How to protect the health of lumbar spine

The lumbar spine is a very fragile area. If you do not pay attention to its maintenance, it is easy to cause diseases such as lumbar disc herniation and lumbar curvature. Therefore, you must protect the health of the lumbar spine in your daily life. Try not to lift heavy objects while working, or pay attention to rest after a lot of work. Frequently tapping both sides of the waist with your hands will relieve the condition. Pay attention to your usual sitting and standing posture, and you can also apply a hot compress to your waist before going to bed. Here are a few ways for you.

First, try to lift as little heavy objects as possible

Remember to bend over less to lift heavy objects in daily life to avoid lumbar muscle strain. Also be careful when suddenly twisting your waist and extending your waist forcefully when bending over. It will greatly damage the waist muscles and lumbar intervertebral discs. Cause immeasurable harm. It is recommended to find someone to help you when moving heavy objects. Remember to bend your knees and squat first, leaning your body forward to distribute the gravity to the leg muscles and reduce the burden on your waist; be careful not to use force all at once to reduce the burden on your waist.

Second, pay attention to the correct sitting posture

Office workers often sit for long periods of time at work, but they do not pay attention to the correct sitting posture. Plus, they lower their heads to play with their mobile phones, which can easily lead to back pain. For example, if the height of the chair is not appropriate, the waist and back will be convex and the head and neck will be tilted backward. It is recommended to keep your back straight when sitting and adjust the height of the chair and computer screen. Sit for about an hour and then get up and move around to relieve the pressure on your waist.

Third, keep exercising

Lumbar muscle strain is mainly caused by overload of work. It is recommended to pay attention to proper rest in daily life. Also, try to choose wooden beds for sleeping, and do not choose mattresses that are too soft. The key is to pay attention to exercising more often, like jogging. Swim, practice yoga, hula hoop, etc. to improve your body's immunity. Don't be too lazy. You can also apply hot compress before going to bed to help prevent your waist from getting cold.

Good health is no small matter. You have to actively adjust. You can also massage your waist at ordinary times. If you place a massage chair at home, you can easily enjoy a comfortable massage. It can improve lumbar muscle strain, relax muscles and tendons, prolong life, and add impetus to a healthy life.
