What are the treatments for lumbar lordosis?

The health of the lumbar spine has a great impact on people's bodies, because the lumbar spine plays a very important role in supporting people's body weight and keeping people upright. Once the lumbar spine is affected by disease, its functionality will decline and the pain of lumbar lesions will increase. Let's take a look at the treatments for lumbar lordosis. I hope everyone can understand.

The posture correction method of lumbar lordosis can refer to the following content:

Lumbar lordosis is the forward protruding arc formed by the lumbar segment of the spine protruding toward the abdomen. Its formation is related to the wedge shape of the lumbar vertebral body and intervertebral disc. The dorsal wedge-shaped change of the vertebral body and intervertebral disc can increase the lumbar lordosis curvature, among which the fifth lumbar segment accounts for 40% of the lumbar lordosis curvature, while the first lumbar segment accounts for only 5%.

Posture Correction for Lumbar Lordosis

type

1. Soft lumbar lordosis

This type of lordosis can be corrected by intentional action and is often caused by weakness of the muscles that contribute to the posterior pelvic tilt, such as the gluteus maximus, semitendinosus, semimembranosus, and biceps femoris;

2. Structural lumbar lordosis

This type cannot be corrected through intentional behavior and is often caused by shortening of the lumbar erector spinae muscles and the muscles that tilt the pelvis forward, such as the iliopsoas, rectus femoris, quadratus lumborum, and sartorius.

Self-treatment

Stretching the lower back muscles

Changes in lower back muscle tone can lead to a range of pain, and reduced mobility in this area can cause functional limitations and further lead to lumbar degeneration. The following stretches can help maintain low back mobility and prevent excessive muscle tension.

1. Lie on your back, bend your hips and knees to tilt your pelvis backward, tighten your abdomen while exhaling, and keep your lower back flat on the ground.

2. Lie on your back, bend your hips and knees, hold one knee joint with both hands, and gradually bring the knee joint closer to the chest;
