What to do with lumbar scoliosis? Active prevention and treatment is the key

Lumbar scoliosis can be congenital or acquired. Many bad postures in life can cause lumbar scoliosis. For example, looking at the computer for a long time is a common cause of lumbar scoliosis in young people. It needs timely reduction and treatment, and you should maintain a good posture at ordinary times.

1. Treatment and nursing

1. Manual reduction: It can peel off ligament adhesion, improve muscle nutrition, strengthen muscle metabolism, and enhance muscle elasticity. It can dredge meridians, improve blood circulation, and soften soft tissues and ligaments.

2. Traction: It can increase the intervertebral space and peel off the adhesion tissue to achieve the purpose of reduction.

3. Brace fixation: After traction, use necessary braces to force the repositioned spine to remain stable and unchanged without retraction, and also have the effect of expanding the intervertebral space.

4. Electrotherapy: Electromagnetic therapy is used to increase the absorption function of the lesion site, improve blood circulation, peel off tissue adhesions and prevent re-adhesion.

5. Medicine: According to different conditions and patient constitutions, different medicines and dosages are used to assist in the treatment.

6. Surgery: If the scoliosis rotation is too large and there are obvious symptoms of spinal cord compression, surgical treatment should be adopted. Currently, nail fixation is commonly used.

2. Preventive health care

During the correction exercise, if the spine is bent to the left, do the exercise to the left side, and if it is bent to the right, do the exercise to the right side.

1. Side bend by pulling the rib bars with your hands. Stand facing the rib bars on both sides, hold the rib bars with one hand, raise the other hand, and do side bends. Practice 3 sets, 30 to 50 times each set. You are required to keep your head up, chest out, and abdomen in, and your upper body cannot lean forward.

2. Lie prone with your arms bent and support your body on the ground. Lift the leg on the side with scoliosis upward with force. At the same time, straighten the arm on the opposite side and raise it forward. Hold for 3 to 4 seconds and then return to the original position. Do 3 sets of exercises, 10 to 15 times each.

3. Stand with your legs apart, let the arm on the side of the side bend hang naturally, bend the other arm to the side of the shoulder and hold your head, bend your upper body to the side of the side bend, stretch your hand down to the lowest point, hold for 3 seconds, and return to the original position. Do 3 sets of exercise, 10 to 15 times each. Or you can bend one arm sideways and lift a heavy object (such as a dumbbell, school bag, etc.) to practice.

4. Lie on your side in the direction of scoliosis, bend your arms and support yourself on the ground. Kick your outer leg toward your shoulder as far as possible, then return to the original position. Practice 25 to 30 times. The body should be straight when kicking and the kicking amplitude should be large.
