Lumbar disc herniation has a great impact on the patient's daily life. The pain is particularly obvious and may even affect walking. Everyone should pay attention to this disease, treat it in time, exercise the spine more often, and improve posture. Good habits are the key to preventing and treating this disease. 1. Strengthen spinal exercises Exercise also has a positive effect on skeletal muscles, such as increasing the size of bone protrusions at muscle attachment points, increasing bone density, and enhancing muscle strength. Exercise improves blood circulation in bones, joints, and ligaments, increases metabolic processes, increases the organic components of bones, reduces the inorganic components, increases bone strength and toughness, and delays bone degeneration. Strong back muscles can prevent soft tissue damage in the waist and back. Abdominal and intercostal muscle exercises can increase intra-abdominal and intra-thoracic pressures, helping to reduce the load on the lumbar spine. 2. Get regular health checks Regular health checks should be conducted, especially for adolescents, to check for congenital or idiopathic deformities, such as idiopathic scoliosis or spondylolysis. If this happens, lumbar degeneration is likely to occur in the future, leading to premature onset of low back pain (low back pain [translation]: refers to pain on one side, both sides, or in the middle of the waist. It is a symptom of many diseases and can also be an independent disease.). For people who have engaged in strenuous lumbar activities, they should pay attention to whether pedicle fractures have occurred. If there are such structural defects, they should strengthen back protection to prevent repeated injuries. 3. Improve your posture and combine work and rest Pay attention to self-regulation and avoid long-term repetitive fixed movements. The labor department should stipulate the maximum load to avoid overloading the spine, so as not to promote and accelerate degeneration. For some people who need to bend over or work at a desk for a long time, the pressure on the lumbar intervertebral disc is more than double that when they stand normally, and the incidence of low back pain and lumbar disc herniation will increase accordingly. You can change your sitting posture by constantly adjusting the height of the chair and the desk, and insist on doing exercises during work breaks to allow tired muscles to recover. 4. Good living and eating habits Diet is an important guarantee for life and health. The spleen is the foundation of acquired constitution, responsible for transportation and transformation, and controls muscles and limbs. Improper diet and damage to the spleen and stomach will often affect the production of Qi and blood in the human body, leading to Qi and blood deficiency, malnutrition of tendons and bones, and muscle atrophy, and can contribute to the occurrence of diseases. Daily life is also the guarantee of human health. People should have regular daily life and moderate sexual intercourse to avoid wasting kidney energy, wasting essence and fluid, which may lead to kidney essence deficiency and brain marrow malnutrition, resulting in low back pain. |
