What to do if the lumbar curvature becomes straight? The most important thing is to cure it as soon as possible

The straightening of the lumbar curvature will change the lumbar structure, which is mostly caused by poor posture. This disease causes symptoms of low back pain, numbness and pain in the lower limbs, and severe cases may lead to loss of sensation. It can be treated minimally invasively or conservatively.

1. Treatment measures

1. Minimally invasive treatment: the preferred method for patients with lumbar disc herniation

At present, the domestic minimally invasive technology for treating lumbar diseases is becoming increasingly mature. Advanced minimally invasive technology has completely solved the medical problem of lumbar disc herniation being difficult to cure.

2. Conservative treatment

During clinical consultation, a small number of patients receive conservative treatments, such as acupuncture, massage, traction, physical therapy, etc. These are non-invasive treatments that are safe, simple, easy, and low-cost. Patients with first-time illness or mild symptoms should mainly receive conservative treatments, mainly including bed rest, drug therapy, massage, traction, physical therapy, and blockade. The biggest disadvantages of conservative treatment are that it is slow to show results, time-consuming and has a low cure rate.

3. Open surgery

It is suitable for patients who have not responded to conservative treatment and minimally invasive treatment or whose lesions are large in area and severe in degree. Since the entire process is performed under direct vision, surgery can completely relieve nerve compression and loosen adhesions, and the effect after surgery is obvious. The disadvantage is that it causes great trauma, destroys the stability of the lumbar spine, and generally requires internal fixation with metal materials, so the cost is high. Surgery itself carries certain risks and complications. After surgery, patients often need to stay in bed for more than two months and the recovery time is long.

2. Preventive health care

1. Maintain good living habits to prevent your waist and legs from getting cold and avoid excessive fatigue.

2. Stand or sit in the correct posture. An abnormal spinal column can cause uneven stress on the intervertebral discs, which is a hidden cause of intervertebral disc herniation. The correct posture should be "stand like a pine tree, sit like a bell", with the chest lifted and the waist straight. The same posture should not be maintained for too long. Appropriate in-place activities or waist and back exercises can relieve fatigue in the waist and back muscles.

3. Do not stretch your legs or bend your waist too much when exercising, otherwise it will not only fail to achieve the desired purpose, but also cause a herniated disc. Because if you exercise carelessly, it can make the situation worse. Therefore, not everyone can grasp the exercise method accurately. So treatment is the key.

4. Do not bend over when lifting heavy objects. You should squat down first to pick up the heavy object, then stand up slowly, trying not to bend over.
