What to do if lumbar ligament is strained? It turns out there are four nursing methods

Lumbar ligament sprains are mostly caused by people's carelessness in daily exercise, especially when squatting or lifting, which are most likely to injure the lumbar ligaments. So how should you care after a lumbar ligament sprain? In fact, there are four methods. The first is to apply ice 24 hours after the ligament is sprained.

1. Nursing methods for lumbar ligament strain

1. Ice compress: 24 hours after the ligament is sprained, when the bleeding stops, you can apply ice compress to reduce blood circulation in the swollen area to prevent vascular necrosis. At the same time, it is also necessary to use Chinese medicine such as Panax notoginseng blood-activating ointment for treatment, which can eliminate swelling and pain and promote ligament healing.

2. Diet therapy: Wash fresh Panax notoginseng leaves, boil a pot of water, put the leaves into the water, and then put an egg in the soup. After the egg is cooked, put it in a bowl and cool it down. Then take the leaves, egg and soup together.

3. Acupuncture: Acupuncture treatment is not limited by the time of injury, so the treatment is more flexible. The doctor will perform acupuncture treatment on different acupoints according to the injured part.

4. Massage: Massage can usually be performed one to two days later. The massage technique and strength need to be mastered correctly to avoid further injury.

Many activities may cause lumbar ligament sprain, and the correct treatment method is very important. You can take these four methods to deal with it. It should be noted that after a ligament sprain occurs, long-term rest is required and recuperation is essential. Only thorough healing can prevent it from turning into a chronic disease and causing functional disorders.

2. How to treat lumbar pain

1. Exercise method

Mountaineering

Fitness effect: Mountain climbing is an excellent aerobic exercise that can promote metabolism, accelerate blood circulation, improve endurance and leg strength, and enhance cardiopulmonary function. Go hiking on the weekend, immerse yourself in nature, breathe freely, sweat heartily, and throw away all the boredom and fatigue of the week.

Bowling

Fitness effect: As long as you have the correct posture when bowling, more than 200 muscles in your body can be exercised.

Note: Exercise time should not be too little or too much.

2. Waist stretching method: If you are not suitable for hanging exercises, you can choose waist stretching exercises. Method: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and relax your whole body. As you slowly raise your arms, breathe in slowly through your nose. Raise your arms above your head, look up at the sky, push your waist up to the maximum limit, and pause. Then, exhale slowly through your mouth as you slowly lower your arms. Repeat this method 36 times, once in the morning and once in the evening. It is best to do it in a place with fresh air.

Note: Do it with a strength that you can bear, do not use force too quickly, and you can gradually increase the strength after you get used to it.

3. Backward walking method: When walking backward, you should choose a flat and safe place to walk backwards. Method: When walking, you should keep your chest up and abdomen in, look straight ahead, wave your hands naturally back and forth, and try to look back as little as possible. The speed of backward walking should be determined according to your ability, and you should proceed step by step. Generally, you should walk backward for 15 minutes each time, twice a day.

Note: Control your speed and be careful not to fall. This method is not suitable for people with poor balance function.

4. Squatting method: Spread your feet shoulder-width apart, raise your hands horizontally, and slowly squat with your toes on the ground and your heels lifted. You must squat down to the correct position. When you first practice squatting, you can half squat with the help of a wall or other object, and gradually increase the number of squats. Do it twice a day, squatting 36 times each time.

Note: Move gently and squat slowly to avoid falling. If you have difficulty in starting to squat deeply, you can do shallow squats first and then deep squats.

5. Hanging method: Use door frames or horizontal bars to do hanging exercises. Method: When hanging, relax your waist and lower limbs, and let the weight hang naturally to achieve the purpose of stretching. The hanging movements must be slow and gentle, and avoid operating the lumbar spine by jumping up and down. For hanging exercises, you should gradually increase the amount of exercise and persist.

Note: Move gently, slowly up and down, and try to have your family members nearby to help protect you.
