Lumbar disc herniation is more likely to occur in people aged 30 to 50 years.
is mainly caused by factors such as poor sitting posture, lack of exercise, aging of the body, and unbalanced nutrition.
But in a small number of people, it is caused by trauma.
Who is at high risk for disc herniation?
The following five types of people are most likely to suffer from intervertebral disc herniation:
1. Pregnant women in late pregnancy.
The fetus is getting bigger, which increases the burden on the lumbar spine.
2. Work requires sitting or standing for long periods of time, poor posture, and lack of exercise.
For example, nurses, teachers, counter ladies, customer service staff, and office workers who sit in front of the computer for a long time.
3, athletes.
Engage in more intense sports, especially those that require bending and exerting force (weightlifting) or involving body collisions (basketball, football, rugby).
4, old man.
The annular ligament that protects the intervertebral disc gradually ages and softens, leading to disc herniation.
5. People who often carry heavy objects.
For example, employees in the furniture industry, construction industry, department store industry, wholesale industry, and electronics industry.
But not necessarily, everyone with a herniated disc will have obvious symptoms.
Unless the nerve is compressed, symptoms such as soreness, numbness, pain, muscle weakness, and impaired urination and defecation may occur. At this time, treatment must be received.
Intervertebral disc herniation is easy to recur. Sometimes just sneezing or flashing into the waist can cause the intervertebral disc to herniate again and press on the nerves.
Therefore, patients who recover regardless of whether they are treated with rehabilitation or surgery.
In the future, we must be very careful to maintain correct posture and exercise habits to avoid recurrence of nightmares.
In daily life, how to use simple posture training to stabilize the spine and avoid disc herniation?
To avoid recurrence of intervertebral disc herniation, "lying on your back in pigeon pose" can easily get rid of pain and numbness.
When there is no obvious compression and discomfort, you can do some gentle exercises to reduce the pressure on the spine and effectively avoid the recurrence of intervertebral disc herniation.
Do it 20 times a day and you will see the effect in about 1 week.
This action mainly strengthens the core muscles, helps the spine become stronger, and avoids disc herniation and nerve compression.
