Speaking of "Victoria", many people will think of "Victoria's Secret" or Queen Victoria. Of course, Victoria Beckham is also a name that cannot be avoided.
From the "Spice Girls" Victoria Adams to David Beckham's "Beckiss" and four children after marriage. Victoria can be called the template for the protagonist of a teenage story, but did you know that she, who is loved by thousands of people, actually suffers from lumbar disc herniation, and it was even so severe that she needed Beckham's help to breastfeed Xiaoqi.
According to reports, Victoria often felt discomfort in her waist when she was pregnant with Harper Seven Beckham. The pain worsened when she was preparing for a caesarean section. X-rays revealed that her waist had a herniated disc, which disappeared after delivery. Improved, she was in so much pain that she couldn't even hold her daughter, and had to rely on her husband's help to breastfeed.
1. Why is pregnancy a period of high incidence of lumbar protrusion in women?
In fact, not only Victoria, many women will suffer from lumbar disc herniation during pregnancy. What's going on?
Tangdu Hospital Spine Neurosurgery Professor Li Weixin said: "Women's endocrine hormones change during pregnancy, and various ligaments in the pregnant woman's body are relatively loose. At this time, the ligaments and fascia of the waist joints are loose and the stability is weakened. It is easy to induce Lumbar disc herniation! "
In addition, when a woman is pregnant, the fetus and attached placenta, amniotic fluid, etc. continue to develop, increasing the burden on the mother's lumbar spine, causing pelvic forward tilt, , and lumbar back muscle relaxation and fatigue, which can easily induce lumbar disc herniation.
2. What should women pay attention to when pregnant women suffer from lumbar disc herniation?
Patients with lumbar disc herniation have many things to pay attention to in their daily lives. Pregnant women with children need to pay more attention. So, what should women pay attention to if they have lumbar disc herniation during pregnancy?
1. Pay attention to your posture, and strictly control your forward bending movements to keep your waist straight;
2. Avoid labor such as lifting heavy objects that puts great pressure on your waist;
3. Be careful to avoid your waist being fixed in a certain posture for a long time;
4 , Pay attention to keeping the waist warm, cold-proof, and moisture-proof;
5. When discomfort occurs in the waist or is accidentally sprained, diagnosis and treatment should be made in time;
3. Lumbar disc herniation massage should be done with caution
The report pointed out that after Victoria’s lumbar disc herniation, Beckham He hired a medical team to treat his beloved wife, hired a chiropractor who charges NT$5,700 per hour to rehabilitate her, and sought help from the physiotherapists and doctors of his Galaxy team. However, it should be noted that not all patients with lumbar disc herniation can be massaged.
Professor Li Weixin said: "Although massage is an important method of conservative treatment for lumbar disc herniation, it is not suitable for all patients. If the patient is blind, it may aggravate and damage the nerve root compression, causing irreversible damage, and even occur. A vicious paralysis event! "
In addition, if the patient's massage time and method are incorrect, it may cause damage to the nerve roots, aggravate the symptoms of patients who have already suffered from nerve root compression, and delay the condition. Therefore, patients with lumbar disc herniation must consult a spinal neurosurgery specialist before receiving massage, and the doctor will decide whether they can receive massage, whether they need massage, and when to do massage.
Finally, patients with lumbar disc herniation can best choose professional medical institutions during massage to avoid adverse consequences caused by wrong techniques.
4. Can female patients with lumbar disc herniation wear high heels?
Victoria is the well-known "Queen of Sky-Hateful High Heels" and "Shoe Controller" who still wears high heels during pregnancy. So, can women wear high heels after lumbar disc herniation?
Professor Li Weixin said: "From the perspective of human mechanics, putting your feet in a pair of shoes with high heels, pointed toes and hard soles, especially high heels that are shaped like wine glass heels, not only changes the reasonable proportion of the foot's weight, but also The toes are squeezed and the impact caused by walking and jumping cannot be alleviated.Therefore, there are clinically patients who suffer from bone hyperplasia or lumbar disc herniation in the spine due to wearing high heels for a long time. Therefore, patients with lumbar disc herniation are best not to wear high heels. Especially the thin single root hates the sky. "
Furthermore, frequent wearing of high heels during pregnancy may aggravate intervertebral disc herniation, and as the fetus grows and the mother's weight increases, it may compress the nerves and cause pain.
Finally, even women who are not pregnant should not wear high heels for a long time because Studies have pointed out that for every 1cm increase in the height of the heel, the extension of the lumbar spine and the contraction of the lumbar back muscles will increase exponentially, and the pressure will also increase exponentially, making it easier to suffer from lumbar disc herniation.
5. Flat bottoms. What are the benefits of shoes for the lumbar spine?
After Mrs. Beckham received treatment after giving birth to Xiao Qi, the doctor recommended wearing flat shoes. So what are the benefits of flat shoes for patients with lumbar disc herniation?
"Compared with high heels and mid-heeled shoes, flat heels are better." The benefits of shoes for patients with lumbar disc herniation are obvious! "Professor Li Weixin said that when wearing flat-heeled shoes, the lumbar spine is less stretched and under less pressure, which is more helpful to avoid further aggravation of the patient's symptoms.
However, flat-heeled shoes are not the best for patients with lumbar disc herniation. For patients with lumbar disc herniation, the most suitable shoes are actually negative heel shoes (the heel is high in front and low in back)
negative heel shoes can ensure that the body's center of gravity is forced to move backward, the pelvis is tilted forward and the lumbar curvature is reduced. It is small and puts less pressure on the lumbar spine. Moreover, negative heel shoes are not inconsistent with patient treatment and recovery, and can consolidate and improve the curative effect. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with lumbar disc herniation try wearing them.
