Lumbar disc herniation commonly occurs in people aged 30 to 50 years old. It is mainly caused by factors such as poor sitting posture, lack of exercise, aging, and unbalanced nutrition. Some people It was caused by trauma.
Who is at high risk for disc herniation?
Lin Songkai, director of the Sports Medicine Center of Lianxin International Hospital, once pointed out in the "Health" column that the following five types of people are most likely to suffer from intervertebral disc herniation:
● Pregnant women in late pregnancy: The fetus is getting bigger, which increases the burden on the lumbar spine.
● Work requires sitting or standing for long periods of time, poor posture and lack of exercise: Such as nurses, teachers, counter ladies, customer service staff, and office workers who sit in front of the computer for a long time.
● Athletes: engage in more intense sports, especially those that require bending and exerting force (weightlifting) or physical collisions (basketball, football, rugby).
● Elderly people: The annular ligament that protects the intervertebral disc gradually ages and softens, leading to disc herniation.
● People who often move heavy objects: For example, employees in the furniture industry, construction industry, department store industry, mass sales industry, and electronics industry.
But not everyone with a herniated intervertebral disc will have obvious symptoms. Unless the nerve is compressed, symptoms such as soreness, numbness, pain, muscle weakness, and difficulty in urinating and defecating may occur. At this time, treatment must be received.
Lin Songkai also reminded: Intervertebral disc herniation is easy to recur. Sometimes just sneezing or flashing to the waist may cause the intervertebral disc to herniate again and press on the nerves. Therefore, patients who have recovered from rehabilitation or surgical treatment must be very careful to maintain correct posture and exercise habits in the future to avoid recurrence of nightmares.
In daily life, how to use simple posture training to stabilize the spine and avoid disc herniation?
