Speaking of lumbar disc herniation, many people may feel very familiar, but when you think about it carefully, it seems strange, where is the blame?
In fact, the blame lies in the fact that these people confuse the concepts of lumbar disc herniation and lumbar disc herniation, which, although similar, are two completely different concepts.
In daily life, lumbar disc herniation is more common, but lumbar disc herniation is less common, and the latter is relatively more serious and requires long-term continuous treatment.
So what kind of people are prone to lumbar disc herniation? The following eight types of people pay more attention.
1. Long-term smokers
It is generally said that smoking hurts the lungs, liver, and blood vessels, but in fact, smoking can also hurt the intervertebral discs.
First, smokers often cough, which causes the abdominal muscles or dorsal muscles to contract strongly, which will increase the pressure in the intervertebral discs, and then damage the intervertebral discs;
Second, the harmful substances in cigarettes can cause small blood vessels in the vertebral body to constrict, causing a decrease in the blood supply to the pyramid, which will destroy the normal metabolism of the intervertebral discs. Therefore, long-term smokers are more likely to suffer from lumbar disc herniation.
2. Women during pregnancy and childbirth
In the third trimester of pregnancy, the fetus grows to a certain extent, which will increase the burden on pregnant women, resulting in an increase in the load on the waist of pregnant women, which is easy to induce intervertebral disc herniation.
After childbirth, women at this time are also at increased risk of developing intervertebral disc herniation due to increased negative pressure on the intervertebral discs and lax bones and ligaments.
3. People who are too fat or too thin
Fat people have more abdominal fat accumulation, which will lead to an increase in abdominal weight, coupled with less muscle tissue in the body, then the load on the waist will increase, and it is easy to get lumbar disc herniation.
People who are particularly thin and weak have less muscle tissue in their bodies and lack of strength, and they cannot effectively protect the lumbar spine, so they are also prone to this disease.
4, people who suddenly bear weights
When a person suddenly carries a heavy object, then due to the sudden force, the weight of the waist will also soar, which is likely to lead to damage to the soft tissue of the waist, resulting in the occurrence of intervertebral disc herniation.
Because of this, many people who can exercise must make sufficient warm-up preparations before exercising, because this can protect the waist and intervertebral discs.
5. Car driver
People who are professional drivers, especially long-distance drivers and bus drivers, during the driving process, the pressure in the intervertebral disc will increase,
And because of the duration of driving time, such a high-pressure state will continue, and over time, it is easy to damage the intervertebral discs.
6. Long-term manual workers
People who have been engaged in heavy physical labor for a long time, such as weight lifters, construction workers, and cleaners, are very easy to suffer from lumbar disc herniation, because they often need to bend over or overweight at work, which makes the pressure in the intervertebral disc increase dramatically, resulting in lumbar disc injury, which will form lumbar disc herniation over time.
7. People who often adopt inappropriate waist postures
People who often have improper waist postures such as resting on the case, tilting their heads forward to work, "Ge You lying down" playing mobile phones, watching TV, and chatting on the legs of Erlang are also very susceptible to lumbar disc herniation.
Because these movements will put the waist in the flexion position, so that the pressure of the intervertebral system is relatively high, it is easy to cause the nucleus pulposus tissue of the intervertebral disc to protrude backwards, resulting in injury.
8, do not pay attention to the waist and back to keep warm people
Like sleeping at night without covering the quilt, the whole person blows on the air conditioner in summer, loves to wear backless clothing, waist-revealing clothing and other habits of not paying attention to the warmth of the waist and back, which will lead to long-term cold in the lower back, and the muscles in both places will spasm, causing the continuous contraction of small blood vessels, resulting in a reduction in local blood circulation.
This will destroy the normal nutrient supply of the disc, resulting in an increase in the pressure of the disc and causing damage to the disc.
The most preferred lumbar disc herniation is the above eight types of people, so how to prevent it?
There are four main points of advice from doctors on this;
First, adopt the correct sitting and standing posture, and girls wear less high heels;
Second, avoid overloaded work, pay attention to skills when you need to use force, and do not use brute force;
Third, always do a good job of keeping the waist and back warm;
Fourth, pay attention to nutritional supplementation in diet, and insist on regular waist exercises every day.
Therefore, if you also belong to the vulnerable group of lumbar disc herniation, you must do these four points of prevention every day and always be vigilant, so that lumbar disc herniation will be farther and farther away from you.
