For most of the day, we should be like this:
We may all be like this after work:
People who sit for a long time and stand for a long time are actually very easy to have low back pain, about 80% of people, some time in their lives will experience low back pain, the prevalence is second only to the cold.
However, occasionally mild low back pain, only need to be properly relieved and relaxed, you can recover quickly, but if you encounter severe low back pain, it is not as simple as relaxing and resting.
Low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide, with an 18% prevalence of low back pain in people aged 45 years and older
Recently, the authoritative medical journal "Lancet" published an article involving 65 new studies, and the review showed:
Low back pain has become the leading cause of global productivity loss and the number one killer of health life loss in 126 countries, becoming the world's leading cause of disability.
In addition, the prevalence of low back pain is the highest in people aged 40-69, accounting for 28% to 42% of the incidence, of which the prevalence of middle-aged and elderly women aged 40-80 is particularly high.
Good end, how did the waist start to hurt?
Low back pain is mainly characterized by degenerative lesions of the lumbar spine and muscles, and with age, the higher the incidence of low back pain, the more severe the symptoms.
In addition, with the gradual increase of life expectancy, people's health awareness gradually increases, so the incidence of low back pain will naturally increase.
In addition to aging, what other reasons will be the "bane" of low back pain?
Low back pain is related to many causes, and in general, the causes of low back pain can be the following three:
First, the sitting posture is not good
The correct sitting posture should be straight, if you often sit there crookedly, it is likely to deform the lumbar spine, and even cause lumbar disc herniation.
The lumbar disc herniation will naturally cause low back pain, so it is necessary to maintain a good sitting posture to effectively prevent low back pain.
Second, bad work habits
Low back pain is more likely to be more likely to be in specific work groups.
For example, heavy manual workers, they need to carry weights to bend and walk, then it is easy to cause waist damage, and then cause waist pain.
For example, people who often need to sit and work, if they sit still for a long time, may also cause low back pain, so it is best to get up and move around often.
Third, stay in the same position for a long time
If you stay in the same position for a long time without moving, it is likely to cause the muscles to stabilize, which will cause problems with muscle spasms and eventually lead to lumbar muscle strain.
In addition to lifestyle habits, low back pain can be a sign of illness
When low back pain occurs for a long time, and no matter how to rest or relax, the symptoms have not decreased, then it is very likely that the disease is warning you, so be cautious:
1. Rash on the waist
When the skin of the waist is infected, it may cause a rash, the most common symptom is redness, swelling, heat and pain, so the low back pain may be caused by the rash on the waist.
You may want to observe the skin of your waist for rashes or redness, and if so, you need to think about what pathogens you have recently been exposed to.
2. Psoas muscle strain
Psoas muscle strain is a common muscle injury that often occurs in heavy physical labor. In general, to cope with psoas muscle strain, you need to rest enough and relax the waist by massaging.
3. Lumbar disc protrusion
Low back pain, while not as scary as cancer, can also be a source of suffering. Usually, patients need to fight the loins of low back pain for a long time.
In many cases, when the lumbar disc is herniated, it will also compress the nerves and cause low back pain, which is difficult to cure.
4. Kidney cancer
Tumors occur in the kidney area, and as the tumor grows, it will involve the renal envelope to compress the peripheral nerves and intramuscular tissues, resulting in low back pain, generally dull pain in the waist or epigastric region.
Some patients also have severe colic because the blood clot is blocked when it is discharged through the ureter, so it is easy to be mistaken for a kidney or ureteral stone, thus delaying treatment.
To beat workers, it is necessary to walk and move
Most patients with low back pain are actually caused by poor work posture or sitting and standing for a long time.
Therefore, the muscles of workers, we also need a shift system, standing for a while, sitting for a while, walking, do not maintain a posture for a long time.
If the low back pain cannot be relieved, do not press randomly, or put down the work at hand in time and go to the doctor quickly.
After all, only if the waist is saved, can life be saved!
