"Your waist is quite strong, but do you often feel this pain?" This is Dr. Li Shufan looking at the medical records, slightly raising his eyebrows and asking the patient sitting opposite.
The patient's name is Tang Menglin, an enthusiastic animation designer who often stays up late to capture inspiration.
Recently, Tang Menglin always feels tired, and he wakes up easily at night, and finally falls asleep, and is often awakened by sudden back pain.
On the advice of his family doctor, he went to a hospital in the city center to find out the root cause of his symptoms through a comprehensive medical examination.
Li Shufan is the doctor Tang Menglin sees, and he is well received by patients for his profound medical knowledge and humorous communication methods.
Through detailed consultation and examination, Li Shufan preliminarily judged that Tang Menglin's problem may be related to the health condition of his waist.
Typically, he explains, lower back health can be assessed by examining the following three questions:
The first is the strength and flexibility of the lower back muscles.
Healthy lower back muscles should be strong and stretch well.
If there is frequent pain in the lower back muscles, it may be a sign of muscle fatigue or lack of strength.
The second issue is the structure and symmetry of the spine.
Li Shufan explained in detail that the spine should have a natural S-shaped curve, and if the curve is abnormal, it may lead to an increase in the burden on the lower back, which can cause pain or other symptoms.
The third is the health of the lumbar intervertebral discs.
Degeneration or herniation of a lumbar disc is a very common lower back problem, especially for people who sit for long periods of time at work.
As an animator designer, it is common for Tang Menglin to sit in front of a computer for long periods of time, which may be an important factor in his low back pain.
Dr. Lai Shufan pulled up a set of data from his laptop, a recent study of their studies that involved a survey of the waist health of thousands of office employees.
Data shows that people who stay in the same position for a long time have a 30% higher incidence of lower back problems than the regular population.
And these low back problems are not only limited to pain, but also include dysfunction and even nerve compression.
After a detailed examination and a series of physical examinations, Li Shufan confirmed that Tang Menglin had a mild herniation of his lumbar spine, which may have been a significant factor in his pain and sleep problems.
He suggested that Tang Menglin should undergo physical therapy and adjust his daily routine and living habits, such as getting up and moving regularly, using ergonomic chairs, and exercising to strengthen his lower back muscles.
Although Tang Menglin is a little disappointed with the result, he is full of hope for the future.
At Lai's suggestion, he decided to enroll in a rehabilitation course designed for lower back health and began to adjust his lifestyle.
After a few months, Tang Menglin felt that his condition had improved significantly. His sleep quality has improved and his lower back pain has been reduced a lot.
So, how can we prevent lower back health problems through simple habits in our daily lives?
Changing your sitting position, increasing exercise, and keeping your waist warm are all effective ways to do so, but the deeper question is, how do you find balance and keep your body in the best shape of your body in the fast-paced modern world?
The incidence of lower back problems is significantly higher in people working in the office than in other occupations, reminding us that proper physical activity and scientific work habits are essential for the prevention of occupational diseases.
More importantly, how should we adjust our living and working environments to avoid these health problems?
It's not just a health issue, it's a quality of life issue.
