1. Lumbar muscle strain

Muscle strain is a common cause of low back pain, which is caused by trauma or excessive fatigue, among which athletes are the most common. More pain in the lower lumbar region, lumbar muscle tension.

2. Hypertrophic spondylitis

Hypertrophic spondylitis is more common in the elderly. Generally, the pain is heavier when getting up in the morning, alleviated after activity, relieved in the pain department when encountering heat, and the lumbar muscle tension is more obvious.

3. Osteomalacia

Osteomalacia is more common in middle-aged women and is related to multiple pregnancies. Low back pain has a wide range of directions, often including muscle soreness, limb fatigue, bone bending and deformation, etc.

4. Lumbar disc herniation

If it is lumbar disc herniation, it often hurts in the lower waist. Due to the change of body position, it can cause severe pain, obvious tension of lumbar muscles and obstruction of movement.

5. Lumbar fasciitis

Psoas myofasciitis is mostly caused by rheumatism, with extensive and unstable pain points. Pain has a certain relationship with climate, without lumbar muscle tension.

6. Lumbar spine rheumatoid

Remember that the low back pain of rheumatoid is extensive, and it is teratogenic in the late stage and can not straighten the waist. It often occurs in teenagers. Low back pain is closely related to climate and season.

1. Low back pain: most of them are persistent dull pain and drag like pain in the waist, which occurs when sitting and standing for a long time, and alleviates when lying flat; The other is sudden lumbar spasm like severe pain, which is unbearable and needs to stay in bed. This disease is mostly the rupture of intervertebral disc fibers.

2. Radiation pain of lower limbs: most patients have sciatica, or start pain from the hip first. When coughing, sneezing and urinating hard, the radiation pain of lower limbs will be aggravated. In addition, leg pain is more severe than low back pain, which is also the main manifestation of lumbar disc herniation.

3. Numbness: the nerve root is oppressed by the protruding part of the intervertebral disc, the blood flow is insufficient, ischemia and hypoxia, and there will be abnormal feelings such as pain and numbness in the lower leg or foot.

4. Coldness of lower limbs: the protruding intervertebral disc compresses or stimulates paravertebral sympathetic nerve fibers, causing the contraction of blood vessel wall of lower limbs, resulting in coldness and coldness of lower limbs, weakening of dorsalis pedis artery, etc.

5. Muscle atrophy: if the intervertebral disc stays in the spinal canal for a long time, the nerve roots are compressed, the dominated muscles are unable to contract, lack of nutrition, the strength of the muscles becomes useless, the weakness and volume become smaller, and the muscles of the affected limbs and legs are thinner than those of the healthy legs.

6. Intermittent claudication: when walking, the congestion of vertebral venous plexus blocked in the spinal canal and the expansion of spinal cord blood vessels aggravate the degree of ischemia of nerve roots, and the affected limb has pain. It is necessary to stop and rest for a while before continuing to walk.

1. Keep good posture

Good posture good posture can make the body present a natural and comfortable state. When standing and walking, the human body should keep the head and chest straight, and try not to wear high-heeled shoes. When working and studying, the thighs, legs and upper body should be kept at about 90 degrees to maintain the natural comfort of the body, and the legs can be moved appropriately to reduce the pressure on the waist and the stiffness of body muscles caused by long-term inactivity.

2. Moderate exercise

Proper exercise can enhance physical fitness. After sitting and standing for a long time, it can increase and speed up the operation of human Qi and blood, relieve stiff muscles, increase the training of waist strength, improve the bearing capacity of waist and reduce the occurrence of waist injury.

3. Calcium supplement

Diet regulation low back pain is mostly caused by diseases such as lumbar spine, so we should pay attention to calcium supplement in diet. We can eat more foods with high calcium such as milk in daily life. Vitamins are necessary substances to promote the absorption of human nutrition, so vitamins also need to be supplemented in peacetime.
