Lumbar pain is a common orthopedic disease in life, but most people do not have a deep understanding of this disease, so what are the common causes? The following is the reason why I sorted out the lumbar pain for you. I hope I can help you.
External injury
External injury is a common cause. For example, if you accidentally bump, scratch, fall, etc. at ordinary times, the external injury is extremely unfavorable to the lumbar spine. I hope you can do a good job in waist protection.
The bed is not suitable
Now people like to sleep in a soft bed for comfort, and the soft bed does great harm to our lumbar spine. It will change the natural physiological curvature of our lumbar spine and lead to uneven stress on the intervertebral disc. If this goes on for a long time, it will easily promote the emergence of lumbar pain. Experts suggest that when choosing a bed, we should choose one with moderate soft and hard.
Environmental reasons
Today's young people wear less and less, and our waist is very afraid of the cold. When we are exposed to the wind and cold, it will cause lumbar muscle spasm, increased intervertebral disc pressure, small blood vessel contraction, and then lumbar pain. Therefore, we can't keep the waist in a sub-health state for the sake of temporary beauty.
Chronic strain
Nowadays, office workers need to sit and work for a long time every day. When sitting, our lumbar muscles will be in a tense state, which will lead to lumbar strain in the long run, so lumbar pain will occur in this way. Experts suggest that sedentary friends often get up and exercise, which can not only relieve the work pressure, but also maintain the waist. It is worth trying to kill two birds with one stone.
Lumbar degeneration
Due to the negative weight and large amount of activity of the lumbar spine, with the continuous growth of age, our lumbar spine is also increasingly worn and degraded slowly. Therefore, lumbar diseases have been declared as senile diseases, but the elderly can slow down the degradation rate of the lumbar spine through daily exercise, so the pain of the lumbar spine may be effectively avoided.

1. Sedentary accelerated lumbar aging. Modern white-collar workers sitting in the office for a long time can easily lead to excessive lumbar age. Because when sitting, the pressure on the waist is 4-5 times greater than when standing. Keep this posture unchanged for a long time, and the central axis of the body changes to further increase the stress of the lumbar spine. This cumulative injury can make the intervertebral disc aging, degeneration and protrusion, narrow the intervertebral space, and shorten the whole lumbar spine after compression. In severe cases, nerve compression causes numbness, pain and discomfort of lower limbs.
In addition, women are more prone to low back pain than men. Because women have the physiological characteristics of menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth and lactation, as well as the pathological characteristics of menstrual diseases, vaginal diseases, pregnancy diseases, gynecological diseases and birth control, low back pain is a common disease. Therefore, white-collar workers should often exercise after sitting for a period of time.
2. Carry a fashion bag. Many women who pursue fashion like to carry a fashion bag on one shoulder. One shoulder carries a large bag weighing 1kg, and the other shoulder muscle may have to bear 3 ~ 4kg to maintain the balance of the body. This force will compress the lumbar spine, which will lead to lumbar lesions over time.
Try not to carry a large bag on one shoulder as often as possible. You often catch cold at the waist. Even when carrying, you should often change your shoulders. It's best not to put too heavy things in the shoulder bag to reduce the burden on the shoulder.
3. Slide your mobile phone while walking. During the commuting period, many white-collar workers often slide their mobile phones while walking, and they walk like a hunchback one by one. In fact, when the back leans forward, the body will unconsciously bulge the abdomen forward in order to maintain balance. At this time, the strength of the upper body will be compressed on the lumbar spine. Over time, it is easy to cause lumbar muscle pain, even spondylolisthesis or long bone spurs.
When walking, you should raise your head, raise your chest and retract your chin. Once you develop the habit of not hunchback, not only the lumbar spine will not be injured, but also the thoracic cavity will no longer be oppressed by the forward inclination of the thoracic spine. Therefore, vital capacity and heart function may be improved.
4. Sleeping on the table in the morning, whether it's lying on the table during lunch break or sleeping at night, it has an adverse impact on the health of lumbar spine. In the former, the lumbar spine leans forward, the lumbar muscles are prone to fatigue and pain, and it is also easy to strain the posterior ligament; The latter will make the lumbar spine more convex forward, pull the back muscles forward, and the muscles and bone tissue cannot get enough rest during sleep.
If you have time to take a nap during lunch break, it is better to sleep in bed or on the sofa. If it is not allowed in the workplace, you might as well prepare an air neck pillow, put it on your neck during lunch break, find a chair with a comfortable back, close your eyes and relax and sit down for rest. As for sleeping at night, it is better to adopt the posture of side sleeping or Ng13 lying on your back, and put a pillow between your legs to fully relax your spine; If you like to sleep on your stomach, it is recommended to put a small pillow under your stomach to help reduce lumbar pressure and possible injuries.
5. The waist often gets cold. The air conditioner is often turned on in the office, and sometimes the temperature is still very low. But you know, our waist is most afraid of cold. Cold or humidity will cause small blood vessel contraction and muscle spasm, which is easy to cause problems with the degenerated intervertebral disc. Especially for girls, you should protect your waist. Don't wear small clothes no matter what weather. Some can't even cover the back waist. This is very bad.
Whether it's spring, summer, autumn or winter, keep your waist warm. Many girls like to wear windbreaker and tie a wide belt at the waist. This is a good practice. It not only protects and warms the waist, but also very fashionable.
