What about backache?

The treatment of low back pain should be decided according to the causes of low back pain.

1. Lumbar soft tissue injury: In the acute stage, it is recommended to stay in bed, and conservative treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and nerve-nourishing drugs is enough. Massage therapy is not recommended during this period, because it may aggravate inflammatory stimulation.

Low back pain caused by chronic soft tissue strain can be improved by oral medicine or external plaster, and at the same time, rehabilitation physiotherapy can be received in regular institutions.

2. Lumbar disc herniation: Most patients with lumbar disc herniation can improve their symptoms after conservative treatment (such as bed rest, oral medication, traction, massage, etc.). ), and the success rate is 80%-90%. Therefore, lumbar disc herniation is still the first conservative treatment.

When there is cauda equina paralysis (manifested as dysfunction of urination and defecation, perianal numbness), surgery should be performed as soon as possible.

When the medical history exceeds 6- 12 weeks, the systematic conservative treatment is ineffective, the symptoms are aggravated repeatedly, or the pain is unbearable, which seriously affects work and life, consider surgical treatment.

3. kidney calculi: Be sure to operate in time.

How to prevent low back pain?

To prevent low back pain, we must first develop the correct habit of using the waist, that is, avoid standing for a long time, sedentary, and avoiding excessive use of the waist.

In addition, we should strengthen the muscle strength training of the back at ordinary times, and suggest practicing Yin Fei's movements.

Middle-aged and elderly people should pay attention to the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and prevent low back pain.

The incidence of knee osteoarthritis in the elderly is very high, and active treatment of knee osteoarthritis can also relieve low back pain. Because with the aggravation of knee joint dysfunction and deformity, it will lead to the increase of waist load and the aggravation of lumbar spondylosis, and you can wear a belt for auxiliary repair and support every day.
