It's always backache in rainy days. What happened?

Low back pain, don't think it's all "strain"

There are dozens of reasons for low back pain. The common diseases are lumbar hyperosteogeny, bone spur, disc herniation, lumbar hypertrophy, spinal canal stenosis, lumbar fracture, spinal tumor, acute and chronic lumbar trauma or strain, lumbar muscle strain, ankylosing spondylitis and so on. In the traditional concept, chronic low back pain is often considered as "lumbar muscle strain" after systemic examination excludes disease factors. In fact, 40% patients with low back pain suffer from chronic osteofascial compartment syndrome, but they have been troubled by low back pain for a long time because they cannot get symptomatic treatment. Many patients have had low back pain for a long time, and some people even have been hurting for 50 years and still don't know what is going on. The trend of low back pain is also obvious, and some people suffer from this disease at the age of 18.

The back is the most powerful part of the human body, providing support and protecting the spine. For people who are sedentary in the office for a long time and lack exercise, or who need to stand for a long time because of work, it is easy to cause low back pain, leading to chronic osteofascial compartment syndrome in lumbosacral region, and some of them accumulate after repeated injuries. Many patients with chronic low back pain are related to chronic osteofascial compartment syndrome, which may be caused by the increase of pressure in the osteofascial compartment, which leads to the disappearance of the subfascial space of the lower back, the decrease of muscle blood flow and the degeneration of loose adipose tissue. Because of this kind of injury, patients will have low back pain whether they walk more, sit more or lie more, that is, it is easy to have low back pain if they keep a posture for a long time. This is an important clinical feature of chronic osteofascial compartment syndrome.

Small knowledge of rehabilitation medicine can also see the problem through "walking"

Gait is a behavioral feature that people move their bodies through the alternating movements of their feet. Gait analysis reveals the causes and laws of abnormal gait through the study of walking laws, and evaluates the degree of injury and rehabilitation. Rehabilitation doctors have been able to let patients "walk" while seeing a doctor through special machines! Through gait analysis, doctors can provide objective diagnosis basis for patients' health, sub-health and diseases of bones, muscles and nervous system such as orthopedics, neurology and surgery. At the same time, it can provide objective and true basis for the formulation of surgical plan, the evaluation of postoperative effect and the evaluation of rehabilitation effect.

Four new concepts of orthopedic rehabilitation medicine

* Not only patients with late recovery or sequela should be rehabilitated, but also patients should be rehabilitated from the early clinical stage to strengthen their awareness of clinical rehabilitation.

* It is necessary to master not only the skills of rehabilitation specialty itself, but also the principles of clinical treatment of related diseases, such as related orthopedic injuries and diseases, in order to cooperate with rehabilitation.

* We should not only form an "intra-disciplinary team" with therapists in various treatment departments of rehabilitation medicine, but also closely contact doctors in orthopedics and other related clinical departments to form an "interdisciplinary team" to provide patients with the best rehabilitation treatment.

* Not only give full play to the role of non-surgical rehabilitation therapy in functional rehabilitation, but also fully understand the value and role of necessary orthopedic surgery in functional rehabilitation, and introduce patients who should undergo rehabilitation surgery into orthopedic surgery in time to correct deformity and improve function.

For a long time, people have always thought that it is best to sleep on a hard bed for those who always complain about low back pain. In order to verify the scientific rationality of this traditional statement, Spanish scientists recently conducted a related experiment. The experimental results show that for patients with low back pain, the type of mattress that can best relieve their low back pain is medium hardness, not the hard hardness that people often say.

The researchers explained that because hard mattresses can provide better support for the whole body, doctors generally recommend people with low back pain to use hard mattresses. But experiments have proved that the hardness of the mattress should be moderate, not too hard, so as to relieve the low back pain itself. Researchers say that the waist is one of the most prone to problems in all parts of the human body. Most people will leave back pain at some stage of their lives, either because of injury, careless use of their waist or accidents. At the same time, few people know that the cost of treating low back pain is amazing.
