Nursing of lumbar traction

Various intervertebral disc problems have become very common problems in today's society, and the age of onset is gradually getting younger. Standing for a long time or maintaining a bad standing posture for a long time can cause problems with the spine, especially the lumbar spine. Nowadays, orthopedics does not particularly treat lumbar problems. The best effect is provided by the hospital's rehabilitation department, which usually combines physical therapy with lumbar traction. This article introduces the care issues related to lumbar traction. Let’s take a look.

As a common disease in daily life, lumbar disc herniation often leads to a series of symptoms such as low back pain, numbness and pain in the lower limbs, and the symptoms are often aggravated when engaging in physical labor.

External force: This is the cause of lumbar disc herniation, especially in children and adolescents, which is closely related to it. In daily life and work, many people have long-term improper use of the waist, such as excessive force, incorrect posture or position, etc. The minor damage caused by these long-term and repeated external forces, day by day, acts on the lumbar intervertebral disc and will aggravate the degree of degeneration.

Genetic factors: There are reports of familial incidence of lumbar disc herniation, and the incidence rate among Indians, Eskimos and African blacks is significantly lower than that of other ethnic groups. This is the cause of lumbar disc herniation.

Traction therapy

This is a more common treatment method for cervical spondylosis and lumbar spondylosis, and is generally suitable for patients with mild to moderate conditions. Traction therapy reduces repeated friction and adverse stimulation to the compressed spinal cord and nerve roots by limiting vertebral movement. The treatment principle is to achieve the treatment purpose by increasing the intervertebral space and intervertebral foramen through traction. Once pulled apart, although the pressure on the nerves is relieved, the original normal physiological structure of the vertebra is destroyed, causing the ligaments attached to the vertebra to relax and accelerate degenerative changes. At this time, the patient can use Dishenglong, whose effective ingredients promote local blood microcirculation, strengthen the body and improve physical fitness. This can be found on the mobile phone. Under the principle of syndrome differentiation and medication, it often achieves surprising magical effects.

Try to eat less meat and foods high in fat, as they can easily cause dry stools and straining during defecation, which can aggravate the condition.

You can eat more crude fiber foods such as vegetables and fruits to improve your bowel movements.

Pay attention to bedding and lying position, and avoid bedding that is too soft. A bed that is too soft can become low in the middle and high on the four sides under the pressure of the human body weight, which can easily affect the physiological curve of the lumbar spine and cause uneven force on the intervertebral disc.
