What is the best sleeping position for lumbar muscle strain?

Lumbar muscle strain is caused by long-term sitting, standing, bending over for too long, etc., which damages the lumbar muscles. Some patients suffer from lumbar diseases. If they do not pay attention to lumbar care after the disease, they will get sick. In severe cases, it will affect the patient's work and rest. It is also a disease that is prone to recurrence, slow to treat, and poor recovery. Patients can cooperate with other methods of conditioning, such as using the best sleeping posture. So what is the best sleeping posture for lumbar muscle strain?

The correct sleeping position is to lie flat on your back with a low pillow. Do not sleep on a bed that is too soft. If you feel discomfort in your waist, you can raise your legs a little to fully relax your waist.

The treatment of this disease is basically similar to that of lumbosacral fibrositis, with the following points mainly emphasized.

1. To eliminate the cause of the disease, in addition to paying attention to the position of the waist and back during work and avoiding the forward bending position that puts the waist and back muscles in a high-tension state, you should also pay attention to the rhythm of work. For work that cannot be performed in this position, you should choose a sitting posture that is more in line with the biomechanics of the waist and change it frequently. It is not advisable to maintain one sitting posture for too long. Doing calisthenics or back exercises similar to breaks between classes every 1 to 2 hours is very effective in preventing and treating this disease. In addition, corresponding countermeasures should be taken to address the impact of the climate environment, and prolonged stay in an air-conditioned environment should be avoided.

2. For patients with chronic strain, strengthening the lumbar and back muscles, mainly the sacrospinal muscles, can not only compensate for the function of the diseased tissue by increasing muscle strength, but also promote the early recovery of patients. There are many ways to exercise the waist and back muscles, and the best one is the flying swallow skimming the water (or dragonfly skimming the water) style, 3 times a day, 50 times each time (you can do less at the beginning).

3. Blockade therapy: As mentioned above, in addition to injecting procaine, 0.5 ml of hydrocortisone can be added each time; 4 times is a course of treatment, and the interval between each treatment should be 5 to 7 days. Most of them are effective, with about 50% to 70% of patients achieving significant results or even complete recovery.

4. Other methods including physical therapy, symptomatic medication, external application of Chinese herbal medicine, mineral bath, etc. all have certain therapeutic effects. For some patients with a long course of illness and long-term ineffective treatment, a plaster waist or chest and back brace can be used for immobilization and fixation for 8 to 10 weeks. At the same time, strengthening the waist and back muscle exercises can usually achieve satisfactory results.

What is the best sleeping position for lumbar muscle strain? The sleeping position suitable for this disease is mainly lying flat on your back, using the waist and back position to rest. Pay attention to the hardness of the bed you sleep on. Do not sleep on a soft bed, otherwise the treatment effect will not be achieved. After using the correct sleeping position, patients should also pay attention to the correct treatment method. Patients with this disease must control their habits, otherwise the waist will be fatigued for a long time. Only a good rest can make the waist recover normally.
