Low back pain is the most common cause and symptom and should not be treated casually.

"Low back pain" plagues many people, and I believe that most people have had symptoms of low back pain discomfort.

Especially these groups of people: (1) drivers who drive for a long time and sit for a long time; (2) Workers engaged in labor activities, such as porters and couriers; (3) the elderly; (4) Pregnant women or postpartum women.

First, let's look at the common symptoms of low back pain-

Poor posture for a long time will easily lead to pelvic dislocation and lumbar joint dislocation, which will unbalance the muscles on both sides of the back and cause pain.

Scoliosis will increase the pressure on the surrounding joints, make the muscles on both sides of the back unbalanced, and lead to low back pain.

Research shows that 85% postpartum women are prone to low back pain.

This is because from pregnancy to delivery, my mother's body has undergone great changes.

(1) pregnant

During pregnancy, the pelvis opens and the lumbar spine leans forward, which increases the pressure between the lumbar joints.

With the fetus getting bigger and bigger, the maternal abdominal muscles are involved, which is prone to "rectus abdominis separation" and "pelvic floor weakness".

These two problems will lead to lower abdominal pressure, further reduce the stability of lumbar spine and stimulate low back pain.

(2) postpartum

In the process of delivery, the ligaments around the pelvis become loose because of involvement, which leads to the instability of the joints around the pelvis, and then the problem of lumbosacral pain occurs.

Research shows that 85% of low back pain is caused by muscle strain.

Exercise without warm-up or strenuous exercise for a long time can easily lead to muscle or ligament strain.

In addition, it is easy to strain the back and ligaments by repeatedly moving heavy objects or suddenly twisting the body.

Over time, muscle tension will occur, or a cord-like lump will form. When touched, there will be obvious pain, even local swelling and subcutaneous bleeding, which will further limit the activity of the spine and cause repeated back pain.

(1) Disc herniation

Under the action of external forces, such as sedentary or repeated bending, disc herniation, compression of spinal nerves, stimulation of low back pain, numbness of lower limbs and other problems.

(2) Spinal canal stenosis

Spinal canal stenosis refers to the narrowing of intervertebral foramen space, which will exert pressure on spinal nerves and then produce low back pain.

(3) Ankylosing spondylitis

Ankylosing spondylitis is a hereditary spinal disease, which is common in men, accompanied by limited movement of the whole spine, muscle and fascia tension, and then low back pain.

(4) Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is common in the elderly, and it is easy to cause lumbar compression fractures, and then low back pain occurs.

First of all, pay attention to sitting posture and try to avoid sedentary; Sports enthusiasts, warm up before exercise and stretch after exercise.

Daily hip muscle strength can be strengthened, such as hip bridge training, which can also prevent low back pain.

Action: lie on your back, put your hands on your sides, separate your feet from your hips and tighten your chin; When exhaling, hold your hips and lift them slowly; Then the scapula leaves the cushion surface until the shoulder, knee and ankle are in a straight line and are roughly perpendicular to the calf, stopping for about 10S, and slowly lowering the hip, so as to make 10 group.

Note: Take the initiative to exert your strength on your hips, and don't use your waist excessively.

In case of acute back sprain or pain, it is recommended to ice or stay in bed for a day or two. Don't massage and massage at this time.

Because during this period, muscle inflammation will occur, if massage and massage are carried out, it will aggravate the occurrence of inflammation and aggravate the pain in the back.

In addition, if you stay in bed for too long, it will reduce muscle tension and flexibility, and may also aggravate low back pain.

If you usually have low back pain, you can do relaxation training through foam shaft and fascia ball.

Persisting in doing these trainings and exercises can effectively prevent the occurrence of low back pain.

The causes of low back pain are more complicated. If your symptoms are more serious, it is recommended to carry out safe and efficient targeted rehabilitation training after systematic evaluation by our professional physiotherapists.
