In different positions, people's lumbar intervertebral discs bear different pressures. Comparatively speaking, when people lie on their backs, the pressure on the lumbar intervertebral disc is the least; Stress will increase when standing; When sitting upright, the pressure will further increase, and the pressure at this time is generally four times that when lying flat; When sitting hunchbacked, the pressure on the lumbar intervertebral disc is greater than that when sitting straight. So sedentary will increase the internal pressure of lumbar intervertebral disc. Sedentary accumulation to a certain extent, it will lead to disc herniation, low back and leg pain, and even oppression of ponytail, dysuria.
Yang Baolin, deputy chief physician of the emergency department of Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, said in an interview with Life Times that the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic said that "prolonged lying hurts qi and sedentary hurts the kidney", because the brain is a marrow sea, and sedentary kidney will lead to the obstruction of qi and blood meridians, slow excretion of metabolites, and easy to produce symptoms such as waist swelling, soreness and numbness.
For office workers who focus on mental work, if they continue to use their brains nervously, they will add fuel to the fire for these symptoms, making people feel tired and have unbearable low back pain. This kind of pain usually can't find a fixed point, but the general and persistent pain will make people feel sore. It needs to be pressed by hand and applied with hot things to relieve it. This is caused by kidney deficiency and is the characteristic of deficiency syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine.
