If it's just a muscle strain, the pain point is on both sides of the lumbar spine.

And there is a tendency to extend upward.

Muscle strain can be relieved within 3 days to a week.

If the lumbar muscle strain is serious, you need to roll it with a foam shaft, which will be relieved in about one to two weeks.

injury of joint

The pain point of joint injury is the middle of lumbar spine.

Muscle injury may not be felt during training, and it will suddenly feel pain 24 to 48 hours after training.

But with a waist injury, you will feel pain immediately at the moment of injury.

The feeling of pain is the kind of pain caused by a needle inside.

Prolapse of the lumbar intervertebral disc will stab the nerve at the back, affecting half of your ass until one leg is a little numb, so many people even think that their ass or leg is injured.

Degree of waist injury

Severe lumbar disc bulging, protrusion and prolapse are already spinal injuries. You need to go to the hospital to take pictures. CT can help you diagnose. The price is around 450 to 800 yuan.

Bulging is the least, followed by protrusion and sagging.

solution

The principle of all joints in our body is the same. Only muscles can protect the strength of your joints.

No matter shoulder, knee or lumbar spine, joints are very fragile. There is only one solution, and that is to strengthen your muscles.

Muscle strain and joint injury have similar causes, but the principle is completely opposite. So the solution strategy is completely different.

muscle strain

It is a kind of sports injury caused by overtraining because your muscles are not strong enough.

If it is a muscle strain type, rolling with a foam shaft can help you relieve it. Muscle strain can be recovered after 72 hours to 2 weeks, and it will be strengthened according to the later training.

injury of joint

Joint injury, although muscle weakness, is more serious than sports injury and incorrect posture, leading to joint dislocation.

Remember, if you have joint injuries or lumbar problems, never roll the foam shaft. Rolling the foam shaft, including all massage techniques, will only make you feel worse.

Acupuncture, pro-test is invalid.

Massage is not only ineffective, but also makes you more painful and unable to stand up for several days.

Cupping and hot compress are helpful, but not a permanent cure.

Absinthe, it's no use.

Stretching and hanging upside down can only relieve symptoms, but not cure them.

Because the principle is simple, acupuncture or massage is because your muscles are tense, and massage can help you relax your muscles.

For example, massage trapezius muscles and relax shoulders.

But there is no muscle in the lumbar spine, and the muscle is not strong enough to cause waist injury. Where is the muscle tension? So this treatment is counterproductive.

heat

Because joints like heat rather than cold. You can't stop breaking your iron bars at a temperature of several hundred degrees, so you can only break them in Bai Wan. But if it's a few hundred degrees below zero, it's broken right away.

The same is true of joints. By heating, your joints will soften and the pressure on the lumbar spine will decrease, so it is helpful. You can go to Ma Yun's house to search for the warm zone, which will help you. It can also solve the problem of knee pain in the elderly, and keeping warm can relieve the pain.

Hang upside down, stretch

Because we humans, whether standing or sitting, all the pressure will be concentrated on your waist from top to bottom.
