In fact, many of them are "pits" buried by people who are "afraid of surgery" or want to "opportunistic" to avoid formal treatment. However, people often think that these methods seem to be "scientific" and even have some effects after doing them. Why?

This is because those so-called "methods" of health preservation are all taken from the content of "rehabilitation exercise" in formal treatment. These rehabilitation exercises can improve symptoms to some extent, but only after receiving formal treatment or even surgery can patients be advised to have regular rehabilitation exercises. If you use them rashly in the acute stage of the disease, it is not only useless, but may aggravate the condition!

Let's talk about three common "health" misunderstandings.

In many "health preserving" articles about the treatment of joint and soft tissue discomfort, we only judge the types of diseases according to the painful parts, and then teach several actions to relieve the pain.

This is the "taboo" for the treatment of orthopedic diseases!

For bone and joint diseases and related soft tissue diseases, it is often a pain point and may be a completely different disease. For example, the most common low back pain, if it is only lumbar muscle strain, often strengthening back muscle exercise can improve symptoms; But if it is the injury of interspinous ligament, we should avoid bending over. Hasty exercise will not only improve the condition, but even aggravate the ligament injury and thus "fall into the root cause".

In addition, bursitis of joints such as shoulder, elbow and knee, stenosing tenosynovitis of fingers, etc., which cause joint pain, may aggravate the condition by carrying out various so-called "rehabilitation actions" on the basis of not clarifying and treating the primary disease!

Coronary heart disease, especially after cardiac stent implantation, requires oral antiplatelet drugs for life. Many patients are very afraid of the side effects of long-term medication. Some people use the excuse that "medicine tonic" is not as good as "food tonic" to mislead heart patients, saying that eating some Chinese herbal medicine or food can "promote blood circulation" without side effects and can replace aspirin.

Drug therapy pays attention to the intensity of drug action.

Small ailments, low-intensity treatment is enough, even if you don't take medicine, there may not be symptoms. That's why many patients with heart disease who don't have severe coronary artery stenosis tell themselves that "eating traditional Chinese medicine or food that promotes blood circulation has also cured coronary heart disease". However, for patients with a clear history of angina pectoris and even receiving stent therapy, routine high-intensity antiplatelet therapy must be performed to ensure the patency of blood vessels and stents. Other alternatives are "absolutely impossible"!

Health is all-round, covering three stages: before illness, after illness and after illness. The methods of keeping in good health at different stages are also different.

We have to admit that many hospitals now pay more attention to treatment than health care and rehabilitation, which has led to a large number of public health "blind spots" and made those unscientific "health care" rumors popular. This is a place where health science has a long way to go.
