With the change of people's lifestyle and the increase of people's work and life pressure, lumbar disc herniation has become a high-incidence and frequently-occurring disease in people's lives. Expert introduction: Not the best method is suitable for the treatment of all lumbar diseases. Some patients can also get pain relief through self-exercise. What exercise methods can patients with lumbar disc herniation take to relieve pain? Exercise method for lumbar disc herniation 1. Swallow-like exercise: the patient lies prone on the hard bed, with his arms straight at his sides, and his head, shoulders and arms lifted backwards. At the same time, his legs stretched out and lifted upward, making his whole body like a flying swallow. After lifting, he will relax and fall, and he will do exercises repeatedly 10 times. This method is an effective treatment in self-treatment. Patients with mild lumbar spondylosis can generally get obvious improvement in 3~6 months. Second, arch bridge practice: on the hard bed, bend the elbows, hips and knees on both sides at the same time, and then support the waist with both hands at five o'clock. After a period of exercise, when your waist strength is better than before, you can bend your upper limbs on your chest and bow your waist at three o'clock. Gradually switch to four-point support with both hands and feet for arch bridge exercise. Repeated exercise 10 times can relieve the symptoms of waist fatigue and pain. Third, tuck your knees to exercise your abdominal muscles: lie on your back on a hard bed, bend your knees, lift your torso with your abdomen, and touch your knees with your hands. Repeated exercise for 40~60 times is used to relieve the muscles and ligaments of the whole waist and achieve therapeutic effect. Fourth, deep knee squat practice: the feet are shoulder-width apart, and the heels should not leave the ground when squatting, and the arms are close to the calves. At the same time, make a fist with both hands and stretch it forward, and start slowly. When you stand up, stretch your back and retract your fist. Do it from slow to fast. Repeat 100 times. Treatment of Lumbar Disc Herniation (1) General treatment: In case of acute attack, it is recommended to stay in bed properly to prevent further development of the disease, and it is advisable to stay in bed with a hard plate. In severe cases, sandbags can be placed on both sides of the waist for braking. (2) TCM treatment: TCM treatment [Yaogufang] aims at expelling wind and cold, relieving spasm and dredging collaterals, and promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. It can dredge meridians, reduce swelling and relieve pain, thus treating lumbar disc herniation. (3) Western medicine treatment: oral painkillers can be effectively solved, and can also be blocked by local spraying pain points. (4) Physical therapy and functional exercise: The commonly used physical therapy methods mainly include hyperthermia, wax therapy, infrared ray, ultrasonic wave and laser local irradiation. Massage the waist can strengthen the waist and kidney, dredge meridians and prevent lumbar muscle strain. Prevent lumbar disc herniation 1, maintain good living habits, prevent cold in the waist and legs, and prevent overwork. 2. Stand or sit correctly. Improper spine will cause uneven stress on the intervertebral disc, which is the hidden source of disc herniation. The correct posture should be "stand as loose as a bell", hold your chest out and straighten your waist. The same posture should not be kept for too long, and proper in-situ activities or low back activities can alleviate the fatigue of low back muscles. 3. Don't bend excessively during exercise, otherwise it will not only fail to achieve the expected purpose, but also cause disc herniation. Don't bend over when lifting heavy objects. You should get down on your knees to pick up the heavy objects, then get up slowly and try not to bend over.
