Lumbar muscle strain is a chronic inflammation of the lumbar muscles or fascia, mainly manifested as lumbar pain, distension or tingling; stooping work, exertion will aggravate the symptoms, stretching or pounding on the waist can alleviate the pain; lumbar spine joints or radiographic examination is mostly no obvious abnormality.

If the weather is cold and damp, or factors such as prolonged sitting and standing exertion will lead to aggravation of the symptoms; it is easy to recur, sometimes mild and sometimes severe, is a relatively common disease.

Treatment of lumbar muscle strain injury, you can use massage acupuncture physiotherapy hot compresses and other methods, I often use dulcimer, hyssop, sangmangsheng, schizandra, these four medicines with the combination of treatment.

These four herbs can enter the kidneys and go straight to the lumbar region, serving to nourish the kidneys and strengthen the lumbar region, removing blood stasis and relieving pain;

Overall there are tonic and diarrhea, but not cold overheat, and then according to the identification, plus flavor treatment, treatment of lumbar muscle strain effect is good. I

Add or subtract method reference:

Caused by wind-cold obstruction of collaterals, Qiangwu, Duhong, Ephedra, and Xinxin are often added;

Damp-heat paralysis caused by, more add Cangzhu, Huangbai, Coix Seed, Zezhi Diarrhea and so on;

Lumbar muscle strain is also known as functional low back pain and chronic lower back injury. Generally due to sports injuries, huge external force or repeated strain injuries to the muscles and tendons of the lower back, or ligament injuries between the vertebrae and the vertebrae, lumbar muscle strain injury is a very common type of disease in clinical outpatient clinics.

The clinical manifestation of lumbar strain is a dull ache in the lower back without numbness or weakness in the lower limbs. The pain is short-lived and most patients recover within a week. The pain is in the lumbar region, occasionally to the buttocks, but not to the legs and below the knee. The pain is easily induced by strenuous exercise or trauma, relieved by rest and aggravated by exercise.

Lumbar muscle strain generally does not need to be treated by surgery, can be used hot and cold compress therapy to relieve pain, in 24 to 48 hours to take cold compresses, 2 to 3 days after the hot compresses, bed rest for 1 to 3 days and gradually resume activities.

The prevention of lumbar muscle strain involves strengthening the core muscles, adopting correct posture when lifting heavy objects, and not having mental stress. If the lumbar muscle strain is not paid attention to at the beginning of the discovery, after the muscles and the protection of the lumbar spine is reduced, it is likely to cause lumbar disc pathology through the development.

Rehabilitation of lumbar muscle strain involves bed rest, which will relieve the pain symptoms, and the disease is actually a strain on the muscles and fascia, which means it is overused. Gradually find out where your exercise and lifestyle have caused lumbar muscle strain, such as whether the posture is wrong when carrying heavy objects, whether the exercise is excessive, etc. Pay attention to the sitting posture in life and wear appropriate shoes. Usually work should also pay attention to the combination of labor and relaxation. Consciously increase the strength training of the core muscles, lumbar square muscles, gluteus maximus, abdominal muscles, the outer thigh muscles and inner thigh muscles strong, can reduce the occurrence of lumbar muscle strain injury.

Many people because of prolonged sitting, bending or because engaged in heavy physical labor, easy to cause lumbar muscle strain, lumbar pain and other symptoms, prolonged pain and affect the normal food work and life. Some people treat lumbar pain as a common symptom, and do not pay special attention to it, slowly the condition develops, it may lead to aggravation of the condition. So what are the specific symptoms of lumbar strain?

1. Weakness in the lower back.Lumbar muscle strain will lead to lumbar weakness, a little inadvertent "sprain feeling", symptoms gradually aggravated, accompanied by lumbar activity disorder, check the lumbar muscle flaccidity, weakness, no obvious pressure pain, X-ray examination is mostly no abnormality.

2. Soreness in the lumbar region, aggravated by cold.The pain is aggravated by too much bending, and it is difficult to straighten the waist, and the symptoms are alleviated after appropriate activities and changing the position or sufficient sleep and rest. The degree of pain in the lumbar region is strong and weak at times, mostly intermittent pain, which gradually becomes persistent pain and intensifies gradually. The pain is also affected by the weather, and is aggravated by cold or rainy days.

3. Prolonged recurrent lumbar soreness and swelling.The lumbar region is like a heavy weight, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, lingering, adequate rest, strengthen the warmth, appropriate activities or change the body position posture can make the symptoms reduce.

4. Pain with a tugging discomfort.Normal lumbar activity, usually not too abnormal, but after standing or bending for a long time, there will be lumbar pain, difficulty in straightening the waist, especially in the onset of obvious pain in the lower limbs, etc., and it can be improved by massaging the waist with the hands.

Therefore, avoid sitting and standing for a long time in your daily working life. When the situation of back pain occurs, you can go to the hospital for the necessary tests, such as X-ray, CT, MRI, etc., in order to determine whether it is accompanied by other bone abnormality problems.

After diagnosis of lumbar muscle strain, anti-inflammatory and pain relieving drugs can be used, and also can be adjusted with Chinese medicines that soothe tendons and activate blood circulation, and at the same time with massage and physiotherapy, which can promote early recovery. At the same time, we should maintain the correct sitting and standing posture, and properly move the waist after standing and sitting for a long time, in order to minimize the occurrence of lumbar muscle strain.

Lumbar muscle strain is mainly caused by poor living habits and working postures, such as prolonged bending and prolonged repetition of a certain posture and movement.

The main symptom of lumbar strain is pain in the lumbar or lumbosacral region that recurs, and the pain can vary with changes in climate and the degree of exertion. The pain may be mild or severe, often prolonged, and there may be extensive pressure pain in the lumbar region, but spinal activity is usually not obviously abnormal.

In acute attacks, the pain in the lower back as well as the limitation of movement are very obvious, and it is also accompanied by muscle spasm. If it is severe, it may lead to scoliosis, and some patients may have pulling pain in both lower limbs or one lower limb, but there is no obvious radiating pain or numbness.

The nature of the pain is mostly dull, and can be confined to one area or scattered throughout the lumbar region, with more pronounced lumbar soreness and distension, as well as some stabbing pain.

The main symptom of lumbar muscle strain is lumbar or lumbosacral distension, pain, recurrent, pain can change with seasonal changes or the degree of exertion, aggravated by exertion can be made through rest to reduce the symptoms of this is a common disease, frequent disease, and the onset of a number of factors.

This symptom mostly occurs in manual laborers, athletes, sedentary, standing, holding heavy objects, often bending upright, overworked people. Sometimes acute lumbar sprain is not treated in time, resulting in chronic lumbar muscle strain, and chronic lumbar muscle strain has a certain relationship with the climate, the environment, the temperature is too low or humidity will promote or aggravate the condition.

During the period of suffering from lumbar muscle strain injury, it should be treated in time. If the condition is mild, it can be treated by physiotherapy, massage, massage and other methods of relieving the tendons and activating the blood. The more serious patients can add some Chinese medicine co-treatment, so that the symptoms of lumbar muscle strain injury can be improved.

1, lumbar injury, injury to the kidney qi caused by lumbar muscle strain:

Safflower, peach kernel, qiangwu, red peony, fried eucommia, Chuanjie, papaya, cumin, broken old paper. The above herbs should be decocted with water and taken once a day. This herbal formula has the effect of tonifying the kidney and strengthening the waist, regulating qi and relieving pain.

2, qi and blood blockage, lumbar muscle strain caused by the lumbar network:

Bai Longshu, Hooker's root, Angelica sinensis tail, Purple danshen, Yanhusuo, White peony, Roasted licorice, Elongated grass, Sheng Ma Huang, Cooked earth, Grass safflower, Chuan Xuijian, Fragrant herbs. The above herbs are taken by decoction with water, one dose per day. This herbal formula has the effect of promoting qi and blood circulation, soothing tendons and relieving spasm.

3. Lumbar muscle strain caused by obstruction of meridians and insufficiency of liver and kidney:

Di Long, Su Mu, Tao Ren, Tu Bao, Ephedra, Huang Bai, Yuan Hu, Angelica Sinensis, Chuan Jian, Wu Yao, Glycyrrhiza glabra. The above herbs should be decocted with water and taken once a day. This herbal formula is effective in activating blood circulation, tonifying the liver and kidney.

These are the common herbal remedies for lumbar muscle strain injury, herbal remedies can enhance the immunity of the patient, very suitable for patients to take. Lumbar muscle strain injury is very harmful to the body, if you have similar symptoms, you must seek timely medical treatment and timely treatment, so that lumbar muscle strain injury can be effectively controlled and treated.

Chronic lumbar strain injury is mainly due to long-term occupational strain or feeling cold and dampness, resulting in lumbosacral muscles, fascia, ligaments and other soft tissues of chronic injury, causing local aseptic inflammation, also known as functional lumbago.

The main causes of lumbar strain areChronic cumulative injury to the low back muscles.Mostly due to habitual poor posture, or a long time in a fixed position, resulting in one or both sides of the muscles continue to contract without diastole, fascia and ligaments continue to pull, excessive fatigue produces inflammatory substances to stimulate the posterior branch of the spinal nerves to produce persistent low back pain.

The main clinical manifestations of lumbar strain areSoreness and pain in the lower backThe symptoms are mild and recurrent, with distension or soreness, which can be alleviated by rest or change of body position, and aggravated by exertion, rainy weather, wind, cold and damp stimulation. The patient's lumbar function is basically normal, but sometimes it is difficult to straighten the waist after sitting or bending for a long time.

Patients with lumbar muscle strain have toPay attention to lumbar warmth, correct bad posture, and carry out functional exercises for lumbar and back muscles.The lumbar spine should be corrected with a pillow in the supine position. If the physiological curvature of the lumbar spine disappears or is inverted, it is appropriate to correct the lumbar pillow in the supine position. Avoiding prolonged bending and lumbar overload labor is the key to preventing recurrence or reducing clinical symptoms.

My WeChat: Listen to Dr. Moe

Doing serious medical science and telling interesting medical stories.

Will you, uh, listen to me?

Thanks, I believe that in many people's consciousness, lumbar disc herniation and lumbar muscle strain, joint disorders and so on are the common causes of low back pain, yes, lumbar muscle strain is a very broad concept, for example, some people are fasciitis can be diagnosed as lumbar muscle strain, psoas major muscle tightness is also lumbar muscle strain, back muscle strain is also lumbar muscle strain, and there are other muscles that can be said to be lumbar muscle strain, so much for the words, just want to say that, although all of them are All this to say, just to say that although they are all lumbar muscle strain, the symptoms will be different for each person. Here are a few examples of common causes

psoas major muscle tension

Tightness or injury to the psoas major muscle is a very common cause of low back pain, may have low back pain but can't say exactly which one hurts, positive psoas major muscle tenderness, some people are more comfortable bending over instead, so when they come into the clinic, ta will come in bending over and arching their backs

fasciitis

Back muscle pressure points are obvious, some people feel better when they move around a bit, and the symptoms are more obvious when they don't move around, and hot compresses and stuff have an effect.

The first is the "M" in the "M".

How do you regulate back pain?

Anyway, attention to posture and prevention always comes first;

Next, stretching or roller pressing

Lastly, exercise, I recommend working on core strength.

Swimming is a good choice, and does not hurt the knees, many people with back pain and a big belly, this kind of people with swimming to lose weight is really appropriate;

Or swallow fly, plank support, whatever.

Like if it makes sense, and feel free to follow for more knowledge!

Hello, a brief introduction to lumbar strain [small applause].

[Think] Lumbar muscle strain, also known as functional low back pain, chronic lower back injury, lumbar gluteal myofasciitis, etc., is actually a chronic injurious inflammation of the lumbar muscles and their attachment points of fascia or periosteum, and is one of the common causes of low back pain.

The main symptom is lumbar or lumbosacral distension, pain, recurrence, pain can change with climate change or degree of exertion, such as daytime exertion aggravation, rest can be alleviated when light or heavy, for the clinical common disease, frequent disease, the pathogenesis of more factors. Its accumulation, can make the muscle fiber degeneration, even a small amount of tearing, the formation of scarring, fibrous cord or adhesion, leaving long-term chronic low back pain.

So how do you prevent lumbar strain? [what][what][what]

[Rose] Usually it is necessary to pay attention to proper rest, change posture regularly, avoid bending over to hold objects, etc., as a way to alleviate the symptoms, and the same is the root of preventing reoccurrence.

[Rose] A lumbar girdle can be used at work if necessary, but should be removed at rest to avoid secondary disuse atrophy, which can further exacerbate spinal instability in the lumbar segment. Lumbar muscle strength should also be trained to increase the compensatory regulation of the undamaged muscles.

[Rose] When pain significantly interferes with work and rest, medical attention should be sought and non-steroidal antipyretic and analgesic drugs should be prescribed as needed to relieve pain.

Lumbar muscle strain, also known as functional low back pain, is a relatively common low back pain disorder. Lumbar muscle strain injury is mainly caused by lumbar muscle, soft tissue injury caused by low back pain, is a chronic lesion, the patient's normal work and life is relatively large impact.

What are the symptoms of lumbar strain?

1、Lumbago

Low back pain is a typical symptom of lumbar muscle strain. Instead of pain in the middle of the back, the muscles on both sides of the back hurt, especially when bending over. Some people don't have much of a problem when they are standing, but as soon as they bend over, the muscles on both sides ache.

2. Weakness in the lower back

As long as a slight change in position, it is easy to appear "twisted feeling", the symptoms worsened, or muscle weakness, fatigue, and accompanied by a series of symptoms such as lumbar dyskinesia.

3. Difficulty in bending

Recurring soreness and discomfort in the lower back, a dull swelling pain, the lumbar region is tight with heavy boards, such as heavy loads, can not bend over normally to work, often forced to stretch or to hit the lumbar region with a fist in order to relieve the pain.

4. Slightly restricted activity

Patients with lumbar muscle strain injury will have discomfort from pulling, can not sit for a long time and stand for a long time, bend over for a little while, it will be difficult to straighten the waist, the lumbar activity is slightly limited, and can not be able to do the work of bending over.

To determine the lumbar muscle strain, the main symptoms are low back pain and limited lumbar activity, for example, patients can not straighten their backs after bending over for a long period of time, and it takes a long time to slow down, or after a nap, wake up and find that they can not straighten their backs, and they can only straighten their backs by slowly holding on to chairs and stools.

What are the symptoms of lumbar strain?

Before we answer that question, let's understand what theLumbar muscle strain:

Chronic lumbar strain injury is the most common disease in chronic low back pain, with long-term recurrent low back pain as the main clinical manifestation, mainly refers to the chronic injury of lumbosacral muscles and fascia, which is often used as a general term for chronic low back pain without a clear organic pathology, which includes gluteal fascia syndrome, lumbar 3 transverse process syndrome, interspinous ligament injuries, as well as lumbar widespread immobility while the activity is basically normal cumulative Lumbar strain. It is also referred to as functional low back pain. This disease has a wide range of people, both men and women, young and old may suffer from this disease, and once suffered from it will not be easy to heal, often need long-term careful treatment to achieve satisfactory results.

Symptoms of lumbar strain:

1, long-term recurring low back pain, blunt distension or soreness, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, lingering, some serious people even have to walk with crutches, and produce lumbar deformity, and some even bedridden.

2. Symptoms can be alleviated after resting, strengthening lumbar warmth, appropriate activities or frequent changes in body position and posture. However, the symptoms will be aggravated when they are affected by wind, cold and dampness due to exertion, cloudy and rainy weather. Chronic lumbar muscle strain lumbar pain is mainly manifested as rest pain, that is, at night, early in the morning lumbar pain is obvious, and get up after the activity of lumbar pain gradually reduce, if excessive fatigue is aggravated pain.

3. The range of pain is wide, and the most common pressure points are on both sides of the spinous process, transverse process of lumbar vertebrae and posterior superior iliac crest. In mild cases, the pressure pain is not obvious, but in severe cases, the pressure pain may be accompanied by swelling, spasm and stiffness of the muscles on one or both sides of the spine.

4. Back movement is generally unimpaired, and the appearance of the waist is mostly unchanged. If the acute attack symptoms are more severe, muscle spasm, scoliosis, lower limb pulling pain and other symptoms may appear.

5, X-ray examination, except for a small number of lumbosacral vertebrae congenital deformity and elderly patients vertebral osteophyte bone spurs, most of the abnormal findings.

How do I differentiate lumbar strain from other diseases?

1. Lumbar disc herniation, with typical symptoms of lumbar and leg pain accompanied by radiating pain in the lower limbs, limitation of lumbar activities, scoliosis and loss of tendon reflexes, skin sensory disorders and other symptoms of nerve root compression.

2. Tuberculosis of the lumbar spine has generalized symptoms such as low-grade fever, night sweats and gradual wasting. In blood examination, the rate of blood sedimentation is accelerated, and X-ray examination may reveal that the bone quality of the lumbar vertebrae is destroyed or even that there is a negative cyst next to the spine.

3, proliferative spondylitis ( bone spurs ), often occurring after the age of forty-five, long-term lumbar pain traction thighs, calves of the lateral pain, sometimes good and sometimes bad, after resting some relief, walking or carrying heavy objects when the phenomenon of soreness aggravated, the spine can be percussive pain. x-ray examination of lumbar vertebrae can be seen in the calcium precipitation and the edge of the joints of the osteophytes.

4, old fracture injury, patients often have a history of acute trauma, there will be varying degrees of lumbar activity disorder. x-ray examination can be found in the vertebral body is compressed or near the fracture phenomenon.

In daily life and work must maintain good posture, long-term sitting laborers must maintain the correct sitting posture, should be corrected bad working posture, such as bending too long, or too low. Laborers who need to bend over for a long period of time because of their work must keep their lower back flat, so that the center of gravity of the body is located in the hip joint and foot, which is not easy to cause lumbar muscle fatigue.

Good life from the beginning of health, the beginning of health, health science professional media!
