Why is herniated lumbar disk common among young and middle-aged people nowadays?

First of all, thank you for your question.

As to the question of why young people and middle-aged people are now commonly suffering from lumbar disc herniation, in fact, most of the lumbar disc herniation is caused by bad life habits. Among them, especially the office family, long-term sedentary leading to the emergence of a series of problems in the waist, neck and shoulder. Long-term lumbar force, improper use of force, and no timely relief, the formation of lumbar degenerative disc changes over time. The reason why the lumbar disc is prone to problems, its own anatomical factors are also related. Lumbar intervertebral discs in adulthood gradually lack of blood circulation, because of its lack of blood and oxygen, so the repair ability is poor, especially after the degeneration, it is more difficult to repair; In addition, the lumbar intervertebral discs after the lateral fibrous annulus is relatively weak, and lumbar spine after the longitudinal ligament from the lumbar 1 to the lumbar 5 from the width of the lumbar 5 - sacral 1 vertebral interspace, the width of the width of the lumbar is significantly reduced, about the lumbar width of the 1/2, on the fibrous annulus of the reinforcement of a markedly weaker role, so this lumbar disc fibrous annulus is more vulnerable to problems. As a result, the annulus fibrosus of the lumbar intervertebral disc here is more prone to damage and rupture. In addition, under normal circumstances, the lumbar intervertebral disc long-term weight pressure, coupled with frequent lumbar activities, it is more likely to cause a greater extrusion and wear and tear of the intervertebral disc, especially the lower lumbar intervertebral discs, resulting in a series of degenerative changes (such as dehydration of the intervertebral discs themselves, deformation), with the growth of the age of the degree of its greater and greater. There are now young people more and more popular similar to "Ge You lying" abnormal posture, brush the cell phone circle of friends lead to the waist and neck muscles in a long-term spasm or stress state, more unfavorable to the support of the lumbar protective effect. Some families like very soft sofas or mattresses, did not choose the right home and so on are the lumbar disc herniation more and more, more and more young reasons.

I hope the above answer can help you.

Why is lumbar disc herniation so common in young, middle-aged people these days?



Lumbar disc herniation is no longer a term reserved for older people; many younger people have it, including many doctors themselves, and the problem is primarily the following.

1, sedentary, nowadays young people, especially some white-collar office, they usually work most of the time in front of the computer office, a is a whole day, lunch breaks are also eating takeout, climb the table to rest for a while. The whole working time is rarely up, up is also in a hurry to go to the toilet back to continue to sit down.



This way our lumbar spine is under constant pressure and the discs do not get a chance to relax, which over time can lead to bulging discs or even herniated discs with ruptured annulus fibrosus.

2, young people engaged in heavy manual labor, they need to carry out heavy lifting every day, the lumbar force for a long time, gravity, as well as bending over to carry heavy objects, lumbar intervertebral pressure is too large, thus leading to herniation.

3, accidental injuries, such as sports sprains, car accidents and excessive force injuries. This situation is also becoming more and more common, this is because now young people usually exercise time is too little, the lumbar muscles are weak can not well protect the lumbar spine, so the lumbar intervertebral discs because of the external force is too large and appear to protrude.



Usually at work, after an hour to get up and move for 5 minutes, after work can go out to exercise, don't sit at home and play with the cell phone. Every day there is an hour of exercise, not only let your lumbar spine to relax, can better relieve fatigue.

I am Dr. Lee of the Rehabilitation Department, click the upper right corner to follow me, away from sub-health there, enjoy a healthy life.

rybySh, thanks for the Kenyan Unionist invitation. The problem is indeed that, one, such people are the main force in the construction of socialism and have to engage in a lot of physical activities. Secondly, the above diseases are caused by not getting the normal activities of the human body, such as long-term bending, flash frustration, spinal vibration. Therefore, it is not surprising that the above groups of people are most likely to get this disease. Third, the elderly is not easy to get this disease, so the above problem I am so see. Please also pay attention and comment!

Lumbar discs begin to degenerate at age 18.

Young people are prone to acute lumbar disc protrusion, especially those engaged in heavy manual labor, mostly caused by incorrect posture when lifting heavy objects.

Chronic lumbar disc herniation is mostly caused by lumbar muscle, fascia, ligament, and synovial joint injuries causing lumbar force balance imbalance.

Because of CT, MlR and other tests, the diagnosis rate of lumbar disc herniation has increased, and it is felt that there is an increase in the number of herniated discs in young and middle-aged people. And now people work computer, cell phone and other reasons lead to long-term sedentary, exercise reduction, easy to form the lumbar chronic lumbar muscle strain, can not stabilize the back column and the formation of herniated disc.

A herniated lumbar disc without symptoms does not require treatment.

Treatment is only needed if there are symptoms. Acupuncture treatment is effective.

The average number of needle knife treatments per day for 10 years or so was 20.

I. Sedentary and standing

Second, sitting posture, sleeping posture is not correct

Third, excessive diet of cold, cold and raw cold food

Four, too many fans and air conditioners (lack of yang energy)

V. Less exercise (or inappropriate methods of exercise)

wait a minute!

Why is lumbar intervertebral herniation so common nowadays among young and middle-aged people?

Lumbar intervertebral herniation is caused by immune deficiency and endocrine imbalance, in addition to trauma.

Nowadays, the average life expectancy has increased, but in reality, people's health is not ideal, bone disease, blood disease. Sub-health is serious. Caused by this reason from the juvenile has begun, learning, homework, pressure, do not pay attention to physical exercise.

Individuals, with high academic qualifications, are not good at expressing themselves, cannot find an ideal job, have a mental breakdown, and some even become monks. In terms of life, after graduation, they are in the stage of entrepreneurship, and it is difficult to choose a spouse without a car or a house.

Dietary aspects, dietary irrationality, like to eat high-fat, high-salt, high-sugar food, a variety of reasons to cause endofen secretion disorders, the formation of osteoporosis that is bone lesions.

Thanks for inviting me to answer. This problem does occur at a lot of rates. The main reasons are the following:

1. After human beings walk upright, the force on the spine is converted from transverse (parallel to the ground) to longitudinal (perpendicular to the ground), forming the condition of longitudinal pressure on the spine, thus laying the foundation for the increase in the force of the intervertebral discs under pressure, which constitutes the basis for herniation of the intervertebral discs.

Peculiarities of modern people mostly less physical activity, muscle strength is not widely exercised, the formation of muscles, ligaments and other soft tissues on the spinal stability of the support role of the spine becomes smaller. Increased the need for intervertebral discs in the role of stabilizing the spine.

With the rapid development of economy, people's demand for health is increasing, and the diagnosis and treatment of diseases are no longer limited to the simple level of the year, and the participation in the diagnosis of magnetic resonance, CT and so on, lays the foundation for the improvement of the detection rate.

4. The development of science and technology, the emergence of large-scale fine instruments, so that previously unable to present the microscopic state to show (can clearly see the nerves, blood vessels, etc.).

5. The increase in life expectancy of the population, the emergence of an aging society, and the increase in chronic diseases also increase the number of herniated discs.

To summarize, a combination of social, human, and consciousness factors contribute to the questioner's problem.

My department is basically lumbar and cervical herniation, but the number of old and 30-year-old patients is not comparable, lumbar and cervical herniation more and more young words are getting more and more serious, attributed to the following reasons cold, fatigue, bad habits, young better treatment!

Thanks for the invitation to answer the question! Turned on my phone and saw this question, and interest came to multiply my spirits. First of all, I would like to thank the headline for providing a big platform and thank the friend who asked the question! Because this disease is no longer a case, but occasionally from the root of the solution to the good.

First, the sequelae of acute lumbar injury, lumbar sprain and contusion is divided into two kinds: 1. soft tissue injury pain, we only want to think of ways to cure the pain, regardless of the pathological changes in local tissues, more and more clogged over time, the formation of stiff tissue or produce a variety of pathological phenomena, affecting the circulation of qi and blood and metabolic function; 2. vertebral joints wrong seam misalignment (some of the direct cause of herniated discs), the problem of the majority of doctors and patients as laymen! This problem most doctors and patients as laymen, only the real Chinese medicine bone reset can be corrected, so encounter what method with what method, with the right method can be, with the wrong method that the disease is not good treatment. The real problem has not been solved, continue to pathologic changes will eventually affect the herniated disc.

Second, the lumbar soft tissue chronic injury, mainly sitting posture is not correct and sitting time is too long excessive, excessive bending long-term pulling tissue, or to the side tilt long-term pulling tissue, resulting in tissue stagnation of blood and gas or ischemia and hypoxia, or spine on both sides of the tension is not uniform, causing the vertebral joints misshapen misalignment, affecting the herniated disc;

Third, wind, cold and humidity invasion, summer cool air-conditioning temperature is too low, or the wind blowing rain improperly handled, or then the wet place too long, or diet cold excessive injury to the body, will be paralyzed tissue, affecting the supply of blood and qi, resulting in disc herniation.

Fourth, co-existing problems, the above three problems are sometimes common to the herniated disc problem is more complex.

Fifth, medical misunderstanding, are paying attention to the treatment of herniated disc and pain or numbness, neglected to lose the herniated disc cause and the original (disease base). On the one hand, everyone in the "disease and wait for the disease", while the doctor only treats the symptoms and abandoned the original source, so the herniated disc patients continue to increase, more and more.

Sixth, healing method, herniated disc (acute and serious need for treatment to control symptoms) is not a cure, but fluent lumbar all soft tissues, to achieve soft and flexible and strong spine reset method of correcting the vertebral joints, in order to be cured.

Seven, prevention, avoid excessive cold, correct sitting posture and time, appropriate treatment of acute and chronic injuries (loose soft tissues and correct the joints), often lumbar self-passage massage or suitable exercise methods, to achieve and maintain the bone is correct, tendon soft can prevent disc herniation.

VIII. I hope that my humble efforts will bring health to your lumbar discs!

Thank you all!

Thanks for the invite.

Just posted an answer to the question, Why are college students prone to herniated discs? The content is basically the same as this question. Posting it here, hope it's useful.

It's been a while since I've had several inquiries from college students in their 20's about a herniated disc. Indeed spinal problems are getting younger and younger these days. So what causes it? I think there should be mainly the following reasons.

With the improvement of living standards, children's puberty in advance, the average height increases, the disc development is also very fast, but nowadays the children are generally insufficient exercise, the disc ligament toughness is insufficient. The lumbar muscle strength is also obviously insufficient, in the sudden external force is prone to disc herniation.

The sofa at home are relatively soft, the child lying inside, generally nestled waist, not only children, now adults, but also often this sitting position, in fact, this sitting position on the human spine is quite bad. Long-term cumulative damage will cause changes in the curvature of the spine, including the symptoms of lumbar disc herniation.

Now middle school college students. Playing cell phones, computer games more time. The usual sitting posture is also relatively poor. Prolonged poor sitting posture, resulting in lumbar muscles, soft tissue and disc damage. These factors can lead to the symptoms of cervical spondylosis or lumbar disc herniation. It should be said that this is the main factor that causes lumbar disc herniation and cervical spondylosis in people around 20 years old nowadays.

Nowadays, people's living time is greatly extended backward. Generally speaking, sleep is relatively late, most of the sleep is insufficient, so that the body's own state is not as good as the previous people. Love to eat cold drinks, wearing thin clothes in winter. There are many people with cold and wet body. So people nowadays are generally not in good health. Sub-healthy state also prevails. In addition to labor injuries, due to the lack of positive energy, stagnation of qi and blood stagnation, the body is cold and damp. It promotes the degree of lumbar disc degeneration. So the factors that cause this situation are both external forces and one's own physical condition. With lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, early treatment and early recovery. Active treatment and careful care recovery is not a problem. Serious attention can be paid to the private letter.
