Many people believe that walking relies on both legs, and this understanding is not wrong; But in fact, the legs are just the "expression tool" for human walking, and the true engine of walking is the spine, so spinal problems can also cause gait abnormalities.
Traction therapy can bring
Is the protruding intervertebral disc pushed back?
Dr. Cao pointed out that this question should actually be interpreted as, "Is traction therapy useful for intervertebral disc herniation? The answer is very definite: it is absolutely useful and a relatively safe, reliable, and effective method.
But can the protruding intervertebral disc be pushed back? But to make a question mark; Firstly, the mechanism of traction is very simple, that is, between the vertebral bodies, if the pressure is high, the jelly like substance (i.e. intervertebral disc) in the middle is squeezed out.
Due to the heavy weight of the human head, which is generally over 10 pounds, this weight is placed on the relatively fragile 7 bones (i.e. the cervical spine) and is very prone to injury. If this force is slightly reduced, it will make the intervertebral disc feel very comfortable, without any compression, and the stimulation to the nerves will also be relieved; But the disadvantage of doing so is that once you leave the traction environment without external assistance, the load will be unloaded and it will instantly return to its original state.
Dr. Cao believes that traction is effective in treating certain types of intervertebral disc herniation, but it must be carried out under the supervision of professional hospitals and professionals.
Does low back pain necessarily mean intervertebral disc herniation?
Dr. Cao explained that there are hundreds of reasons behind low back pain, and intervertebral disc herniation is only one factor in 1%. Disc herniation can cause low back pain, but the opposite may not necessarily be true.
Therefore, low back pain is a very complicated problem. It ranks second in all hospitals in terms of incidence rate, second only to colds. It is extremely common.
Take daily precautions to protect intervertebral discs
It seems particularly important!
Is the lumbar and back muscles the best "protective umbrella" for the spine?
Dr. Cao suggested that currently, muscles are the best way for the human body to resist spinal degeneration and prevent intervertebral disc herniation, and there is no one.
Small Tips for Cervical Self Test
10 second grip experiment
Grasp with both hands as fast as possible for 10 seconds.
If both hands feel stiff or noticeably different, slow, numb, painful, or inflexible, there may be some degree of cervical spine problem. It is recommended to have a specialized hospital for examination.
Patients with typical cervical spondylotic myelopathy may experience hand dysfunction, some may not be able to fasten buttons flexibly, or may fall off chopsticks. The above methods can be used to measure cervical vertebrae.
Small Tips for Lumbar Self Test
Straight leg lift test
Note: One person cannot complete it and requires assistance.
Patients with severe lumbar disc herniation may experience pain in the back of their thighs and waist like a thread when they are lifted to 30 degrees. If this phenomenon occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
