What to do if young people have back pain

In recent years, some young people have experienced low back pain, which has brought great trouble to their lives. The main reason for low back pain in young people is that they do not pay attention to their health, and kidney deficiency leads to low back pain or they catch a cold. They usually exert excessive force on the waist, causing injuries to the waist, etc., which may cause this symptom. After the occurrence of low back pain, you must maintain good living habits, avoid catching a cold, pay attention to good standing or sitting posture, etc.

What to do if young people have back pain

1. Maintain good living habits to prevent your waist and legs from getting cold and to prevent overwork. 2. Stand or sit in the correct posture. An abnormal spinal column can cause uneven stress on the intervertebral discs, which is a hidden cause of intervertebral disc herniation. The correct posture should be "stand like a pine tree, sit like a bell", with the chest lifted and the waist straight. The same posture should not be maintained for too long. Appropriate in-place activities or waist and back exercises can relieve fatigue in the waist and back muscles. 3. Do not stretch your legs or bend your waist too much when exercising, otherwise it will not only fail to achieve the desired purpose, but also cause a herniated disc. 4. Do not bend over when lifting heavy objects. You should squat down first to pick up the heavy object, then stand up slowly, trying not to bend over. From a biomechanical point of view, the L4-L5 and L5-S1 intervertebral discs are subject to the greatest pressure and have the greatest range of motion, while the posterior longitudinal ligament located in these two segments is relatively narrow (only 1/2 of the width of the upper part). Therefore, the L4-L5 and L5-S1 intervertebral discs are the most vulnerable parts, and clinically, L4-L5 and L5-S1 intervertebral disc herniations are the most common.

5. Eat a balanced diet with high protein and vitamin content and low fat and cholesterol, prevent obesity, quit smoking and control alcohol consumption. 6. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest at work, maintain correct posture, avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time, and do warm-up exercises before strenuous physical activity. 7. When resting in bed, it is advisable to choose a hard bed to maintain the physiological curvature of the spine. 8. Avoid cold and keep warm. 9. Lumbar disc herniation is a disease of the musculoskeletal system. The prevention principle requires reducing exercise and relaxing and resting. 10. You should strengthen your back and waist muscle exercises to strengthen your lumbar spine.

Is back pain caused by kidney deficiency?

Low back pain is not necessarily caused by kidney deficiency. Low back pain caused by kidney deficiency will be accompanied by symptoms of kidney deficiency. If you are not accompanied by symptoms of kidney deficiency, low back pain will not be caused by kidney deficiency. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is caused by poor circulation of qi and blood and obstruction of meridians due to qi deficiency.

According to the basic principles of traditional Chinese medicine: Qi has five physiological functions: 1: promoting effect; 2: warming effect; 3: defensive effect; 4: consolidating effect; 5: qi transformation effect. When the driving effect of Qi deficiency is reduced, it causes poor blood circulation and meridian stagnation, and the waist and body cannot be nourished well, which will cause low back pain and general weakness. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that: pain means blockage, and no pain if there is blockage. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine: no symptoms of kidney deficiency are caused by poor blood circulation and meridian stagnation. To treat low back pain and general weakness, you need to nourish Qi and blood, dredge the circulation of Qi and blood and the meridians, promote normal blood circulation, and this will solve the problem.
