How to recover faster after a lumbar fracture

Patients with fractures should remember not to be too anxious or agitated during the recovery process. Fracture recovery is a gradual process and fracture patients need to recover slowly. So if patients with lumbar fractures want to recover faster after the fracture, how can they recover faster? First of all, you need to keep a calm mind, and you can also refer to the following measures.

1. What are the nursing measures for lumbar fracture?

For patients with lumbar fractures, because the condition is serious, they should be explained to them in a targeted manner before treatment, and their thoughts and emotions should be understood in a timely manner. Through conversations and chatting, the patients can be guided in their thoughts, so that they can actively accept treatment and believe that they will recover soon.

For paralyzed patients, because their condition is serious, medical staff or family members must pay attention to protecting their self-esteem at this time. They must face the reality and acknowledge their disability, but also build up confidence in overcoming the disease and believe that life is good.

At the same time, medical staff should also help patients identify the main factors that are not conducive to recovery, overcome the harmfulness of the disease to the patient's body as soon as possible, so that patients can consciously cooperate with the medical staff's treatment work. At the same time, family members should also provide relevant care so that the patient's condition can be effectively alleviated.

You can eat healthy food and light food in moderation. For patients with more serious lumbar fractures, they may suffer from paralysis and the situation should be explained to them at this time to build up their self-confidence, recognize their remaining limbs, and build up confidence in overcoming the disease. Family members should help patients take relevant nursing measures so that they can cooperate with the doctor's treatment.

2. How to do rehabilitation exercises for lumbar fractures?

Lumbar compression fracture is one of the most common spinal injuries in the elderly. Since most fractures are relatively stable, conservative treatment can be used. Rehabilitation exercises can be performed 1 to 2 days after injury. The specific method is: lie on your back, support your body with your head, elbows and feet, push your waist up, and stretch back as much as you can; the patient can also lie on your stomach, straighten and stretch your upper limbs, tilt your head and chest back, and straighten your abdomen, or straighten and stretch your lower limbs. Patients with good physical fitness can also stretch their upper and lower limbs backward at the same time, forming an arc.
