What to do if your toes are numb

There are many reasons for numbness in the toes. If you do not exercise enough and sit for a long time, it may cause numbness in the toes. At this time, you should exercise more and massage your legs and feet regularly. This will help promote blood circulation and avoid numbness in the toes. Of course, if it is caused by a disease, it should be treated in time. The most common cause is lumbar disc herniation, which causes numbness in the toes due to nerve compression.

What to do if your toes are numb

1. Correct walking posture:

When walking, keep your upper body straight, look forward, maintain body balance, and move your center of gravity up and down or left and right no more than 2.5 cm. 2. Proper bed:

The bed suitable for patients with lumbar spondylosis is a flat bed or a flat bed with a hard cushion on it, which can ensure the physiological lordosis of the lumbar spine when lying on your back and prevent scoliosis when lying on your side. 3. Good working methods:

Bend your knees, flex your muscles, and straighten your back to lift heavy objects: Using this posture to lift heavy objects does not require you to stretch your waist with great force. You only need to hold the heavy object with both hands, stretch your hips and knees, and the heavy object can be lifted, because the gluteus maximus and quadriceps femoris that stretch these two joints are powerful, have long muscle fibers, and have great working efficiency. Shoulder and overhead heavy loads

The top of the head shortens the lever arm, makes the force vertical, and the weight acts directly on the spine, which is conducive to the transfer of gravity to the ground. Correct standing position: When working, a better position for those who often stand is to slightly bend the knees, gently contract the gluteus maximus, and naturally contract the abdominal muscles. This can prevent or reduce damage to the lumbar intervertebral disc. 4. Sitting posture and seat:

People who sit for long periods of time should maintain or try not to reduce the lumbar lordosis sitting posture, so it is more appropriate to use a chair with a backrest. The backrest of the work chair should be tilted back 100°, and the chair height should be such that the knee joint can be flexed 90°-100° and the feet can be placed flat on the ground.

Conservative treatment 1. Young patients, first attack or short course of disease. 2. Symptoms can be relieved on their own after rest. 3. No spinal stenosis found in X-ray examination. Specific methods include absolute bed rest, continuous traction, physical therapy, manipulation, massage, oral anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, etc. However, such therapies cannot completely cure lumbar herniation, but can only alleviate the condition! If the disease recurs, effective measures should be taken in time for treatment! Many patients will blindly demand surgical treatment, and psychologically over-exaggerate the effectiveness of surgery, believing that surgery is definitely better than conservative treatment and that there is no need to endure the long and monotonous process of conservative and rehabilitation treatment for lumbar disc herniation. Little do people know that open surgical treatment is not suitable for all patients with lumbar spondylosis! How to treat lumbar spondylosis? Surgical treatment of lumbar spondylosis takes a long time, has slow recovery, and is prone to complications and sequelae. In addition, a large amount of hormone drugs need to be injected during the treatment process, which is very harmful to the body!
