What to do if you have a sprained lumbar tendon? The correct way to care for a sprained lumbar tendon

As the saying goes: Nine out of ten injuries are to the waist. This shows that although the waist looks strong, it is actually very easy to be injured. For example, if people do not pay attention to their posture when lifting heavy objects, they are likely to suffer from symptoms of lumbar sprain. Lumbar sprain can have a great impact on people's daily lives. So how should you take care of a sprained waist?

1: Lie quietly on a hard bed, use pillows (or sandbags) on both sides of your waist to block it and keep it still. Hugging your knees with your hands can relieve pain.

1: Use "kneading and pressing" to relax the lumbar muscles, twice a day, each time for 20-30 minutes.

1: Bend forward at the waist and rub your waist with the palms of both hands to generate a sense of heat, for about 2 minutes.

1: Guide or acupuncture the painful points of waist at the extra meridian points. On the back of the hand, between the second, third and fifth metacarpal bones, at the midpoint between the transverse wrist crease and the metacarpophalangeal joint. Two points on one side. Guide or retain the needle for 20 minutes, three times a day, and at the same time let the patient flex and extend more than 10 times, which will have a significant analgesic effect.

1: The patient and his family stand back to back, bend their elbows and hold them together. Then the family member lowers his head and bends over, picks up the patient, and gently shakes him left and right, while letting him kick his feet upwards. Put him down after a while and rest for a few minutes before doing it again. Generally, after reciting it a few times, the back pain will gradually improve.

1: Ask the patient to squat and stretch his arms upward with his palms facing each other. Another person squats down and uses the thumb and middle finger of his right hand to press and pinch the two points on the left and right sides of the patient's waist where it hurts the most, making the patient feel painful but comfortable. Then the two of them slowly stood up at the same time, stood still for a while, and then slowly squatted down. The effect will be better if you can sweat during the process.

1: Cover your waist with a thin cloth, apply a wrung-out hot towel to the affected area, and then cover it with another soaked hot towel to keep it warm. Change it every 3 minutes and continue the hot compress for 20-30 minutes each time. You can also put the hot salt or sand in a cloth bag for hot compress, but pay attention to the temperature that you can tolerate.

1: When the pain is greatly reduced, quickly perform lumbar muscle exercises to prevent muscle and ligament adhesion and the condition from turning from acute to chronic. You should strengthen your waist exercises on a daily basis to enhance muscle strength and prevent recurrence. When grabbing heavy objects, first stretch your limbs and then bend and stretch your waist. Wait until your posture is stable before lifting the object.

The branches are like willows. When exercising or carrying heavy objects, if your posture is not correct and you are careless, you may accidentally get hit by an acute lumbar sprain! Therefore, in order to avoid the pain of a lumbar sprain, pay attention to the correct posture when carrying heavy objects.
