What is lumbar spondylitis

The era we live in is the best of times and the worst of times. This is a good era because it provides many opportunities and career options. This is a bad era because while it gives us opportunities, it also tells us that we must work hard with our lives to achieve something. Many people are like this, they work hard and end up with a lot of diseases, such as lumbar spondylitis.

Vertebral endplate osteochondritis, abbreviated as spondyloendplate inflammation. It is mostly caused by intervertebral disc degeneration. There are many reasons for vertebral endplate inflammation, such as age, old trauma, aseptic inflammation, long-term use of hormones, etc. Laminectomy is a sterile inflammation.

Inflammation caused by external force injury, degenerative lesions, bone tuberculosis, clinical manifestations, low back pain

Local effusion can cause intervertebral disc inflammation, yellow ligament atrophy, surrounding tissue inflammation, etc.

The treatment mainly adopts targeted treatment, generally using conservative treatment methods such as acupuncture, massage, internal and external application of Chinese medicine, etc. It is recommended not to sit for too long, as sitting puts the greatest pressure on the spine, especially the lumbar spine, which will aggravate the condition. Exercises focus on lumbar muscle exercises (flying swallow, arch bridge, etc.) to stabilize the spine. You can exercise by swimming. Sleep on a hard bed and pay attention to rest. Basically, no special treatment is needed. When exercising, remember one principle: do not increase the pressure on the spine.

The abnormal MR signals of endplate inflammation are pathologically considered to be damage and remodeling of the endplate and the cancellous bone underneath, while type I signal changes are rupture of the endplate and the formation of vascular-rich fibrous tissue adjacent to the cancellous bone, which is a process of vascularization. The lesions may be significantly enhanced on enhanced scanning, and may also be enhanced if the intervertebral disc is involved. However, unlike compression fractures caused by osteoporosis, they are manifested as irregular vertebral edge contours, thickened endplates, and abnormal signals in the cancellous bone. This may be the result of more serious damage to the bone endplates and adjacent bones caused by long-term use of hormones.

Clinically, vertebral endplate inflammation is often overlooked. If cases similar to those in this group are encountered, they are easily misdiagnosed as metastatic tumors, infection or tuberculosis.

I believe that there is no white-collar worker who sits in front of a computer typing every day and works without suffering from lumbar disease; it is just a matter of severity. I think it is very stupid to sacrifice our own health for work. We all know that money is very important to us, but more important than money is health. Are you protecting your health?
