What to do if you have a dislocated lumbar spine

Dislocation is a problem that usually occurs at the connection point of the bones. Professionally speaking, joint dislocation is also called dislocation, which means that the upper and lower bone ends that make up the joint have lost their normal position and become dislocated. It is mostly caused by violent effects, with the shoulder, elbow, jaw and finger joints most likely to dislocate. Accidents are inevitable in life, so today I will tell you what we should do if the lumbar vertebra is dislocated, and what are some good recovery methods?

1. Precautions for lumbar dislocation

1. Things to note when dealing with lumbar dislocation are to pay attention to your daily life

Lumbar dislocation relies on four-tenths of treatment and six-tenths of nursing. In addition to cooperating with the doctor's treatment, patients must also pay attention to their daily life, such as getting up and moving around after sitting for a while, and taking regular walks and swimming. Usually, we mainly eat a light diet and avoid eating cold vegetables and spicy foods. Pay attention to the later joint physical therapy to recover and rest. Try to sleep on a hard bed.

2. The precautions for lumbar dislocation are to reduce activities

Cooperate with the doctor in repositioning treatment, strengthen care, and minimize activities. It will get better with treatment. Lumbar vertebrae dislocation can be treated through manipulation. Usually, you should rest mainly, sleep on a hard bed, avoid bending over or overexerting yourself, and allow the lumbar muscles some time to recover. Learning to protect yourself well, unless the situation is more serious, paying attention to your sitting posture and doing exercises that combine work and rest are the most important ways to protect yourself.

3. The precautions for lumbar dislocation are: Do not bend over

Usually, you can apply hot compresses and do acupuncture to relieve waist pain. In the later stage, you need to rely on personal care, avoid bending over and overwork, and do appropriate exercises to strengthen the waist and back muscles and enhance the stability of the spine. Do not move it randomly. Go to the hospital in time for an X-ray to see the extent of the dislocation. After symptomatic treatment, be sure to let a specialist doctor reposition it to avoid secondary injury. Recovery requires a process, so don't be in a hurry.

2. Causes of lumbar dislocation

1. Age: The ligaments that fix the lumbar joints of middle-aged and elderly people become increasingly aged and loose, like loose rubber bands, and cannot be fixed reliably, which of course affects the stability of the lumbar spine.

2. Chronic strain: Long-term excessive fatigue, especially for women who are busy with work and housework, puts a heavy burden on the lumbar spine and cannot get timely rest. The tension of the soft tissue that fixes the lumbar spine gradually decreases, which of course affects the stability of the lumbar spine.

3. Sitting on a low stool for a long time: Because you often do housework, such as picking vegetables, washing clothes, taking care of children, etc., sitting on a low stool for a long time will aggravate the tendency of lumbar dislocation.

4. Like to sleep on a soft bed: Most women prefer to sleep on a soft bed. Therefore, when she sleeps flat on her back, her lumbar spine is in a floating state and cannot obtain a reaction force equal to her body weight. During the rare time of bed rest, the lumbar spine cannot be firmly fixed.

5. Lack of health awareness: Usually, they have no awareness of spinal health, lack understanding of the posture to maintain a healthy spine, and do not participate in back muscle training exercises. As the old saying goes: Sit like a bell, stand like a pine. Lying flat is a sleeping position that protects the spine. As we age, the spine will gradually deform, contributing to lumbar dislocation.
