1. What are the causes of lumbar muscle strain

  Lumbar muscle strain is a common and frequently occurring clinical disease, belonging to the category of lumbar pain and arthralgia in traditional Chinese medicine. It is mainly manifested by long-term and recurrent lumbar pain. It mainly refers to the chronic injury of muscles, ligaments, or fascia in the lumbar and sacral regions, including gluteal fasciitis, lumbar 3 transverse process syndrome, interspinous ligament injury, and accumulative lumbar muscle strain with widespread lumbar pain but basically normal activity. It is also known as 'functional lumbar pain' or 'lumbosacral myofascitis'. This disease has a wide range of affected populations, and it is not easy to recover once it is contracted. It often requires long-term careful treatment to achieve satisfactory results. The following introduces the causes of lumbar muscle strain:

  1. Prolonged and repeated lumbar muscle strain.

  2. Untimely treatment and improper treatment after an acute lumbar sprain.

  3. Prolonged and repeated excessive lumbar movement and overloading, such as long-term sitting, standing for a long time, or carrying heavy objects from a bent position to an upright position, can keep the lumbar muscles in a high tension state for a long time, which can eventually lead to chronic lumbar muscle strain.

  4. There is a certain relationship between chronic lumbar muscle strain and climatic and environmental conditions. Low temperatures or excessive humidity can trigger or exacerbate lumbar muscle strain.

2. What complications are easy to cause by lumbar muscle strain

  If the patient with lumbar muscle strain delays treatment, the recurrence of lumbar muscle strain or lumbar fasciitis, it is easy to accelerate the degeneration speed of the lumbar spine. It may easily cause severe lumbar disc herniation or lumbar stenosis.

3. What are the typical symptoms of lumbar muscle strain

  Low back muscle strain is a common lumbar disease in daily life. Suffering from this disease can bring certain inconvenience to the daily activities of patients. The main symptoms of lumbar muscle strain are chronic pain, and there are usually no obvious triggering factors. When the pain occurs, patients often feel the waist is both sour and bloated, and after a moment of rest, it can be relieved. If you lie in bed for too long, you will feel uncomfortable, and after a little activity, it will improve, but if you are active for too long, the pain will worsen. So, what are the symptoms of lumbar muscle strain? The following introduces the typical symptoms of lumbar muscle strain:

  1. The waist is weak, and there is a 'twisting pain' with slight carelessness, and the symptoms become worse with the movement disorder of the waist. Clinical examination shows that the lumbar muscles are soft and weak, without obvious tenderness and a series of symptoms of lumbar muscle strain.

  2. Unable to persist in bending over work. Often forced to stretch or strike the waist with a fist to relieve pain.

  3. There is a fixed tender point at the site of pain, which is often located near the origin and insertion points of the muscles. When tapping the tender point, the patient can feel a significant reduction in the degree of pain.

  4. The movement of the waist is basically normal, there is generally no obvious obstruction, but sometimes patients with lumbar muscle strain may have a feeling of pulling and discomfort. It is not suitable to sit or stand for a long time, and it is not suitable for bending over work. After bending over for a while, it is difficult to straighten up, and it is often preferred to use both hands to knock on the back and waist to relieve pain.

  5. There are few abnormalities in the shape and movement of the waist, and there is no obvious lumbar muscle spasm. A few patients have slight restriction of waist movement.

  6. Long-term recurrence of lumbar and back soreness and discomfort, or呈dull, painful swelling, the lumbar area is heavy and tight, like carrying a heavy load, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, persistent and not healing.

  In daily life, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, do not maintain a fixed posture for a long time, and adjust and change the posture appropriately. At the same time, avoid taking things directly with a bent waist to cause damage to the lumbar muscles. For patients with severe symptoms, a lumbar belt can be used during work to protect the lumbar muscles, but remember to remove it when resting to prevent muscle atrophy due to lack of activity. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to strengthening the exercise of lumbar muscle strength, so that the muscles that have not been damaged can better play a compensatory regulatory role.

4. How to prevent lumbar muscle strain?

  Nowadays, lumbar muscle strain is a common occupational disease, especially for those who engage in physical labor for a long time, which is more common. In daily life, how should we prevent lumbar muscle strain? The following will introduce the measures for preventing lumbar muscle strain.

It is mainly to alleviate the clinical symptoms of the patient, rather than a radical method. Surgical treatment, due to the very strict indications, the population suitable for surgery in clinical practice is less than 5%, plus the high cost, large trauma, long recovery period, and easy recurrence, so it is impossible to fully promote this method of treating lumbar muscle strain.

  Firstly, Lumbar Muscle Strain Tendon Settling Technique

  The patient lies prone, the practitioner uses the palm to knead the bilateral sacrospinal muscles, then find the tender points or painful nodules, and carry out point pressing, tapping, and grasping from top to bottom, then apply the rolling technique, paying attention not to be too heavy. You can also add the lateral flexion method, let the patient lie on the side, the affected side up, the practitioner stands behind the patient, one hand pressing on the painful part of the waist, and the other hand holding the ankle of the affected side and pulling it backward, so that the hip joint extends, then flexes the hip and knee, so that the thigh touches the abdomen, then pull the lower limb straight, repeat 3 times. This is one of the treatment methods for lumbar muscle strain.

  Secondly, Acupuncture Therapy for Lumbar Muscle Strain

  1. Acupuncture at Ashi point, Shenshu, Zhishi, Qihaiyu, Mingmen, Yaoyangguan, Cizhong, etc., after acupuncture, a cupping glass can be added to the lumbar acupoints to disperse blood stasis, warm the meridians, and relieve pain. Once every other day, 10 times as one course.
