In life, each of us will have poor posture and habits, but who really cares about these things? As long as we feel comfortable ourselves, that's all that matters, right? However, from the perspective of modern medicine, such comfort may also lead to greater disasters. Experts from Changgeng Hospital remind everyone: Poor living postures can cause compression of the lumbar disc, leading to a herniated lumbar disc. Let’s take a look at the causes of herniated lumbar discs:
Firstly, in daily life and work, some people often experience long-term improper use of waist strength, excessive force, or incorrect posture. For example, coal miners and construction workers who are engaged in bending work for a long time need to frequently bend over and lift heavy objects. These repeated external forces accumulate over time and act on the intervertebral disc, exacerbating the degree of degeneration.
Poor body posture-induced lumbar injury is the main cause of lumbar disc degeneration and also an inducement of lumbar disc herniation. Long-term forward-leaning sitting posture, repeated bending over, bowing while squatting to lift heavy objects, and twisting movements easily lead to lumbar disc herniation. Therefore, this disease is related to one's occupation. Drivers, accountants, and computer operators are prone to this condition.
Secondly, the fundamental cause of lumbar disc herniation is the degenerative changes in the lumbar disc. Degenerative change is the objective law of all living beings' birth, growth, decline, and death. Due to the special physiological function borne by the lumbar vertebrae, the degenerative change of the lumbar disc occurs earlier than other tissues and organs, and its progression is relatively faster. This process is a long-term and complex one. So-called lumbar disc degenerative changes refer to the fact that due to the compression of the intervertebral disc by body weight, plus the frequent flexion and extension activities of the waist, it is easy to cause compression and wear of the intervertebral disc, especially the lower lumbar intervertebral disc, thus producing degenerative changes. Lumbar disc degeneration is the basis for the occurrence of this disease.
