Lumbar disc herniation is a relatively common disease, and currently, many office workers have varying degrees of lumbar disc herniation. So, what is the main cause of this condition?
The causes of lumbar disc herniation are also related to one's occupation. People from all walks of life can suffer from this disease. Those who frequently engage in bending activities, drivers experiencing constant jolts in their waists and heavy workload on their right hand and foot are prone to lumbar disc damage. Generally speaking, people engaged in heavy physical labor are more likely to suffer from severe intervertebral disc degeneration. However, the incidence rate among mental laborers is not low either, which may be related to their long hours of sitting and relatively less physical activity.
Many young people develop the disease due to bad living and working habits. Poor sitting or standing posture, as well as prolonged bending or heavy physical labor, are all contributing factors. When the herniated disc compresses the nerves, symptoms such as numbness, swelling, weakness in the limbs, and pain occur. For patients with lumbar disc herniation, whether they can engage in sports depends on the severity of their condition.
Cold and damp conditions can cause small blood vessels to constrict and muscles to spasm, increasing the pressure on the intervertebral disc and possibly causing degenerated discs to rupture. External factors include excessive weight-bearing or sudden bending, side-bending, and rotation, leading to fiber ring rupture or lumbar injury. Improper daily life and work postures can also lead to lumbar disc herniation.
