Lumbar disc herniation is a relatively common disease, and currently many office workers suffer to varying degrees from lumbar disc herniation. So, what is the main cause of this condition?
The causes of lumbar disc herniation are related to one's occupation. People in all kinds of industries can be affected by this disease. Those who frequently engage in bending labor, or drivers who experience jolting in their lower back and heavy strain on their right hand and foot, are more likely to sustain damage to their lumbar discs. Generally, it is believed that those engaged in heavy physical labor may experience more severe degeneration of the intervertebral discs. However, the incidence rate among mental laborers is not very low either, which might be related to their long periods of sitting and relatively less physical activity.
Many young people develop the disease due to bad living habits and working habits. Poor sitting posture, 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 may occur. For patients with lumbar disc herniation, whether they can engage in sports depends on the severity of their condition.
Coldness and dampness can cause small blood vessels to contract and muscles to spasm, increasing the pressure on the intervertebral discs and possibly causing degenerated intervertebral discs to rupture. External factors include carrying excessive weight or sudden bending, side flexion, and rotation, which can lead to the rupture of the fibrous ring or external injuries to the waist. Improper daily life and work postures can also cause lumbar disc herniation.
