Sudden pain in the lower back! A chiropractor teaches you the correct way to deal with a slipped disc
"The moment I get up in the morning," "When I lift my luggage," "When I sneeze" --
Suddenly, a sharp pain ran through my lower back.
The "sudden back pain" that many people experience is actually not something that happens suddenly.
This is the result of the gradual accumulation of strain on the body due to daily fatigue, poor posture, and reduced blood flow due to the cold.
At the Re･Set chiropractic salon, we provide chiropractic treatments tailored to your physical condition, from acute care to preventing recurrence.
This time, a chiropractor will explain the correct way to deal with a slipped disc and the support that chiropractic can provide.
[Cause: A slipped disc is a "result"]
Lumbago (acute lower back pain) is a condition in which the muscles, fascia, and ligaments around the lower back become temporarily damaged or inflamed.
In many cases, the condition is caused by a combination of the following factors:
-
Maintaining the same posture for long periods of time (desk work, standing work)
-
Decreased blood flow due to lack of sleep or cold
-
Muscle fatigue and decreased flexibility
-
Pelvic distortion and imbalance of the trunk
In particular, when the deep muscles that support the pelvis, such as the iliopsoas and multifidus, become stiff, excessive force is applied to the immobile lower back, making it more likely to cause a cramp.
[Things you should not do]
If you experience pain immediately, it may be due to inflammation.
Please be careful of the following actions as they may worsen the condition.
-
Warm up in a hot bath
-
Press with a strong massage
-
Stretching unnecessarily
-
Endure the pain and move
The first rule is to cool the area, rest it, and not move it too much .
[Care that can be done through chiropractic]
Acute phase (1-3 days)
During this time, reducing inflammation is the top priority.
In chiropractic treatment, we gently adjust the tilt of the pelvis and the movement of the hip joints without directly stimulating the lower back, thereby balancing the entire body.
Simply adjusting your breathing can help relieve muscle tension.
Recovery period (3-10 days)
Once the pain subsides, we will work to restore the coordination of the muscles that support your lower back .
It loosens the psoas muscles, buttocks, back of the thighs, and back in unison, promoting blood flow.
As your range of motion increases, you will get closer to being able to move without pain.
🔹Relapse prevention period (after 10 days)
Finally, the key is to review your posture and lifestyle habits .
At Re･Set, we analyze each customer's habits and provide advice on stretching and how to use their body.
In particular, correcting postural habits such as hunched backs, arched lower backs, and leaning on one leg can help prevent recurrence.
[Self-care tips]
-
When sitting, rest your hips firmly against the backrest
-
Warm your abdomen and lower back to avoid getting cold
-
Gently move your "buttocks" and "back of the thighs" within a comfortable range.
-
Creating a mattress environment that makes it easy to turn over
【summary】
When it comes to a slipped disc, it is more important to "correct" it than to "cure" it.
Even after the pain has subsided, keeping your pelvis and muscles balanced will help prevent recurrence and allow you to feel lighter.
