Do you just need to rest after lumbar muscle strain? Correct recovery will tell you!

Lumbar muscle strain is a disease that is mostly caused by accumulated damage to the soft tissues of the waist muscles, fascia, ligaments, etc.; there is also a type of aseptic inflammation caused by acute lumbar sprain that is not treated promptly and effectively and turns into a chronic disease. The main cause of lumbar muscle strain is the lack of exercise of the waist muscles for a long time. The high tension and tightness lead to excessive muscle pressure, which in turn causes damage to the soft tissues such as muscles, fascia, ligaments, etc. due to some acute exercises with excessive weight, such as long-term sitting, long-term standing, improper lifting of heavy objects, long-term waist weight-bearing exercises, etc. In addition, obesity is also one of the causes of lumbar muscle strain.

When you are diagnosed with lumbar muscle strain, don't panic or be anxious. This is a sports injury that needs to be recovered slowly. It requires the patient to change his bad living and working habits, avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time, stand up appropriately to relax and stretch the waist muscles, so that the erector spinae muscles are no longer over-strained for a long time; secondly, use the correct posture to carry heavy objects, lose weight, etc., which are all helpful for the prevention and treatment of lumbar muscle strain. Of course, patients with general physical condition need a period of rest to relieve pain and let the body recover naturally. Using a small pillow on the waist when sleeping can also relieve symptoms; when standing, put your hands on your waist, which can make the waist feel comfortable and relieve pain. Wear a waist protector when necessary.

However, what we want to remind all patients here is that the fundamental recovery of lumbar muscle strain requires professional rehabilitation functional training. Many patients just think that they can recover slowly if they just rest, but when the muscles are injured, targeted rehabilitation training is the key to ensure that there is no recurrence. Under the guidance of a doctor or a Yunda rehabilitation therapist, strengthening the functional training of the lumbar and back muscles is the best way to cure lumbar muscle strain!
