Diagnostic points of lumbar strain
Most patients have a history of lumbar overwork or different degrees of trauma.
Lumbar pain, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, recurrent, aggravated when tired, relieved after rest.
It is difficult to bend over to work, and the pain will be aggravated if you bend over for a long time. You often like to beat your waist with your hands to relieve the pain.
Check whether the waist shape is normal and whether the pitching activity is smooth. A few patients have mild limited lumbar motion and tenderness, and the tenderness is mostly in the sacrospinous muscle, which stops behind the sacrum, or at the posterior iliac crest and lumbar transverse process.
X-ray photos are mostly normal, and a few patients may have hyperosteogeny or spinal deformity.
Dialectical analysis of lumbar strain
Long-term incorrect posture or bending over to work, or continuous weight bearing on the waist, will cause chronic cumulative injury to the waist muscles.
After acute lumbar injury, improper treatment or delayed treatment can cause chronic lumbar injury for a long time.
There are congenital structural abnormalities in lumbosacral region, which make the starting and ending points of muscles abnormal or the activities in this area unbalanced, which is easy to cause chronic waist injury.
The waist is the house of the kidney. Due to kidney strain, or physical weakness, kidney qi weakness, kidney essence can not nourish bones and muscles, so the affected part is mostly blood stasis or blood stasis in meridians, blood is not glorious, tendons and veins are not comfortable, resulting in lumbar muscle pain. Kidney qi is weak, and pathogenic wind, cold and dampness are easy to take advantage of it. Over time, muscles become weak. If patients bend over to work, weak muscles are easily damaged, complicating strain and cold and dampness.
