Lumbar process is lumbar disc herniation. When the early nerve compression is mild, doctors often suggest conservative electrothermal treatment. So is baking electricity really effective? There are many "baking lamps" on the market. What electricity is good for baking? How long is the baking time and the appropriate distance? "Roasting electricity" is a simple word, but it says a lot.
What is baking electricity for? First of all, you need to know why you have low back pain when you have a lumbar process.
Intervertebral disc is one of the largest blood-free organs in human body. There are a lot of nerve endings behind the intervertebral disc, which can transmit pain signals. When the intervertebral disc tissue degenerates, it will cause the annulus fibrosus to tear and relax, destroy the stability of the intervertebral disc and cause some "abnormal activities" in the intervertebral disc. These "abnormal activities" will produce mechanical stimulation to the nociceptive nerve endings around the fibrous ring, causing pain. In addition, a large number of inflammatory cytokines can be released during the degeneration of intervertebral disc tissue, which will cause chemical stimulation to nerve endings and cause pain.
Therefore, in the process of intervertebral disc degeneration, painful nerve endings are mechanically and chemically stimulated by degenerative tissue of lumbar intervertebral disc, which is the basis of pain caused by intervertebral disc degeneration.
Lumbar electrotherapy can promote local blood circulation, eliminate nerve root edema and relieve lumbar muscle spasm. Although it can't improve mechanical stimulation, it can indeed reduce chemical stimulation.
Therefore, for the early lumbar process, chemical stimulation is the main method, and baking electricity can often receive good curative effect. However, when the lumbar process is aggravated and mechanical stimulation such as instability occurs, the baking effect is not ideal.
There are many "baking lamps" on the market. What electricity is good for baking? Orthopedic baking lamp usually refers to infrared baking lamp, specifically TDP infrared baking lamp;
The so-called "orthopedic magic lamp".
This "magic lamp" is not Aladdin's magic lamp in Arabian Nights, but it does have a good effect on many superficial chronic bone and soft tissue diseases, such as scapulohumeral periarthritis, neck and shoulder myofascitis, cervical spondylosis, lumbar muscle strain, lumbar sprain, knee arthritis and so on.
I'm not selling baking lamps here. As a doctor, I can only say that this TDP infrared baking lamp has a good effect, and the price is not expensive compared with the hospital equipment, which is more suitable for home use.
How long is the baking time and the appropriate distance? When using this kind of baking lamp, the longer the time, the better, and the shorter the distance.
Lumbar disc herniation is called lumbar disc herniation if it has symptoms. If there are no symptoms, there is no need for treatment. The effect of baking electricity on lumbar disc herniation is not a targeted treatment. As for the baking time, it is generally not recommended to exceed 30 minutes, otherwise it will easily turn the skin into flowers.
When it comes to baking electricity, it may be associated with baking lamp, magic lamp and hot compress to improve local blood circulation through temperature and achieve the purpose of relieving pain. But this is not suitable for lumbar disc herniation, but for lumbar muscle strain, and the strained muscles and fascia will temporarily improve when the temperature rises.
Clinically, most people with long-term low back and leg pain will be accompanied by muscle strain. After all, muscles may be bad long before lumbar disc herniation occurs, and lumbar disc herniation is more likely to occur without muscle protection. Prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc for a long time, long-term low back pain, easy to strain the lumbar muscles, which is a barrier that most people can't get around.
It may not work. Many people will feel relaxed after hot compress. This is due to the short-term effect of local temperature rise. You will find that it will be no different after a while, especially the deep strain. The heating effect will be unsatisfactory or difficult to last. If it is a typical lumbar disc herniation, the effect may not be ideal.
In fact, the theoretical direction is very important for the recovery of lumbar disc herniation, and it is very important to change the position relationship between the protrusion and the nerve root. Minimally invasive surgery and surgery are based on this. But conservatism can also achieve good results. If you can choose a plan that is harmless to your health, try not to have surgery.
Manual reduction can find the radiation pain point (about 2 cm next to spinous process) by pressing the lower waist under a pulling force, and press it with a force that makes the pain feel comfortable. In this way, if you persist in doing it every day, the radiation pain will be gradually relieved, and finally, as the symptoms disappear, the problem can be solved.
Baked electricity is a kind of high-frequency current that heats the body locally to achieve therapeutic effect. Baked electricity has no side effects on the body. But after a long time, it will cause burns to the body. It is generally recommended that each time 15 minutes to about 20 minutes. Don't look directly at the baking electricity, so as not to stimulate it.
Lumbar disc herniation can be relieved by TDP infrared baking lamp, but this test can only release the muscles around the spine. Let the intervertebral disc protruding to compress the nerve relax to a certain extent, but this can not bring about the overall healing. Only relief.
In the case of disc herniation, infrared lamp or moxibustion hyperthermia is a routine treatment. Its function is to release local soft tissue through infrared hyperthermia, improve blood circulation, promote inflammation absorption, reduce joint pressure, and thus relieve symptoms. It is generally recommended to do it once or twice a day for about 20 to 30 minutes each time. Don't use it for too long to avoid inflammation and edema caused by subcutaneous capillary rupture. However, this treatment only plays the role of loosening soft tissues, and it is best to cooperate with manual traction to reduce joint pressure and promote intervertebral disc absorption, thus improving nerve compression.
Yoga is the most effective method.
It has a certain effect, baking electric energy can effectively promote local blood circulation and reduce the pressure in the spinal canal, generally for 20 to 30 minutes each time.
Baking electricity is a kind of high-frequency current, which heats the patient's body to achieve a certain therapeutic purpose. Generally speaking, baking electricity has no side effects on human body, but it may burn your skin for a long time, and it may cause certain irritation to your eyes when facing baking electricity. It is recommended to avoid standing for a long time, and don't bend over and exert yourself. Eat more fresh vegetables, fruits and foods high in calcium.
Generally, physical therapy and electric heating of the waist should be done twice a day for about 20 minutes each time.
Hyperthermia is helpful for disc herniation! But no amount of baking will help, let alone treatment! Not a course of treatment!
But sometimes I can't even keep up with the change of my condition! It will be delayed!
Because baking electricity will not have any effect on the intervertebral disc!
