lumbar disc protrusion patients, in addition to acute episodes must be hospitalized, usually most of the home self-treatment, home treatment is mainly lying on a hard board bed rest and oral medication, in addition to pay attention to the selection of a suitable lumbar spine therapeutic instrument, lumbar spine therapeutic instrument, there are many types, there are the following kinds of:
1, Traction lumbar spine therapeutic instrument
Also known as lumbar traction, is the treatment of lumbar disc herniation commonly used instruments, the principle is that through the smaller traction strength, longer time and more frequent lumbar sustained traction, and then, in the patient standing up and walking, continue to support the positioning, so that the muscles on both sides of the spine to achieve the maximum relaxation of ligament lengthening under the action of the non-muscular tension, the lumbar disc decompression, while at the same time, the lumbar discs are not compressed. The lumbar intervertebral discs are released from compression, and at the same time, negative pressure attraction is produced, which is conducive to the nucleus pulposus retraction and the healing of the annulus fibrosus, thus relieving the cause of the disease and making it less likely to recur. Lumbar traction device according to the different structure of the force can be divided into four kinds:
(1) threaded rod traction therapy instrument: the force structure for the threaded design, this lumbar spine therapy instrument traction force is appropriate, the therapeutic effect is obvious, the force rising and decreasing the force down, the uniform speed without impact, high security, simple structure, durability, not easy to be damaged, the price is also cheap, but it is relatively rough.
(2) rack type traction therapy instrument: force structure for the rack design, and threaded rod type compared to the rack type force rising speed, easy to operate; this lumbar spine therapy instrument there is a shortcoming, that is, when the patient stands to use, decompression is not uniformly down, but suddenly unloading, lumbar spine in the upper body weight impact, there may be a secondary injury, middle-aged and elderly patients should be used with caution.
(3) Cylinder lumbar traction device: through the air pump pressurization drive cylinder rod rise, drive the tightening belt upward, to achieve the purpose of traction, the force up and down, uniform speed without impact; but it also exists on the left and right side of the cylinder synchronization is poor, easy to cause the spine on both sides of the force is not equal to the defects, and the use of a long time easy to leakage, the life expectancy of the short-term, the inflatable devices to carry is also inconvenient.
(4) inflatable lumbar circumference: pressurized by the air pump to make the lumbar circumference gas column extension, to achieve the purpose of traction, lumbar circumference around the uniform force, health care lumbar protection and support role, plus the force up and down force reduction without impact; this lumbar spine traction device shortcomings are mainly inflatable column traction over the small, insufficient to open the lumbar vertebrae, the therapeutic effect is not obvious, in a strict sense, this type of instrument can not be considered traction! Strictly speaking, this kind of instrument can not be regarded as traction therapy instrument, should belong to the inflatable lumbar products.
2, vibration massage therapy class lumbar spine therapeutic instrument
Vibration massage therapy instrument is based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine massage Gua Sha theory and the development of lumbar spine therapeutic instrument, traditional Chinese medicine believes that massage can dredge the meridians and channels to promote the operation of qi and blood, adjusting the internal organs, patients with lumbar disc protrusion has a health care effect. This lumbar spine treatment instrument with a particularly comfortable, not when the symptoms reappeared, the condition repeatedly, the treatment effect is not obvious. This is because the massage massage scraping is only a health care method, need to cooperate with other treatment methods to be effective, the effect of using alone is not good.
3, spinal correction and rehabilitation class lumbar spine therapeutic instrument
Spinal correction and rehabilitation class equipment is the principle of action: the patient lying on his back, through the top of the lumbar vertebrae, to restore the lumbar vertebrae physiological curve of the purpose. This kind of equipment belongs to the rehabilitation exercise products, applicable to the lumbar spine physiological curve of the missing patients. For the lumbar spine physiological curve of the existence of lumbar disc herniation, need to cooperate with other treatment methods to be effective, the effect of using alone is not good.
Additionally, patients who herniate into the spinal canal should be cautious of using this type of instrumentation, because when the lumbar spine is forced to bend, the intervertebral disc gap on the side of the spinous process (near the side of the instrumentation) will become narrower and the pressure will increase, and the inwardly protruding nucleus pulposus will be extruded by the pressure and aggravated, resulting in the aggravation of symptoms, and the condition will deteriorate when used inappropriately. It is recommended that you consult your doctor before using this type of equipment.
Two, lumbar spine treatment instrument which is good
There are many types of lumbar spine treatment instrument, in the choice of many friends do not know how to choose, in the end, which is good, in fact, each kind of lumbar spine treatment instrument has its own advantages and disadvantages and scope of application, we are in the choice of the time, the main thing is to choose the appropriate type of lumbar spine treatment instrument according to their own lumbar spine disease condition and treatment needs, the condition of the stage is different, each person's physical condition is also different. Different stages of the disease, each person's physical condition is also different, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for lumbar spine ct or nuclear magnetic **** vibration of the examination, to determine the cause of lumbar spine disease, and then under the guidance of the doctor to choose the right instrument for themselves, and pay attention to the choice of high security products.
