Extended data

Lumbosacral strain in the process of treatment and later rehabilitation, we should do less high-intensity physical activities using lumbar strength, or even brake for a part of time, with the aim of relieving pain, eliminating lumbar muscle fatigue, fixing the lumbar spine as much as possible and avoiding lumbar hyperosteogeny. However, this method is easy to cause functional loss, waist muscle atrophy and other diseases. It is generally advocated that treatment should be carried out at the same time as functional exercise to avoid postoperative complications, and with correct functional activities, the absorption of stagnant water can be accelerated. Health care after rehabilitation is very important.

In the acute stage, you should stay in bed for 1 ~ 3 weeks, and generally use a hard bed to lie on your back with your knees slightly flexed to increase the lumbosacral angle, relieve pain and reduce tissue edema.

At the same time, local sealing, physical therapy, massage and functional exercise are all feasible. People with severe pain can take antispasmodic and analgesic drugs, such as fenbid, indomethacin, voltarin, etc. Chronic strain is difficult to deal with and the effect is poor. In addition to physical therapy, massage and local closure, you can also use a wide lumbosacral belt or waist circumference to protect the lumbosacral part and support the lumbar muscles.
