What to do with lumbar fractures? Treatment of lumbar fractures

The lumbar spine is a part that supports the human body to stand upright and bear weight. The lumbar spine is very important to people. Lumbar spine injury is extremely inconvenient for people's lives and often leaves some sequelae, such as feeling tired after a little activity and back pain, especially on rainy days. So what are the current treatments for lumbar fractures?

1: Compression fractures are mainly caused by the sudden excessive flexion of the spine due to the transmission of violence from the head and feet. Since the flexed part of the spine is injured, the external force is concentrated on the front of a vertebra, and at the same time it is squeezed by the upper and lower vertebrae, so the vertebra is compressed and wedge-shaped, and shifted backward, damaging the spinal cord or cauda equina. If it affects the lateral or anterior fasciculus of the corticospinal cord, spastic paralysis occurs. If it affects the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord or the cauda equina, flaccid paralysis occurs. The lower limbs lose all sensation.

1: Bed rest: A very simple but effective measure that can be adopted by patients with lumbar fractures. Bed rest is the basis of non-surgical treatment.

2: Western medicine: mainly through pain-relieving drugs, the symptoms are relieved. However, it only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. It can only relieve pain but not cure the pain. And long-term use of drugs is easy to cause dependence.

3: Plaster treatment: Plaster for low back pain is a conservative treatment in traditional Chinese medicine, represented by external use of traditional Chinese medicine, and is an effective method for treating lumbar fractures. Because it is safe, reliable, easy to use, and has a definite effect, it has become the best choice for most patients.

4: Acupuncture and massage treatment: Through traditional acupuncture to open up the patient's waist points, and then through massage, the blood deep inside the body can flow through the body surface to achieve smooth blood circulation, thereby relieving the discomfort symptoms such as low back pain, dizziness, etc. It can only be used as an effective relief method.

5: Western medicine surgical treatment: Through traditional surgery, the diseased lumbar spine tissue is removed as a means to achieve the purpose of treatment. However, due to the high risk of surgery, large trauma, difficulty in wound healing after surgery, and easy to cause sequelae, many patients will choose conservative treatment with traditional Chinese medicine.

The impact is very large, but once symptoms occur, corresponding examinations should be done in time to avoid delaying the disease and causing other complications in the body. Patients can choose Chinese medicine when choosing traditional treatment methods in their daily lives. If symptoms of dizziness and vertigo occur, this means that the qi and blood are gradually becoming smooth.
