Acute waist sprain, commonly known as flashing waist, is the acute tear laceration caused by the sudden pull of the waist muscles, fascia, ligaments, and other soft tissues such as external force, which often occurs when the heavy objects and waist muscles are contracted.Acute lumbar sprains can tear the adhesion points, osomas, fascia, and ligament of lumbosacral muscles.

The cause of acute lumbar sprain

There are two main reasons that cause damage to the waist soft tissue:

1. Limb sprain

Most of them are caused by walking, jumping, flashing body, and Running. Most of them are caused by muscle and ligaments, so the damage is lighter.

2. Bulberry and wounds

It is more serious damage, such as high force in the process of high climbing, tilted, and carrying heavy objects.Essence

Symptoms of acute lumbar sprain

After the patient was injured, the waist pain occurred, and there was a continuous drama. The next day, it was more serious due to local bleeding, swelling, and low back pain. Some of them only twisted the waist slightly.Essence

Limited waist activity is limited, you must not be straight, and it is difficult to prone, leaning, and twisting. Cough, sneezing, and urination can exacerbate the pain.

When standing, I often support the waist with my hands, and hold my hands in the chair with both hands when sitting to reduce the pain.

Pain occurs on one or sides of the lumbar muscles after sprains; sometimes it can be painful and overnight after being injured or overnight, and the waist activity is blocked. The pain is slightly lighter during static, and the pain is more painful when the activity or cough.During the examination, local muscles were tight, tender, and traction pain, but there was no congestion.

How to deal with waist sprain

1. Lie down as soon as possible

Lie down as soon as possible after the waist sprain to reduce the pressure of the muscle fascia tissue or the pressure of the lumbar spine, and relieve pain.For more severe sprains, we should rest in bed for at least 5-7 days.

2. Cold compress

Wrap the ice cubes with a plastic bag, wrap a thin layer of thin towels, or directly immerse cold water with a towel, and apply it to the pain site to directly reduce the pain. More importantly, cold compresses can shrink the capillaries and reduce the muscle fascia tissue bleeding.Change the towels every 1-3 minutes, 5-10 times in a row.The time to apply should not be too long, otherwise it will affect the normal circulation of the blood, which is counterproductive.

3. Do not press

Do not blindly press the acute stage, otherwise it will increase the bleeding of the muscle fascia tissue or cause disconses of intervertebral disc.

4, hot compress

After 48 hours, the damaged capillaries have stopped bleeding, and it can be changed to hot compresses at this time.Hot compresses can promote the absorption of congestion and blood circulation, so that the soft tissue is repaired as soon as possible.

5. Physical therapy

After the improvement of pain and spasm, some physical therapy can be done appropriately to accelerate the recovery of injury.There are many ways to physically therapy, with technical reset, infrared rays, local massage, acupuncture, and external application of Chinese medicine. You should depend on personal circumstances.

6. Use medicine

During bed rest, you can use analgesic relieving spasm, hemostasis and swelling ointment (such as Fusalin milk cream, Yunnan white medicine spray, etc.), but pay attention to the Skin cannot be used when the Skin is damaged.If necessary, you can take anti -inflammatory analgesic and neurotic nutritional drugs.

TIPS: If there is only waist pain, there is no symptoms of compressive nerves such as leg pain, numbness, weakness, and dysfunction of the legs. At this time, it is recommended that you do not have to rush to the Hospital for examination.If the symptoms of compression nerve occur, the lumbar disc herniation is likely to occur. It is recommended to go to the Hospital for examination.If there is only waist pain and the bed rest has not improved after 3-5 days, it is recommended to go to the Hospital for treatment to avoid developing chronic low back pain.

The treatment of acute lumbar sprain

The acute period should be restrained.Those with obvious tenderness points can be closed with 1%Protaine (or 1 ml of hydrogenate hydrogenate hydrogenate) for pain points and supplemented by physical therapy.You can also apply blood circulation, stasis, and analgesic plaster locally.After the symptoms are reduced, the back muscles are gradually started.

Prevention of acute waist sprain

1. Education employees should be publicized, strictly abide by operating procedures, familiarize themselves with production technology, prevent rough dryness, and eliminate the incidence of work injury.

2. Improve the labor conditions as much as possible, and replace the heavy physical labor with mechanical operations.Attention should be concentrated during labor, especially when collectively carried heavy objects, we should work together under unified command and consistent pace.

3. Master the correct labor posture. For example, when carrying and lifting heavy objects, try to make your chest and waist straight up, flex your hips and knees, and get up with your lower limbs.Take a half squat to make the object as close to the body as much as possible.

4. Strengthen labor protection. When doing heavy physical labor such as carrying, lifting, moving, and lifting, we should use the Belt to help stabilize the waist spine, enhance abdominal pressure, and enhance muscle work efficiency.If you work in a cold and humid environment, take a hot bath to remove cold and dampness and eliminate fatigue.Try to avoid working for too long for the forced posture of bending.
