lumbar herniation

Introduction

Introduction Lumbar disc herniation is also known as lumbar disc herniation or nucleus pulposus. When it is subjected to twisting and impacting at the waist of labor or sports activities, it is caused by excessive force and excessive fatigue when lifting heavy objects. Nuclear tissue is released from the rupture, stimulating or compressing the spinal nerve roots and causing pain in the lower back. The promotion of lumbar disc is the basic factor. With the increase of age, the water content of the annulus fibrosus or nucleus pulpus is reduced, the intervertebral disc is thinned, the structure is loose, the elasticity is reduced, and the accumulated damage is the cause of intervertebral disc degeneration. The bulging is the partial rupture of the annulus fibrosus. The surface layer is intact, and the nucleus pulposus uniformly expands to the spinal canal under the action of pressure, and the surface of the protrusion is smooth.

Cause

Cause

The cause of lumbar bulging:

In the waist of labor or sports activities suffered from twisting and impacting, lifting heavy objects with excessive force, overwork and other injuries caused by intervertebral disc fiber rupture, nucleus pulposus tissue from the rupture.

Examination of lumbar bulging:

Because this disease is mainly caused by low back pain, Chinese medicine is called waist injury. Lumbar intervertebral disc bulging is mainly the nucleus pulposus detachment. Once bulging, it will stimulate the lumbar nerve roots, causing effusion, local circulation mechanism is affected, can not rely on the body's own immune function recovery, Chinese medicine called snoring, it will form Stacking calcification. Further increase nerve compression and stimulation. It will have serious consequences. (The calcification to a certain extent, that is, the so-called bone, can no longer be treated with drugs).

Diagnosis

Differential diagnosis

Identification with lumbar disc herniation:

Disc herniation is that the nucleus pulposus has broken through the annulus fibrosus, and its state fiber is prominent in bone, and it adheres to the surrounding tissue, and the gap is narrowed. Intervertebral disc dislocation is also called intervertebral disc dissociation. It means that the nucleus pulposus completely separates from the annulus fibrosus and enters the spinal canal. Become free tissue and have adhesion to surrounding tissues.
