Lumbar Injury

Lumbar injury is quite common in daily life, and most of them are caused by strain. Long-term heavy physical labor or poor physical condition in the elderly may lead to lumbar injury, such as lumbar sprain. In this case, orthopedics should be consulted. However, if there is pain in the waist, it may also be related to visceral lesions and may be associated with stone diseases. This kind of pain is generally radiating pain, and at this time, the lumbar injury should be referred to gastroenterology, urology, or nephrology.

I. Which Department Should Lumbar Injury Be Consulted?

Firstly, if the lumbar discomfort or pain is caused by physical labor, sports, or waist trauma, accompanied by chills, high fever, low fever, night sweats, numbness, pain, or weakness in both lower limbs, intermittent claudication, and abnormal urination or defecation, orthopedics should be consulted.

Secondly, if the patient has gastrointestinal or urinary system diseases, such as nephritis, pyelonephritis, kidney stones, etc., it is necessary to consider the waist pain caused by abdominal organ lesions, and gastroenterology, urology, or nephrology should be consulted.

Thirdly, if elderly patients have osteoporosis, orthopedics should be consulted to rule out lumbar fractures. It is also necessary to consult endocrinology or rheumatology and immunology for the treatment of primary diseases of osteoporosis.

II. How to Quickly Recover from Lumbar Sprain?

1. Bed Rest: After a lumbar sprain, it is essential to put aside all matters and rest in bed properly. When lying in bed, a hard bed with thin bedding should be chosen, which will be more effective for the recovery of lumbar injury.

2. Traditional Chinese Massage: Massage can accelerate blood circulation in the waist, thereby improving the situation of lumbar congestion quickly. After a sprain, it is necessary to rest for a period of time before undergoing massage to disperse the congestion effectively.

3. Lumbar Traction: Lumbar injury often affects the lumbar spine. Therefore, it is necessary to go to the hospital for lumbar traction, which can quickly restore lumbar bone injury and correct the position of the lumbar spine in time. Lumbar displacement may occur after a lumbar injury, and timely recovery is very necessary.

4. Waist Exercise: After a period of recovery, waist exercise is needed to increase waist strength. When doing waist exercise, it is recommended to perform on a hard bed with gentle movements to avoid aggravating the lumbar injury and affecting the recovery process.
