It is very important for patients with a herniated disc to maintain a correct sitting and standing posture. Correct sitting and standing posture can reduce the burden on the lower back and prevent further aggravation of the disease. Here are some suggestions:
Sitting posture. 1.Choose the right chair: Choose a chair that has a backrest and supports the waist, and the height of the back should support the curve of the waist.
2.Adjust the seat height: Adjust the seat to the right height so that your feet are flat on the ground and your knees are bent at 90 degrees.
3.Keep your body upright: When sitting, try to keep your body upright, don't lean forward or leaning back, and avoid twisting your waist.
4.Use lumbar support: Lumbar support pads can be used to provide additional support and reduce pressure on the lower back.
Standing. 1.Stand up straight: When standing, keep your body upright, your shoulders relaxed, and your chest up.
2.Evenly distribute the center of gravity: Distribute the center of gravity evenly on both feet to avoid overbearing weight on one foot.
3.Avoid standing for a long time: When standing for a long time, you can move your body appropriately and change your standing posture to reduce the burden on your waist.
4.Pay attention to the backpack method: If you need a backpack, choose a backpack and distribute the weight of the backpack evenly over your shoulders.
In conclusion, for patients with a herniated lumbar disc, maintaining a correct sitting and standing posture is an important measure to prevent and relieve symptoms. At the same time, attention should also be paid to maintaining moderate exercise and rest, avoiding overexertion and staying in the same position for long periods of time. If the symptoms are severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention and receive professional advice**.
