What should I do if I have back pain while driving for a long time?

Low back pain is mostly caused by long-term unreasonable posture, and the medical community agrees that correcting posture is the key and core of the ****, and walking backwards is currently the most effective method. The human posture is a mechanical whole, and the role of the center of gravity is crucial. You can feel for yourself:

Stand in the most upright posture, and the center of gravity must be at the heel; And when you are hunched over, the center of gravity will definitely move forward. In terms of foot anatomy, the thick and firm heel is the most suitable part for weight bearing, and it is also a unique and evolutionary sign of humans. This is the consensus of the scientific community, so how to make people move their center of gravity backward is the core and principle of posture correction.

The pelvis is the position of the center of gravity of the human body, and the forward tilt of the pelvis is essentially the forward movement of the center of gravity of the human body, and the position of the center of gravity of the human body is closely related to the stress state of the feet and the situation of the shoes, and there is an inherent and inevitable relationship between them. The most typical is high heels, when wearing high heels, the center of gravity of the human body moves forward, the anterior tilt of the pelvis increases, and the lumbar lordosis increases, which is easy to cause and aggravate low back pain, so doctors have unanimously warned patients with low back pain not to wear high heels, and listed long-term wearing of high heels as one of the highest levels of low back pain. If you compare people to a building, the feet are the foundation of the person, and the heel can make the foundation tilt, which can be said to be four or two thousand pounds.

If the height of the heel decreases, the amplitude of the anterior pelvic tilt and lordosis of the lumbar spine also decrease, and the adverse effects are reduced. If you wear flat shoes, the adverse effect of shoes on the lumbar spine is basically eliminated, but flat shoes have no corrective effect on the bad posture that has been formed. According to this mechanical principle, if the sole becomes high in the front and low in the back, then the center of gravity of the human body will be forced to move back to the heel, the pelvis will inevitably be in an upright state, the lordosis of the lumbar spine will be greatly reduced, and the shoe will have the function of body correction, which is the same as the principle of walking backwards.

Because when walking backwards, the body's center of gravity can be forced to move backwards, correcting the excessive curvature of the spine. You can do an experiment: stand barefoot or in flat shoes, step on a book about 20 mm thick on the ball of your forefoot, so that your feet are in a state of high in front and low in the back, you can experience it, and the longer the experience, the better.

If you feel that the symptoms have been reduced, in order to make it easier to persevere, you can choose negative heels with high soles in the front and low in the back, which can be purchased in some tertiary hospitals. Insist on using it in daily life, which is equivalent to the posture correction of the forced center of gravity backwards, extending to daily life, which can be used as an alternative to walking backwards, safer, conducive to achieving better results, and the existing **** method is not contradictory, but also has the role of supplementing, strengthening and consolidating, and is beneficial and harmless. Similar products are more common in developed European and American countries and are called "earth shoes".

It is most popular in Japan, especially for people with low back pain, and it has received rave reviews. Note: Do not wear shoes with heels if you have low back pain, any shoes with heels will aggravate anterior pelvic tilt and lumbar lordosis, aggravating low back pain.

Everyone knows that high heels can cause and aggravate lower back pain, and the same goes for medium heels. Long-term chronic low back pain can easily lead to the occurrence of intervertebral disc herniation, and the consequences are more serious, and the fundamental method of intervertebral disc herniation is also to correct posture, especially to correct the center of gravity.

1. Move the seat to the steering wheel appropriately, so that the steering wheel is as close to the chest as possible without affecting the steering, and at the same time, the recline angle should be 100 degrees, do not make the recline angle too large, and adjust the height between the seat and the steering wheel. If the seat is too low, the shoulders will feel upward, and if the seat is too high, it is easy to overextend the lumbar spine and increase the load on the lumbar and induce lumbar disc herniation.

2. Try to avoid driving for more than an hour in a row. When you need to drive for a long time, it is advisable to stop halfway to rest for 5 10 minutes, get out of the cab, go outside for a little movement, and do some waist movement health gymnastics.

3. For car drivers, sitting for a long time and less activity, the most important measure to prevent low back pain is to strengthen self-protection, that is, to strengthen the functional exercise of the neck and waist muscles, to carry out neck and back muscle function exercises regularly or during rest every day, and to participate in more sports such as swimming.

It is most likely a herniated disc in the lower back. Avoid sedentary, exertion, etc.
