What is the relationship between lumbar muscle strain and kidneys? Diagnosis of lumbar muscle strain

Lumbar muscle strain has nothing to do with the kidneys, and lumbar muscle strain is caused by chronic cumulative damage to soft tissues such as muscles, ligaments, and fascia in the lower back, which is mainly manifested as reverse back pain. Of course, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, lumbar muscle strain belongs to the category of low back pain, which can be divided into kidney deficiency, qi stagnation and blood stasis, qi and blood insufficiency, wind cold, damp heat and other syndrome types.

1. It has nothing to do with the kidneys.

From the point of view of modern medicine, there is no relationship between lumbar muscle strain and kidneys. Lumbar muscle strain is a lesion of the soft tissues of the waist, that is, the muscles, ligaments, fascia and other soft tissues of the waist have accumulated damage, which is related to factors such as sitting and standing for a long time, bending over to lift heavy objects, and excessive weight bearing. The kidneys are located in the abdominal cavity and do not directly affect the soft tissues of the lower back.

2. It has a certain relationship with kidney deficiency.

Lumbar muscle strain is a disease diagnosis in modern medicine, which belongs to the category of low back pain in the concept of traditional Chinese medicine. Patients with low back pain can be divided into syndrome types such as liver and kidney deficiency, temperament and blood stasis, qi and blood insufficiency, wind, cold and dampness, and dampness and heat accumulation after syndrome differentiation in traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the waist is the home of the kidneys, and patients with kidney deficiency are more likely to have problems such as low back pain, soreness and weakness of the waist and knees.

3. Dialectical treatment.

Patients with kidney deficiency type of lumbar muscle strain can be subdivided into kidney yang deficiency, kidney yin deficiency, kidney qi deficiency, kidney essence deficiency and other syndrome types after syndrome differentiation. If it is kidney yang deficiency, it should be warmed and supplemented; If it is kidney yin deficiency, it should nourish yin and nourish the kidney.

Both lumbar muscle strain and kidney deficiency can cause back pain, but there is a difference.

Lumbar muscle strain is usually soreness in one or both of the lumbar muscles, and the low back pain is often more severe in the morning. There may also be significant pain after sitting or exertion. Lumbar muscle strain is a chronic disease, so we should also pay attention to the occurrence of initial symptoms, and you can apply traditional Chinese medicine patches (Gushun, Shitang, lumbar muscles, Shu, Luoping, pain, patches) The key to the treatment of lumbar muscle strain is persistence.

Strive to be able to detect and treat the disease in time. Kidney deficiency is often a pain in the waist and kidney area, and the pain in the waist is not obviously located, and kidney deficiency can be accompanied by systemic symptoms such as knee weakness and fatigue and fatigue. Therefore, lumbar muscle strain and kidney deficiency should be distinguished, and if necessary, go to the Chinese medicine department to diagnose the pulse.

There are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Keep warm.

Patients with lumbar muscle strain should pay special attention to local warmth, avoid cold in the waist, and do not eat raw and cold food greedily, and do not stay under air conditioning for a long time, which is not good for the waist! Strengthens the protection of the lower back. This is a common precaution for lumbar muscle strain.

2. Diet. Patients should also pay more attention to their usual diet, eat more high-calcium foods such as milk, kelp, soy products, etc., and pay attention to the balance of nutritional structure. These are also very beneficial for lumbar muscle strain.

3. Correct posture.

Proper standing and sitting posture is also good for the lower back. Incorrect posture can cause the spine to bend and cause uneven force on the intervertebral discs, which is a hidden source of the more common herniated discs. The correct posture should be to "stand like a loose and sit like a clock", with the chest straight and the waist straight.

The same posture should not be maintained for too long, and appropriate activities in place or lower back activities can relieve the fatigue of the lower back muscles.

The liver and kidney are the main body of all aspects of the growth and maintenance of functions, liver and kidney deficiency will cause muscle loss to make up for the deficiency, plus bad habits over time can completely cause strain.

Lumbar muscle strain is not related to the kidneys, and the lesion site of lumbar muscle strain is the lumbar fascia, that is, the muscles on the waist. It is a disease caused by ischemia and hypoxia of the waist muscles, and this disease has nothing to do with the kidneys themselves. The kidneys themselves may suffer from low back pain due to nephritis, chronic kidney failure, and stones.

However, these low back pains are usually accompanied by symptoms, such as an increase in body temperature or painful urination, or some accompanying symptoms. However, the low back pain caused by lumbar muscle strain is generally relatively simple, with only local soreness, swelling pain and other clinical manifestations, and no other accompanying symptoms.

Lumbar muscle strain and kidney deficiency are essentially different, the two are completely different conditions, lumbar muscle strain is caused by long-term excessive physical labor or strenuous exercise after the symptoms of pain in the lower back. Patients with kidney deficiency may have a feeling of soreness in the lower back, as well as sweating and general weakness.

Patients with lumbar muscle strain can be relieved by resting or massage, while patients with kidney deficiency can be relieved by drugs that tonify the kidney**.

Kidney deficiency can be manifested as soreness in the waist and knees, dizziness, tinnitus, hot flashes and night sweats, and lumbar muscle strain is mainly manifested as soreness in the lower back and limited activities.

Kidney deficiency and lumbar muscle strain are two different diseases, kidney deficiency is the name of the disease in traditional Chinese medicine, which is judged by symptoms, manifested as soreness in the waist and knees, dizziness and tinnitus, insomnia and dreams. Accompanied by kidney yang deficiency, symptoms such as chills and cold limbs, impotence**, and frequent urination at night can also be seen; Accompanied by kidney yin deficiency, it can be accompanied by symptoms such as five heart irritations, hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia and dreams. Lumbar muscle strain is a chronic muscle injury symptom caused by long-term strain of lumbar muscles or weakness of lumbar muscles, which is manifested as muscle soreness and weakness in the lower back, and severe symptoms such as lumbar pain, difficulty sitting up, and numbness and pain in the lower limbs, which can be identified by Western medical examination.

Lumbar muscle strain is different from kidney deficiency and low back pain, which are two different types of diseases.

Both have symptoms of low back pain, but lumbar muscle strain is mostly caused by lumbar injuries and chronic lumbar injuries, and the main symptoms are soreness and tingling in the lower back. The pain in the lower back is significantly aggravated after being exposed to cold and exertion, and in severe cases, it will also radiate pain to the buttocks.

The low back pain caused by kidney deficiency is mostly caused by the deficiency of the panicle organs.

Low back pain is accompanied by chills, chills, and lack of energy.

The causens of these two diseases are different, and the methods are also different.

Lumbar muscle strain can be treated through lumbar physiotherapy, acupuncture, etc.**.

People suffering from kidney deficiency and low back pain should rest more, and can take traditional Chinese medicine to nourish the kidney and qi**, and can also use Western medicine**.
