PAY ATTENTION TO THESE WARNINGS!
If the ailments that cause back pain are not treated and the mistakes made are continued, a herniated disc can develop. However, it is possible to live a life away from low back pain by taking simple precautions before the problem reaches this stage.
Turkey Medicals member and Associate Professor of Neurosurgery and Neurosurgery Dr. noted that with aging, the discs in the spine also wear out, the fluid between the vertebrae decays, which increases the risk of herniated disc, adding: “The disease occurs especially after 30-40 years of age. But we also have patients who are 20-25 years old. Especially those who lift heavy items and loads from an early age are aging their spine,” he says.

Problems with the waist affect all parts of the body. Because the muscle that surrounds the spine starts from the waist and continues up from both sides of the back and gathers at the nape. A crunch in the waist leads to contractions in this whole area.
.
Emphasizing that it is possible to maintain waist health with simple measures, Neurosurgery Dr. collects her recommendations to protect the waist in 10 titles. Here are those suggestions:
Bend your knee when lifting things
Lifting a load in the wrong position is one of the erroneous behaviors that cause discomfort in the waist. When you are going to pick up an item from the floor, squat on the floor with your knees bent and lift the item in this position.
Do not rotate your waist
Especially in the car, turning around and taking something can cause back pain. Avoid this type of dangerous and sudden behavior that causes the spine to rotate and move.
Lose weight
Gaining weight is especially straining the discs in the lumbar region. The weight of the whole body is riding on the vertebrae in the lumbar region, and the load is distributed from there to the legs. If a person gains weight, the load on the spine increases. To get rid of your extra pounds, eat healthy and exercise regularly.
Don’t lie down high
One of the behaviors that leads to low back pain is lying down high and taking a load above. Do not lie on your head high, do not take weights from a high place.
Do exercises
Do exercises to strengthen the muscle around the waist. Decathlon and swimming are among the most recommended sports. Sports that involve fighting such as basketball, football, or lifting weights such as weightlifting are not recommended for those who complain of low back pain.
Do not stay still
If you are sitting at the computer for half an hour, get up and walk around for five minutes. This recommendation also applies to those who work at the desk. Changing the position and getting up and walking around every half hour while sitting is important to protect against pain.
Use support
Always have a pillow on the seat where you work or in the driver’s seat to support the waist. A sitting position is important when driving, as well as when working. Do not lean too far back and drive by standing closer to the steering wheel.
Do not read books in bed
Reading a book in a supine position leads to back pain. Because you are leaning forward, the posture of the spine is changing. Likewise, do not work with a laptop in bed.
Pay attention to the choice of bedding
Beds need to be neither hard nor too soft. Orthopedic mattresses protect the health of the waist. In the lying position, there are no restrictions. Sleep in the position where you are most comfortable.
Wear comfortable shoes
It can be inconvenient to wear high-heeled shoes for long hours, especially for women. Because the balance and center of gravity of the entire spine are changing. All the weight is put on the waist. So try to wear sneakers on the way to work, and work shoes at work.
