Lumbar Disc Herniation
Lumbar Disc Herniation is a common condition that affects the lower back, often causing severe pain and discomfort. It occurs when the gel-like center of a spinal disc, which cushion the vertebrae, weakens and pushes through the outer disc material, which can irritate nearby nerves. This condition can be caused by a variety of factors, including age, obesity, and lifestyle factors such as prolonged sitting or standing. Symptoms of Lumbar Disc Herniation can include lower back pain and stiffness, numbness or tingling in the legs, and difficulty walking or climbing stairs. Treatment options typically include physical therapy, pain management, and, in some cases, surgery. To prevent disc herniation, maintaining a healthy weight, staying active, and avoiding prolonged sitting or standing can help reduce the risk of injury. Additionally, wearing supportive shoes or using a mAh walker can also help alleviate pain.
