Backache is unbearable because of love wearing high heels
The young teacher Huang has recently been troubled by low back pain. As a teacher, she had a lot of time standing on the board, which made her uncomfortable. Because, as long as she continued to stand for more than ten minutes, the waist began to sore.
More than half a month ago, Huang went to the outpatient department of Li Changhui, deputy chief physician of the Department of Rehabilitation of the Second People's Hospital of the People's Republic of China (special key national spine disease). After some inspections, the diseases that may cause low back pain were ruled out. Finally, the doctor pointed to Huang’s shoes, which were as high as 8 cm in height, and said: Your low back pain is what it hurts. Huang teacher looked blank and asked, what is the relationship between low back pain and shoes? Besides, I have always been wearing high-heeled shoes and I am very accustomed to it. Why do we suddenly suffer from back pain?
In the face of Huang's doubts, Dr. Li Changhui patiently explained: After putting on high-heeled shoes, the pelvis will lean forward and recline at the waist. At this point the contraction of the back muscles is tightened, and the lumbar facet joints and joint capsules are in tension. In the long term, strains occur in the lumbar spine and back muscles, eventually causing low back pain.
"Wearing high heels is not only easy to lower back pain, because the pelvis is leaning forward, and some will affect the development of the fetus in the future." Dr. Li Changhui recommends beauty-conscious women. The heel should be about 3 cm, and the maximum should not exceed 5 cm.
Why women's waist is more vulnerable?
Many women have a feeling of back pain: more than one stop will hurt. A woman said, "I have to sit down and rest several times for a meal." And low back pain seems to be of no age. A twenty-year-old girl also came to the hospital: "Doctor, I have always felt backache recently. Pain, when I woke up in the morning, I felt low back pain and could not stand up. Why is this?
In this regard, Li Changhui, MD, from the Department of Rehabilitation of the Second Hospital of Shandong Province, said that women's physical and physiological characteristics make them more likely to have low back pain than men. Common are:
Gynecological diseases cause low back pain. Such as salpingitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc., easy to have low back pain. Uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts and other diseases, will cause oppressive, implicated lumbago. If there is a woman with backward uterus and backward flexion, changes in the position of the uterus and poor blood flow may cause pelvic congestion and so on, which may also cause lumbosacral pain. In addition, abnormalities in the birth control ring also cause some women with lumbosacral pain.
Pregnancy and puerperium cause low back pain. During pregnancy, as the fetus grows, the weight of the uterus also increases with the gestational age, causing the body to lean forward. In order to maintain the balance of the body, the back of the waist tends to swell. If you do not pay attention to rest, you may easily cause back pain.
Lumbar spondylosis causes back pain. More common in older women. With age, the lumbar nerve compression symptoms will increase, many older women have low back pain and lower extremity radiating pain symptoms. In addition, some elderly women suffer from low back pain due to autonomic dysfunction, which is characterized by a heavy morning and reduced activity.
High heels syndrome. It is also common in outpatient clinics. Most of them are young women. After they come to the clinic, they cannot find any other causes. After changing to flat or short heels, the symptoms of low back pain are significantly reduced.
Dr. Li reminded that when low back pain occurs, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time to ask the doctor to do a systematic examination to find out the reasons and remove the incentives. Treatment of low back pain, mainly massage, physical therapy, acupuncture and so on. The Department of Rehabilitation of the Second Hospital of Shandong Province also launched the "SET suspension function training" to reduce back pain by increasing the stability of the spine.
