The concept that "lumbar disc herniation requires a hard bed" seems to be deeply rooted in the hearts of ordinary people, but this is not the case. For a long time, it will lead to the strain of the waist muscles, ligaments, and soft tissues, and produce inflammatory stimulation, which will also aggravate the condition of lumbar protrusion. The soft and hard lumbar vertebrae are the most comfortable indeed. It is recommended not to sleep in soft beds after lumbar disc herniation, but in hard beds. But pay attention, it can't be a hard bed. You can spread the mattress and feel that you can sleep well. A slightly harder bed is good for the prevention and treatment of lumbar disc herniation, but it is not a plank bed, but a bed with moderate hardness. A hard bed can better maintain the normal shape of the spine, reduce the backward protrusion of the lumbar intervertebral disc, relax the muscles, reduce the tension of the lumbar muscles and sciatic nerves, and significantly reduce the pressure in the lumbar spinal canal, which can effectively relieve symptoms. When lying on a bed that is too hard, the bed surface will hardly conform to the weight of the body to produce a deformation fit. In this way, whether lying on the back or on the side, there will be an empty area under the waist of the human body, without any support protection. The result of this suspension is that the waist muscles should always keep tense in order to maintain posture. For a long time, it will lead to the strain of the waist muscles, ligaments, and soft tissues, and produce inflammatory stimulation, which will also aggravate the condition of lumbar protrusion. Timely treatment of 80% of patients can relieve the correct sleeping posture, which is also very important for patients with lumbar disc herniation. Whether the sleeping posture of patients is reasonable is not only related to the quality of rest, but also related to the therapeutic effect of lumbar disc herniation. Of course, sleeping posture is not static. In fact, various sleeping positions of the human body are alternated during sleep, as long as the waist is kept as natural as possible to relax the muscles. The best treatment for lumbar disc herniation is timely discovery, timely treatment. Among them, conservative treatment is the choice of many people, which is applicable to patients with shorter illness time and lighter illness. Conservative treatment is mainly to reduce the edema of nerve root and the compression of prominent nucleus pulposus nerve root. Through conservative treatment, 80% to 90% of patients with lumbar disc herniation can be relieved. The following five points should be paid attention to when lying in bed with lumbar protrusion: 1. During the rest period when lying in bed with lumbar protrusion, proper exercises should be carried out, such as chest raising in prone position, back kicking, etc. The movements should be gentle, gentle and rhythmic, and the amount of exercise should be gradually increased. 2. For patients with severe symptoms, the bed rest should be complete, continuous and sufficient. The bed should preferably be of moderate thickness and hardness. The height of the bed should be slightly higher. It is better to make the thigh plane and upper body more than 90 ° obtuse angle when the patient just sits up, which is conducive to the patient getting out of bed. 3. During bed rest, pay attention to eating more fruits and vegetables, and eat less high fat, high protein and other high calorie foods to keep the stool smooth. 4. When the patient lies on his back, the hip and knee joints should be kept in a certain flexion position, and a pillow can be placed at the waist to maintain the physiological curvature of the lumbar spine. 5. The most difficult thing to adhere to in bed rest of lumbar protrusion is to defecate and urinate in bed. For patients with particularly serious lumbar disc herniation, if they can not lie flat, they need to ask their families to help them get out of bed. Never sit up in bed
