3/ 6 Symptoms of discopathy
Align the rank In the case of discopathy, the testis moves, which puts pressure on the nerves, causing severe pain. He is the main forerunner of the disease. It can affect any part of the spine and give symptoms of pain radiating to the extremities, pelvis, shoulders, chest or head. Patients with discopathy are offered physiotherapy treatments, and in severe cases – surgery.
4/ 6 A method for lifting heavy objects
Get up off your knees To safely pick up a heavy object, step slightly hip-width apart. Then we have to bend our knees while keeping our back straight. With both hands we reach for the object and hold it as close to the torso as possible. We carry the weight in front of us with the torso slightly tilted forward. You can also help yourself with a belt while lifting weights. It surrounds the waist, covers the lumbar area and, by increasing the pressure of the abdominal pressure, stabilizes the spine.
5/ 6 Discopathy and the gym
Watch out for the gym Discopathy can also affect those exercising at the gym. After lifting too heavy weights during training, we may experience pain, e.g. in the lower spine. – If the pain persists for several weeks, then we should look more closely at our exercise technique and weights, and if that does not help, we must consult a doctor or physical therapist. Exercises in the water will be helpful in diseases of the spine. As we know, water relieves strain and can reduce the effects of spinal strain – says Przemysław Nietubyć, MA in rehabilitation.
6/ 6 Ways to relieve back pain
Don’t tire your spine If you feel pain in your spine after moving, let it rest. – It is worth lying on your stomach – recommends the physiotherapist. – We have to conserve the spine for a week. Avoid bending down while brushing your teeth or hair. The shower must be upright. In order not to burden the spine, you should lean with a “straight” back, squat, or kneel down on one knee – he adds. If the pain worsens, you need to see an orthopedist. The doctor may recommend rehabilitation. – It is better to exercise if you can avoid pain by doing so. It often helps more than painkillers, says Nietubyć. Sometimes, however, drug therapy or surgery may be necessary. Text: Halina Pilonis
