Yoga practitioners should be cautious of spinal joint injury. With the popularity of yoga, more and more people begin to join the team of practicing yoga. Any sport has a dangerous side. If you don't prepare well when practicing yoga, you will hurt your body, especially your spine.
Reminder 1
Forced backward extension and flexion may wear the joints of the spine
Many people may be puzzled, how can Yoga cause spinal cord injury? In this regard, Professor Liang de pointed out that yoga is a good fitness method, but if not practiced properly, it may cause spinal cord injury. At present, most of the popular yoga postures adopt the opposite direction of joint force. In yoga, there are a lot of postures of spine backward extension and flexion, which need to be maintained for a long time. For ordinary people, the spine can be easily bent forward, but the backward extension and flexion is obviously limited. Forced hyperextension may lead to joint wear, and even dislocation and nerve compression due to the compression behind the spine.
Reminder 2
Patients with spondylosis can't take yoga as a treatment
Mr. Zhang was diagnosed with cervical spondylotic myelopathy in three years. As the degree of spinal cord compression is not serious, he chose conservative treatment. Once upon a time, he heard that practicing yoga can 'prevent' cervical spondylosis, so he bought a set of yoga teaching CD-ROM from the store and learned it all the same. After learning several times, I feel good, then I began to challenge some relatively difficult movements. On one occasion, when he stretched his cervical spine as far back as possible, he suddenly felt weak in his lower limbs and collapsed. Finally, his family rushed to the hospital for MRI examination and diagnosed as cervical disc herniation combined with spinal cord contusion and bleeding.
In this regard, experts pointed out that Mr. Zhang originally suffered from cervical spondylotic myelopathy, the spinal cord has been compressed, and the buffer space of the spinal cord in the spinal canal is very small. When he forced the cervical vertebra to stretch back, the degree of stenosis of the cervical spinal canal and the degree of compression of the spinal cord were further aggravated, resulting in serious consequences of lower limb paralysis. In clinical practice, there are many patients with lumbar disc herniation and lumbar spondylolisthesis who get worse after practicing yoga. Therefore, some patients with spondylosis are not suitable to practice yoga, and they should not be mistaken for yoga to treat spondylosis. Before practicing yoga, they should accept the advice of professional coaches and specialists, and should not self-study at will, so as to avoid greater damage to the spine.

Don't be in a hurry to practice yoga
Xiao Wang is usually busy with work and lacks exercise. One day, a close friend of her daughter took her to study yoga with her. The coach made her get used to it. But when she saw that the coach made beautiful and difficult stretching movements, she couldn't help but be eager to try and imitate them. Suddenly, she felt severe pain in her waist and was sent to the hospital by her friend. Finally, she was diagnosed with acute lumbar sprain and lumbar facet joint turbulence Chaos.
2. Yoga should not be too radical
Ms. Li is a self demanding and serious department manager. She began to learn yoga in 2000. After practice, she found that every time she finished practicing, her whole body was very relaxed and she kept on practicing every day. According to her introduction, sometimes her practice time would be twice as long as the regular practice time. At the beginning of this year, she felt pain in her waist after training. At the beginning, she didn't pay attention to it. Later, the pain gradually aggravated and accompanied by lower limb pain, which affected her normal walking. She only went to the hospital for treatment. Finally, she was diagnosed with 'lumbar disc herniation'. When she first learned about this situation, she was very puzzled. The doctor told her that if the lumbar vertebra is over extended, the pressure on the intervertebral disc may be greater, which will aggravate the degeneration of the intervertebral disc and cause herniation. Ms. Li was still ineffective after systematic conservative treatment, and she finally received surgical treatment.
