Warning: Practicing yoga with illness and almost paralyzed

Citizen Ms. Liu called:

I am a civilian employee in a company and like to practice yoga and aerobics very much. However, not long ago, a trainee in the training class practiced too frequently and too difficult because of improper methods. In addition, he also had lumbar disc herniation. The body was almost paralyzed in half.

I think this incident has given fitness enthusiasts a great warning. It shows that for adults, difficult and large-scale exercise is not necessarily a good thing. It must be carried out step by step and in moderation on the premise of understanding one's physical condition., is the scientific way to exercise.

Two months of hard training

Practicing yoga until she was almost paralyzed

According to the clues provided by Ms. Liu, the reporter found Ms. Zhang, who had just completed surgery, in the orthopedic ward of Chengdu 363 Hospital. Although she had eliminated her pain at this time, she still had lingering fear when she recalled her recent experience. 33-year-old Miss Zhang said that she is a staff member of an advertising company. Considering the lack of exercise in the office for a long time, coupled with her old low back pain, she started practicing yoga in August this year, hoping to strengthen her body. "At the beginning, I learned from the coach and insisted on practicing according to the instructions every day. Later, I sped up my own horse and added a lot of difficult skills, just hoping to see the results soon." Miss Zhang told reporters that in the yoga movements she practiced, there were a lot of bending and stretching ligaments, and sometimes she felt low back pain after doing it."I had similar symptoms before, but it was fine after massage treatment. This attack, I thought it was caused by a sudden increase after a long period of non-exercise."

However, just two months after practicing yoga, Miss Zhang's low back pain suddenly worsened, making it difficult to even walk. What's more serious, she found that her lower abdomen had lost consciousness and could not even control her urine and urine. It was not until then that she was sent to the hospital by her family for treatment. "Is it because practicing yoga causes paralysis? I hardly dare to think about it." Miss Zhang said.

hemiplegia

The root cause is lumbar yoga is the trigger

"When the patient first arrived, his condition was indeed very serious, and he had already developed partial paralysis symptoms." Zhou Qiang, Miss Zhang's attending doctor, told reporters that when the patient first arrived at the hospital, he had severe waist pain, it was very difficult to walk in his lower limbs, and it was difficult to control his urine and urine."After detailed examination, we found that the root cause of the problem was not yoga, but Miss Zhang herself. The examination results showed that she herself suffered from severe lumbar disc herniation!"

Dr. Zhou said that in fact, people with this disease cannot engage in such difficult exercises themselves, especially bending, stretching ligaments and other movements. This will not only not strengthen the body, but may also lead to the deterioration of the condition. Miss Zhang's strong practice of yoga is the cause of the current condition. "In fact, before training, the coach also specifically asked me if I had a waist injury, but at that time I didn't know that this low back pain was caused by a herniated disc. As a result, I was confused and practiced for two months." Speaking of this, Miss Zhang seemed very regretful.

Dr. Zhou said that Miss Zhang has undergone lumbar discectomy and is recovering well."Even so, she can't participate in exercises like yoga in the short term."

Adult fitness

Never rush for success

"In fact, high-intensity and large-scale exercises such as yoga, hip-hop, and aerobics may not be suitable for everyone, especially some adults who lack a foundation in exercise. Being eager for success may lead to the opposite effect." Liu Desheng, deputy chief physician of the Department of Orthopedics at 363 Hospital, told reporters that according to an analysis of various causes of sports injuries, most of the injured are caused by over-evaluating their own abilities or not understanding their own health hazards. These injuries are largely avoidable."Take yoga as an example. Actions like leaning back and supporting your hands on the ground require a good foundation of exercise, and not everyone can do it. If the innate conditions are not enough and there are injuries of this kind or another the day after tomorrow, something will likely happen if you practice again."

Dr. Liu believes that the essence of fitness is to strengthen the body as the ultimate goal, rather than excessively increasing one's limits, so scientific self-protection is very important. "Before choosing an exercise method, adults must first be familiar with their own health conditions, make choices within their capabilities, and consider more light and slow exercises such as jogging and small balls. In addition, you cannot have ideas that are eager for success. You must proceed step by step and scientifically." Dr. Liu reminded that before exercising in winter, we must pay attention to fully warm up, adjust the frequency and methods to avoid similar injuries. (Editor in charge: Teng Yun)
