Practicing yoga causes paralysis and yoga puts another person down

A yoga practitioner in Chengdu, Sichuan Province escaped surgery after partially paralyzed his lower body after practicing yoga.

This is not the first case of paralysis caused by practicing yoga. Last year, a woman in Kaohsiung, Taiwan suffered a cervical vertebra injury and her feet were paralyzed due to practicing yoga; a yoga practitioner in Shenzhen broke her cervical vertebra and was paralyzed in bed; now she is a patient in Chengdu... who will be next?

I have long said that yoga is a sport that damages the spine.(See my article "Yoga-Exercise that damages the spine ") If the condition is serious or progresses, the ultimate point is paralysis and death.

From bone hyperplasia to arthritis to disc disease to tearing and rupture of discs and vertebrae, aging and degradation... a series of injuries caused by yoga, the consequences for patients are not optimistic.

Many spinal injuries caused by practicing yoga are irreversible degenerative diseases. Even if they do not develop to the extent of paralysis and death, they will still bring lifelong injuries to the practitioner.

As the exercise with the second highest risk of death, the dangers of yoga are not known to many practitioners. Practitioners who were lucky were lucky not to break their spine. If they were not lucky, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even if the spine is not broken on the spot, the accumulated damage will eventually occur one day. As long as you practice yoga for a long time, you will inevitably suffer from injuries.

The Chengdu Daily report puts the blame on the practitioners and is obviously a problematic report.

The vast majority of yoga techniques are inherently wrong and harmful. If people who are not sick practice yoga, they will develop illness. If people who are sick practice yoga, they will aggravate their illness.

The view in the medical community is that patients with spinal diseases cannot practice yoga at all, but yoga practitioners vigorously promote yoga as a treatment for spinal diseases.

Many patients with cervical and lumbar spine injuries were misled by the lies of yoga practitioners and hoped to practice yoga to recuperate and cure their injuries, but the result was that their conditions worsened. This patient in Chengdu is just one of a large number of people who have been deceived.

It was yoga that exacerbated the patient's original lumbar disease and caused partial paralysis of his lower body.

Because some doctors and reporters don't know much about yoga, they often take some opinions for granted; or for other reasons, they talk about him around, be vague, or even defend him, leaving room for yoga scammers to maneuver. This report in Chengdu Daily is a typical example.

In yoga practice, gradual progress can also cause injuries, and moderate moderation is simply impossible. Even the simplest yoga prayer can seriously harm the human spine. Many yoga practice methods will definitely cause damage to the body as long as you practice them. The idea of avoiding difficult exercises and practicing in moderation to avoid exercise injuries simply does not apply to yoga.

Yoga practice methods that violate the basic physiological structure and physiological functions of the human body can also cause injuries if they are practiced step by step. Chronic injuries that accumulate step by step are more likely to develop into chronic and degenerative diseases, which are difficult or even impossible to cure.

Moderate and appropriate practice is a nonsense that seems scientific and reasonable, but is actually vague. Yoga practice, what kind of practice is moderate? What kind of practice is excessive? What kind of exercise is appropriate? What kind of practice is excessive? Are there standards? Without quantitative standards, how can practitioners grasp moderation and moderation when practicing? It is a wrong practice method in itself. Is there any problem with moderate and appropriate methods?

When reporting and expressing opinions, some journalists and some people in the medical community should give the public accurate and clear views, rather than playing Tai Chi and cunning saying such confusing, irrelevant, false and empty clichés to shirk responsibilities and cover up problems.

The full text of the Chengdu Daily report on this matter:

Practicing yoga with illness and almost paralyzed

Doctors remind citizens: Exercise should be carried out step by step and scientifically, and avoid rushing for success

Citizen Ms. Liu called: I am a civilian employee of a company. I usually like to practice yoga and aerobics. However, not long ago, a student in the training class practiced too frequently and too difficult because of inappropriate methods. In addition, he also had a lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, resulting in almost paralysis of the half of the body.

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.

I practiced yoga for two months until I 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.

The root cause of hemiplegia 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 it is currently winter, and before exercising, we must pay attention to fully warm up, adjust the frequency and methods to avoid similar injuries. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
