The child has pain in the sixth lumbar vertebra

Children are the treasures of their parents, and any problem that arises in their children will be magnified by their parents. Sometimes some children feel pain when sitting. When this problem occurs, it is mostly due to improper sitting posture or developmental problems, or sometimes even due to external injuries. But the main reason is that there is less crawling during infancy.

1. Improper sitting posture and insufficient exercise: Today’s middle school students spend too much time sitting and relatively less time exercising. It can easily cause lumbar muscle strain, is not conducive to calcium absorption, and affects bone development.

2. Development too fast: The improvement of living standards leads to early puberty in children, rapid ossification of cartilage plates, incomplete development of intervertebral discs, high water content in the nucleus pulposus and low collagen content, and insufficient flexibility of the intervertebral discs. The strength of the waist muscles is also obviously insufficient, and intervertebral disc herniation is prone to occur under sudden external force.

3. Caused by trauma: Teenagers are active and not good at self-protection. During strenuous exercise, the waist is subjected to external force. For example, the tension of the fiber ring at the posterior edge of the intervertebral space suddenly increases when bending forward. When it exceeds a certain limit, intervertebral disc herniation will occur.

4. Less crawling during infancy: Most children nowadays are only children, and several adults take care of one child. Children have few opportunities to crawl. As soon as they can stand a little, they are placed in a walker to walk. This is very detrimental to the formation of the child's normal physiological curvature. When they are in their teens, the increase in weight can easily cause lumbar disc herniation.

If you have a back injury and have obvious pain when coughing, sneezing, or straining to defecate, the pain is mostly located in the lower back, and the leg pain is mostly radiating pain from the buttocks to the distal end on one side, which may be accompanied by numbness, then you may have lumbar disc herniation and should go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
