Can it work?

Straight spinal disease is a major attack on the spinal column and can be chronically inflammable to varying degrees of stress and cosmos and the surrounding joints. Many patients are wondering if they can still move when they have a hard spine. The answer is yes, and sport plays a crucial role for people with severe spinal disease.

From the point of view of pain relief and rigidity, vertical spinal disease can cause pain in the spinal column, joints, etc., as well as early-morning rigidity, often with severe restrictions on movement. Appropriate exercise, in turn, can promote blood circulation, make the blood flow around the joints smoother, help to remove inflammatory factors and alleviate pain. For example, a simple walk, in which the circulation of blood in the body accelerates, the previously rigid joints slowly “lives”, the duration of the morning freeze is reduced, and daily pain is reduced, and the patient is more comfortable in carrying out his or her life activities.

Sport is also of great importance for maintaining the level of joint activity. The development of vertical spinal disease tends to result in vertical and vertebrate deformities of the joint, which reduces the range of joint activities. However, if patients insist on regular motion, such as swimming, yoga, etc., the whole body ‘ s joints can be stretched in the water while swimming, the floating power of the water shares part of the weight of the body, reduces the pressure of the joints, while allowing the spinal column, the limb joints, etc. to be fully active and prevent them from being attached and straight too early. Yoga has a number of stretch-and-reversive forms that allow for the targeted exercise of the spinal sections and hips, shoulder and so on, helping to maintain and improve the mobility of these parts and to slow down the loss of joint functions as much as possible.

Fulfillment of muscles is also a major benefit of the movement for people with high straight spines. They are better able to support and protect joints and spines when the muscles around the spine and the limbs are strengthened. For example, muscles in upper limbs and core parts can be reinforced through force training, such as push-ups, tablet support, etc. When back muscles become stronger, they share the stress of the spinal column and reduce the risk of disease-induced spinal deformation; leg muscles are strong enough to be more stable when walking and standing, and to reduce the adverse impact on the joints. This overall helps to improve physical stability and helps patients to better cope with the physical changes associated with the strong vertical spina.

However, there is much to be noted in the movement of people with acute spinal disease. First, sport must be moderate, not begin with a high-intensity, long-term exercise, step by step, and gradually increase the amount and difficulty of sport in accordance with their physical tolerance. Second, it would be inappropriate to choose the right sport to avoid those that are too intense and tend to cause joint damage, such as basketball and football, which are confrontational and have many physical impacts. It is also important to warm up before the exercise, to be fully active, and to stretch and relax after the exercise, to help ease muscle stress and reduce the likelihood of physical damage.

In short, people living with vertical spinal disease should not only be able to move, but should also be active and reasonable, so as to reduce symptoms, maintain joint function and enhance muscle strength through sport, which can become a powerful “weapons” against disease, provided that the scale of and attention to the movement is taken.
