“Standy spinal disease: the clearer the better the better the better “
During the journey of life, direct spinal disease is like an endless storm, posing enormous challenges to the lives of patients. Through proper patient education, however, we can help patients better understand and respond to the disease and give new hope for their lives.
1. The recognition of a strong straight spinal disease is a chronic inflammatory disease that is a major attack on the spinal column, the hip and the exterior joint. The causes are not yet clear and are generally considered to be related to genetic, environmental and immune factors. In the early stages of a disease, patients may feel pain in their lower waists, stiffness, especially when they wake up in the morning or after long breaks. As the condition evolves, the pain gradually spreads upwards to the thorax, cervical vertebrae and even affects the hip, shoulder, etc. In serious cases, the spinal cord is bent and rigid, resulting in restriction of the patient ‘ s activity and even in the respiratory and heart function.
1. Drug treatment – non-polymeric anti-inflammatory drugs: a common drug for the treatment of acute spinal disease that can alleviate pain and inflammation. – Biological agents: For moderately serious patients, biological agents can effectively control the condition and slow the progress of the disease. – Improved rheumatizers, such as nitrous sulfamide, can alleviate joint pain and swelling and improve joint function. 2. Physiotherapy – motor therapy: Appropriate exercise can enhance muscle strength, improve joint activity and prevent joint rigidity and malformation. Patients can choose low-intensity sports such as swimming, yoga, Tai Chi. – Thermal therapy: heat dressing, hot springs, etc., can promote blood circulation and relieve pain and muscle stress. – Massage: can relax muscles, relieve pain and promote local blood circulation. Surgery – For patients with severe spinal malformations, surgical treatment such as spinal orthotics may be considered.
1. To remain in good position – to stand up with a strong chest and to avoid bending on the back. – When sitting, choose a chair with a back to maintain the normal physiology of the spine. – When sleeping, choose a hard-bed and avoid using soft mattresses. 2. Rational diet – Increased intake of foods rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, such as skinny meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, fresh vegetables and fruit. – Avoid consumption of spicy, greasy, irritating foods, and stop smoking and drinking. 3. Psychological regulation – Strong vertical spinal disease is a chronic disease, and the treatment process may be lengthy and difficult. Patients need to remain positive and optimistic and build confidence in overcoming disease. – Stress can be reduced and emotions regulated by participating in social events, reading books, listening to music, etc.
Patients with a direct spinal column need to be regularly reviewed at the hospital in order to keep abreast of changes in the condition and to adjust the treatment programme. The items reviewed included blood protocol, blood sank, C reaction protein, liver and kidney function, spinal column and joint X-rays. In short, although it is a serious disease, through proper patient education, patients can better understand and respond to the disease. Under the guidance of a doctor, patients can choose the appropriate treatment, take care of the details of their daily lives, maintain a good mentality, and review on a regular basis, in order to effectively control the situation and improve the quality of life. Let us work together to contribute to the health and well-being of people living with direct spina syndrome.
