Part 2. 요추 추간판 탈출증 (Lumbar Disc Herniation)

척추뼈 사이사이에 위치해 있는 허리디스크(추간판)는 몸의 하중을 분산시키는 쿠션역할을 하고 허리를 잘 움직일 수 있도록 도와줍니다. 허리디스크는 젤리와 같은 수핵이 안쪽에 위치해 있고 그 수핵을 여러겹 감싸고 있는 더 단단한 섬유륜으로 구성 되어 있습니다. 잘못된 자세와 생활습관 등으로 인해 허리가 반복적으로 스트레스를 받게 되면 디스크 압력이 증가하고 디스크 내부는 사방으로 균일하게 하중을 분산시킬 수 없게됩니다.

Do you know the Acronyms PEACE & LOVE for Soft Tissue Injuries?

Find The English Translation Version Below

筋肉や靭帯などの怪我をした後に一般的に行われているのはRICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation)かもしれませんが、PEACE and LOVEと呼ばれる新しいコンセプトが紹介されました。

はじめに、怪我の後に氷を使うトリートメントはいまだに議論されています。氷は痛みを和らげる効果があるとされていますが、怪我の回復を手伝うという観点において未だに有効な研究結果は出ていません。怪我をして痛みがかなり強い時は最初の20分ほど氷を使うことは有効だと思いますが、そのままただ氷を使い続けていたら、逆に治るのを遅らせてしまう可能性があります。

P: protect
怪我をして１−３日間はさらなる怪我を防ぐ意味でも動くのを控えることが大切になってきます。しかし、休息は最低限にして、あなたが怪我をした箇所の周りの組織（筋肉など）の柔軟性や強さを保つことが大切になってきます。そのため、痛みに応じて怪我をした箇所を動かして行くことが早期回復の鍵となってきます！

E: elevation
循環をよくして、浮腫を防ぐためにも心臓より怪我をした箇所を高くしておくことが推奨されます。

A: avoid anti-inflammatory modalities
炎症反応は怪我の回復を促す役割を果たしています。なので、もしanti-inflammatory medications　（炎症を止める薬）の使用は長い目で見ると回復を遅らせる可能性が考えられます。

C: compression
怪我をした箇所を包帯などで圧迫することで過剰な浮腫を抑え、流れをよくすることが回復に有効となってきます。

E: educate
これは基本的に我々医療職の役割になってきます。怪我をした後に適切な情報を得ることで不必要な治療の時間を抑えることができます。ですので、怪我をした後に早めに我々のところに状態を見せに来ていただくことをお勧めします。

怪我から１日経ったら、あなたの損傷した組織はLOVEを必要としています！！

L: load
症状が許す限り、積極的に怪我をした箇所を動かし始めるのをお勧めします。過剰な痛みがない範囲で動かし、軽い負荷をかけることで炎症反応を促進して、回復を早めます。

O: optimism
いくつかの研究を通して、組織の怪我において、そこまで深刻になりすぎずに過ごした人の方が良い回復をしたという結果が出ています。あなたの回復の過程で、その時その時でやるべきことを焦らずやっていくことが一番良いかと思います。

V: vascularisation
エアロビックエクササイズ（有酸素運動）は血流を良くし、あなたの活動性の保持にもいい役割を果たします。それに加えて、歩いていると気分がリフレッシュされ、精神的にも良い影響が考えられます。

E: exercise
基本的にエクササイズはあなたの柔軟性、筋力、バランス能力を向上させ、将来的な怪我の予防にも一役買っています。一旦痛みが治ったら、簡単な運動から再開することをお勧めします。

長期的に見て、アドバイスを含め適切なトリートメントを回復度合いに見合った状態で受けることが、回復にとても大切になってくると思います。そうしないと、回復に余計な時間がかかってしまう場合もあります。
もし筋肉や靭帯などの組織の怪我をした場合、早めにみせていただけるとより早期からの回復のお手伝いができるかと思います。ですので、お困りの際はご遠慮なく連絡いただけましたら幸いです。

English Translation: Do you know PEACE and LOVE?

After you get soft tissue injuries, commonly you might do RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation). However, recently new concept has been introduced. It is called PEACE and LOVE! Let’s talk about the details!

To start off, there has always been questions about treating damaged soft tissues with ice! The function of ice for the injuries is mainly analgesic but there are no academic research with positive results about ice therapy to boost your recovery. It could be useful just after injuries for the first few hours, if you are in a lot of pain. However, if you would use ice continuously with no pain, it might delay your healing process.

P: protect
You might need to restrict movements for the 1-3 days to prevent further injuries. But I recommend staying away from total and complete rest, otherwise your muscles around the injured areas will lose strength and flexibility. Pain symptoms will tell you when you will start moving your affected part!

E: elevation
Simply keep your injured area above your heart. Your circulation would be optimised which will prevent too much swelling.

A: avoid anti-inflammatory modalities
Inflammation would be helpful to repair your injuries as a reaction, so if you decide to take anti-inflammatory medications, it may prevent your recovery in long term.

C: compression
Compression also helps your circulation, so you can avoid too much swelling. Generally, the use of strapping or bandage is recommended for compression.

E: education
This is a therapist’s or trainer’s role. If you receive proper information about your treatment right after the injuries, you can save time on unnecessary treatments. Thus, come and talk to me (physiotherapist) about a suitable treatment plan!

After the first day, your tissues need LOVE!!

L: load
As soon as your symptoms allow, you should use the area of injury actively. Optimal loading without significant pain would accelerate your inflammation process, which leads to early recovery.

O: optimism
Through some researches, optimism is known to bring better outcomes on the process of tissue recovery. Please do not get too down about your injury. Look forward and try what you can do in each step of your recovery.

V: vascularisation
Aerobic activity like walking can increase blood flow and maintain your fitness condition. In addition, while we are walking, we can refresh our mind, so it would be good for your mental condition!

E: exercise
Exercise can help to improve your mobility, strength and proprioception. Moreover, you can reduce the potential risk of your future injuries with exercise. Once your pain allows, I recommend to start doing some gentle exercises.

In the long term, having proper treatment pathway would be very important for your healing. Otherwise you might take more time for the recovery. Therefore, if you would have any soft tissue injuries, come and see me for your treatment. Ryo Nozawa at Perth Wellness Centre will help you to get the most out of your recovery.
