1. What is a lumbar disc?

2. What causes a lumbar disc?

Improper postures, such as leaning on a couch, crossing legs, carrying stuffs only in one hand, playing one-direction-focused bowling, tennis or golf, and reading or watching TV, books, computer and smart phones in a wrong posture, can cause a lumbar disc. These days, tensions from getting stresses also cause pains on the waist. In terms of constitutional types, Soeumin can get a waist disc due to a person’s cool body, Soyangin and Taeyangin can have a waist disc because of an anger or vigor, and Taeeumin also has a possibility of a waist disc for his or her humidity and vigor of the body.

3. What are the symptoms of a lumbar disc?

It shows some symptoms like great pains on the waist, knee, ankle and calf, and also the person feels as if he has strained legs. And in the worse case, one with a lumbar disc cannot even walk and bend his waist.

4. How can you diagnose your lumbar disc?

1) Self Diagnosis

You can diagnose your lumbar disc at home by yourself. First, lie on the floor straightly and stretch the legs, then lift a right and left leg one by one without bending the knees. If you do not have a disc problem, you can lift up to 80 degrees. But having a disc, you will feel strained legs even before lifting under 70 degrees, and if the degree you can lift up your legs is lower than that, it means you have more serious status of a lumbar disc.

2) DITI (Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging) Diagnosis and Spine/Pelvis Analysis for treatment without operations

It is necessary to diagnose through DITI (Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging) and X-rays of the spine and the whole body which are taken at a standing position. In order to find out the actual spot of pains, it is required to analyze rises and falls of temperature of the painful area by using DITI. The theory of analyzing temperatures of the body through DITI is to regard certain parts with extremely high or extremely low temperature as spots with focuses. And when comparing left and right, if it shows a difference between the two, at least one part has a focus of disease. In terms of a lumbar disc, when comparing both sides of hips and the lower body, you can see the area, pressed by a disc, shows 1 or 2 degree lower temperature than the other part, which is a place with a disc.

3) DITI (Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging) Diagnosis and Spine/Pelvic Analysis for treatment without operations

By taking X-rays of jaw joint, cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae and pelvis, it is possible to learn about the overall balance of the spine, and also its regression or modification. This process is more important when you try to cure the disc without taking operations. Treating a waist disc requires not only the cure of the waist alone but also diagnosing and treating every part of skull, jaw joint, cervical spine, thoracic spine, lumbar spine, shoulder blade, pelvis, hip joint and bottom of feet.

4) The Sole of Feet Diagnosis

It is a diagnosis by investigating and analyzing conditions of the sole of each foot. It is also necessary to control flat feet, tiptoe and dissymmetry of right and left foot to straighten the spite and to cure cervical and lumbar discs.

5) MRI and CT Diagnosis

In order to clearly understand the status of a disc, CT and MRI are needed. These are used for analyzing status, rupture and other conditions of a disc, and also for checking up the patient’s condition before taking an operation.

It is a comprehensive method by using all DITI (Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging), X-ray analysis of spine for body correction, and external body balance check-up. In terms of a body shape analysis, a patient needs to take off his clothes. For checking up a front of a body, measuring balance on both ears, shoulders, shoulder blades, elbows, pelvis and etc. is required. And for checking up a side of a body, measuring the depth of both ears, shoulders, pelvis, and knees are forwarded to the front or to the back is necessary, and then comparing those figures with the balance of spine needs be proceeded.

5. Body Types related with Waist Disc

Waist disc is not a problem only for spines. There are complicated relationships among all parts of pelvis, hip joint, thighbone, knees, ankles, feet, length of legs, shoulder blades, head, jaw joint, and also location of a head.

1) Pelvis and Waist Disc

When pelvis are twisted, it affects spines and causes a waist disc in turn. Pelvis could be curved to right-and-left side, and also front-and-back side. It obviously causes many problems on lumbar spine, thoracic spine, and jaw joint.

2) Leg Length and Disc

In the case one looks like having different lengths for his right and left leg, it is very rare that the legs are actually different in length. Instead, it is due to wrong pelvis and twisted hip joint. Therefore, if there is a proper pelvis correction, length of both legs will be the same and also improve severity of a lumbar disc.

3) Others

Jaw joint, skull, head, scapular arch and others can affect a lumbar disc.

6. The Theory of Lumbar Disc Treatment and its Precaution

1) Body Shape Correction and Lumbar Disc

When having a lumbar disc, if the spine is straightened, there will be no pain. Of course, there are some exceptional cases when the spine has modification or degeneration. That is, if one has a recommendable life with straight posture, there is no reason for having a lumbar disc, which means having a right posture back can also cure a lumbar disc problem.

2) Right Posture and lumbar Disc

Guessing from the cases that people watch TV, read a book or drive, it seems hard to have a right posture. Especially, people living in the contemporary era use computers for work and entertainment a lot, so drop their heads very often and the heads are forwarded in turn, causing many problems on lumbar spine and cervical spine. Also, improper walking like toeing out can bring a lumbar disc, hence, walking properly in 11-shaped-style will also prevent lumbar disc problems.

The entire treatment spends 1 month to 1.5 months.

2) Body Shape Variation and Disc Treatment Check-Up

After getting treatment for twelve times, the program takes pictures of patients’ improved body shapes and compares the previous disc pains with the new ones. It turned out that a twelve-time-treatment can bring improvement on cervical disc, lumbar disc, scapulalgia, arthralgia for up to 80 to 90%. And also, after the twelve-time-treatment, there have been changed on Turtle Neck, Dowager’s Hump, Straight Neck, D-Shaped Neck, Scoliosis, O-Shaped Legs and X-Shaped Legs with pain relief.

8. Disc Problems based on Sasang Constitutional Types

1) Soeumin

The body temperature around Bladder of this type is cold and also blood circulation is not smooth. Hence, Soeumin has many possibilities of having a lumbar disc, and also a high probability to have a cervical disc due to strains from getting stresses.

2) Soyangin

The type has a weak lower body, having a high probability of a lumbar disc, and vigor and anger come upward to upper body greatly, so causing a possibility of a lumbar disc too.

3) Taeeumin

9. Similar Ailment relevant to Lumbar Disc

4) Forwarded to the front Spine

It is caused when breaking a balance between the front and the back of a body. The upper spine with the symptom tries to go forward to the front and the lower spine tries to resist it, so it causes great pains.

5) Spinal Canal Stricture

It happens when there is a continual pressure or piling foreign materials on a spinal canal, where spine nerves go down, and a nerve’s path stretching from spinal nerves to arms, legs and the internal organs and the bowels. It also happens when spinal bones are excessively developed or tavern is swollen or loses its function, so the spinal canal is narrowed.

6) Degenerative Spine

When pressures on spines happen through various reasons including carrying heavy stuffs, physically hard working, having bad postures, bones are trying to grow up and protect the waist. So eventually, it leads to Degenerative Spine, which has a similar symptom with a disc pressing nerves down to legs.

10. Way to Prevent Lumbar Disc

1) Understand one’s own body shape.

2) Properly sit followed by one’s own pelvis shape. A person with duck-looking hips with a forwarded pelvis to the front has to sit making his coccyx down and a little bit further to the back. In the case of pelvis is tilted to the back, make a duck-looking hips to sit down.
