Dr. Lin Yunfei
This condition is caused by degeneration of the articular cartilage. With increasing age, the body's cellular physiological functions gradually decline. It is important to perform more functional exercises for the waist to improve lumbar spine stability, and to avoid prolonged sitting, bending, heavy physical labor, cold exposure, and other unfavorable conditions. Patients are advised to strengthen their back and abdominal muscle exercises and ensure adequate rest.
