Back pain is an inevitable phenomenon that we encounter in our lives sooner or later. Even if you are not sleepers stacker or loader, not a woman carries home a lot of daily pound bags, not the Amateur gardener working in the garden at his dacha in the spring sowing period, and athlete weight lifter pain can not be avoided anyway. You can only wonder seems to be sitting, not straining the whole day at the computer, practically nothing to load, but by the end of the day began to ache and lower back discomfort occurs in the neck, shoulder area and shoulders. What's the matter? Why not a cause of back pain?
Why back pain and how to deal with it
Shock wave therapy is one of the most effective treatments for back pain of different origin. The main advantage of this technique is considered quick relief from the pain syndrome. Only 4-5 sessions, you can forget about the problem. We offer you to see how the treatment of back pain shock wave therapy medical centers in Moscow.
In fact, the causes of back pain are many. And the first of them was anatomical. The core design of many links, when upright, is very delicate: it is through the longitudinal (compressive) and transverse loads. To be strictly vertical, it can only be in a state of tension, that is, if it ends it will tie the strings and pull them — the web is simple, and it is the springs let go — take a shaky, crooked.
Something about this reminds me of the spine: it performs the role of the Central core of this remarkable bio-design — the human body, and the role of tightening threads to make the back muscles. Now, imagine that the rod still attached and the body with all its internal organs, so poor fibers-the muscles need to withstand not only the weight of the spine of the rod, but the weight of the whole body, and is constantly.
Unwittingly come to the conclusion that, indeed, God planned first Homo erectus, because of the "payment bipedalism" is pretty prohibitive. Open any medical reference to the section "diseases of the musculoskeletal system," to verify this.
The most common causes of back pain
However, note that when there is a bad back, then you have surely something is seriously sick, is not worth it. More than 80% of back pain can occur from time to time, for the following reasons:
- muscle strain due to physical exertion
- long-term exposure to the spine in the same posture during sleeping, sitting at the computer, transport, etc.
- hypothermia is behind the draft, in front of the air conditioner, when leaving the hot room with fresh cool air, cold bathing.
- old previously acquired and poorly healed injuries (sprains, bruises)
Much less back pain reasons really serious illnesses. What could be the reason? They are the most versatile, and are not always associated with damage to the spine segments and the ensuing diseases.
It happens that a person is sick the body, and experience pain radiating to the back, for example:
- when the kidney patients, the pain radiates to the lower back
- gynecological diseases in women, pain may radiate to the lumbosacral
- in the presence of the tumor, the pain may radiate to certain parts of the back
Therefore, before treatment of back pain is necessary to first create its real causes, that is, to make a thorough diagnosis of the presence of other possible diseases.
Chronic back pain
Always be on the alert, chronic pain, which is present in almost always periods of remission. It is possible that the reason why it can be such ailments:
- Lower back pain due to degenerative changes in the tissue of the spinal disc
- Scoliosis — curvature of the lead to disc displacement, and damage to these nerve roots
- Disc herniation with access to drive its core into the spinal cord or (even worse) in the direction of the spinal cord
- Spondylolisthesis — slipping of the upper vertebra lower, as a result of deformation of the foot vertebrae, causing the spine becomes like a ladder exposed treads
- Bechterew's disease (ankylosing spondylitis), inflammation of the ligaments and joints, which leads to their immobilization. It mainly affects men. The risk of this rare disease, its continuous development — gradually capture the spine on the internal organs: lungs, kidneys, heart, blood vessels, organs of vision.
- Cancer — a tumor on the spine can be primary, but most often occurs in the form of metastases in other organs. The percentage of the total number of cause about one per cent.
- Spinal cord infection — tuberculosis, osteomyelitis, syphilis and other diseases as the cause of the pain are especially rare (about 0.01%)
- Compression fractures — a disease, unfortunately, relatively common (about 4%). Youth occurs mainly in athletes, because of the excessive load and injuries, old— age, because phenomena, due to which the vertebrae no longer withstand self weight of the person.
- Muscle pain is a chronic, due to the continuous hypothermia, inflammation of the muscle tissue
In all cases, after treatment the pain and inflammation, you need to deal with the underlying disease that caused the pain.
Type back pain: causes and treatment
The most effective pain relief back:
- Medical gymnastics (exercises for back pain)
- Laser MLS (after 2. session the pain goes away)
- Hivamat (a unique treatment that relieves the pain immediately, but it should be like 2-3 times.)
The nature of the pain can pre-determine its cause and prescribe appropriate treatment.
Acute pain (lumbago) — may have the following reasons:
- Complications of scoliosis — pinched nerve-the result of the disc displacement
- Osteohondroznye deformation of the vertebrae and compression of the nerve root herniated discs
- Spondylolisthesis and other diseases
- The trauma and injuries received as a result of fall in this case, you may have not only conservative but also surgical treatment.
- Diseases of the internal organs.
The diagnosis is of great importance in determining back pain:
Sharp pains may be due to:
- kidney stones
- exacerbations of intestinal diseases
- inflammation of the ureter
- rupture of the cyst in women and other diseases
Girdle pain is a very serious signal, such as possible diseases:
- pyelonephritis
- exacerbation of pancreatitis
- stones in the gallbladder
- myocardial infarction
- rupture of the esophagus
- aneurysm of the lower aorta.
If back pain blades, it can mean:
- neuro-muscular myopathy and paralysis of adjacent muscle of the blades, leads to the development of the so-called "winged" scapula
- osteomyelitis developed after open injuries
- benign and malignant sarcomas blades
- myocardial infarction
- aneurysm of thoracic aorta
Pain under left shoulder blade sharp is also very disturbing, because it indicates such diseases:
- myocardial infarction
- perforated ulcer of the stomach
- intercostal neuralgia
Sharp pain in the upper part of the back:
- pneumothorax (penetration of light)
- pleurisy (accumulation of fluid in the lungs)
- cancer of the lung and bronchus
- the attack cholecystitis — the pain is concentrated under the ribs on the right and in the epigastric region, but its impact is large: the right scapula and shoulder, the hand, the left side of the sternum
- an attack of acute pancreatitis — the pain experienced under the left shoulder blade, the chest on the left and heart
Such an impressive diagnosis to say only one thing: when back pain sharp pain, go immediately to the doctor self-treatment is unacceptable.
Acute pain (sciatica) — a sharp dagger of pain in the lumbosacral (sciatic), often radiating to the buttocks and legs may be due to:
- a pinched sciatic nerve due to degenerative disc disease, disc herniation and displacement of intervertebral disc, spinal stenosis
- inflammation of the sciatic nerve as a result of hypothermia
- spasm of the piriformis muscle
- infectious diseases and tumors
- late pregnancy
Acute pain caused by progressive diseases of the spine, such as scoliosis, osteochondrosis and other, as well as their complications, should be carried out in a generally accepted system:
The first is a medical treatment to remove acute pain and inflammation:
- taking pain, non-steroidal or steroid-anti-inflammatory drugs and muscle relaxants
Then, of course, medication, improve brain function, nervous system and circulatory system
After directly treating the underlying cause of pain osteochondrosis, hernia, spondylosis and other ailments:
- the restoration of the destroyed bone tissue protect you
- physiotherapy, massage, physiotherapy
In the most severe cases, to remove trapped to resort to surgery, however, this rarely happens.
Nagging back pain — most often in the lower back can cause of the following reasons:
- Lumbosacral osteochondrosis, spondylosis and other spinal pathology in the chronic stage
- Inflammation of the lumbar muscles (myositis)
- Adnexitis (inflammation of the appendages) in women)
- Heavy exercise
- Long awkward pose
- Old injuries, often nagging "weather"
In each case, the treatment difference. Combines both medicinal herbs and folk treatments. For example:
- muscle pain and treatment with dry heat, wearing a belt of dog hair
- when adnexitis long used decoctions of the specific multi-component herbal
Pain athletes and because of the wave may be due to over-training, heavy lifting and sharp turns and inclinations of the body, which becomes rigid. In this case, the treatment is simple exercises, relaxation and stretching the muscles:
- Need to lie down on the couch on his side, tucked under the head and between the legs of the pillow
- Then lie down on the floor and hug your knees, pull them towards your chest
- Lie on your side, stretch your legs at a right angle to the body and resting his hands behind the head, tilt the head to the stomach
- Then, to maintain on your side, straighten and bend the top leg at the knee, pulling it closer to his stomach. The upper hand take the back and lower under the head. Now try the same time as the shoulder blades and the knee of the bent leg touches the floor
Treatment can be supplemented, when after exercise by rubbing gels and creams, and massage, it is also very relaxing pulled muscles and soothe the pain.
Summarizing all the above, we can draw the following conclusions:
- Treatment of acute pain should be performed only by a doctor, the moment of their occurrence. Do not put yourself diagnosis.
- Get the help you need as quickly as possible, because of the potentially dangerous to health, and perhaps life cause.
- Chronic pain, the nature of which you already know that you can handle at home, which is used as medicine, and folk remedies. However, the control of the doctor must still be, as well as the designation of special physiotherapeutic procedures, massage, exercise therapy and other treatments.
Health to you and may the pain of your life is less!
