Back pain - causes and treatment

Pain in the back

The spread of scientific and technological progress is directly proportional to the deterioration of the health of many people.On the one hand, it is good that computers and other electronic devices do a lot of work.On the other hand, people become less mobile from year to year, more often in a seated position and the modern rhythm of life leaves almost time to sport.These and many other factors contribute to the development of diseases of the movement apparatus system, whereby the main symptom is back pain.

As statistics show, back pain occurs in 90% of the world's population!

Consider this symptom in more detail and find out how you can relieve back pain.

Dorsalgia - what is it?

Back pain (dorsalgia)It is one of the most common types of pain in the human body, which is only in frequency of only migraines.

And if the pain in the muscles (myalgia) or joints (arthralgia) are more often associated with infectious diseases and sprains, back pain can still be under small side factors, for example hypothermia.

Why does that happen?Why does the back hurt more often than other parts of the body (with the exception of the head, as we said).It is about a large number of nerve fibers that pierce the spine.In the middle of the spine, the spinal cord goes off from which an extensive branching of the components of the nervous system occurs, and the nerve roots come from almost all vertebrae, and when at least one of them is clamped, the person immediately feels the pain in the back.

In addition, the nerve endings that are linked and take part in the functionality of every internal organ come out before each vertebrae.For this reason, many patients complain about pain in the back and kidneys, in the back and in the ribs, back and heart, etc.

When the spine is twisted, a person received a back injury, increased a very severe thing or simply has a weak cuscular cuscular corset, which is why the entire load does not go into the muscles during the movements, but only on the bones, these nerve fibers are pressed and the person feels bastards in the back (lumbaga pain).Pain) The endings are constantly pressed) or the nerve is cold.

The conclusion can be drawn that problems with the cervical vertebrae pain in the neck area or in the upper part of the thoracic region, pain between the shoulder blades and the heart can cause, but if the vertebrae can already harm vertebrae, pain in the kidneys and other organs of the genitator system can occur.

Hypodynamics is the cause of back pain

The causes of back pain

Now we will look at the main reasons why the back often hurts:

1. Diseases of the spine and other elements of the musculoskeletal system:

Osteochondrosis-The disease, characterized by degenerative-dystrophic damage to the intervertebral discs, according to which the tissues of the vertebrae themselves are involved in the pathological process, which leads to a violation of the motor function of them.

Kyphosis-The pathological process in the spine, characterized by its curvature in the front of the level, which normally occurs in the area of the chest area.In the simple people, "Gorb" is called "Buckeled".

Scoliosis- The pathological process in the spine, characterized by its lateral curvature, right/left or both sides.

Lordosis- The natural bend of the spine, especially visible in the lumbar region.But with "pathological lordosis" this curve protrudes in the front direction, and the attitude of the person remembers as if it had been pulled forward.

Spondylolistz- The disease of the spine, which is characterized by the shift of the vertebra, is actually the subluxation of the vertebra, which can lead to curvature of the entire spine due to the lack of proper treatment (kyphosis, scoliosis, lordosis).

Spondylitis Ankylosans -A chronic genetic inflammatory disease of the spine, in which sacred and illegal joints, vertebral joints and paravertebral soft tissue are affected, which ultimately leads to the scraping of vertebrae and impairment of the natural mobility of the spine.

Intermediate hernia- A pathological process in which the intervertebral disc is thinner under the pressure and protrudes outside the intervertebral disc.

osteoporosis- Bone disease, characterized by a decrease in his density.The bones become more fragile and susceptible to injuries.Usually caused by hormonal restructuring in the female body, especially after menopause.

Osteomyelitis- Astular damage to the bone marrow, which leads to melting bone tissue.

2. Diseases of the spinal cord:

As we said, the spinal cord goes through the spine and connects the brain and other organs, systems.On diseases of the spinal cord or the fact that it is pathologically influenced by:

  • Radiculitis;
  • Myelitis;
  • Craumatic of the spine column, which leads to a violation of blood supply or the innp rectification of the spine;
  • Trauma of the spine;
  • Abscesses;
  • Oncological diseases;
  • Lack of vitamins B6, B12, B1 (are responsible for maintaining the functioning of the nervous system), copper;
  • HIV infection;
  • Syphilis;
  • Scattered sclerosis.

3 .. Diseases of the muscle tissue of the back:

  • Fibromyalgia;
  • Polymiositis;
  • Myofascial syndrome;
  • Rabbomyolysis;
  • Rheumatic polymyalgia;
  • Abscess;
  • Charcot-Mari-Tuta disease (SMT, hereditary motor sensory neuropathy, NMSN).

4. Other diseases, conditions and disadvantageous factors that lead to back pain

Diseases of the cardiovascular system aorta aneurysm.

Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract -pancreatitis, cholecystitis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, enterocolitis, gallstone (housing and community services).

Diseases and disease of genitourinary - pyelonephritis, glomerulonephritis, urolithiasis (ICD), kidney disease (PCB), adnexitis, endometriosis, prostatitis, menstruation, climate.

Mental disorders - stress, depression, neurosis, neurasthenia.

Benign and malignant tumors (cancer).

The body beats - often leads to a cold of the nerves of the back and its pain.

Bad or incorrectly selected mattress, pillows - become the guilty of back pain after sleep.

Strong physical work in connection with the lifting of weights - often leads to vertebral difficulties, intermediate vertical hernia and other spine diseases.

A sedentary lifestyle (hypodynamy) that leads to weakness and atrophy of muscle tissue of the back and pain in them.In fact, a person is initially supported when walking muscles, but with weakness, the entire load does not go into the muscles, but to the spine, which leads to his wear and back in the back.Mostly office workers, IT specialists suffer from hypodynamies.

Obesity - excess weight also loads your back when walking.Place in the backpack for the 6 2 -liter water bottle and go around the house on your back, take daily tasks (washing dishes, sweepers or vacuum cleaners, dust fipers).Then remove as sensations?Imagine now that a person with excess weight has such a backpack every second of his life, and some people carry the additional 15, 20, 30 kg on themselves!Weight loads almost all organs and systems, we carry them out.

Pregnancy is another cause of pain in the back.

The causes of back pain depending on nature

Acute and chronic pain in the back of a painful nature- Myositis, lumbago, stretching of the back muscles, uncomfortable sleeping place, hypothermia, improper lifting large weights, unpleasant workplace (chair, table height), displacement of intervertebral discs, osteochondrosis.

Pain in the back of a swarm- Myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, hypertensive crisis, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, gallstone disease, pancreatitis.

The causes of back pain depending on its localization

Back pain to the right-Scoliosis, displacement or hernia of intervertebral discs, gastrointestinal diseases, liver diseases, inflammation of the right kidney (nephritis), inflammation of the right ovary (oophoret), the presence of stones in the kidneys, myositis, neuritis, excessive physical activity, hearing trees and back injuries.

Back pain left- Osteochondrosis.Lumbago, displacement or hernia of intervertebral discs, radiculite, pneumonia, bronchitis, intercostal neuralgia, myocardial infarction, stomach -intestinal disease, splenomegaly, prostatitis, inflammation of the left kidney (nephritis), inflammation of the left eavuation (oopher).

The pain lies under the lower back- Osteochondrosis, spondyl arthrosis, scoliosis, displacement or hernia of intervertebral discs, adnexitis, muscle stretching, menstruation.

Pain along the entire spine- Osteochondrosis, scoliosis, kyphosis, pathological lordosis, protrusion of vertebrae, intervertebral hernia, osteoarthritis, myalgia, spondylosis, radiculitis, ankylosion spondylitis, trauma for spine.

Pain in the area of blades:

  • If there hurts under the right shovel, there may be guilty - cholecystitis, pancreatitis, hepatitis, cirrhosis, gallstone disease, vegetovascular dystonia (VSD), intercostal neuralgia, osteochondrosis of cervical or thoracic region, osteomyelentis, kyphosis.
  • If it hurts under the left spatula, it can be a heart attack, angina pectoris, pericarditis, myocarditis, endocarditis, pleuritis, pneumonia, abscess, spondylose, osteochondrosis of cervical or thoracic, myositis, intercostal neuralgia, vsd, kyphosis, scoliosis, scoliosis, scoliosis, scoliosis, scoliosisGive scoliosis, scoliosis, scoliosis, scoliosis, skost algies, VSD, kyphosis, scoliosis.

Back pain - symptoms that often accompany dorsalgia

  • Dizziness, especially with a sharp turn of the head or when climbing from a seated position;
  • The periodic appearance of "flying" in front of the eyes, darker in the eyes, until the loss of consciousness;
  • Headache;
  • Dust in the fingers, legs, hips, buttocks;
  • Weakness in the arms, legs, general weakness, discomfort, quick loss of strength, a feeling of collapse and no rash.
  • A burning feeling or tingling in the arms and legs;
  • Pain after the sternum in the muscles, joints, stomach;

  • Fast or rare urination;
  • When urinating or defecating, sensitivity is reduced;
  • Fixed back (lumbago);
  • Heavy in the shoulders;
  • Change of attitude, gait.

Diagnosis of back pain

Under the examination methods used in dorsalgy, differ:

  • Visual examination of the back, palpation, complaints, anamnesis;
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI);
  • Computer tomography (CT);
  • Radiography (X -Ray);
  • Electromyography (EMG);
  • General and biochemical blood test.
Massage of muscle tissue against back pain

How do I relieve back pain?Treatment with dorsalgia

The treatment of back pain should mainly be based on the treatment of the underlying disease, which provoked dorsalgy.If this is an ordinary hypothermia, easy rubbing or a warm bathroom relaxes the muscles and the pain will go by itself.With osteochondrosis or other diseases, however, simple warming only has a temporary effect.

The treatment of dorsalgy is therefore symptomatic, while the treatment of the underlying disease can differ significantly.

Consider the basic methods and medication that helps relieve back pain.

1. Medicines for back pain

Non -steroidal anti -inflammatory medication (NSAIDS)- The main group of anti -inflammatory and pain relievers that take the main niche in the treatment of inflammatory diseases and pain syndromes.The only disadvantage of some medicines from the NSAIDS group (NSAID) is its negative effect on the mucosal membranes of digestion, which can cause peptics and internal bleeding for longer use.

Some of them can have an inadequate analgesic effect.

In the form of release and methods of using the NSAIDs, I exist in the form of tablets, ointments, gels and injections.

Narcotics analgesics- They are used for severe acute back pain that can accompany oncological diseases.They are made exclusively behind the doctor's recipe after we have weighed all the advantages and disadvantages.

Musorelaxants- A group of drugs that have the ability to relax the body muscles, and thus relieve the cramming and pain in the muscles, their restriction.After all, it is the stretching of the movement of restricted/confined muscle tissue causes its pain.

B -Vitamine (B6, B1, B12)- Take a direct part of the education and functioning of the nervous system of living organisms, both people and representatives of the animal world.For this reason, your combination of neurological diseases appears in the foreground.The additional intake of this vitamins helps to gently relieve inflammation from muscle tissue, relax muscles, reduce pain.

2. Injections of back pain

Acute back pain is successfully removed with injections from NSAIDs, civil code or blockade injections.

If everything is clear with anti -inflammatory and hormones anti -inflammatory hormones, the effect of the "blockade" is based on the intercept of the pain pulse by damaging the brain, so that the person does not feel the pain, since the signal does not reach the center, the interpretation of the information.Therapeutic blockages are given in trigger points of the pain zone.

This also means relaxing muscle tissue and removing your convulsive and pain.

Injections can be made subcutaneously, intraderally or by a catheter muscles.

3 .. Physiotherapeutic remedies for back pain

Storage electronic eastimulation (Chens)- The method of anesthesia by electrical stimulation (stimulation) with a special apparatus of sensory nerves.

Magnetic therapy- It helps to gently relieve inflammation, improve muscle mobility and vertebrae, as a magnetic field with a low frequency has a low frequency.

Laser therapy- The pain relief occurs due to the effects on the pathological zones of rays of light from red, infrared or ultraviolet spectrum.It is used for almost all diseases of the spine, accompanied by pain.

Electrophoresis- The introduction of drugs is under the influence of small electrical impulses, which extends the advantageous effect of therapeutic substances.

Phonophoresis- The method is similar to electrophoresis, only medication is administered with the support of ultrasound.

Medical sports lessons (training therapy)- also one of the effective ways to relieve chronic back pain.As we have already said, sitting work and generally hypodynamics lead to the weakness of the back muscles, which is why the entire load falls on the spine when walking and other body actions, which is wrong.The whole load should come to the muscles of the back and other organs.Therefore, the lectured physical activity using specially selected exercises enables the tone of the muscle tissue, which reduces the spine.People who started to deal with physical education say that walking has become much easier.

Just make sure that we talk about the right training therapy!Even dumbbells and they have to be raised properly and not how it is hit.Banal squats should also be exposed to a straight back and a bend in the knee joints at the right angle.There is an opportunity to set a specially trained fitness trainer.

massage- It helps to lift muscle tissue, but without lifestyle changes, the massage only has a short -term effect.

You can also use to wear fastening straps/corsets to develop the right body position, for example when working in a seated position.The fixation with such devices is used after the return injury or a surgical intervention in the spine.

4 .. Surgical treatment of back pain

The operation on the back is carried out when there is signs of behavior, which can be attributed:

  • The presence of swan bebral hernia when you clamp the spinal cord (myelopathy) or the nerve root of the spine (radiculopathy);
  • Craumatic of the spine - scoliosis, kyphosis, pathological lordosis;
  • Spinal violation.

After treatment

After treating the underlying disease, pain syndrome in the back can still be available for some time, so

Devices for physiotherapy treatment are installed in such centers, the massage is prescribed, exercises are selected and if necessary, a special diet of the diet is prescribed.

Ton and salt - folk remedies for back pain

Folk remedy for back pain

Be sure to contact your doctor before treatment!

Clay.Clay has been used for more than a hundred years to treat many diseases and the back is no exception.There is even the term "mud and mud" in which sound can also be used.For the production of an anti -fiber agent that is successfully used by popular healers for radiculitis, you have to mix 100 g blue or green tone with 500 ml of apple or wine vinegar.Tone can be bought in a pharmacy.Heat a sound mix of up to 38 degrees in a ceramic shell and apply it to the place of radiculitis.Wrap the body of the body with a dietary film or polyethylene and wrap yourself on a warm cloth with a wool scarf.The duration of the compress is 1 hour.After rinsing the sound with warm water, wipe the body of moisture and tie this place with a warm scarf.The course of treatment is three times a day within 2 weeks.

Ton, aloe, honey.The next remedy is suitable for the treatment of osteochondrosis and intermediate residents.Mix 100 g green or blue tone, 600 ml of warm water, 1 teaspoon of aloe juice and 1 teaspoon of natural honey.Apply the resulting mixture to the painful area, wrap it on it with adhesive film and wrap it in with a warm wool scarf.The duration of the compress is 1 hour.After rinsing the mixture with warm water and wrap the area with a warm scarf.The course is three times a day within 2 weeks.With allergies to honey you can do without it.

Frankish and apple cider vinegar.How do you quickly remove acute pain in the lower back?The next remedy will help do this in 3 days.Mix 50 g of frankincense and 50 ml of apple cider vinegar for cooking.In a solution, moisten a piece of simple X/B (folded in several layers) or wool fabric and attach it to the back pain as a compress on the lower back or in another place.Wrap the surface with a wool scarf and wear it dry.Make such a compress 2 times a day.

Wool and salt.Compresses with salt help to pull a pathological liquid out of the body, relieve inflammation, to stop pain.The wool of the sheep has excellent warming and healing status.The combination of wool + salt in dorsalgy is simply excellent.Loosen 200 salt grams in hot water so that the solution is very salt and give a fabric or a shaft of sheep wool for an hour so that it wins salt.Then press the fabric and dry.Tie a painful area together and keep it on yourself for a few weeks.

Dandelion tincture.It is used as a means of rubbing the back.For cooking, pour a liter of fresh dandelion flowers of 500 ml vodka.Close firmly with a lid and give a dark, cool place to pass and shake the glass every day.Grate the aching joints or back with tincture up to 4 times a day.

Back pain prevention

To avoid dorsalgy, adhere to the following recommendations:

  • If you move more, do not let them wear additional pounds.
  • When you sit, let yourself go from the workplace once an hour to improve blood circulation, especially in places where it was not enough due to the sitting.
  • If you lift the heavy ones, do it correctly - with a flat back and of course, especially for young people, not for yourself, even if you have the strength to do so, since the consequences of life in the event of injuries can make a significant effort.
  • If you wear heavy things, such asB. packages from the store, distribute the weight of 2 hands so that there is no distortion on one side.
  • If you go or sit, do it with a flat back, don't bend down.
  • Take care carefully for the choice of a work chair and a sleeping mattress/pillow, you should be exposed to an orthopedic effect and ensure that you select and body weight in height and body weight.
  • Garbage with high shoes, especially boys, with high shoes, when there is acute pain in the back, almost always sounds in my head - "what I thought in my youth" is now vigilant, take care of your health.
  • Try to swim more, this is a wonderful preventive and therapeutic means when it comes to obtaining diseases and pathologies of the spine.
  • In the event of the first back pain, consult a doctor because if the disease occurs, you can carry out simple training therapy and rubbing, and if the process is started, surgery may be necessary.
  • Eat more foods in food that are rich in vitamins and minerals.
  • Do not buy your child backpack or a bag to wear your shoulder, because in childhood this is a direct way to osteochondrosis, scoliosis.
  • Do not roll attractions with a large shake body at high speed such as a water banana or a water panel, since such a conversation very often ends with a fracture of the vertebra, the intervertebral disc and other injuries/diseases of the spine.
  • Exclude alcohol and smoke from her life.
