Types and causes of back pain

The back pain is inevitable phenomenon with which we must face in our life, sooner or later. Even if you do not stacker sleepers, or longshoreman, is not the woman who brings home every day a lot of kg of bags, not the farmer and amateur, working on the bed in his country house in the spring and in the period field, and are not an athlete, not pain, not avoid it anyway. One can only wonder: how to sit, without effort, all day at the computer, it loads almost nothing, but at the end of the day it begins to whine loins, and it occurs pain in the neck, shoulders and in the area of the shoulder blades. What is it about? Because without causes of back pain?

The back pain

Because the back pain and how to treat it

Shockwave therapy — one of the most effective methods of treatment of back pain of different origin. The main advantage of this technique is considered a rapid relief of pain. In just 4-5 sessions to be able to forget his problem. I suggest you read, as is the treatment of back pain with the help of therapy, shock-wave in the medical centres of Moscow.

In reality, the causes of back pain a great series. And the first of them — the anatomic. The educational design of many rings while in the vertical position, very small intestine, it is exposed as a longitudinal (compression), and transverse loads. Be strictly in the vertical is possible only in a state of tension, i.e., if and to the ends of his tie and pulls them — the terminal will be direct, and it is worth the wires to let go — take the fragile, curved view.

Something similar to remember and the spine: the role of the central pivot of this wonderful bio-engineering — the human body and the role to bend the wire running to the muscles of the back. Now imagine that the terminal is still connected, and the body with all its internal organs, and then the poor thread-the muscles need to withstand not only the weight of the vertebral column-terminal, but the weight of the whole body, and constantly.

Involuntarily you come to the conclusion that ' the Creator has conceived initially Homo erectus, because "the fee to walk upright" and you will discover a certain prohibitive. Open any medical reference in the section "Diseases of the musculoskeletal system", to verify this.

The most frequent causes of back pain

However, a time to conclude, once you have back pain, so it is definitely something to seriously ill, it's not worth it. Over 80% of back pain can occur periodically for the following reasons:

  • fatigue of muscles due to strenuous exercise
  • the long spine in the same position during sleep, sitting at the computer, transportation, etc.
  • the cold in the back due to being in the project, in front of the air conditioner, when leaving the hot room cool fresh air, cold bath.
  • old, previously obtained bad healing trauma (sprains, contusions)

Much less back pain for reasons really serious disorders. But what can be the causes? Are the most varied and are not always associated with lesions segments of the vertebral column and resulting disease.

It happens that a person with a diseased organ, and you are experiencing pain along the back, for example:

  • when the sick kidney pain gives in the lower part of the back
  • gynaecological diseases in women, the pain can give in the lumbo-sacral department
  • in the presence of a tumor, the pain can give to these or any other sites back

Therefore, before treatment of back pain prior to the installation of its real causes, namely to make a diagnosis for the presence of other possible diseases.

The chronic back pain

The pain

Should always feel the presence of chronic pain that is present almost always with breaks of remission. It is possible that the causes may be these disorders:

  1. Low back pain, emerged as a result of degenerative changes in the disc tissue
  2. Scoliosis — curvature, with consequent displacement of the disc and injury to their nerve root
  3. Herniated disc — with the release of the disc, the nucleus in the backbone, or (much worse) — on the side of the spinal cord
  4. Spondylolisthesis — the slide top of the vertebra to the lower, resulting in deformation of the legs, the vertebra to which the spine becomes similar to a staircase with steps protruding
  5. Ankylosing Spondylitis (ankylosing) — inflammation of the ligaments and joints, which leads to their immobility. It primarily affects men. The risk of this rare disease in his everlasting way of development — the gradual acquisition of all the departments of the vertebral column before passing to the internal organs: lungs, kidneys, heart, blood vessels, organs of sight.
  6. Neoplastic disease — cancer of the spine may be primary, but occurs most often in the form of metastases in other organs. The percentage of the total number of causes of about one percent.
  7. Infections of the spine — tuberculosis, osteomyelitis, syphilis, and other diseases as causes of pain act especially rarely (approximately 0.01%)
  8. Compression fractures — the disease, unfortunately, is relatively common (around 4%). In her youth she meets, especially in athletes because of excessive workloads and injuries, old age — because of the phenomena, for which the vertebrae stop to bear the weight of the man.
  9. Myalgia — chronic, due to continuous hypothermia, inflammation of the muscle tissues

In all cases, after treatment the pain and inflammation need to start the treatment of the underlying disease, that caused the pain.

The types of back pain: causes and treatment

The most effective relief from back pain:

  1. Medical gymnastics (exercises for back pain)
  2. Laser MLS (already after the 2nd session, the pain goes away)
  3. Hivamat (a procedure that removes the pain once, but you have to do 2-3 times.)

For the nature of the pain you can pre-determine the cause and prescribe the appropriate treatment.

Acute pain (low back pain) — may have the following reasons:

  1. Complications of scoliosis — nerve crush due to shifting of the discs
  2. Osteohondroznye deformation of the vertebrae and compression of the nerve root herniated disc
  3. Spondylolisthesis and other diseases
  4. Injuries and bruises, obtained as a result of falls In this case, it may be necessary to not only conservative but also surgical treatment.
  5. Diseases of the internal organs.

For the diagnosis plays an important role in the definition phase, in which the back pain:

Sharp back pain can be reasons:

  • kidney stones
  • exacerbations of intestinal diseases
  • inflammation of the ureter
  • the rupture of a cyst of women and other diseases

Girdle pain is a very serious signal which indicates which of the possible diseases:

  • pyelonephritis
  • the aggravation of pancreatitis
  • gallstones
  • myocardial infarction
  • rupture of the esophagus
  • aneurysm bottom of the department of the aorta, etc.

If the back pain in the area of the shoulder blades, this can mean:

  • neuro-muscular, myopathy, and paralysis of adjacent blades muscles, causing develops the so-called "pterygoid" shovel
  • osteomyelitis, to complete development after open lesions
  • benign and malignant tumors of sarcoma of blades
  • myocardial infarction
  • the aneurysm of the thoracic aorta

The pain below the left shoulder blade acute, very disturbing, because it testifies of these diseases:

  • myocardial infarction
  • perforative gastric ulcer
  • neuralgia intercostal

Acute pain in the upper regions of the back:

  • pneumothorax (break easy)
  • pleural effusion (accumulation of fluid in the lungs)
  • cancer of the lung and bronchi
  • attack of cholecystitis — when the pain is concentrated under the ribs on the right and epigastric, but his performance is broad: on the right, the shovel and the shoulder, the arm, the left side of the sternum
  • an attack of acute pancreatitis — causes pain under the left shoulder blade, in the area of the left chest and the heart

Equally impressive is the diagnosis says only one thing: when the acute back pain, go, without delay, to the physician — self-treatment here is not valid.

Acute pain (sciatica) — sharp dagger pain in lower back (sciatica), are often sacrificed in the buttock and the leg, can be for one reason:

  • crushing of the sciatic nerve, occurs when an osteochondrosis, hernia, and displacement, herniated disc, stenosis of the spinal canal
  • the inflammation of the sciatic nerve due to hypothermia
  • muscle spasm pear-shaped
  • infectious diseases and cancer
  • subsequent maturities pregnancy

The treatment of all the acute pains caused by progressive diseases of the spine, such as scoliosis, back pain and other, and their complications, must be conducted according to a common schema:

At the beginning there is the pharmacological treatment for the resolution of acute pain and of the inflammatory process:

  • take painkillers, drugs, or steroid anti-inflammatory drugs and muscle relaxants

Therefore, the intake of medications that improve the functioning of the brain, nervous system and circulatory system

Then to treat directly the root cause of the pain — degenerative disc disease, hernia, spondylosis and other disorders:

  • the recovery of destroyed tissues, bone protectors
  • physiotherapy, massage, physical THERAPY

In the most serious cases, to resolve pinch recourse to the operations, but this happens very rarely.

Pull the back pain is most often in the lower part of the back can cause of the following reasons:

  1. Lumbo-sacral back pain, spondylosis and other disorders of the spine in the chronic phase
  2. The inflammation of the lumbar muscles (myositis)
  3. Annessite (inflammation of the appendages) in women)
  4. A great physical effort
  5. The long awkward posture
  6. Old trauma, often annoying "time"
Herbal

In any case, the difference in treatment. Combine like medications and traditional methods of treatment. For example:

  • muscle pain well treated dry heat, put on the belt of dog hair
  • when adnexitis long use of decoctions special multi-component herbal

Pain for athletes, and for the overvoltage protection, — can occur because of re-educating, lifting weights and hairpin bends and gradients of the trunk, for which you experience a muscle spasm. In this case, the treatment is carried out by simple relaxation exercises and stretching the muscles:

  1. You have to lie down on the couch to the side placing under the head and the pillow between the legs
  2. Then lie down on the floor, "up", and, clasping the knees with the hands, tighten the chest
  3. Lying on your side, stretch your legs at a right angle to the body, and, putting his hands on the nape of the neck, tilt the head to the stomach
  4. Then, maintaining the lateral position, straighten and bend the leg at the knee, pulling her closer to the stomach. The upper hand brought behind the back, while the lower part below the head. Now try it at the same time with both shoulder blades and your knees bent feet touch the floor

The treatment can be integrated, after a after the exercise powdering the gel, and ointments, and can also get a massage, it is also well relaxes the back muscles and calm the pain.

To summarize what we have said, it is possible to make the following conclusions:

  1. Treatment of acute pain should be performed only by a doctor from their experience. You should not put yourself diagnosis.
  2. Ask for help you need as quickly as possible because it can dangerous for your health, and can and life, the causes.
  3. The chronic pain, the nature of which is already known, it is possible to treat and in the house with the application as a pharmaceutical, and folk remedies. However, the physician must, however, be, as well as the assignment of special treatments, physiotherapy, massage, physical THERAPY, and other treatment methods.

The health of you and let the pain in your life will be less!
