The spread of scientific and technological progress is directly proportional to the deterioration of many people's health.On the one hand, it is best that computers and other electronic devices began doing a lot of work.On the other hand, people from year to year become less mobile, most often work in a sitting position, and the modern life pace almost leaves time to play sports.These and many other factors contribute to the development of diseases of the skeletal muscular system, whose main symptom is back pain.
As statistics show, back pain appears in 90% of the world's population!
Consider this symptom in more detail and find out how to relieve back pain.
Dorsalgia - what is it?
Back pain (dorsalgia)One of the most common types of pain in the human body, inferior to the frequency of migraines.
And, if pain in the muscles (myalgia) or joints (arthralgia) is most often associated with infectious diseases and sprains, then back pain can still be under adverse factors, for example, hypothermia.
Why is this happening?Why the back hurts more often than other parts of the body (except for the head, as we said).It is all about a large number of nerve fibers piercing the spine.In the center of the spinal column, the spinal cord passes, from which a wide branch of the components of the nervous system occurs, and the nerve roots emerge from almost any vertebrae, and if at least one of them is caught, the person immediately feels pain in the back.
Moreover, in front of each beads, nerve endings emerge, which are connected and participate in the functioning of each internal organ.It is for this reason that many patients complain of back and kidney pain, back and ribs, back and heart, etc.
If the spine is twisted, a person has received a spine injury, raised a very heavy thing, or simply has a weak bone-muscular corset, which is why the whole load during movements does not go to the muscles, but only in the bones, these nerve fibers are squeezed and the person feels the back (lumbago) when the pain is when the back (lumbago).Released from the time it is released.
It can be concluded that problems with cervical vertebrae can cause pain in the cervical region or the upper part of the thoracic region, pain between the shoulders and heart edges, but if vertebral vertebral vertebrae may appear, respectively, pain in the kidneys and other organs of the genitourinary system may occur.
Causes of back pain
Now we will consider the main reasons why the most often pain:
1. Diseases of the spine and other elements of the muscular system:
Osteochondrosis-The spine score, characterized by degenerative damage-catastrophic damage to the intervertebral discs, after which the vertebrae tissue itself is involved in the pathological process, which leads to a violation of their motor function.
Kyfosis-The pathological spine in the back, characterized by its bending at the front of the plane, which usually occurs in the area of the chest region.In the common people it is called "Gorb", "Humpbacked".
Scoliosis- The pathological process in the back, characterized by its side bending, on the right/left or both sides.
Cervical- The natural curve of the spine, especially visible in the lumbar region.But with the "pathological lordosis", this flexion lasts in the front direction, and the person's behavior remembers as if it were drawn.
Spondylolist- spinal cord disease, characterized by vertebral displacement, is, in fact, this is vertebra subluxation, which can, as a result of lack of proper treatment, can lead to the bending of the entire spinal column (kyfosis, scoliosis, lordosis).
Ankylosing spondylit -A chronic genetic inflammatory disease of the spine, in which the sacral and illegal joints are affected, vertebral joints, and soft prevertebral tissue, which eventually lead to the scrap of vertebral column.
Intervertebral hernia- A pathological process in which the intervertebral disc under pressure is thinner and lasts outside the intervertebral space.
Osteoporosis- Bone disease, characterized by a decrease in its density.The bones become more fragile and prone to damage.Usually caused by hormonal restructuring in the female body, especially after menopause.
Osteomyelitis- Purulent damage to the bone marrow, which leads to the melting of bone tissue.
2. Spinal cord diseases:
The spinal cord, as we said, passes through the spinal column, connecting the brain and other organs, systems.In spinal cord diseases, or by the fact that they are pathologically affected by:
- Radiculite;
- Myeli;
- Curvature of the spinal column, which leads to a violation of the blood supply or intrigue of the spine;
- Spinal column trauma;
- Abscesses;
- Oncological diseases;
- Deficiency 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 back muscle tissue:
- Fibromyalgia;
- Polimiosite;
- Myofascial syndrome;
- Rabdomyoliza;
- Rheumatic polymyalgia;
- Abscess;
- Charcot-Mari-Tuta disease (SMT, inherited motor sensual neuropathy, NMSN).
4 other diseases, conditions and adverse factors leading to back pain
Diseases of aneurysm of the cardiovascular-aorta system.
Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract - pancreatitis, cholecystitis, stomach ulcer, duodenal ulcer, enterocolitis, gallstones (shelter and utilities).
Diseases and condition of the genitourinary system - pyelonephritis, glomerulonephritis, urolithiasis (ICD), renal disease (PCB), adnexitis, endometriosis, prostatitis, menstruation, climate.
Disordishes psychological disorders - stress, depression, neurosis, neurasthenia.
Benign and malignant tumors (cancer).
Smoping body - often leads to a cold of the back nerves and its pain.
Poor or incorrectly selected mattress, pillow - become the culprits of back pain after sleep.
Severe physical work associated with lifting weights - often leads to vertebral damage, intervertebral hernia and other spinal diseases.
A sedentary lifestyle (hypodynamia), which leads to weakness and atrophy of back muscle tissue and pain in them.Indeed, initially, a person when walking is supported by muscles, but with weakness, the whole load does not go to the muscles, but to the back, which leads to his ear and back to his back.Mostly office employees, IT specialists suffer in the hypodynamine.
Obesity - excess weight also loads the back when walking.For the experiment, place 6 2 2 -liter water bottles in the backpack and walk with it on your back around the house, take daily tasks (wash dishes, cleaning or vacuum cleaner, dust wiping).Then remove it as a sensation?Now imagine, a person with overweight wears such a backpack every second of his life, and some people hold 15, 20, 30 kg!It loads weight almost all organs and systems, we wear them.
Pregnancy is another cause of back pain.
Causes of back pain depending on its nature
Acute and chronic pain in the back of a painful nature- Myosite, lumbago, posterior muscle extension, unpleasant place of sleep, hypothermia, improper lifting of heavy weights, unpleasant workplace (chair, table height), displacement of intervertebral discs, osteochondrosis.
Acute back pain, giving in limbs- Osteochondrosis, intervertebral hernia, radiculitis, unpleasant position of the body for a long time (bed, workplace).
Pain in the back of a pulsating nature, not passing after receiving sedatives- Lumbago, osteochondrosis, scoliosis, kyfosis, intervertebral hernia, spondylosis, a vertebra.
Pain in the back of a nature that explodes- Myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, pulmonary artery thromboembolism (pulp), intestinal obstruction.
Pain in the back of a press- Myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, hypertensional crisis, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, gallbladder, pancreatitis.
Causes of back pain depending on its localization
Back pain in the right- Scoliosis, displacement or hernia of intervertebral discs, gastrointestinal diseases, liver disease, right kidney inflammation (nephritis), inflammation of the right ovary (oopores), presence of stones in the kidneys, myosite, neuritis, excessive physical activity and damage.
Back pain in the left- Osteochondrosis.Lumbago, displacement or hernia of intervertebral discs, radiculitis, pneumonia, bronchitis, intercostal neuralgia, myocardial infarction, gastrointestinal disease, splenomegaly, prostatitis, inflammation of the left kidney (nephritis), inflammation of the left ovar (oofritis).
Low pain- Radiculitis, osteochondrosis, ankylosing spondylitis, intervertebral hernias, reitera syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, lumbar, tumors, infectious diseases with complications in the back and back muscles.
The pain is under the lower back- Osteochondrosis, spondyllarrosis, scoliosis, displacement or hernia of intervertebral discs, adnexitis, muscle stretch, menstruation.
Pain throughout the spinal column- Osteochondrosis, scoliosis, kyfosis, pathological lordosis, prolongation of vertebrae, intervertebral hernia, osteoarthritis, myalgia, spondylosis, radiculitis, ankylosing spondylitis, trauma to the vertebral column.
Pain in the Blades area:
- If it hurts under the right shovel, there may be culprits - cholecystitis, pancreatitis, hepatitis, cirrha, gallstones, vegetable dystonia (VSD), intercostal neuralgia, osteochondrosis of the cervical region or thoracic, ostomyelitis, scolf.
- If it hurts under the left shoulder, there may be a heart attack, angina pectoris, pericarditis, myocarditis, endocarditis, pleurisy, pneumonia, abscesses, spondylosis, cervical osteochondrosis, myosite, intercostal neuralgia, VSD, kifosis, scoliosis.
Back pain - symptoms that often accompany dorsalgia
- Dizziness, especially with a sharp twist of the head or when rising from a sitting position, lying;
- The periodic appearance of "flies" in front of the eyes, darkening in the eye, until the loss of consciousness;
- Headache;
- Numbness in fingers, feet, hips, buttocks;
- Weakness in the arms, feet, general weakness, mistreatment, rapid loss of strength, a feeling of decay and without redness.
- A burning sensation or tingling in the arms and legs;
- Pain after sternum, muscle, joints, stomach;
- A sharp change in blood pressure from low (100 to 60 and below) to high values (140 to 100 and above) and vice versa during the day;
- Rapid or rare urination;
- When urinating or defecation, sensitivity decreases;
- Holidays on the back (lumbago);
- The severity in the shoulder;
- Change of behavior, walking.
Diagnosis of back pain
Among the exam methods used in dorsalgia differ:
- Visual examination of the back, palpation, complaints, anamnesis;
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI);
- Calculated tomography (CT);
- Radiography (x -ray);
- Electromography (EMG);
- General blood test overall and biochemical test.
How to relieve back pain?Handling
The treatment of back pain should be based mainly on the treatment of the underlying disease that provoked dorsalgia.After all, if this is the usual hypothermia, then simple rubbing, or a warm bath will relax the muscles and the pain will pass on its own.But in the case of osteochondrosis or other diseases, simple heat will only have a temporary effect.
Thus, treatment of dorsalgia is symptomatic, while treatment of the underlying disease can vary significantly.
Consider the basic methods and medicines that help relieve back pain.
1. Medicines for back pain
Anti -inflammatory non -steroidal drugs (NSAIDs)- The main group of anti -inflammatory and sedatives of sedatives that occupy the main warmth in the treatment of inflammatory diseases and pain syndromes.The only drawback of some drugs from the NSAIDs group (NSAID) is their negative effect on digestive mucosa, which with prolonged use can cause peptic ulcer and internal bleeding.
Some of them may have an insufficient analgesic effect.
In the form of release and methods of using NSAIDs, I exist in the form of tablets, ointments, gel, injections.
Analgesic narcotic- They are used for severe acute back pain, which can accompany oncological diseases.They are strictly produced after the doctor's prescription after weighing all the pros and cons.
Musorexant- a group of medicines that have the ability to relax the body's muscles, thus relieving Kram and pain in the muscles, limiting them.After all, it is stretching, movement of tight/bored muscle tissue causes their pain.
Vitamin B (B6, B1, B12)- Get a direct part in the formation and functioning of the nervous system of living organisms, both humans and representatives of the animal world.Because of this, their combination appears in the forehead in neurological disorders.Additional intake of these vitamins helps to relieve gently inflammation from muscle tissue, relax muscle, reduce pain.
2. Injection from back pain
Acute back pain is successfully removed with injections of NSAIDs, Civil Code or blockade injections.
If everything is clear with anti -inflammatory and hormones, then the action of the "blockade" is based on the interception of the impulse of pain from the brain damage, so the person does not feel pain, as the signal does not reach the center, so to speak the interpretation of information.Therapeutic blockades are placed at the causative points of the pain area.
These remedies also relax muscle tissue, removing spasms and their pain.
Injection, depending on the appointment, can become muscles, subcutaneously, intradermally or through a catheter.
3. Physiotherapeutic remedies for back pain
Holding Electroneurostimulation (CHENS)- The anesthesia method due to electrical excitation (stimulation) with a special sensory nerve apparatus.
Magnetic therapy- Helps to gently relieve inflammation, anesthesia, improve muscle mobility and beads due to the effect of a low -frequency magnetic field in the body.
Laser therapy- Pain relief occurs due to effects on pathological areas of red spectrum light, infrared or ultraviolet.It is used for almost all diseases of the spinal column, accompanied by pain.
Electrophoresis- The introduction of medicines is performed under the influence of small electrical impulses, which extends the beneficial effect of therapeutic substances.
Phonophoresis- The method is similar to electrophoresis, only the medication is administered with the support of the ultrasound.
Physical Medical Education (Exercise therapy)- also one of the effective ways to relieve chronic back pain.After all, as we have already said, sitting and generally, hypodynamia, leads to posterior muscle weakness, which is why the whole load when walking and other body actions falls on your back, which is wrong.The whole load should come to the back muscles and other organs.Therefore, dosed physical activity using specially selected exercises allows you to increase the tone of muscle tissue, thereby discharging the spine.People who began to get involved in physical education say the walk has become much easier, the pain comes down.
Just pay attention, we're talking about the right exercise therapy!Even dumbbells, and they must be raised properly, and not how they hit.Banal squats should also be with a straight spine and a twist at the knee joints at a right angle.There is an option, hire a specially fitting trainer.
Massage- Helps relieve muscle tissue fraud, but, in the absence of lifestyle changes, massage will only have a short -term effect.
You can also turn to the fastening bandages/lane, which help to develop the correct position of the body, for example, when working in a sitting position.Fixing with such devices is used after back damage, or surgical intervention in the vertebral column.
4. Surgical treatment of back pain
Operation on the back is performed if there are indications for its behavior, which can be attributed:
- The presence of intervertebral hernias if they capture the spinal cord (myelopathy) or the core nerve root (radiculopathy);
- Curvature of the spinal column - scoliosis, kyphosis, pathological lordosis;
- Spinal injury.
After treatment
After treatment of the underlying disease, back pain syndrome may still be present for some time, so patients with skeletal muscle disease are directed to restore to specialized resorts rehabilitation centers.
Equipment in such centers that equipment for physiotherapeutic treatment are installed, massage is selected, exercise exercises are exercised, and if necessary, specialized dietary nutrition is described.
Popular remedies for back pain
Before treatment, be sure to consult your doctor!
Clay.Clay has been used for more than a hundred years to treat many diseases, and the back is no exception.There is also the term "mud and mud" in which clay can also be used.For the preparation of an anti -fiber drug successfully used by popular healers for radiculitis, you need to mix 100 g of blue or green clay with 500 ml of apple or wine vinegar.Clay can be bought at a pharmacy.Heat a clay mixture up to 38 degrees on a ceramic plate and apply to the radical site.On top, wrap the body of the body with a dietary film or polyethylene, wrapping over a warm cloth, for example, with a wool scarf.The duration of the compresses is 1 hour.After rinsing the clay with warm water, wipe the body from moisture and tie this place to a warm scarf.The course of treatment is 3 times a day, within 2 weeks.
Clay, aloe, honey.The other medicine is suitable for the treatment of osteochondrosis and intervertebral hernia.Mix 100 g of green or blue clay, 600 ml of warm water, 1 teaspoon aloe juice and 1 teaspoon of natural honey.Apply the resulting mixture to the painful area, wrap it on top with glued film and wrap it with a warm wool scarf.The duration of the compresses is 1 hour.After rinsing the mixture with warm water and wrap the place with a warm scarf.The course is 3 times a day, within 2 weeks.With honey allergies, you can do without it.
Frankish and Apple Cider vinegar.How to quickly remove acute back pain?The other medicine will help to do this in 3 days.For cooking, mix 50 g incense and 50 ml of apple cider vinegar.Wash in a solution a piece of simple X/B (folded in several layers) or wool fabric, and attach it as a compress at the bottom of the back or at the other place in the back pain.Wrap the surface with a woolen scarf and wear until it dries.Make such a compress 2 times a day.
Wool and salt.Salt compresses help to attract a pathological fluid from the body, to relieve inflammation, to stop the pain.Sheep wool has a great heating and healing property.The combination of wool + salt in dorsalgia is simply excellent.Spread 200 grams of salt in hot water so that the solution is a lot of salt and place a fabric or scarf from the sheep wool in it for an hour in order to gain salt.Then squeeze the fabric and dry.Connect it a painful area and wear it constantly on yourself for a few weeks.
Tincture of dandelion.Used as a tool for rubbing the back.For cooking, pour in a liter of fresh dandelion flowers of 500 ml of vodka.Close tightly with a lid and place a cool dark place to insist, shaking the jar daily.Rub the sore joints or return with a solution up to 4 times a day.
Preventing back pain
To avoid dorsalgia, respect the following recommendations:
- Move more, do not let you wear extra pounds of fat deposits;
- If you work sitting down, leave them out of the workplace once an hour and load to improve blood circulation, especially in places where it was insufficient due to landing;
- If you raise severity, do it well - with a flat spine, and of course, especially for young boys, do not attract superpowers over yourself, even if you have the strength to do so, because the consequences can significantly exacerbate the quality of life in the event of damage;
- If you wear heavy things, such as the package from the store, distribute the weight of 2 hands so that there is no distortion on the one hand;
- When walking or sitting, do it with a flat spine, do not keep;
- Carefully take the choice of a work chair and a bedroom/sleeping pillow, they must be with an orthopedic effect and make sure you choose in height, body weight;
- Reject high heels, girls, especially young, when there is acute back pain, almost always sounds in my head - "what I thought in my youth", be alert now, take care of your health;
- Try to swim more, this is a wonderful preventive and therapeutic agent from spinal cord diseases and pathologies;
- In case of first back pain, consult a doctor, because in the case of the onset of the disease, you can do with simple exercise therapy and rubbing, and if the process is initiated, surgery may be required;
- In food, eat more foods rich in vitamins and minerals;
- Do not buy your baby a backpack or a bag to wear on a shoulder, because in childhood, this is a direct way for osteochondrosis, scoliosis;
- Do not roll with attractions with a large shaking body, such as a water banana or a high -speed water tablet, because such entertainment very often ends with a vertebral fracture, intervertebral hernia and other spinal cord injuries/diseases;
- Exclude alcohol and smoking from your life.
