The spread of scientific and technological progress is a direct proportion to the health of many.On the one hand, it's good that computers and other electronic devices begin to do a lot of work.On the other hand, people from year to year become less mobile, more often working in a sitting position, and the rhythm of modern life almost leaves time playing sports.These and many other factors contribute to the development of the disease of the musculoskeletal system, the main symptoms of back pain.
As the statistics show, back pain occurs in 90% of the world's population!
Consider these symptoms in more detail and learn how to relieve back pain.
Dorsalgia - what is it?
Back pain (dorsalgia)It is one of the most common types of pain in the human body, lower in frequency of migraines.
And, if muscle pain (myalgia) or joints (arthralgia) are more often associated with infectious diseases and sprains, back pain can still be under smaller factors, for example, hypothermia.
Why is this happening?Why the back pain is more frequent than other parts of the body (with the exception of the head, as we say).This is all about a large number of nerve fibers that pierce the spine.In the middle of the spinal column, the spinal cord passes, from which the branches of the nervous system component occur, and the nerve roots come out of almost every vertebra, and if at least one of them is clamped, the person immediately feels pain in the back.
In addition, in front of each vertebra, the nerve ending, which is fastened and participated in the function of each internal organs.Therefore, many patients complain of pain in the back and kidneys, behind and ribs, back and heart, etc.
If the spine is twisted, a person receives a back injury, causes a very heavy thing, or only has a weak bone muscle corset, which is why the whole load during movement does not go to the muscles, but only on the bones, the nerve fibers are absorbed and are not sensitive.Nervous pain) The ending is constantly squeezed), or the cold nerves.
It can be concluded that problems with cervical vertebrae can cause pain in the cervical region or upper thoracic region, pain between shoulder and heart blades, but if vertebral vertebrae can hurt, kidney pain and other organs of the genitourinary system may appear.
The cause of back pain
Now we will consider the main reasons why the back is most often painful:
1. Spinal diseases and other elements of the musculoskeletal system:
Osteochondrosis-Spinal diseases, characterized by degenerative-dystrophic damage to the intervertebral disc, and subsequently the vertebral tissues themselves are involved in the pathological process, leading to violations of their motor function.
Kyphosis-The pathology process in the spine, characterized by its curvature on the front of the aircraft, which usually occurs in the thoracic region.In common people are called "gorb", "humpbacked."
Scoliosis- The pathological process in the spine, characterized by side curvature, to the right/left or both.
Lordosis- The natural turn of the spine, especially in the lumbar region.But with "pathological lordosis", the corner stands out in the front, and the person's posture is reminded as if he was pulled forward.
Spondylolistz- Spinal disease, characterized by vertebral displacement, in fact, this is a vertebral subluxation, which is possible, as a result of the lack of proper treatment, can cause curvature throughout the spinal cord (kyphosis, scoliosis, lordosis).
Ankylosing spondylitis -Chronic genetic inflammation of the spine, where sacral and illegal joints, vertebral joints and paravertebral soft tissue are affected, which eventually leads to vertebral binding and natural mobility disorders from the vertebral column.
Intervertebral hernia- The pathological process in which the intervertebral disc under pressure is thinner and stand out outside the intervertebral space.
Osteoporosis- Bone disease, characterized by a decrease in its density.The bones become more fragile and exposed to injury.Usually due to the restructuring of hormones in the female body, especially after menopause.
Osteomyelitis- Purulent damage to the bone marrow, which causes the dilution of bone tissue.
2. Spinal cord disease:
The spinal cord, as we say, through the spinal column, connects the brain and organs, other systems.To spinal cord disease, or by the fact that it is pathologically affected by:
- Radiculitis;
- Myelitis;
- Spinal column curvature, leading to infringement of blood supply or spinal preservation;
- Spinal column trauma;
- Abscess;
- Oncological diseases;
- Deficiency of vitamins B6, B12, B1 (responsible for maintaining the function of the nervous system), copper;
- HIV infection;
- Syphilis;
- Sclerosis is scattered.
3. Back muscle tissue disease:
- Fibromyalgia;
- Polymiositis;
- Myofascial syndrome;
- Rabdomyolysis;
- Rheumatic polymyalgia;
- Abscess;
- Charcot-Mari-Tuta Disease (SMT, Sensory Motor Sensory Neuropathy, NMSN).
4. Diseases, conditions and poor factors leading to back pain
The aneurism of the cardiovascular system.
Gastrointestinal tract disease - pancreatitis, cholecystitis, stomach ulcer, duodenal ulcer, enterocolitis, bile disease (housing and communal services).
Diseases and conditions of the genitourinary system - pyelonephritis, glomerulonephritis, urolithiasis (ICD), kidney disease (PCB), adnexitis, endometriosis, prostatitis, menstruation, climate.
Psychological disorders - stress, depression, neurosis, neurasthenia.
Benign and malignant (cancer) tumors.
Smoping the body - often causes the back of the back nerves and its pain.
Poor or wrong mattresses are selected, the pillow - the cause of back pain after sleep.
Heavy physical labor associated with weight lifting - often causes vertebral injury, intervertebral hernia and other spinal diseases.
Inactive lifestyle (hypodynamia), leading to weakness and atrophy of back muscle tissue and pain in it.Indeed, at first, a person when walking is supported by the muscles, but with weakness, the whole burden does not go to the muscles, but to the spine, leading to his or her clothes and back in the back.Most office workers, IT experts suffer in hypodynamia.
Obesity - excess weight also loads back while walking.For the trial, place 6 2 bottles of water in the backpack and walk with it in your backyard, take daily tasks (dishwasher, broom or vacuum cleaner, wipe dust).Then remove it as a sensation?Now imagine, someone with overweight wearing a backpack like every moment of his life, and some people bring an additional 15, 20, 30 kg on themselves!The heavy load of almost all organs and systems, we wear them.
Pregnancy is another cause of back pain.
The cause of back pain depends on its nature
Acute and chronic pain in the back of a sick nature- Myositis, lumbago, back muscle stretch, uncomfortable beds, hypothermia, improper weight lifting, uncomfortable work (chairs, desk height), intervertebral disc displacement, osteochondrosis.
Acute back pain, giving in the limbs- osteochondrosis, intervertebral hernia, radiculitis, uncomfortable body position for a long time (work, workplace).
Back pain in the pulsating nature, not passing after taking painkillers- Lumbago, osteochondrosis, scoliosis, kyphosis, intervertebral hernia, spondylosis, vertebral cracks.
The pain behind the ruptured nature- Myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, pulmonary artery thromboembolism (pulp), intestinal obstruction.
Pain in the back crush- Myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, hypertension crisis, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, bile disease, pancreatitis.
The cause of back pain depends on its localization
Back pain to the right- Scoliosis, displacement or hernia of intervertebral disc, gastrointestinal disease, liver disease, proper kidney inflammation (nephritis), right ovarian inflammation (oophoret), presence of stones in the kidneys, myositis, neuritis, excessive physical activity.
Back pain on the left- osteochondrosis.Lumbago, displacement or hernia of intervertebral disc, radiculite, lung inflammation, bronchitis, intercostal neuralgia, myocardial infarction, gastrointestinal disease, splenomegaly, prostatitis, left kidney inflammation.
Low pain- radiculite, osteochondrosis, ankylosing spondylitis, intervertebral hernia, reitera syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, lumbar, tumor, infectious disease with complications in spinal and back muscles.
The pain is under the lower back- osteochondrosis, spondylarthrosis, scoliosis, displacement or intervertebral disc hernia, adnexitis, muscle stretching, menstruation.
Pain along the spinal column- osteochondrosis, scoliosis, kyphosis, pathological lordosis, vertebral promotion, intervertebral hernia, osteoarthritis, myalgia, spondylosis, radiculitis, ankylosing spondylitis, trauma to the vertebral column.
Pain in the blade area:
- If it hurts under the right shovel, there can be culprit - cholecystitis, pancreatitis, hepatitis, cirrhosis, bile disease, vegetable dystonia (VSD), intercostal neuralgia, osteochondrosis.
- If it hurts under the left spatula, there can be heart attacks, angina pectoris, pericarditis, myocarditis, endocarditis, pleurisy, powdered, abscesses, spondylosis, cervical or thoracic osteochondrosis, myositis, scouryosis, neursal, neursal, neorsal, neursal, neursal, neurals, neurals
Back pain - symptoms that often accompany dorsalgia
- Dizziness, especially with a sharp head turn or as it rises from an inactive position, lying down;
- Periodic appearance of "flies" in front of the eyes, dark in the eyes, thus losing consciousness;
- Headache;
- Numbness in the fingers, feet, hips, buttocks;
- Weaknesses in the arms, legs, general weakness, weakness, loss of strength, fractions and no rash.
- Burning sensation or tingling in the arms and legs;
- Pain after sternum, in the muscles, joints, stomach;
- Sharp changes in blood pressure from low (100 to 60 and below) to high value (140 to 100 and above) and vice versa during the day;
- Rapid or rare urine;
- When urinating or removal, sensitivity is reduced;
- Festivals behind (lumbago);
- The severity of the shoulder;
- Posture change, Gait.
Diagnosis of back pain
Some of the methods of examination used in dorsalgia distinguish:
- Back visual examination, palpation, complaints, anamnesis;
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI);
- Computed tomography (CT);
- Radiography (x -ray);
- Electromyography (EMG);
- General blood tests and biochemistry.
How to relieve back pain?Dorsalgia treatment
Treatment of back pain should be based on the treatment of dorsalgia underlying diseases.After all, if this is a normal hypothermia, then easily rubbing, or a warm bathroom will relieve the muscles and the pain will pass by on its own.But in the case of osteochondrosis or other diseases, simple heating will only have a temporary effect.
Therefore, dorsalgia treatment is a symptom, while the 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 -non -ssteroidal drugs (NSAIDs)- The main group of anti -painkillers and painkillers occupy the major niche in the treatment of inflammatory diseases and pain syndrome.The only weakness of some drugs from the NSAID group (NSAID) is their negative effect on the digestive mucous membranes, which with prolonged use can cause peptic ulcer and internal bleeding.
Some of them may have insufficient analgesic effects.
In the form of discharge and method of using NSAIDs, I exist in the form of tablets, ointments, gels, injections.
Narcotic analgesic- They are used for severe acute back pain, which can accompany oncological diseases.They are strictly produced behind the doctor's prescription after considering all the pros and cons.
Musorelaxants-A group of medicines that have the ability to relax the body's muscles, thus relieving creams and pain in the muscles, their constraints.After all, it is a stretch, the movement of the confined/narrow muscle tissue causes their pain.
B Vitamins (B6, B1, B12)- Take the direct part in the formation and function of the nervous system of the living organism, both people and representatives of the animal world.Because of this, their combination appears in the forefront of neurological disorders.Taking of these vitamins helps relieve inflammation from muscle tissue, relieves muscles, reduces pain.
2. Injection from back pain
Acute back pain is successfully released with NSAID injection, civil code, or restriction injection.
If everything is clear with anti -hormones and hormones, then the act of "restriction" is based on the impulse of pain from damage to the brain, so the person does not feel the pain, as the signal is not reaching the center, so to speak the interpretation of the information.The therapeutic block is placed at the point of triggering the pain zone.
This also means relieving muscle tissue, removing spasmodic and their pain.
The injection, depending on the appointment, can be muscular, subcutaneously, intradermally or through the catheter.
3. Physiotherapy remedies for back pain
Bearing Electroneurostimulation (Chens)- Anesthesia method is caused by electrical excitation (stimulation) with a special nerve tool.
Magnetic therapy- It helps to relieve inflammation, anesthetics, increase muscle mobility and vertebra due to the effects of low magnetic fields on the body.
Laser therapy- The release of pain is caused by an effect on the pathological zone of light, red spectrum, infrared or ultraviolet.It is used for almost all spinal column diseases, accompanied by pain.
Electrophoresis- Introduction of medicines - Medicines are carried out under the influence of small electrical impulses, which extend the beneficial effects of therapeutic material.
Phonophoresis- This method is similar to electrophoresis, only the drug is given with ultrasound support.
Medical Physical Education (Training Therapy)- Also one of the most effective ways to relieve chronic back pain.After all, as we have said, sitting and in general, hypodynamia, leading to back muscle weakness, which is why the whole burden while walking and other body action falls in the spine, wrong.The whole load should come to the back muscles and other organs.Therefore, the physical activity of the dose using specialized exercises allows you to improve muscle tissue tone, thus unloading the spine.People who are beginning to engage in their own Physical Education say that walking has become easier, painful.
Just note, we're talking about the right exercise therapy!Even dumbbells, and they need to be raised properly, and not how they hit.The shallow squats should also be with a straight back and bend in the knee joint at the right angle.There is a chance, hiring a trained fitness coach.
Massage- It helps relieve muscle tissue, but, if there is no lifestyle change, massage will only have a short effect.
You can also use a bandage/corset wrap, which helps to develop the right body position, for example, when working in a sitting position.Setting with such devices is used after a back injury, or surgical intervention in the vertebral column.
4. Treatment of back pain surgery
The back operation is carried out if there are indications for his behavior, which can be associated with:
- The presence of intervertebral hernia if they surround the spinal cord (myelopathy) or the root of the spinal core (radiculopathy);
- Spinal column curvature - scoliosis, kyphosis, pathological lordosis;
- Spinal injury.
After treatment
After the treatment of underlying diseases, the back pain syndrome may still be available for some time, so patients with the musculoskeletal system disease are directed to recover to a special resort rehabilitation center.
In such centers, devices for physiotherapy treatment are installed, massage prescribed, training training is selected, and if necessary, specialty food nutrition is prescribed.
People's recovery for back pain
Before treatment, make sure you consult your doctor!
Clay.Clay has been used for over a hundred years to treat many diseases, and the back is no exception.There is even a term "mud and mud" where clay can also be used.For the preparation of anti -fetal drugs that are successfully used by popular healers for radiculitis, you need to mix 100 g of blue or green clay with 500 ml apple vinegar or wine.Clay can be purchased at pharmacies.Preheat the clay mixture to 38 degrees in ceramic dishes and apply it to the radiculitis.Above, wrap the body with a diet or polyethylene film, wrapping on a warm cloth, for example, with a wool.The compress period is 1 hour.After rinse clay with warm water, wipe the body from moisture and tie this place with a warm scarf.The course of treatment is 3 times a day, within 2 weeks.
Clay, aloe, honey.The next drug is ideal for the treatment of osteochondrosis and intervertebral hernia.Mix 100 g of green or blue clay, 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 up with a cling and wrap with a warm wool.The compress period is 1 hour.After rinse the mixture with warm water and wrap the site with a warm scarf.The course is 3 times a day, within 2 weeks.With allergies to honey, you can do it without it.
Frankish and apple cider vinegar.How to quickly produce acute lower back pain?The next remedy will help do this in 3 days.For cooking, mix 50 g of incense and 50 ml of apple cider vinegar.Soft in a simple X/B piece of solution (folded in several layers) or fabric, and install it as a compress at the bottom or other place in back pain.Wrap the surface with a scarf and apply it until dry.Do such compression 2 times a day.
Feathers and salt.Compresses with the help of salt to attract pathological fluid from the body, relieve inflammation, stop pain.Sheep fur has excellent heating and healing.The combination of wool + salt in the dorsalgia is just very good.Dissolve 200 grams of salt in hot water so that the solution is very salt and puts a cloth or scarf from the sheep in it for an hour to get salt.Then squeeze the cloth and dry.Tie him to a painful area and continue to wear it on yourself, for several weeks.
Dandelion tincture.It is used as a way to rub back.For cooking, pour fresh dandelion flowers of 500 ml of vodka.Cover tightly with a lid and place in a dark cool place to urge, shaking a jar daily.Rub the joints or return with tincture up to 4 times a day.
Back pain prevention
To avoid dorsalgia, comply with the following suggestions:
- Move more, don't let you wear extra pounds of fat deposits;
- If you work sitting, leave it once an hour from work and do it to improve blood circulation, especially in places where it is not enough to sit;
- If you lift the severity, do it properly - with a flat back, and of course, especially for young men, do not pull the power of yourself, even if you have the strength to do this, as the consequences can exacerbate the quality of life if injury;
- If you wear heavy items, such as packages from the store, distribute 2 hands so that there is no interruption on one side;
- When you walk or sit, do it with a flat back, do not bend;
- Be careful with the choice of work chairs and bedding/pillows, they should be with orthopedic effect and make sure you choose height, weight;
- Reject high shoes, girls, especially young people, when there is acute back pain, almost always sounds in my head -"what I was thinking in my youth", be careful now, take care of your health;
- Trying to swim more, this is a beautiful prevention and therapeutic agent of spinal disease and pathology;
- If the first back pain, consult your doctor, because in the case of the onset of the disease, you can do it with simple and rubbing therapy, and if the process is launched, surgery may be required;
- In foods, eat more foods rich in vitamins and minerals;
- Do not buy your child's backpack or bag to wear your shoulders, because in childhood, this is a direct path to osteochondrosis, scoliosis;
- Do not curl with large shaking bodies, such as water bananas or high -speed water tablets, as such entertainment often ends with spinal fractures, intervertebral hernia and other injuries/diseases;
- Excluding alcohol and smoking from your life.
