The spread of scientific and technological advances is directly proportional to the deterioration of health conditions in many people.On the one hand, it is nice to start doing a lot of work for computers and other electronic devices.On the other hand, people are becoming less and less every year, and more people are working in sitting positions, and the modern rhythm of life almost brings movement to sports.These and many other factors lead to the development of musculoskeletal system diseases, whose 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 learn how to relieve back pain.
Back pain - What is this?
Back pain (back pain)It is one of the most common types of pain in the human body, only at the frequency of migraines.
Moreover, if muscle (myalgia) or joint (joint) pain is more common in infectious diseases and sprains, low back pain can still be under smaller adverse factors, such as hypothermia.
Why does this happen?Why the back is more frequent than other parts of the body (as we call the outside of the head).This is all about the large number of nerve fibers that pierce the spine.In the center of the spinal column, the spinal cord passes through, the components of the nervous system occur in large numbers, and the nerve roots come out of almost every vertebrae, and if at least one is clamped, the person will immediately feel pain in his back.
Furthermore, in front of each vertebra, nerve ends appear, which accompany and participate in the function of each internal organ.It is for this reason that many patients complain about the back and kidneys, back and ribs, back and heart, etc.
If the spine is twisted, a person received a back injury, raised a very heavy thing, or simply has a weak bone-muscular corset, which is why the entire load during movements does not go to the muscles, but only on the bones, these nerve fibers are squeezed out and the person feels the bastards in the back (lumbago), acute pain (when the spine is pinched and not released for a short time) or nervous pain (when nervousThe end of pain) is constantly squeezed), otherwise the nerves will be very cold.
It can be concluded that problems with the cervical spine may cause pain in the upper part of the cervical area or chest area, pain between the shoulder blade and the heart, but may occur if pain in the kidney and other organs of the plant system, respectively.
Causes of back pain
Now, we will consider the main causes of the most common back injuries:
1.Spine disease and other elements of the musculoskeletal system:
Osteochondral disease- Spine disease, characterized by degenerative nutritional damage to the disc, after which the tissue of the vertebrae itself participates in the pathological process, resulting in a violation of its motor function.
Kybhosis- Pathological processes in the spine, characterized by their anterior and posterior bending of the plane, usually occurring in the chest area.Among ordinary people, they are called "Gobu" and "humpback".
Scoliosis- Pathological processes in the spine, characterized by its transverse curvature, right/left or both sides.
Lordosis- Natural curve of the spine, especially visible in the waist area.But with the “pathological spine descending”, the curve extends forward, and the man’s posture recalls that he was pulled forward.
Spinal muscles- In fact, spinal diseases characterized by vertebrae displacement are actually subluxation of the vertebrae, which may lead to curvature of the entire spine due to the lack of proper treatment (Kyphosis, scoliosis, Lordosis).
Ankylosing spondylitis- Chronic hereditary inflammatory disease of the spine, in which s-bone and illegal joints, vertebrae joints and multi-layer soft tissue are affected, ultimately leading to scratches of the vertebrae and impaired natural mobility of the vertebrae column.
Vertebral hernia- A pathological process in which the disc under pressure is thinner and the intervertebral space is protruding outside.
Osteoporosis- Bone disease, its density is reduced.The bones become more fragile and susceptible to injury.It is usually caused by hormone recombination in the female body, especially after menopause.
osteomyelitis- Purulent damage to the bone marrow, which leads to melting of bone tissue.
2.Spinal Cord Disease:
As we say, the spinal cord passes through the spine and connects the brain and other organs, systems.Diseases of the spinal cord, or pathologically affected by pathology:
- Radiitis;
- osteomyelitis;
- The curvature of the spine, resulting in violation of blood supply or spinal innervation;
- Trauma of the spine;
- abscess;
- Tumor disease;
- Deficiencies of vitamins B6, B12, B1 (responsible for maintaining the function of the nervous system), copper;
- HIV infection;
- syphilis;
- Scattered sclerosis.
3.Diseases of back muscle tissue:
- fibromyalgia;
- Jusi myositis;
- Myofascial syndrome;
- rabdomylysy;
- Rheumatoid arthralgia;
- abscess;
- Charcot-Mari-Tuta disease (SMT, hereditary motor sensory neuropathy, NMSN).
4.Other diseases, diseases and adverse factors that cause back pain
Cardiovascular system - responsible for aneurysms.
Gastrointestinal Diseases - Pancreatitis, cholecystitis, gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, enterocolitis, gallstone diseases (housing and public services).
Diseases and conditions of the genital system - pyelonephritis, glomerulonephritis, urolithiasis (ICD), renal disease (PCB), adenitis, endometriosis, prostatitis, prostatitis, menstruation, climate.
Mental illness - stress, depression, neurosis, neurasthenia.
Benign and malignant tumors (cancer).
Feeling the body - It usually causes a cold and its pain in the back nerve.
Poor pillows or missed choice of mattresses – Be the culprit of back pain after sleep.
A lot of manual labor associated with weightlifting – often leads to vertebrae injuries, vertebrae hernia and other spinal diseases.
A sedentary lifestyle (hypoemia) that causes atrophy and atrophy of the back muscle tissue, pain.Indeed, initially, a person is supported by his muscles while walking, but due to weaknesses, the entire load is not the muscles, but the spine, which can cause his wear and wear on his back.It is mainly office staff, and IT specialists suffer from hypoxia.
Obesity - Too much weight can also load on the back when walking.In the experiment, place a 62-liter water bottle in a backpack and walk it around the house with your back and complete tasks every day (dish washing, sweeping or vacuum cleaner, dusty).Then delete it as a feeling?Now imagine that a person who is overweight will wear such a backpack every second, and some people carry an extra 15, 20, 30 kilograms on their own!Weight loads almost all organs and systems, and we wear them.
Pregnancy is another cause of back pain.
The cause of low back pain depends on its nature
Painful nature acute and chronic pain in the back- Myositis, cashews, back muscle stretching, uncomfortable sleeping places, hypothermia, improper weight lifting, uncomfortable workplaces (chairs, table height), displacement of intervertebral discs, osteochondral ossification.

The pain in the back- Myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, hypertension crisis, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, gallstone disease, pancreatitis.
The cause of low back pain depends on its localization
Back pain on the right- Scoliosis, displacement or hernia of the spinal disc, gastrointestinal diseases, liver disease, inflammation of right nephritis (nephritis), inflammation of right ovarian inflammation (Ophoret), kidney, myositis, neuritis, body inflammation, excessive physical exercise, obesity and back injuries, stones in the kidneys.

Diagnosing back pain
There are differences in the examination methods used in back pain:
- visual examination, palpation, complaints, anatomy of the back;
- magnetic resonance imaging (MRI);
- Computed tomography (CT);
- X-ray photography (x-Ray);
- electromyography (EMG);
- General and biochemical blood tests.
How to relieve back pain?Back pain treatment
The treatment of back pain should be based mainly on the treatment of potential diseases of back pain.After all, if this is normal hypothermia, then simple friction or warm bathroom will relax muscles and the pain will pass away on its own.However, in the case of osteochondrosis or other diseases, simple warming can only have temporary effects.
Therefore, the treatment of back pain is symptomatic, and treatment of underlying diseases may vary greatly.
Consider basic methods and medications that help relieve back pain.
1.Back pain medication
Nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)- The main group of anti-inflammatory and painkillers that occupy the main ecological niche in the treatment of inflammatory diseases and pain syndromes.The only disadvantage of some drugs in the NSAIDS group (NSAID) is their negative effects on the digested mucosa, which can cause peptic ulcers and internal bleeding.
Some of them may not have enough analgesic effects.
In the form of release and the method of using NSAID, I exist in the form of tablets, ointments, gels, injections.
Anesthesia and analgesics- They are used for severe acute back pain, which may be accompanied by tumor disease.After weighing all the advantages and disadvantages, they are produced strictly after the doctor's prescription.
musorelaxant- A set of medications can relax the body's muscles, thereby easing plugs and soreness in the muscles, which is their constraint.After all, it is stretching, the movement of the constrained/stenosis muscle tissue can cause its pain.
B vitamins (B6, B1, B12)- Directly involved in the formation and function of the biological nervous system of humans and representatives in the animal kingdom.Therefore, their combination appears at the forefront of neurological diseases.Further intake of these vitamins helps gently relieve inflammation in muscle tissue, relax muscles, and relieve pain.
2.Back pain injection
Acute back pain is successfully eliminated by injection of NSAID, the Civil Code or blockade injection.
If everything is clear with anti-inflammatory and hormones, then the effect of "blocking" is based on the interception of painful impulses for brain damage, so people don't feel pain because the signal about this signal does not reach the center, so the explanation of the information can be said.Place the treatment block at the trigger point in the pain area.
These methods also relax muscle tissue and eliminate its spasticity and pain.
According to the appointment, injections can make the muscle subcutaneously, internally or through a catheter.
3.Physical therapy for back pain
Electric spiral stimulation of bearings (Chens)- A method of anesthesia caused by electrical excitation (stimulation), with special sensory neural devices.
Magnetizing therapy- Due to the effects of low-frequency magnetic fields on the body, it helps to gently relieve inflammation, anesthesia, improve muscle mobility and vertebrae.
Laser Therapy- Pain relief is due to the effect on the pathological areas of red, infrared or ultraviolet spectral light rays.It is used in almost all diseases of the spine and is accompanied by pain.
Electrophoresis- The introduction of drugs under the influence of small electrical impulses, which prolongs the beneficial effects of therapeutic substances.
voice- This method is similar to electrophoresis and is administered only with ultrasound support.
Medical Sports (Exercise Therapy)- One of the effective ways to relieve chronic back pain.After all, as we have already said, sitting and generally hyperactivity, leads to weaknesses in the back muscles, which is why the entire load falls on the spine when walking and other body movements is wrong.The entire load should fall on the muscles of the back and other organs.So, with a dose of physical exercise with a specially selected exercise, you can increase the tone of your muscle tissue, thereby removing your spine.People who started physical education say walking becomes much easier and the pain subsides.
Please note that we are talking about the right exercise therapy!Even dumbbells need to be lifted correctly, not how to hit them.Mediocre squats should also bend and bend backward at right angles.I had the opportunity and hired a fitness coach with special training.
massage- It helps to relieve the fuss of muscle tissue, but, without lifestyle changes, massage only has a short-term impact.
You can also resort to fixing bandages/corns to help develop the right body position, such as when working in a sitting position.Use such equipment to fixate after back injury, or perform surgical intervention in the vertebrae.
4.Surgery for back pain
If there are signs of its behavior, it can be operated on the back, which can be attributed to:
- If the vertebrae are present, if they clamp the spinal cord (myelopathy) or the spinal nerve root (radiculopathy);
- Curvature of the spine - scoliosis, meningeal disease, pathological spinal muscles;
- Spine injury.
After treatment
Pain syndrome in the back may remain for some time after treatment of the underlying disease, so patients with musculoskeletal system disorders are instructed to recover to a dedicated resort rehabilitation center.
It is in such a center that physical therapy equipment is installed, massage is turned on, exercise is selected, and special dietary nutrition is carried out when necessary.
Folk remedies for low back pain
Be sure to consult your doctor before treatment!
Clay.Clay has been used to treat many diseases, and the back is no exception.There is even the term "mud and mud", and clay can be used.To prepare the anti-fiber therapy that popular therapists successfully use, you need to mix 100 grams of blue or green clay with 500 ml of apple or wine vinegar.Clay can be purchased at the pharmacy.Heat the clay mixture up to 38 degrees in a ceramic dish and apply it to the location of radiation.Most importantly, wrap the body with dietary film or polyethylene and wrap it on a warm cloth with a wool scarf.The duration of compression is 1 hour.After rinsing the clay with warm water, wipe the body off the moisture and tie the place up with a warm scarf.The treatment process is 3 times a day within 2 weeks.
Clay, aloe, dear.The next therapy is suitable for treating osteochondrosis and intervertebral hernia.Mix 100g green or blue clay, 600ml warm water, 1 teaspoon aloe juice and 1 teaspoon natural honey.Apply the final mixture to the painful area, wrap it in plastic wrap, and wrap it in a warm wool scarf.The duration of compression is 1 hour.After rinsing the mixture with warm water, wrap the scene with a warm scarf.The course is 3 times a day in 2 weeks.Allergic to honey, you can do without it.
Frankish and Apple Apple Cider Vinegar.How to quickly eliminate acute lower back pain?The next remedy will help do so within 3 days.For cooking, mix 50g fragrant and 50ml apple cider vinegar.Wet a simple X/B (folded with several layers) or wool fabric in solution and use it as a lower back or other location to compress it in back pain.Wrap the surface with a wool scarf and wear it until it is dry.Compress twice a day.
Wool and salt.Compressing with salt helps pull the pathological fluid from the body, relieve inflammation and stop pain.The wool of sheep is excellent in warming and healing.The combination of wool + salt is very good in back pain.Dissolve 200 grams of salt in hot water to make the solution very salty and place the fabric or scarf in it for an hour to obtain the salt.The fabric is then extruded and dried.Tie her to a painful area and keep putting on herself for weeks.
Dandelion tin agent.It is used as a means of rubbing the back.For cooking, pour in 500 ml of fresh dandelion flowers of a vodka.Use the lid to close tightly, place in a dark cool place to stick to, shaking the jar every day.Wipe sore joints or back up to 4 times a day.
Prevent back pain
To avoid back pain, follow the following suggestions:
- Move more, not allowing you to wear extra fat deposits;
- If you sit and work, leave the workplace once and charge it to improve blood circulation, especially where you are not sitting enough;
- If you lift severity, do the right thing - of course, especially for young people, don't attract superpowers even if you have the power to do so, because in case of injury the consequences can greatly worsen the quality of life;
- If you are wearing something heavy, such as the store packaging, distribute 2 hands of weight so that one side is not twisted.
- When you walk or sit, use your flat back and do not bend over;
- Carefully choose work chairs and sleeping mattresses/pillows, they should have orthopedic effects and ensure height, weight selection;
- Reject tall shoes, girls, especially young shoes, almost always sound in my mind when there is acute back pain - "I thoughts when I was young", now be alert and take care of your health;
- Try swimming more, a wonderful preventive and therapeutic agent for spinal diseases and pathology.
- If you have the first time low back pain, consult your doctor because in the event of a disease, you can perform simple exercise therapy and friction, which may require operation if the process is initiated;
- In food, eat more foods rich in vitamins and minerals;
- Don’t buy a backpack or bag for your child, because in childhood, this is a direct way to osteochondrosis, scoliosis;
- Do not roll around attractions on high-speed attractions such as bananas or water flakes, as this entertainment often ends with vertebrae, vertebrae hernia and other injuries/diseases to the spine.
- Exclude alcohol and smoking from your life.
