The spread of scientific and technological progress is directly proportional to the worsening of the health of many people.On the one hand, it is positive that computers and other electronic devices have started to do a lot of work.On the other hand, people from year to year become less mobile, more often work in a sitting position and the modern rhythm of life almost leave time to practice sports.These and many other factors contribute to the development of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, whose main symptom is back pain.
As statistics show, back pain occurs in 90% of the world population!
Consider this symptom in more detail and find out how to relieve back pain.
Dorsalgia - What is it?
Back pain (Dorsalgia)It is one of the most frequent types of pain in the human body, inferior in the frequency of migraines only.
And, if pain in the muscles (myalgia) or the joints (arthralgia) is more often associated with infectious diseases and distracted
Why is it happening?Because the back hurts more often than other parts of the body (with the exception of the head, as we said).It is a large number of nerve fibers that pierce the spine.At the center of the spine, the spinal cord passes, from which a vast branch of the components of the nervous system occurs and the nerve roots come out of almost all the vertebra and if at least one of them is blocked, the person immediately feels the pain in the back.
In addition, in front of each vertebra, nerve endings come out, which are linked and participate in the functioning of each internal organ.It is for this reason that many patients complain of back pain and kidneys, in the back and ribs, in the 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 personFeels the Bastards in the Back (Lumbago), Acute Pain (when the spine is pints and not released for a short time) or nervous pain (when nervous pain) The finals are constantly crushed) or the nerve is cold.
It can be concluded that the problems with the cervical vertebrae can cause pain in the cervical region or in the upper part of the thoracic region, pain may appear between the shoulder blades and the heart, but if the vertebral vertebrae can already hurt, respectively, the pain in the kidneys and in other organs of the parental system.
The causes of back pain
Now we will consider the main reasons why the back hurts more:
1. Diseases of the spine and other elements of the musculoskeletal system:
Osteochondrosis-The disease of the spine, characterized by degenerative dystrophic damage to the intervertebral discs, after which the tissues of the vertebrae themselves are involved in the pathological process, which leads to a violation of the motor function.
Cifosi-The pathological process in the spine, characterized by its curvature in the frontier of the plane, which usually occurs in the area of the thoracic region.In ordinary people it is called "Gorb", "Gobba."
Scoliosis- The pathological process in the spine, characterized by its lateral curvature, right/left or both sides.
Lordosis- The natural curve of the spine, particularly visible in the lumbar region.But with the "pathological lordosis", this curve protrudes in the front direction and the posture of the person recalls how if it had been pulled forward.
Spondilolistz- The disease of the spine, characterized by the movement of the vertebra, is, in fact, this is the subluxation of the vertebra, which can, due to the lack of adequate treatment, can lead to the curvature of the entire spinal column (kyphosis, scoliosis, lordosis).
Ankylosing spondylitis -A genetically inflammatory disease of the spine, in which sacred and illegal joints are affected, vertebral joints and soft tissues paravertebral, which in the end leads to the scraping of the vertebrae and the natural mobility compromised of the spine.
Intervertebral hernia- A pathological process in which the intervertebral disc under pressure is thinner and protrudes outside the intervertebral space.
Osteoporosis- bone disease, characterized by a decrease in its density.The bones become more fragile and subject to injuries.Usually caused by hormonal renovation in the female body, especially after menopause.
Osteomyelitis- Purulent damage to the bone marrow, which leads to the dissolution of the bone tissue.
2. Diseases of the spinal cord:
The spinal cord, as we said, passes through the spinal column, connecting the brain and other organs, systems.To the diseases of the spinal cord or by the fact that it is pathologically influenced by:
- Roots;
- Myelitis;
- Curvature of the vertebral column, which leads to a violation of the blood intake or the erection of the spine;
- Spine trauma;
- Abscesses;
- Oncological diseases;
- Vitamins B6, B12, B1 (they are responsible for maintaining the functioning of the nervous system), copper;
- HIV infection;
- Syphilis;
- Scattered sclerosis.
3. Diseases of muscle back tissues:
- Fibromyalgia;
- Polymexitis;
- Myofasciar syndrome;
- Rabdomiolisi;
- Rheumatic polymer;
- Abscess;
- Charcot-Mari-Tuta disease (SMT, hereditary-autopurizing neuropathy, NMSN).
4. Other diseases, conditions and adverse factors that lead to back pain
Cardiovascular-aneurism system diseases.
Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract - pancreatitis, cholecystitis, stomach ulcer, duodenal ulcer, enterocolitis, calculations disease (homes and common services).
Diseases and conditions of the parental parent system - Pyelonefrite, Glomerulonefrite, Urolitiasi (ICD), Renal disease (PCB), adnexite, endometriosis, prostatitis, menstruation, climate.
Psychological disorders - Stress, depression, neurosis, neurastenia.
Benign and evil tumors (cancer).
Moving the body - often leads to a cold of the back nerves and pain.
Poor mattress or incorrectly selected, pillow: it becomes the culprits of back pain after sleep.
The heavy physical work associated with weight lifting - often leads to vertebral lesions, intervertebral hernias and other diseases of the spine.
A sedentary lifestyle (hypodynamia), which leads to the weakness and atrophy of the muscle tissues of the back and pain in them.In fact, initially, a person when walking is supported by the muscles, but with weakness, the entire load does not go to the muscles, but to the spine, which leads to its wear and back and back in the back.Mainly office employees, IT specialists suffer from hypodynamia.
Obesity - The excess weight also loads the back when walking.For the experiment, put 6 bottles of 2 liter water in the backpack and walk with it on the back around the house, take daily tasks (wash the dishes, sweep or vacuum cleaner, dry the dust).So remove it as sensations?Now imagine, a person with excess weight wears such a backpack every second of his life and some people bring 15, 20, 30 kg more!The weight loads almost all organs and systems, we consume them.
Pregnancy is another cause of pain in the rear.
The causes of back pain according to its nature
Acute and chronic pain in the posterior part of a painful nature- Miosite, Lumbago, lengthening of the back muscles, place of sleep with unease, hypothermia, improper lifting large weights, workplace with uncomfortable (chair, table height), movement of intervertebral discs, osteochondrosis.
Acute back pain, which gives in to the limbs- Osteochondrosis, intervertebral hernias, root, position of the body uncomfortable for a long time (bunk, workplace).

Pain in the rear of nature that broke out- myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, thromboembolia of pulmonary artery (pulp), intestinal obstruction.
Pain in the back of a crush- myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, hypertensive crisis, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, bile calculations disease, pancreatitis.
The causes of back pain according to its location
Back pain to the right- Scoliosis, movement or hernia of intervertebral discs, gastrointestinal diseases, liver diseases, inflammation of the right kidney (nefrite), inflammation of the right ovary (ooforet), presence of calculations in the kidneys, myosite, neuritis, excessive physical activity, obesity and shoulder injuries.
Back pain on the left- Osteocondrosis.Lumbago, movement or hernia of intervertebral discs, root, pneumonia, bronchitis, intercostal neuralgia, myocardial infarction, gastrointestinal disease, splenomegaly, prostatitis, inflammation of the left kidney (nefrite), left inflammation (oofrite).
Low pain- Radicolite, osteochondrosis, ankylosing spondylitis, intervertebral hernias, reitera syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, lumbar, tumors, infectious diseases with complications on the muscles of the spine and back.
The pain is under the lower back of the back- Osteochondrosis, spondylartosis, scoliosis, movement or hernia of intervertebral discs, adxite, muscle elongation, menstruation.
Pain along the entire spine- Osteochondrosis, scoliosis, cifosis, pathological lordosis, protrusion of vertebrae, intervertebral hernias, osteoarthritis, myalgia, spondylosis, radicalite, ankylosing spondylitis, trauma with the spine.
Pain in the blades area:
- If it hurts under the right shovel, they can be guilty: cholecystitis, pancreatitis, hepatitis, cirrhosis, disease of calculating calm, vegetable dystonia (VSD), intercosta neuralgia, scoliaosis.
- If it hurts under the left spatula, there may be a heart attack, Angina pectis, pericarditis, myocarditis, endocarditis, pleuralisy, pneumonia, abscess, spondylosis, osteochondrosis of the cervical or chest, myosite, neural intercostal, vsd, Kyphosis.
Back pain - Symptoms that often accompany dorsalgia
- Dizziness, especially with a strong turn of the head or when it rises from a sedentary and lying position;
- The periodic aspect of "flies" in front of the eyes, obscuring in the eyes, up to the loss of consciousness;
- Heachache;
- Numbness between the fingers, the legs, the hips, the buttocks;
- Weakness in the arms, legs, general weakness, malaise, rapid loss of strength, a sense of breakage and no rash.
- A burning or tingling feeling in the arms and legs;
- Pain after the sternum, in the muscles, in the joints, in the stomach;
- A strong change in low blood pressure (100 to 60 and lower) at high values (140 per 100 and beyond) and vice versa during the day;
- Quick or rare urination;
- When urine or defecation, sensitivity is reduced;
- Retro parties (Lumbago);
- Gravity in the shoulders;
- Change of posture, pace.
Diagnosis of back pain
Among the examination methods that are used in Dorsalgia distinguish:
- Visual back of the back, palpation, lifting of complaints, anamnesis;
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI);
- Computerized tomography (CT);
- X -ray (X -Ray);
- Electromyography (EMG);
- General and biochemical blood test.
How to relieve back pain?Dorsalgia treatment
The treatment of back pain should be mainly based on the treatment of the underlying disease that caused Dorsalgia.After all, if it is an ordinary hypothermia, then simple rubbing or a hot bath will relax the muscles and the pain will go by itself.But in the case of osteocondrosis or other diseases, simple heating will only have a temporary effect.
Therefore, the treatment of dorsalgia is symptomatic, while the treatment of the underlying disease can differ significantly.
Consider the basic methods and drugs that help relieve back pain.
1. Doctors for back pain
Non -pounded anti -inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)- The main group of anthemmators and painkillers that occupy the main niche in the treatment of inflammatory diseases and pain syndromes.The only drawback of some drugs of the Fanss group (NSAIDs) is their negative effect on the mucous membranes of digestion, 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 use of fans, there is in the form of tablets, ointments, gels, injections.
Narcotic analgesics- They are used for serious acute back pain, which can accompany oncological diseases.They are produced strictly behind the doctor's prescription after weighing all the pros and cons.
Musorelassant- A group of drugs that have the ability to relax the muscles of the body, thus alleviating the cramm and pain in the muscles, their constraint.After all, it is stretching, the movement of tied/anguished muscle tissues causes their pain.
Vitamins of B (B6, B1, B12)- Take a direct part in the training and functioning of the nervous system of living organisms, both people and representatives of the animal world.For this reason, their combination appears in the front line in neurological disorders.The additional intake of these vitamins helps to gently relieve inflammation from muscle tissue, relax the muscles, reduce pain.
2. Injections from back pain
Acute back pain is successfully removed with fans, civil code or block injections.
If everything is clear with anti -inflammatory and hormones, then the action of the "block" is based on the interception of the impulse of pain from damage to the brain, therefore the person does not feel the pain, since the signal on such does not reach the center, so to speak the interpretation of the information.The therapeutic blocks are located in the trigger points of the pain area.
These vehicles also relax muscle tissue, removing their spasmodic and pain.
The injections, depending on the appointment, can be made muscles, subcutaneously, intradermally or through a catheter.
3. Physiotherapy remedies for back pain
Electroneurostimulation bearing (chens)- The anesthesia method due to electrical excitement (stimulation) with a special sensory nerves apparatus.
Magnetic therapy- It helps to gently relieve inflammation, anesthetize, improve muscle mobility and vertebrae due to the effect of a low frequency magnetic field on the body.
Laser therapy- Pain relief occurs due to the effects on the pathological areas of the red, infrared or ultraviolet light rays.It is used for almost all diseases of the spinal column, accompanied by pain.
Electrophoresis- The introduction of drugs is carried out under the influence of small electrical impulses, which prolong the beneficial effect of therapeutic substances.
Sound- The method is similar to electrophoresis, only drugs are administered with the support of ultrasound.
Medical physical education (exercise therapy)- Also one of the effective ways to relieve chronic back pain.After all, as we have already said, sitting and in general, hypodynamia, lead to the weakness of the back muscles, which is why the whole load when walking and other actions of the body falls on the spine, which is wrong.The entire load should come to the muscles of the back and other organs.Therefore, dosed physical activity using specially selected exercises allows you to increase the tone of muscle tissue, thus downloading the spine.People who started to commit themselves to physical education themselves say that walking has become much easier, pain attenuates itself.
Just pay attention, we are talking about the right operating therapy!Even dumbbells, and must be raised correctly and not as it hit.The banal squats should also be with a straight back and a curve in the joints of the rectum knee.There is an opportunity, take on a specially trained fitness coach.
Massage- It helps to relieve the redemption of muscle tissue, but, in the absence of changes in lifestyle, the massage will only have a short -term effect.
You can also resort to wearing banks/fixing corsets, which help to develop the correct position of the body, for example when working in a sitting position.The fixation with these devices is used after the back injury or surgery in the spine.
4. Surgical treatment of back pain
The operation on the back is carried out if there are indications in its conduct, which can be attributed:
- The presence of intervertebral hernias if they serve the spinal cord (myelopathy) or the root of the nerve of the spinal nucleus (radicolopathy);
- Curvature of the spinal column - scoliosis, cifosis, pathological lordosis;
- Spinal lesions.
After the treatment
After the treatment of the disease below, pain syndrome in the rear can still be present for some time, therefore patients with diseases of the musculoskeletal system are aimed at restoring the rehabilitation centers of the specialized resorts.
It is in these centers that devices for physiotherapy treatment are installed, the massage is prescribed, exercises of exercises are selected and, if necessary, a specialized dietary diet is prescribed.
Popular remedies for back pain
Before treatment, be sure to consult your doctor!
Clay.The clay has been used for more than one 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 -Fibra remedy used successfully by popular healers for the root, it is necessary to mix 100 g of blue or green clay with 500 ml of apple vinegar or wine.The clay can be purchased in the pharmacy.Heat a mixture of clay up to 38 degrees in a ceramic plate and apply it to the place of the root.At the top, wrap the body's body with a dietary film or polyethylene, wrapping a warm cloth, for example, with a wool scarf.The duration of the picture is 1 hour.After rinse the clay with hot water, dry the body from humidity and binds this place with a hot scarf.The course of treatment is 3 times a day, within 2 weeks.
Clay, aloe, honey.The next remedy is suitable for the treatment of osteochondosis and intervertebral.Mix 100 g of green or blue clay, 600 ml of hot water, 1 teaspoon of aloe juice and 1 teaspoon of natural honey.Apply the resulting mixture on the painful area, wrap it at the top with attachment plastic wrap and wrap it with a hot wool scarf.The duration of the picture is 1 hour.After rinse the mixture with hot water and wrap the site with a hot scarf.The course is 3 times a day, within 2 weeks.With honey allergies, you can do it without.
Franco and apple cider vinegar.How to quickly remove acute back pain?The next remedy will help do it in 3 days.To cook, mix 50 g of incense and 50 ml of apple cider vinegar.Moisten in a solution a piece of simple X/B (folded in different layers) or wool fabric and attach it as a compress on the lower back or another place in back pain.Wrap the surface with a wool scarf and wear it until you dry.Make such a compress 2 times a day.
Wool and salt.The compositions with salt help to extract a pathological fluid from the body, relieve inflammation, stop pain.The sheep wool has an excellent properties of heating and healing.The combination of wool + salt in the dorsalgia is simply excellent.Dissolve 200 grams goes up into hot water so that the solution is very salt and put a fabric or a sheep wool scarf for an hour so that you earn salt.Then squeeze the fabric and dry.Legal a painful area and constantly wear it on yourself, for several weeks.

Back pain prevention
To avoid dorsalgia, adhere to the following recommendations:
- Move more, do not allow you to wear extra kilos of fat deposits;
- If you work sitting, leave once every hour from the workplace and loads to improve blood circulation, especially in places where it was insufficient due to the session;
- If you raise gravity, do it well - with a flat back and, of course, especially for young people, they do not pull the superpowers on yourself, even if you have the strength to do it, because the consequences can significantly worsen the quality of life in case of injuries;
- If you wear heavy things, like the packages from the shop, distribute the weight of 2 hands so that there is no distortion on the one hand;
- When you walk or sit, do it with a flat back, do not bend down;
- Take carefully the choice of a work chair and a mattress/cushions to sleep, they should be with an orthopedic effect and make sure to select in height, body weight;
- Refuse high -wheeled shoes, the girls, in particular young people, when there is acute pain in the back, almost always sounds in my head - "What I thought in youth", be watching now, take care of your health;
- Try to swim more, this is a wonderful preventive and therapeutic agent from diseases and pathologies of the spine;
- In case of first back pain, consult a doctor, because in the case of the start of the disease, it can be done with the simple therapy and rubbing of the exercise and, if the process is launched, an operation may be necessary;
- In food, it eats more foods rich in vitamins and minerals;
- Do not buy a backpack or bag to be worn over the shoulder, because in childhood, this is a path directed towards osteochondosis, scoliosis;
- Do not roll the attractions with a large smoothie body, such as a water banana or a high -speed water tablet, because this entertainment ends very often with a fracture of the vertebra, intervertebral hernia and other injuries/diseases of the spine;
- Exclude alcohol and smoking from your life.
