The propagation of scientific and technological progress is directly proportional to the worsening of the health of many people.On the one hand, it is 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 work in a sitting position, and the modern rhythm of life almost leaves 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's population!
Consider this symptom in more detail and discover 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, in lower frequency of migrañas.
And, if pain in the muscles (myalgia) or joints (arthralgia) is more often associated with infectious diseases and sprains, then back pain can still be low smaller adverse factors, for example, hypothermia.
Why is this happening?Why does the back hurt more often than other parts of the body (with the exception of the head, as we said)?It is a lot of nerve fibers that pierce the spine.In the center of the spinal column, the spinal cord passes, from which an extensive branching of the components of the nervous system occurs, and the nerve roots leave almost all the vertebra, and if at least one of them is held, the person immediately feels the pain in the back.
In addition, in front of each vertebra, nerve finals, which are linked and participate in the functioning of each internal organ.It is for this reason that many patients complain of pain in the back and kidneys, back and ribs, back and heart, etc.
If the column is twisted, a person received a back injury, something very heavy increased, or simply has a weak corset of bone-mezcla, so all the load during the movements does not go to the muscles, but only in the bones, these nerve fibers squeeze and the person feels the back (the lumbago pain), the acute pain (when the acute pain (when the pain of the sword is notstacked and released for a short time for a low time) (when pain) (when pain is pain) (when it is not released) it is released and released for a low time) or is not released.The terminations are constantly squeezed), or the nerve is cold.
It can be concluded that problems with cervical vertebrae can cause pain in the cervical region or the upper part of the thoracic region, the pain between the shoulder blades and the heart, but if the vertebral vertebrae can already hurt, respectively, the pain in the kidneys and other organs of the genitourinary system.
The causes of back pain
Now we will consider the main reasons why the back hurts more often:
1. Column diseases and other elements of the musculoskeletal system:
Osteochondrosis-The spine disease, characterized by the degenerative-divophical 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 their motor function.
Ciposis-The pathological process in the column, characterized by its curvature in the front of the plane, which usually occurs in the chest region area.In the common people it is called "Gorb", "hunchback."
Scoliosis- The pathological process in the spine, characterized by its lateral curvature, to the right/left or on both sides.
Lordosis- The natural curve of the column, especially visible in the lumbar region.But with "pathological lordosis", this curve stands out in the front direction, and the person's position remembers as if it were dragged forward.
Spondylolist- The disease of the column, characterized by the displacement of the vertebra, is, in fact, this is subluxation of the vertebra, which can, as a result of the lack of adequate treatment, can cause the curvature of the entire spinal column (kyphosis, scoliosis, lordosis).
Anyllosing spondyl artis -A genetically chronic inflammatory disease of the spine, in which the sacred and illegal joints, the vertebral joints and the paravertebral soft tissues are affected, which finally leads to the scraping of the vertebrae and the deteriorated natural mobility of the spine.
Intervertebral hernia- A pathological process in which the intervertebral disc under pressure is thinner and stands out outside the intervertebral space.
Osteoporosis- Bone disease, characterized by a decrease in its density.The bones become more fragile and prone to injuries.Usually, caused by hormonal restructuring in the female body, especially after menopause.
Osteomyelitis- Purulent damage to the bone marrow, which leads to the fusion of bone tissue.
2. Spinal cord diseases:
The spinal cord, as we said, passes through the spinal column, connecting the brain and other organs, the systems.To spinal cord diseases, or because of the fact that it is pathologically affected by:
- Radiculitis;
- Myelitis;
- Curvature of the spinal column, which leads to a violation of the blood supply or the innervation of the column;
- Trauma of the spinal column;
- Abscesses;
- Oncological diseases;
- Vitamins B6, B12, B1 (B1 (are responsible for maintaining the operation of the nervous system), copper;
- HIV infection;
- Syphilis;
- Sclerosis dispersed.
3. Diseases of muscle tissues of the back:
- Fibromyalgia;
- Polymiositis;
- Myofascial syndrome;
- Rhabdomyolysis;
- Rheumatic polymyalgia;
- Abscess;
- Charcot-Mari-Tuta disease (SMT, sensory sensory hereditary neuropathy, NMSN).
4. Other diseases, conditions and adverse factors that lead to back pain
Aortic disease diseases of the cardiovascular system.
Gastrointestinal tract diseases: pancreatitis, cholecystitis, stomach ulcer, duodenal ulcer, enterocolitis, bile stone disease (housing and communal services).
Diseases and condition of the genitourinary system: pyelonephritis, glomerulonephritis, urolithiasis (DAI), renal disease (PCB), adnexitis, endometriosis, prostatitis, menstruation, climate.
Psychological disorders: stress, depression, neurosis, neurasthenia.
Benign and malignant tumors (cancer).
Smoping The body: often leads to a cold from the nerves of the back and its pain.
Poor or incorrectly selected mattress, pillow: become the culprits of back pain after sleep.
Heavy physical work associated with weight lifting: often leads to a vertebral lesion, intervertebral hernias and other spine diseases.
A sedentary lifestyle (hypodinamia), which leads to weakness and atrophy of 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 their wear and on the back.For the most part, office employees, IT specialists suffer in hypodinamia.
Obesity: excess weight also loads the back when walking.For the experiment, place 6 2 -liter water bottles in the backpack and walk with it on the back through the house, take daily tasks (wash dishes, sweep or aspire, clean the dust).Then eliminate it as sensations?Now imagine that a person with excess weight carries such a second back of his life, and some people carry the additional 15, 20, 30 kg on themselves!The weight loads almost all organs and systems, we wear them.
Pregnancy is another cause of back pain.
The causes of back pain depending on its nature
Acute and chronic pain on the back of a painful nature- Myositis, lumbago, stretch of the back muscles, place to sleep uncomfortable, hypothermia, inappropriate lifting of large weights, uncomfortable workplace (chair, table height), displacement of intervertebral discs, osteochondrosis.
Acute back pain, giving in the extremities- Osteochondrosis, intervertebral hernias, radiculitis, uncomfortable position of the body for a long time (litera, workplace).

Pain on the back of a crush- Myocardial infarction, angina pectoralis, hypertensive crisis, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, biliary stone disease, pancreatitis.
The causes of back pain depending on its location
Back pain- Scoliosis, displacement or hernia of intervertebral discs, gastrointestinal diseases, liver disease, inflammation of the right kidney (nephritis), inflammation of the right ovary (oophoreta), presence of stones in the kidneys, myositis, neuritis, excessive physical activity, obesity and subsequent injuries.
Back pain- Osteochondrosis.Lumbago, displacement or hernia of intervertebral discs, radical, pneumonia, bronchitis, intercostal neuralgia, myocardial infarction, gastrointestinal disease, splenomegaly, prostatitis, inflammation of the left kidney (nephritis), inflammation of the left ovary (ophrite).

The pain is under the lower back- Osteochondrosis, spondilartrosis, scoliosis, displacement or hernia of intervertebral discs, annexes, muscle stretching, menstruation.
Pain along the entire spine- Osteochondrosis, scoliosis, kyphosis, pathological lordosis, protrusion of vertebrae, intervertebral hernias, osteoarthritis, myalgia, spondylosis, radiculitis, ankylosing spondylitis, trauma to the spine.
Pain in the area of the blades:
- If it hurts under the correct shovel, there may be guilty: cholecystitis, pancreatitis, hepatitis, cirrhosis, bile stone disease, vegetable dystonia (VSD), intercostal neuralgia, osteochondros of the cervical or thoracic region, ostomyelitis, kicosis, scoliosis.
- If it hurts under the left spatula, there may be a heart attack, pecion angina, pericarditis, myocarditis, endocarditis, pleurisia, pneumonia, abscess, spondyosis, osteochondrosis of cervical or thoracic, myositis, intercostal neural, vsd, cilifosis, scoliosis.
Back pain: symptoms that often accompany dorsalgia
- Dizziness, especially with a strong turn of the head or when it rises from a sedentary, liar position;
- The periodic appearance of "flies" in front of the eyes, obscuring the eyes, to the loss of consciousness;
- Headaches;
- Numbness in the fingers, legs, hips, buttocks;
- Weakness in the arms, legs, general weakness, discomfort, rapid loss of force, a sense of decomposition and without eruption.
- A sensation of burning or tingling in the arms and legs;
- Pain after sternum, in the muscles, joints, stomach;
- An acute change in low blood pressure (100 to 60 and less) at high values (140 percent and more) and vice versa during the day;
- Fast or rare urine;
- When urinating or defecation, sensitivity is reduced;
- Parties on the back (lumbago);
- Severity on the shoulders;
- Posture change, march.
Back pain diagnosis
Among the exam methods used in dorsalgia distinguish:
- Visual examination of the back, palpation, complaints, anamnesis;
- Magnetic resonance images (MRI);
- Computed tomography (CT);
- Radiography (x -ray);
- Electromyography (EMG);
- General and biochemical blood analysis.
How to relieve back pain?Dorsalgia treatment
The treatment of back pain should be based mainly on the treatment of the underlying disease caused by dorsalgia.After all, if this is ordinary hypothermia, then the simple touch, 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 warming will have only a temporal effect.
Therefore, the treatment of dorsalgia is symptomatic, while the treatment of the underlying disease can differ significantly.
Consider the basic methods and medications that help relieve back pain.
1. Back pain medications
Non -steroidal anti -inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)- The main group of anti -inflammatory and analgesic analgesics that occupy the main niche in the treatment of inflammatory diseases and pain syndromes.The only inconvenience of some drugs of the NSAID group (NSAIDs) is its negative effect on 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 to use NSAIDs, they exist in the form of tablets, ointments, gels, injections.
Narcotic analgesics- They are used for severe acute back pain, which can accompany oncological diseases.They occur strictly behind the doctor's recipe after weighing all pros and cons.
Musorelaxantes- A group of drugs that have the ability to relax the body's muscles, thus relieveing groceries and pain in the muscles, their restriction.After all, it is stretching, the movement of restricted/narrow muscle tissues causes their pain.
B Vitamins (B6, B1, B12)- Take a direct part in the formation and functioning of the nervous system of living organisms, both persons and representatives of the animal world.Because of this, its combination appears at the forefront in neurological disorders.The additional intake of these vitamins helps to gently relieve inflammation of muscle tissue, relax the muscles, reduce pain.
2. Back pain injections
Acute back pain is successfully eliminated with NSAID injections, civil code or blocking injections.
If everything is clear with anti -inflammatories and hormones, then the action of "blocking" is based on the interception of the impulse of damage to the brain damage, so the person does not feel the pain, since the signal on such does not reach the center, therefore, to talk about the information.Therapeutic blocks are placed in trigger points in the pain zone.
These media also relax muscle tissue, eliminating their spasmodic and pain.
The injections, depending on the appointment, can be made muscle, subcutaneously, intradermically or through a catheter.
3. Physiotherapy remedies for back pain
Electroneuroestimulation Electroneuro (Chens)- The anesthesia method due to electrical excitement (stimulation) with a special sensory nerve apparatus.
Magnetic therapy- It helps gently relieve inflammation, anesthetize, improve muscle mobility and vertebrae due to the effect of a low frequency magnetic field in the body.
Laser therapy- The relief of pain occurs due to the effects on the pathological zones of the light rays of the red spectrum, infrared or ultraviolet.It is used for almost all diseases in the spine, accompanied by pain.
Electrophoresis- The introduction of drugs is carried out under the influence of small electrical impulses, which prolongs the beneficial effect of therapeutic substances.
Phonoforesis- The method is similar to electrophoresis, only medications are administered with ultrasound support.
Medical Physical Education (exercise therapy)- Also one of the effective ways to relieve chronic back pain.After all, as we have already said, the work sitting and, in general, hypodinamia, leads to the weakness of the back muscles, so that the entire load when walking and other body actions fall into the spine, which is wrong.The entire load must reach the back muscles and other organs.Therefore, dosed physical activity using specially selected exercises allows you to increase the tone of muscle tissue, thus discharge the spine.People who began to participate in physical education say that walking has become much easier, pain decreases.
Just pay attention, we are talking about proper exercise therapy!Even weights, and need to be raised correctly, and not how it hit.The banal squatillas must also be with a straight back and a curve in the knee joints at right angles.There is an opportunity, hire a specially trained physical conditioning coach.
Massage- It helps relieve the uproar of muscle tissue, but, in the absence of changes in lifestyle, massage will only have a short -term effect.
It can also resort to the use of fixing bandages/corsets, which help develop the correct position of the body, for example, when working in a sitting position.Fixing with such devices is used after back injury, or surgical intervention in the spine.
4. Surgical treatment of back pain
The operation on the back is carried out if there are indications of its behavior, which can be attributed:
- The presence of intervertebral hernias if they hold the spinal cord (myelopathy) or the nerve root of the spinal nucleus (lifulopathy);
- Curvature of the spinal column: scoliosis, kyphosis, pathological lordosis;
- Column injury.
After treatment
After the treatment of the underlying disease, pain syndrome can still be present for some time, so patients with musculoskeletal system diseases are aimed at restoring specialized resort rehabilitation centers.
It is in such centers that devices for physiotherapeutic treatment are installed, massages are prescribed, exercise exercises are selected and, if necessary, specialized dietary nutrition is prescribed.
Popular back pain remedies
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 even the term "mud and mud" in which clay can also be used.For the preparation of an anti -fiber remedy used successfully by popular radiculitis healers, it must mix 100 g of blue or green clay with 500 ml of apple or wine vinegar.Clay can be bought in a pharmacy.Hot a mixture of clay of up to 38 degrees on a ceramic dish and apply it to the place of radicalis.In the upper part, wrap the body of the body with a dietary or polyethylene film, wrapping on a warm cloth, for example, with a wool scarf.The compress duration is 1 hour.After rinsing the clay with warm water, clean the body of moisture and tie this place with a warm scarf.The treatment course is 3 times a day, within 2 weeks.
Clay, aloe, honey.The following remedy 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 of aloe juice and 1 teaspoon of natural honey.Apply the resulting mixture to the painful area, wrap it in the upper part with an adhesive film and wrap it with a hot wool scarf.The compress duration is 1 hour.After rinsing the mixture with warm water and wrapping the site with a warm scarf.The course is 3 times a day, within 2 weeks.With honey allergies, you can do without it.
Franca and apple cider vinegar.How to quickly remove acute pain from the lower back?The next remedy will help do this in 3 days.To cook, mix 50 g of incense and 50 ml of apple vinegar.Moisten in a solution a piece of simple x/b (bent in several layers) or wool fabric, and join it as a compress in the lower back or another place in the back pain.Wrap the surface with a wool scarf and use it until it dries.Make such a compress 2 times a day.
Wool and salt.Compresses with salt help extract a pathological liquid from the body, relieve inflammation, stop pain.The sheep wool has an excellent property of heating and healing.The combination of wool + salt in dorsalgia is simply excellent.Dissolve 200 grams of salt in hot water to make the solution very salt and place a cloth or a sheep wool scarf for an hour to win salt.Then squeeze the fabric and dry.Atalaize a painful area and constantly take it on yourself, for several weeks.
León tooth tincture.It is used as a means to rub the back.To cook, pour a liter bottle of fresh lion tooth flowers 500 ml of vodka.Firmly close with a lid and place it in a dark and fresh place to insist, shaking the bottle daily.Rub the painful joints or back with tincture up to 4 times a day.
Back pain prevention
To avoid dorsalgia, adhere to the following recommendations:
- Move more, do not allow you to use additional pounds of fat deposits;
- If you work sitting, go per hour from the workplace and load to improve blood circulation, especially in places where it was insufficient due to sitting;
- If you raise gravity, do it well, with a flat back and, of course, especially for young people, do not pull overlaps on yourself, even if you have the strength to do this, because the consequences can significantly worsen the quality of life in case of injuries;
- If you use heavy things, such as store packages, distribute the weight of 2 hands so that there is no distortion on one side;
- When you walk or feel, do it with a flat back, do not run out;
- Carefully bring to the choice of a work chair and a mattress/pillows to sleep, they must have an orthopedic effect and be sure to select in height, body weight;
- Reject high -roof shoes, girls, especially young women, when there is acute pain in my back, almost always sounds in my head: "What I thought of my youth," be vigilant now, take care of their health;
- Try to swim more, this is a wonderful preventive and therapeutic agent for diseases and pathologies of the spine;
- In the case of the first back pain, consult a doctor, because in the case of the start of the disease, you can do it with a simple exercise and rubbing therapy, and if the process is launched, an operation may be required;
- In food, eat more foods rich in vitamins and minerals;
- Do not buy your child a backpack or a bag to use on your shoulder, because in childhood, this is a direct path to osteochondrosis, scoliosis;
- It does not roll on attractions with a large shake body, such as a water banana or a high speed water table, because this entertainment is often ends with a fracture of the vertebra, intervertebral hernia and other injuries/diseases of the column;
- It excludes alcohol and smoking from your life.
