The dissemination of scientific and technological progress is directly proportional to the aggravation of the health of many people.On the one hand, it is good that computers and other electronic devices have begun 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 pace of life almost leaves time to play sports.These and many other factors contribute 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 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, lower in migraine only.
And if muscle pain (myalgia) or joints (arthralgia) is more often associated with infectious diseases and sprains, back pain may still be under minor adverse factors, for example, hypothermia.
Why is this happening?Why the back hurts more often than other body parts (except the head, as we said).It's all about a large number of nerve fibers piercing the spine.In the center of the spine column, the spinal cord passes, from which there is an extensive branch of nervous system components, and nerve roots come out of almost all vertebrae and, at least one of them is tight, the person will immediately feel back pain.
In addition, in front of each vertebra, nerve endings are launched, which are bi -lined and participate in the operation of each internal organ.This is why many patients complain of back and kidney pain, back and ribs, back and heart, etc.
If the spine is twisted, Person Received a Back Injury, Raised a Very Heavy Thing, Or Simply has a Weak Bone-Muscular Corset, Which is who the Entire Load During Movements Not Go to the Muscles, Butse Nerve Fibers Are Squeezed Out And The PersonFeels the Bastards in the Back (Lumbago), Acute Pain (when the spine is pounded and not release for the short time) or nervous pain (when nervous pain) the finals 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 top of the thoracic region, the pain between the scapa and the heart, but if the vertebral vertebrae can already harm, respectively, the pain in the kidneys and other organs of the genitourinary system can look.
The causes of back pain
Now we will consider the main reasons why the backs most often give:
1. Diseases of the spine and other elements of the musculoskeletal system:
Osteochondrosis-The spinal disease, characterized by degenerative-distribution damage to 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.
Kyphosis-The pathological process in the spine, characterized by its curvature in the front of the plane, which usually occurs in the area of the thoracic region.In ordinary people is called "gorb", "hubbacked".
Scoliosis- The pathological process in the spine, characterized by its lateral curvature, right/left or on both sides.
Lordosis- The natural curve of the spine, especially visible in the lower back.But with the "pathological lordosis", this curve projects towards the front, and the person's posture remembers as if pulled forward.
Spondylolistz- Vertebral spine disease, 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 proper treatment, can lead to the curvature of the entire spinal spine (kyphosis, scoliosis, lordosis).
Ankylosing spondylitis -A genetically inflammatory chronic disease of the spine, in which sacral and illegal joints, vertebral joints and paravertebral tissues are affected, which leads to vertebra scraping and impaired natural mobility of the spine.
Intervertebral hernia- A pathological process in which the intervertebral disc under pressure is thinner and projects outside the intervertebral space.
Osteoporosis- Bone disease, characterized by a decrease in its density.The bones become more fragile and prone to injury.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 the bone tissue.
2. Spinal cord diseases:
The spinal cord, as we said, goes through the spine of the spine, connecting the brain and other organs, systems.Spinal cord diseases, or because it is pathologically affected by:
- Radiculitis;
- Myelitis;
- The curvature of the spine of the spine, which leads to a violation of the blood supply or innervation of the spine;
- Trauma of the spine of the spine;
- Abscesses;
- Cancer diseases;
- Vitamin deficiency B6, B12, B1 (are responsible for maintaining the functioning of the nervous system), copper;
- HIV infection;
- Syphilis;
- Sclerosis dispersed.
3. Diseases of the muscle tissues of the back:
- Fibromyalgia;
- Polymiciositis;
- Myofascial syndrome;
- Rabdomyolysis;
- Rheumatic polymalgia;
- Abscess;
- Charcot-Mari-tute disease (SMT, Hereditary Neuropathy, NMSN).
4. Other diseases, conditions and adverse factors, leading to back pain
Cardiovascular-axacular system aneurysm diseases.
Gastrointestinal tract diseases - pancreatitis, cholecystitis, stomach ulcer, duodenal ulcer, enterocolitis, biliary disease (housing and community services).
Diseases and condition of the genitourinary system - pyelonephritis, glomerulonephritis, urolithiasis (CDI), kidney disease (PCB), adnexitis, endometriosis, prostatitis, menstruation, climate.
Psychological disorders - stress, depression, neurosis, neurasthenia.
Benign and malignant tumors (cancer).
SMOPING THE BODY - Usually leads to a cold of the back nerves and their pain.
Poor or incorrectly selected mattress, pillow - become the culprits of back pain after sleep.
Heavy physical work associated with weight lifting - usually leads to vertebral lesions, intervertebral hernies and other spinal diseases.
A sedentary lifestyle (Hypodynamia) that 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 whole load does not go to the muscles, but to the spine, which leads to their wear and back in the back.Mainly office officials, IT experts suffer from hypodinamia.
Obesity - Overweight also carries your back as you walk.For the experiment, put 6 bottles of water of 2 liters in the backpack and walk with it with it around the house, do daily tasks (washing dishes, sweeping or cleaning, dust cleaning).Then remove it as sensations?Now imagine, an overweight person uses a backpack every second of your life, and some people carry 15, 20, 30 kg extra!It carries heavily almost every organs and systems, we put them on.
Pregnancy is another cause of back pain.
The causes of back pain, depending on their nature
Acute and chronic pain at the bottom of a painful nature- Myositis, lumbago, stretching of the back muscles, uncomfortable sleep place, hypothermia, inadequate lifting of large weights, uncomfortable workplace (chair, table height), displacement of intervertebral discs, osteochondrosis.

The causes of back pain, depending on its location
Right back pain- Scoliosis, displacement or hernia of intervertebral discs, gastrointestinal diseases, liver disease, right kidney inflammation (nephritis), ovary inflammation (oophoret), presence of kidney stones, myositis, neuritis, physical activity, obesity and back.

Pain in the area of the blades:
- If it hurts under the right shovel, there may be culprits - cholecystitis, pancreatitis, hepatitis, cirrhosis, biliary stone disease, vegetavovascular dystonia (VSD), intercostal neuralgia, cervical or thoracic osteochondrosis, osteomommy, khopholite, khofrosis, khofrosis, khofoliteKhofrose, khofolite, kyfolitis, kyfolitis, kyfolite, kyfolitis, kypholite, kyfolite, khofrose, khofrose, khofolite, kypholite, khophrose, scofolite.

Back pain - symptoms that usually accompany dorsalgia
- Dizziness, especially with a sharp curve of the head or when it rises from a sedentary position;
- The periodic appearance of "flies" in front of the eyes, darkening in the eyes, until the loss of consciousness;
- Headaches;
- Numbness on fingers, legs, hips, buttocks;
- Weakness in the arms, legs, general weakness, bad -staring, rapid loss of strength, feeling of collapse and no rash.
- A burning sensation or tingling in the arms and legs;
- Pain after sternum in muscles, joints, stomach;
- A sharp change in low blood pressure (100 to 60 or less) for high values (140 by 100 or more) and vice -versa during the day;
- Rapid or rare urination;
- When urinating or defecating, sensitivity is reduced;
- Parties on the back (lumbago);
- Gravity on the shoulders;
- Change of posture, march.
Back pain diagnosis
Among the examination methods that are used in distinguish dorsalgia:
- Visual examination of the back, palpation, raising complaints, anamnesis;
- Magnetic resonance imaging (magnetic resonance imaging);
- Computed tomography (CT);
- Radiography (X -ray);
- Electromyography (EMG);
- General and biochemical blood test.
How to relieve back pain?Treatment of dorsalgia
The treatment of back pain should be based mainly on the treatment of the underlying disease that caused dorsalgia.After all, if this is ordinary hypothermia, rubbing simple or a hot bathroom will relax the muscles and the pain will go through their own.But in the case of osteochondrosis or other diseases, simple heating will only have a temporary effect.
Thus, the treatment of dorsalgia is symptomatic, while the treatment of the underlying disease may differ significantly.
Consider the basic methods and medications that help relieve back pain.
1. Back pain medications
Anti -Inflammatory drugs non -esteroids (NSAIDs)- The main group of anti -inflammatory drugs and painkillers that occupy the main niche in the treatment of inflammatory diseases and pain syndromes.The only disadvantage of some drugs in the NSAID group (NSAINE) is its 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 NSAIDs, existing in the form of tablets, ointments, gels, injections.
Narcotic analgesics- They are used for acute back pain, which can accompany cancer diseases.They are produced strictly behind the prescription after weighing all the pros and cons.
Muselaxantes- A group of drugs that have the ability to relax the muscles of the body, thus relieving the cremation and pain in the muscles, its restriction.After all, it is stretching, the movement of restricted/tight muscle tissues causes their pain.
Vitamins B (B6, B1, B12)- Make a direct part in the formation and functioning of the nervous system of living organisms, people and representatives of the animal world.Because of this, its combination appears in the forefront in neurological disorders.The additional intake of these vitamins helps to kindly relieve inflammation of muscle tissue, relax the muscles, reduces pain.
2. Back pain injections
Acute back pain is successfully removed with NSAID injections, civil code or lock injections.
If all is clear with anti -inflammatory drugs and hormones, "blocking" action is based on the interception of the impulse of damage pain to the brain, so that the person does not feel pain, since the sign of the center does not reach the center to speak the interpretation of information.Therapeutic blockages are placed at trigger points in the pain zone.
This also means relaxing muscle tissue, removing its spasmodic and pain.
Injections, depending on the appointment, may be muscles, subcutaneously, intraderally or through a catheter.
3. Physiotherapeutic remedies for back pain
Electro Rolling -Reostimulation (Bosses)- The anesthesia method due to electrical arousal (stimulation) with a special device of sensory nerves.
Magnetic therapy- It helps to 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 zones of light rays of the red, infrared or ultraviolet spectrum.It is used for almost all diseases in the spine spine, accompanied by pain.
Electrophoresis- The introduction of medicines is performed under the influence of small electrical impulses, which prolongs the beneficial effect of therapeutic substances.
Phonophoresis- The method is similar to electrophoresis, only drugs are administered with ultrasound support.
Medical Physical Education (Exercise Therapy)- Also one of the effective ways of relieving chronic back pain.After all, as we have said, work sitting and, in general, hypodynamam, leads to the weakness of the back muscles, which is why all the load when walking and other actions of the body fall into the spine, which is wrong.The entire load should reach the muscles of the back and other organs.Therefore, the dose physical activity using specially selected exercises allows you to increase the tone of the muscle tissue, thus discharging the spine.People who started engaging in physical education say the walk has become much easier, the pain disappears.
Just pay attention, we are talking about the right exercise therapy!Even the dumbbells, and they need to be raised correctly, not as they have reached.Banal squats should also have straight backs and a knee joint curve at a right angle.There is an opportunity, hire a specially trained fitness coach.
Massage- It helps relieve confusion of muscle tissue, but in the absence of lifestyle changes, massage will have only a short -term effect.
You can also use bandage/corset, which help develop the correct body position, for example when working in a sitting position.Fixing with these devices is used after back injury, or surgical intervention in the spine.
4. Surgical treatment of back pain
The operation at the rear is performed if there are indications for your conduct, which can be assigned:
- The presence of intervertebral hernias if they tighten the spinal cord (myelopathy) or the root of the spinal nucleus (radiculopathy);
- Spinal spine curvature - scoliosis, kyphosis, pathological lordosis;
- Lesion in the spine.
After treatment
After treatment of underlying disease, back pain syndrome may still be present for some time;Therefore, patients with muscle -akeletal diseases are directed to restore to specialized resort rehabilitation centers.
It is in these centers that the devices for physical therapy treatment are installed, the massage is prescribed, exercise exercises are selected and, if necessary, specialized dietary nutrition is prescribed.
Popular back pain remedies
Before treatment, 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 the term "mud and mud" where clay can also be used.For the preparation of an anti -fiber remedy successfully used by popular healer for radiculitis, you need to mix 100 g of blue or green clay with 500 ml apple or wine vinegar.Clay can be bought in a pharmacy.Heat a mixture of clay of up to 38 degrees on a ceramic plate and apply it to the site of radiculitis.At the top, wrap the body of the body with a food or polyethylene movie, wrapping on a hot cloth, for example, with a wool scarf.The duration of the compress is 1 hour.After rinsing the clay with warm water, clean the body from moisture and tie 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 osteochondrosis and intervertebral hernia.Mix 100 g of green or blue clay, 600 ml of warm water, 1 teaspoon aloe juice and 1 tsp natural honey.Apply the resulting mixture to the painful area, wrap it up with plastic wrap and wrap it with a hot wool scarf.The duration of the compress is 1 hour.After rinsing the mixture with warm water and wrap the place with a hot handkerchief.The course is 3 times a day, within 2 weeks.With honey allergies, you can do it without it.

Back pain prevention
To avoid dorsalgia, follow the following recommendations:
- Move more, do not allow you to use extra pounds of fat deposits;
- If you work sitting, leave once per time of the workplace and charge to improve blood circulation, especially in places where it was insufficient due to the session;
- If you raise severity, do it well - with flat back and, of course, especially for young people, do not pull superpowers to yourself, even if you have the strength to do this, because the consequences can significantly worsen the quality of life in case of injury;
- If you use heavy things like store packages, distribute the weight of two hands so that there is no distortion on one side;
- When you walk or sit, do it with flat backs, do not lean;
- Take carefully to choose a work chair and sleeping mattress/pillows, they must have an orthopedic effect and select at height, body weight;
- Refuse high shoes, girls, especially young people, when there is acute back pain, almost always sounds in my head - “what I thought of my youth”, be vigilant now, take care of your health;
- Try to swim more, this is a wonderful preventive and therapeutic agent of spinal diseases and pathologies;
- In the case of the first back pain, consult a doctor, because in the case of the beginning of the disease, you can do with simple exercise and friction and, if the process is launched, an operation may be required;
- In food, eat more foods rich in vitamins and minerals;
- Do not buy a backpack or backpack from your child to wear over the shoulder, because in childhood this is a direct path to osteochondrosis, scoliosis;
- Do not roll the attractions with a large agitation body, such as a water banana or a high -speed water tablet, because this entertainment often ends with a vertebra fracture, intervertebral hernia and other spinal injuries/diseases;
- Delete alcohol and smoke from your life.
