Often, complaining of back pain, you can hear a confident diagnosis (even from a doctor!): "You have osteochondrosis". But many doctors claim that in 50% of cases this diagnosis is erroneous. The Japanese believe that if you have a backache, this indicates a general unhappy body. So do not hurry to sign up for a session of manual therapy, maybe your problem is not connected with the spine. Causes and treatment of back pain is an actual topic for many of us ...
ALWAYS ON CONNECTION
In the East, a close energy relationship between the spine and internal organs has long been noticed. Academic medicine is ready to agree with this, although it approaches the question of interconnection more pragmatically: the nerve endings from the spinal cord extend to the internal organs. So the signal about the inferiority of the internal organ will certainly reach the corresponding spine department, which will affect the back in the form of acute pain, tingling or lumps.
"Many of us do not even think that, for example, low back pain can be a consequence of exacerbation of gastritis or inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs," adds Sergei Tarasyuk, a neurologist at the Moscow Homeopathic Center. - If the back pain is caused by a violation of the activity of an internal organ, there will be other signs of the disease. So, in case of gastritis it is an unpleasant odor from the mouth or a digestive disorder. "
That is why a close neurologist and therapist cooperation is necessary to establish the diagnosis and treatment of back pain. Initially, the diagnosis and treatment is prescribed by a neurologist. After a roentgen of a backbone it is already possible to draw some conclusions about the reasons of pains. If they are based on diseases of the internal organs, the treatment will be continued by the therapist.
NECK HURTS
A beautiful half of humanity often encounters pain in the neck. And this is by no means an accident! "The cervical spine is the most mobile," explains Sergey Tarasyuk. "Any awkward movement or turn can cause a slight displacement of the vertebrae, sprain or muscle spasm in this area."
What to do?
Such back injuries often go away by themselves without medical intervention in a few days (if you are a happy owner of a relatively healthy back). The most important thing in this situation is to relax the muscles. To do this, use the ice in the first 24 hours, which will cope very well with this task. Then switch to heat - do not rub the sore spot very much, it is advisable to use an ointment or cream with a warming effect. And do not stay in bed for long! A prolonged bed rest weakens the back muscles, and any active activity in moderate amounts will be extremely useful for their recovery after a microtrauma. If, after all of the above measures, back pain does not subside within a week, consult a doctor.
Sore Bruce
With pain in the lumbar region, young women can face after pregnancy or sudden weight loss. This is due to the fact that the internal organs of the abdominal cavity are displaced from their places of nature and create an unnecessary burden on the spine, mainly on the lumbar spine. "During pregnancy, the ligaments with which the abdominal cavity organs are attached to the vertebral column are stretched," explains Galina Zyukina, an osteopathic physician at Silk Way. "They'll need some time to get back to normal." The same thing happens with a sharp weight loss because of large losses of internal fat. "
What to do?
In order for internal organs to quickly take their original position, use corrective linen or bandage. It should be worn daily for a minimum of 3-4 weeks, and then as necessary. And be sure to visit the osteopath. After several sessions of massage of the abdomen from pain in the back, there will be no trace.
VOLTAGE IN SPIN
All the stress of wine - we are used to this statement and do not take it seriously. But in case of back pain, it is not really relevant. Stressful situations, depression lasting for several weeks, lead to overstrain of the muscles, including the back, vasospasm ... It breaks not only the nutrition of the spine, but can lead to its curvature or displacement of the vertebrae.
What to do?
The state of increased stress and anxiety can only be removed by a neurologist. He will eliminate the physical cause of the pain and give you psychological support. In especially severe cases, psychotropic medications or antidepressants will be required. Only an expert can assign them!
GRAVITY IN SPIN
One of the most common phenomena is a feeling of heaviness in the muscles of the back and spine. This is the so-called tired muscle syndrome, which is manifested even in very young women. This ailment has a very simple reason, and the treatment of back pain of this type is also not difficult. The reason - a long overload or lack of proper rest. In tired muscles, lactic acid (a byproduct of muscle cells work) often accumulates, which causes these unpleasant sensations. To remove it from muscle fibers, a large amount of oxygen is needed.
What to do?
As soon as you feel the approaching fatigue, start breathing deeply. Take a slow breath, then a slow exhalation. Repeat this exercise several times. If the back muscles seem heavy and tired for no apparent reason for several weeks, consult a doctor.
