Pain in the lower back area.

With back pain knows almost everyone. Such complaints such as sciatica, lumbago, is very common causes of temporary inability to work, especially in the case of humans, the physical work. Most lower back pain associated with changes in the lumbosacral spine, to take very seriously. Although pain can be in the lumbar region and the consequence of congenital malformations of the spine and their ligaments, acute and chronic infections, poisoning, or tumors.

Pain is sometimes very strong and sometimes the person is suffer you easily enough. The fact that the reactions to pain are individual, impact the mental and age-related factors. At the age pain in sciatica is very strong, although in General, the perception of pain in people weakened by old age. And in the case of patients with mental disorders, sensitivity to pain is significantly reduced, including sciatica.

Pain - a complex adaptive mechanism, sometimes referred to as her "guard dog" of health. Caused by external influences, or malfunction in the body, it signals danger. After the pain signal, the body includes mechanisms to protect against harmful effects. Through the pain, a number of pathological processes are to be found earlier, as there are any external symptoms of the disease. So that the sensation of pain will play a positive role: they give to know, to act it is time. If you have any pain in the lower back and sacrum, do not hesitate, contact your doctor. Remember the Eastern wisdom: "treat a mild disease, not to treat serious had to".

A third of patients with back pain due to degenerative changes in the spine, a common name of "osteochondrosis". Osteochondrosis complex of the changes of the bones and ligaments of the spine, caused by Degeneration of the intervertebral discs. In addition, in the case of osteochondrosis in the spine bony outgrowths can form osteophytes, nerve roots irritate nerves and sensitive nerve endings of the spinal column and ligaments, causing a dull nagging pain in the back.

The intervertebral discs are a lenticular lens, according to the Form of the corresponding small depressions on the surface of the vertebral body. With the age of the drives to moisture, dry to lose, in you the cracks, fractures and cracks to appear. As a result the vortex will move and can slip off of the hard drive to find what is a narrowing of the intervertebral Foramen, the feeling of pressure spinal nerve root here. The vertebrae of the lumbar spine will experience the most mobile and at the same time, the maximum load when lifting heavy objects. So washers between them particularly susceptible to deformation.

Pain-Back Pain

Suffering barer osteochondrosis experience a strong pain, and the reason is not only the mechanical irritation of the nerves: when rupture of the membranes and separation walls of the disc substances liberated, annoying pain receptors.

In a later stage of the disease protrude the discs, forming the so-called mezhpozvonkovuyu hernia, which usually occurs in people in middle and advanced age. Most often, the discs of the lumbar spine, the intervertebral holes between the IV and V protocols, the lumbar vertebrae and between the V lumbar vertebra and the sacrum - the narrow, but the nerve root of the most intense. mezhpozvonkovaya hernia is very dangerous. And it's not just a question of roots is pinching nerves and causing the pain according to the type of sciatica. Massive herniated disc presses on the spinal cord, resulting in loss of sensitivity or even paralysis of the legs, as well as to disturbances in the water.

For lumbar disc herniation the following symptoms: "spacer characterized by" Patient, when you stand up, support yourself with your hands on your knees or a chair, the load on the affected drive; the "cushion" - the inability to lie on your stomach, placing it on the pillow; "landing" - the Patient tries to lift it to tilt a little from the ground, and crouching in the squatting position.

One of the main causes for degenerative disc disease of the spine - injury of the fat-and salt-exchange of substances. Sometimes osteochondrosis arises as a result of abnormalities of the intervertebral discs, their innate inferiority. Among the external factors, the modern development and aggravation of lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration, high humidity, strong temperature fluctuations, draughts; a significant and sustained muscle tension and the muscle and ligaments of the lumbosacral spine; the mechanical injuries and chronic infections.

The most common diagnosis for severe pain in the back sciatica. For a long time it was believed that this disease is an infectious origin. Practice shows, however, that in patients in the body temperature rises, does not increase the number of leukocytes in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid. Sciatica is almost non-sick children. In most cases, unlikely to be the cause of sciatica, can be a infection.

Really, sciatica - one of the most common manifestations of osteochondrosis. Pain in the lumbosacral region with this disease can be acute, both, and so stupid. It is usually one-sided, the buttocks, the back of the thigh and outer side of the lower leg. The pain of radiculitis may be going increasingly in the case of a change of posture, coughing, sneezing, straining. Sometimes it is combined with sensations of numbness, stinging, tingling, burning, itching. The sensitivity of the skin, painful the muscles of the loins, buttocks increased lower-leg.

Symptoms of sciatica enough. The patient's changing gait, posture, the characteristic movements and posture. When he has to go tends to be the torso to the front and to the side of the healthy leg. In the sick leg are bent, which reduces the tension of the nerve trunks. The movement of the body in the lumbar spine is limited. On the affected side, the muscles of the back tense. With radiculitis is often the spine is curved. The Patient is a healthy buttocks, torso, knocking it back with the slope on the side of the healthy leg. If he needs to lift from the floor, he ducks into the squat or tilts the torso forward, bending the affected leg. In the supine position, the Patient is bent the leg in the rule.

Mild forms of sciatica do not restrict almost, the patient is in motion. If the disease progresses, decreases muscle tension, appears muscle weakness, patients worried about itching, a feeling of "pins and needles". Lying in bed, suffering at not a comfortable Position. You often feel a cooling, dryness, or, on the contrary, the moisture-holding. The skin on the feet faded or bluish and scans. But if you should these symptoms not the diagnosis of "sciatica put premature". A similar pattern give pannikulez - inflammation of the subcutaneous fat tissue on the bottom of the metabolic disorders in the fatty tissue, as well as the defeat of the joints of the legs.

Apart from recurring sciatica this acute Form of the disease the lumbar spine, such as Lumbago or lumbago is widely used. In the case of lumbago the nerve roots, irritated nerves, and there is a sharp strong pain. It most often occurs in people who do heavy physical work, as a result of the strain of lumbar muscles, and, often, with colds. But sometimes an attack of lumbago, acute and chronic infections can cause, he, too, can be one of the manifestations of sciatica. Pain usually after a few days stop, but sometimes two to three weeks. While the attack does not allow the patient better bed rest for to comply with.

A special Form of lumbago arises when, after a severe physical strain a tear of the muscle bundles, tendons, or bleeding in the muscles occurs. This type of lumbago shows pain of the back, over the entire length of the spine, and a feeling of General muscle fatigue.

It should be particularly emphasized: if you lumbar sick, it does not mean that amazed the spine. The cause of back Myositis (inflammatory process), the lumbar muscles can cause pain. The disease lasts for a long time. Muscle pain so severe, as in the lumbago, and a dull, aching. The muscles to be sealed, painful, feeling, and voltage. In patients with chronic infections and metabolic disorders Myositis lumbar muscles can be combined with pain in the joints.

Loin pains: what to do?

Back pain is so strong that you without treatment. Regardless of the cause of the heart attack, in the first days you must stay in bed. In the following days, the pain calms down, the Patient is allowed to go, wherein, preferably, first of all, on crutches, for the relief of the spine. The bed needs to be hard - a thin mattress placed on the wooden plate.

For the local heating in the area of greatest pain annoying used ointments, and mustard or a pepper plaster. Relief on a warm wool scarf, a heating pad, a bag with heated Sand, leech. A good anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents helps to such a beating. In the case of scoliosis hot compresses help.

Analgesic effect elektroprotsedury: percutaneous electric anal'geziya, sinusoidal modulated currents, diadynamic currents, electrophoresis with novocaine and other. For the same purpose may be used, reflexology (acupuncture, Moxibustion, electro-acupuncture, laser therapy) and procaine Blockade. In the case of radiculitis, caused by the displacement of the intervertebral disc, apply traktsionnuyu therapy - extension of the trunk on the bed or under the water. This procedure should be in a hospital. Effective in balneotherapy of chloride, sodium, Radon, sulfide, turpentine, bromine baths, Naftalan, moor applications, low temperatures.

One of the actively developing types of therapeutic effects in pain in the back the method of "Biofeedback". Be the principle, the outstanding domestic physiologist P. K. Anochin founded in the 30s of the last century. Method for communication of Management functions of an organism. Its application provides for the treatment of back pain. In front of the patient, the task is put, as far as possible, the back muscles relax. The Patient sees his own elektromiogrammu, the muscle tension, the sounds on the screen and, if you are heavily loaded, the acoustic Signal. In the case of relaxation of the Amplitude of the electromyogram of the sound is reduced turned off. In consequence, the patients had formed, the Motivation is a reduction of pathological muscle tension. In General, the results are not immediately achieved. Thus, the Patient learned to relax and manage the tone of the muscles, the five-to-six sessions. To manage In the future, patients will be able relaxation of the muscles of the back.

Of great importance for the elimination of pain and prevention of heart attacks has to wear the outer fixtures - orthoses: corset, posture corrector; reklinatora (a special corset, so that the slope), compression bandages, as well as the waistband: elasticated, belt weight lifter or installer. They all warn the deformation of the spine, improved to give the venous and lymphatic drainage, the figure slim. Well, if the composition of the material from which the tape is made of wool.

It should only take into account that if you can cause of the medical Council, the regular wearing of orthoses and damage. First of all, wear it over the underwear tried on, in order to avoid chafing. Over-tightening of the orthotic difficult breathing, digestion and blood circulation in the lower half of the body. To not separate from you, neither day nor night, atrophy of the muscles of the lumbar spine. Orthotics are useful in prolonged sitting at the table, the intense physical strain of the journey in public transport. In the rest of the time better off without you - the muscles have to work. The perfect remedy for the pain in the back and are sick of exercises gymnastics. Own muscle "corset" artificial "support" for the spine unnecessarily.

Sometimes, the pain is attack, must take the patient to the intake of anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents. In the case of very strong pain, they are more efficient than intramuscular injection. In General, analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs . Inflammation non-inflammatory-steroidal means miss it is not worth it. Contraindications for the application of gastric ulcer and 12 duodenal ulcer in acute Phase, the expression of the human liver. To avoid complications, you only need to a drug short courses of 5-7 days, pre-arranged, taking into account the individual characteristics of the organism

In old age (over 65 years) with hypertension, congestive heart failure or stomach ulcers-to replace steroidal medicines better, the so-called inhibitors of Cyclooxygenase-2. These drugs do not irritate virtually the gastro-intestinal tract and have no other side effects. Well to a course of injections of vitamins, especially of group B.
