Types and causes of back pain

The back is an inevitable phenomenon, and we will be in our lives sooner or later. pain is Even if you are not thresholds stacker or loader, not the wife, of the home daily many pounds of heavy bags, gardener, not a lover, not avoid on the beds in his dacha in the spring and in the period field, and not an athlete, weight lifter still in pain. You can only wonder: how practically are not present, but at the end of the day, the lower back starts to hurt and there is a discomfort in the neck, shoulder area and in the area of the shoulder blades sitting, without effort, all day on the Computer, loads.

Actually, the causes of pain in the back large amount. And even the first of them — the anatomical. Angel design made up of many units, as in an upright Position, very fragile: it undergoes in the longitudinal direction (compressive) and horizontal loads. To be strictly vertical, it can only be in a state of tension, i.e., if at the ends you tie the strings and pull — rod is a direct and cost threads release — is uncertain, curved optics.

Something similar recalls and spine: he takes on the role of the Central staff of this wonderful organic construction of the human body and the role of pulling the strings of the back muscles. Now, imagine that the port is still bound and the body with all its internal organs, so that the poor threads-the muscles need to not only stand the weight of the spine hold the rod, but also the self-weight of the whole body, constantly.

Involuntarily you come to the conclusion, that indeed the Creator has not planned for us first, Homo erectus, because of the "fee for two-legged" is any excessively large. You can open a any medical Handbook, in the section "diseases of the musculoskeletal system", to convince yourself of this.

The most common causes of back pain

But to immediately draw the conclusion that time, the back hurts, then they are certainly something to seriously ill, it is not worth it. More than 80% of back pain arise at regular intervals for the following reasons:

  • overexertion of the muscles due to the physical
  • prolonged exposure of the spine in the same Position while sleeping, sitting at the Computer, transport, etc.
  • Sub-cooling of the back because of a finding on the draughty, in front of the air conditioning, when getting out of the hot room into the fresh cool air, cold bathing.
  • the old, the earlier and poorly-healed injuries (sprains, bruises)

Much less back pain reasons really serious discomfort. Which of these can be the causes? They are very diverse and not always in connection with damage to segments of the spine and resulting diseases.

It happens that a Person has a diseased Organ, and there is pain, radiating to the back, for example:

  • in the case of renal patients, pain in the lower back is
  • gynecological diseases pain in women may be in the lumbosacral
  • in the presence of tumors pain may be, in certain areas of the back

Therefore, before the treatment of back pain before you install the actual causes, that is to say, a thorough diagnosis on the presence of other possible diseases.

  3. Intervertebral hernia — with the publication of the hard disk drive of a core in the spine, or (what is much worse) — in the direction of the spinal cord
  4. Spondylolisthesis — slippage of the upper vertebra on the lower, as a result of the deformation of the legs, vertebra, making the spinal column is like a ladder with projecting stages
  5. Bechterew's disease (Spondylitis) inflammation of the ligaments and joints, leading to their immobility. Especially it concerns men. The risk of this rare disease in its ongoing development — the gradual acquisition of all the departments prior to the transition of the spine to the internal organs: lungs, kidneys, heart, blood vessels, organs of vision.
  6. Oncological diseases — the Tumor in the spine can and fresh, but most often occurs in the Form of metastases from other organs. The percentage of the total number of the reasons about one percent.
  7. Infections of the spine — tuberculosis, Osteomyelitis, Syphilis, and other diseases as causes of pain are especially rare (in the order of 0.01%)
  8. Compression fractures of the disease, unfortunately, relatively common (about 4%). In the youth learning occurs mainly in sports because of the excessive loads, and injuries in old age — because of the phenomena, from which the vortex no longer withstand the weight of the people.
  9. Myalgia is a chronic, constant hypothermia, inflammation of the muscle tissue

In all cases, after the treatment of painful and inflammatory processes.the treatment of the underlying disease, which provokes the pain

According to the character of the pain, you can pre-determine their causes and then assign the appropriate treatment.

Acute pain (Lumbago) can the following reasons:

  1. Complications of scoliosis — pinched nerve as a result of the displacement of the disks
  2. Osteohondroznye of the spine and compression of the nerve deformation of root herniated disc
  3. Spondylolisthesis and other diseases
  4. Injuries and injuries that result from falls In this case, it may be necessary, not only conservative but also surgical treatment.
  5. Diseases of the internal organs.

For the diagnosis an important role in the determination of the Phase in of the back pain:

  • Stones in the gallbladder
  • Myocardial infarction
  • Rupture of the esophagus
  • Aneurysm of the lower division of the Aorta and other.

If back pain in the area of the shoulder blades, it can mean:

  • Neuro-muscle myopathy, and paralysis developed adjacent to the blades of the muscle system, in consequence of a so-called "webbed" paddle
  • Osteomyelitis after open injuries
  • benign tumors and malignant sarcomas of the shoulder blades
  • Myocardial infarction
  • Aneurysm of the thoracic Aorta

Pain under the left shoulder blade acute is also very worrying, because it is a sign of such diseases:

  • Myocardial infarction
  • perforated ulcer ulcer of the stomach
  • intercostal neuralgia

Acute pain in the upper back area:

Acute pain (sciatica) — acute-occurring stabbing pain in the lumbosacral (sciatic), often radiating to the buttocks and feet, according to reason:

  • Crushing of the sciatic nerve in osteochondrosis, hernia, and displacement of the intervertebral disc, spinal stenosis
  • Sciatica as a result of hypothermia
  • Spasm of piriformis muscle
  • Infectious diseases and tumors
  • later in the pregnancy

Drawing pain in the back — mostly in the lower back can cause of the following reasons:

  1. Sciatica, osteochondrosis, spondylosis, and other pathologies of the spine in the chronic Phase
  2. Inflammation of the lumbar muscles (Myositis)

  4. Great physical stress
  5. Long-term poor posture
