To be strictly vertically can be only in a state of tension, that is to say, if the ends of your link to the little brooks and strip them — rod will be direct, and worth strings drop will accept unstable, curve type.

Something similar seems and spine: the central role of the rod of this wonderful bio-construction of the human body, and the role of the curve thread placed on the muscles of the back. Now, suppose that the rod is threaded and the body with all its internal organs, so that the poor threads-the muscles must be able to withstand not only the weight of the spine-rod, but his own weight all over the body, and constantly.

Unconsciously, you come to the conclusion that in reality the creator of us has thought at first, not Homo erectus, because "the wages of bipedalism" is something excessively large. Open any medical reference in the section "Diseases of the locomotor apparatus", to make sure of it.

The most frequent causes of pain in the back

However, just come to the conclusion that most hurts the back, which is without a doubt something is seriously sick, it is not worth. Over 80% of back pain can occur periodically for the following reasons:

  • muscles due to physical exertion
  • prolonged of the spine in the same posture during sleep, the seat of the computer, transportation, etc
  • the supercooling of the back due to the presence in the air stream, in front of the air conditioner, when leaving the hot local in fresh, cool air, cold bathing.

  1. The osteochondrosis, which emerged as a result of calcification of the changes in the tissue of a vertebral disc
  2. Scoliosis — curvature, which leads to a displacement of the unit, and injury to them nervous
  3. Intervertebral hernia is the output of the drive motor in the spinal column, or (what is much worse) — on the side of the spinal cord
  4. Spondylolisthesis is the sliding top of the lower vertebrae, as a result of the deformation of the legs of the vertebra, so the spine becomes the ladder with the intrusion of the steps of the
  5. The disease behtereva (spondylitis) — inflammation of the ligaments and joints, which leads to immobility. Mainly because it suffering men. The danger of this rare disease in its ongoing gradual development of the capture of all the departments of the vertebral column before passing to the internal organs: the lungs, the kidneys, the heart, the blood vessels, the organs of sight.
  6. Cancer disease — a tumor in the spine may be primary, but more often it occurs in the form of metastasis from other organs. Percentage of the total of the causes of around one percent.

  8. Compression fractures of the disease, unfortunately, is relatively common (around 4%). In the youth, mainly, the athletes due to unbearable burdens and injuries, in old age, because of the phenomena, because that the vertebrae no longer support the weight of the person.
  9. Myalgia — chronic, due to the constant hypothermia, inflammation of the muscle tissues

In all cases after treatment, the pain and the inflammatory processes it is necessary to begin treatment of the underlying disease that caused the pain.

Types of back pain: causes and treatment

  2. Osteohondroznye the deformation of the vertebrae and the pressure of the nerve root intervertebral hernia
  3. Spondylolisthesis and other diseases
  4. Injuries and bruises received as a result of falls In this case, it may be necessary not only conservative, but surgical treatment.
  5. Diseases of the internal organs.

For the diagnosis it is important to the definition of the plot, in which the back pain:

The acute pain in the lower part of the back can be reasons:

  • the stones in the kidneys
  • the aggravations of diseases of the intestine

If you suffer from back pain in the area of the vanes, this can mean:

  • neuro-muscular myopathy and paralysis of adjacent blades muscles and, consequently, develops the so-called "pterygoid" shovel
  • osteomyelitis developed after open injuries
  • benign and malignant tumors of the sarcomas of the vanes
  • the myocardial infarction
  • aneurysm of breastfeeding and the division of the aorta

Pain below the left with a spatula, acute is also very disturbing, because it testifies of these diseases:

  • pleural effusion (accumulation of fluid in lightweight)
  • the cancer of lung and bronchus
  • the attack of the acute cholecystitis — in this case, the pain is centered beneath the ribs and to the right of the epigastric region, but the scope of your backlinks broad: the right scapula and shoulder, the arm, the left side of the sternum
  • the attack of acute pancreatitis is pain gives to the left hand, a spatula in the area of the left breast and the heart

Acute pain (sciatica) — sharp stabbing low back pain-part sacrum (sciatica), often in the buttock and the leg, may be due to:

  • impingement of the sciatic nerve, osteochondrosis, hernia, and displacement of intervertebral disc, stenosis of the spinal canal
  • the inflammation of the sciatic nerve in the result of hypothermia
  • spasm of the piriformis muscle
  • infectious diseases and tumors
  • duration of pregnancy

The treatment of all acute pain caused by the progressive disease of the spine, as scoliosis, osteochondrosis and other, as well as its complications, must be accepted schema:

First is the medication to fix the acute pain and the inflammatory process:

  • the reception of the pain relievers, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs anti-inflammatory of the media and a muscle relaxant

Then, the course of the reception of medications that improve the functioning of the brain, the nervous system and the circulatory system

  2. The inflammation of the lumbar muscles (myositis)
  3. Adneksit (inflammation of appendages) in women)
  4. The increased physical load
  5. The prolonged awkward posture
  6. The old injury, often the pain, "the time"
