Back, back pain

Back pain can manifest itself in different ways. Thus, experts distinguish 4 main types of pain:

1. Acute (lumbago) - low back pain as a result of degenerative changes or previous spinal injuries. In other words, the disease is called "lumbar lumbago". Pathologically, this area is characterized by increasing serious discomfort when increasing any physical activity (sports activities, lifting weights, brisk walking long distances, etc. ). Pulsating or shooting pain in the lower back often spreads to surrounding organs and tissues.
2. Subacute or chronic (lumbodynia) - from osteochondrosis of the spine, scoliosis, dystrophic changes in the spine and intervertebral discs, etc. Can cause. or standing. For this reason, patients are forced to lie down or bend over.
3. Radiation in the leg (lumboischialgia) - painful sensations, fever or tremors in the lower back and left or right leg. In this case, the pain spreads to the thigh area and increases with changes in body position.
4. Severe neuropathic (radiculopathy or lumbosacral radiculitis) is a compression or damage of nerve roots and is characterized by sharp, piercing pain in one of the vertebrae, persistent tension in the lumbar muscles, discomfort behind the thighs, and bloating. , burning and numbness of the extremities.

But for successful treatment it is necessary to know the causes of the onset and development of pain. Specialists working in our center will make the diagnosis easily and painlessly, after which they will prescribe the appropriate treatment for you.

Note! If you find yourself in any of the above types of pain, do not delay your visit to a doctor - vertebrologist, neurologist or therapist. Otherwise, your condition may worsen, which can lead to any complications.

Causes of pain

Low back pain can have a variety of causes, from inflammation of the muscles and bone marrow to diseases of the internal organs. The main causes of low back pain:

Degenerative-dystrophic processes

Degenerative-dystrophic processes cause the following pathologies:

• Osteochondrosis of the spine - degenerative changes occur when cracks form in the intervertebral discs and in the case of a hernia in this area.
• Poor posture (including in the background of scoliosis) - often causes back pain in the absence of timely treatment.
• Excessive tension or severe hypothermia of the muscles in the lumbar region - pain in nature attracts and restricts (a person can not straighten the spine for a long time).
• Spondylolisthesis - a disease that involves the displacement of the spine.

Inflammatory processes

Inflammatory processes also cause discomfort in the lower back:

• Inflammation of the muscles (myositis) - occurs with various bacterial and viral infections.
• Ankylosing spondylitis - the disease involves inflammation of the intervertebral and costal-vertebral joints, as well as the ligaments of the spine. As a result, the spine loses its previous mobility and elasticity and is therefore easily injured as a result of falls and blows.
• Osteomyelitis of the spine - the disease involves inflammation of the bone marrow, provoked by pathogenic pathogens (streptococci, staphylococci, mycobacterium tuberculosis, etc. ).
• Tuberculous spondylitis is a chronic inflammation of the spine caused by tuberculosis pathogens. Bacteria enter the general bloodstream and then the bone tissue.

In addition, inflammatory processes include infectious diseases of the nervous system (including meningitis).

Diseases of the internal organs and pelvic organs

Low back pain can be caused by diseases of the internal organs, for example:

• Peptic ulcer and 12-finger intestinal ulcer.
• Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas, damage to the body by its own enzymes).
• Cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder wall).
• Urolithiasis.
• Pelvic organ diseases (uterus, prostate, etc. ) that are typical not only for women but also for men.

It is important! Other causes of back pain include osteoporosis (damage to all skeletal bones), congenital anomalies of the spine, neuroses, spinal cord tumors, etc.

Diagnosis of low back pain

The following types of diagnostics are prescribed for low back pain:

• Magnetic resonance imaging of the waist.
• CT (X-ray computed tomography).
• Blood and urine tests.
• Ultrasound examination of the kidneys, pelvic organs and prostate gland (in men).

Our center is equipped with all the necessary equipment for diagnostic tests (MRI, ultrasound, etc. ), as well as a modern sports therapy room where you can protect your health after therapy.

Pain management with manual therapy

Manual therapy is a method of treatment, diagnosis and prevention of diseases of the musculoskeletal system with the help of hands. This is the oldest method of therapy officially recognized by local and foreign medicine.

The therapeutic effect of manual therapy is immediately noticeable. After the first session, the patient's condition improves significantly. The following effects are observed during therapy:

• Reducing and completely eliminating pain in the future.
• Restoration of blood circulation.
• Eliminate muscle tension and cramps.
• Elimination of signs of harmful sensitivity (numbness, burning, "gas lumps", tingling of the lower extremities).
• Improving the work of internal organs.

In this position, the vertebra gently and painlessly "rises" to its previous position (ie, the previous displacement is eliminated).

Our clinic is staffed by experienced, trained specialists who know biomechanics and human anatomy. The duration of the course is determined individually and depends on the severity and type of the disease. Experience has shown that generally 5-10 procedures are required, but sometimes more. After treatment, our modern health room is at your service that can not only improve your health, but also prevent possible relapses of the disease.

Back pain is the result of various factors, including osteochondrosis, osteomyelitis, ankylosing spondylitis, etc. As can be serious diseases. Therefore, do not delay the diagnosis and treatment. The sooner you see your doctor, the better your chances of recovery. Our caring and attentive doctors will always help you.
