Unfortunately, almost all of us throughout our lives felt what acute back pain was. But only a few know how to behave properly in this case, and even more so, which proposed treatment methods to agree to, and which are better to refuse.
First you need to know what pains are and what causes them. As a rule, there are several of the most common diseases and their names. The first of them is lumbago, which is an unexpectedly acute painful sensation that occurs directly in the lower back.
Radiculitis is also distinguished, which is pain along the entire nerve root, mainly going to the left or right leg from the lower back. Often she gives to the back of the thigh and is slightly lower, and sometimes reaches the tips of the toes.
Often such an acute back pain is called sciatica, which means inflammation of the sciatic nerve itself. It should be noted that sciatica, lumbago and sciatica are not independent diseases, but only symptoms that characterize the spread of pain.
In addition, there are many reasons that cause back pain. Therefore, quite often a professional can not immediately determine accurately the source of their occurrence. The most common causes are nevertheless various injuries, infections, tumors and collagenoses.
Also, acute back pain can be caused by a number of diseases. Among them are diseases of the cardiovascular, urinary and respiratory systems, musculoskeletal system, pelvic organs and gastrointestinal tract.
Today there are many theories that explain the emergence of such rather unpleasant sensations. And already following these theories, various treatment methods are being created. As a rule, pain occurs with a sharp, and sometimes the simplest movement or rotation of the body. And not the last reason for this is the fact that after 30 people stop monitoring the tone of their own muscles, for the normal functioning of which it is simply necessary.
And all because each muscle is a kind of "overpass" of many nerves and blood vessels. If it works, then this part of the body also functions accordingly. After all, all fluids, lymph and blood pass through it. And if it does not work (atrophies), then the body has to look for workarounds.
And as a result - there is a sharp pain in the back. As the weight of the body grows every year , the muscles become smaller and, therefore, the possibilities of bypassing “non-working” zones are not increasing. Just then there are situations in which a previously quietly executed movement suddenly becomes impossible. And that same pain arises.
It becomes much more difficult for a person to perform movements, because the muscles remain in the minority, and the load on them increases. And sooner or later you have to pay for a similar attitude to your own body. And retribution is an acute back pain that occurs regardless of a person’s gender and age.
At the first manifestations, it is necessary to appear to a specialist and consult with a professional. This is required in order to avoid the development of more serious and complex diseases. After all, if this has already manifested itself, it means that it signals certain violations in the body. And in this case, treatment is necessary.
As a rule, at first it is worth excluding the likelihood of non-spinal ailments. Mainly in order to prevent in any case the development of fatal diseases such as, for example, aortic aneurysm. But, as practice shows, sharp back pain is often caused by various disorders or pathologies of the spine.
Treatment can be (depending on the stage of the disease) either conservative or surgical. Conservative implies massages, balneotherapy, special gymnastics and manual therapy. In the case when conservative methods do not bring any relief, surgical treatment is used.
