  • congenital malformations of (the availability of incremental lumbar vertebrae, spina bifida);
  • a congenital disorder of the shape of the vertebrae;
  • benign, malignant and vascular tumors;
  • rheumatism;
  • inflammation of muscles (myositis);
  • inflammation of the sciatic nerve;
  • fractures of the spine;
  • spondilolistezom;
  • osteomyelitis;
  • fibrositis;
  • osteoporosis;
  • protrusion of the disk;
  • narrowing of the spinal canal;
  • osteoarthritis;
  • renal disease (hydronephrosis, pyelonephritis, tumors).

The spine in the lower back can hurt because of a simple muscle spasm. It is possible during heavy cornering or performing athletic exercises.

  • lack of exercise in physical education classes;
  • weakness in the muscles and the ligaments of the back;
  • wear backpacks on the 1 strap;
  • the availability of flat feet;
  • heavy physical work;
  • the larger the static load;
  • improper arrangement of the working places.

Is suddenly emerging pain in the lower back. Some people feel it as a blow to electric shock. It appears when a sharp change in position or while moving.

If the back hurts in the lumbar, then the cause may be lumbalgie. It's a chronic pain in osteochondrosis of the. Its appearance is not dependent on the physical activity of a person. The pain is aching. To such people it is difficult to bend the body. In the position the man lies on his back, a painful disappears or decreases.

Often this is combined with impaired sensitivity. Discomfort in the lumbar driven by the compression of nerves, blood vessels and muscle spasm.

Symptoms of a hernia

Plan a survey of patients

Not everyone knows what to do when back hurts in the area of the lumbar. It is necessary to visit a doctor and undergo examination. You will need the following studies:

  • computed tomography;
  • radiography of the lumbar-sacral spine;
  • ULTRASOUND of the kidneys;
  • magnetic resonance imaging;
  • electroneuromyography;
  • Doppler of blood vessels;
  • general and biochemical analysis of blood;
  • analysis of the urine;
  • cystourethrography.

Necessarily performed the inspection and palpation of the lumbar region and the spine. Requires the advice of a neurologist or vertebrologist.

When the pain on the background of sciatica treatment includes immobilization of the spine, the use of pain medications and intramuscular introduction of the anesthetic. In addition, there are vitamins of group B (Combilipen).

Effective and physiotherapy. If there is a degenerative disc disease shows kinesitherapy, massage, intake of pain medication, physical therapy. I'm sure they are appointed chondroprotectors.
