Different back pain troubles recently not only older, but also relatively young people. Explains such a state of sharp decline in physical activity, reduction of immunity, unhealthy way of life. As a result – suffering from all the vital organs of humans, including the spine.
Unlimited access countrymen to drugs even more worsens the situation, instead, to engage in sports and constantly monitor their state of health, most people take pain medication and that their treatment ends. As a result, over time, will appear a big problem, the treatment of the disease persists in time and is much more expensive. Pain in the lower back, gives step, can become the cause of disability from the full or partial loss of ability to work. But even in mild cases, significantly reduce the quality of life of patients.
Why there is pain in the lower back, gives step
Without an understanding of the causes of the disease cannot receive an adequate solution. And the cause of education pain can be understand only after it is clear the structure of the lumbar spine.
More common cause of such pain is the swelling of the beam of the nerves protruding from the spine. The nerves are located in a particular joint, it allows you to move the legs. Swelling strongly compresses the nerves, are constantly working and relate with the signals of the pathological state in the brain. Responds to them and to minimize the risk of further compression of the nervous beam makes the movements painful, in this way trying to block the development of pathology.
Triggers the mechanism of self-preservation of the organism, man it hurts to walk, he tries to spend more time in a calm state. Peace gives the opportunity to the body to eliminate the swelling and return the vertebrae in their physiological condition. Respectively, decreases or completely disappears the swelling, the nerves of the already clamped, the alarming signals to the brain arrives, he refers the pain impulses, the patient can move seamlessly.
But so happens only in those cases where the body through the mobilization of internal reserves able to remove the cause of the swelling without medical help. Unfortunately, it happens not always, often without specific treatment swelling of the persist. There are quite a lot of disease, in result of which occurs above the clinic.
Compression of the nerve endings
On the spine there is a large amount of the spinal roots at their compression arise pain syndromes. Very often this phenomenon is observed in patients osteochondrosis. With the growing pathology increase feelings of pain, in complex cases, to find any kind of movement.
Table. Forms of the disease
| The form of the disease | Description of the clinic |
|---|---|
| Muscle-tonic | The nerve endings irritated the surrounding tissues, which due to a variety of processes have changed. Fabrics take up space, in which are located the nerve endings, which becomes a cause of pain. Most often these pains are aching in nature. |
| Vascular | Unpleasant sensations appear due to the development of convulsive syndrome. A muscle spasm can be caused by the development of degenerative disc disease. A seizure happens suddenly, for no apparent reason, or appear after the embarrassing twists of the torso, lifting weights, etc. There are and external causes – a long-term stay in one position, unsuccessful sharp turns of the torso, lifting unnecessary weights. |
| Vegetative-vascular | The leg is not only pain, but also numb, the dog armor, can be felt a weird cold or heat. While long lasting pain becomes more frequent palpitations, skin, face pales. |
| Mixed | Diagnosis occurs very often, to this description of the doctors resort to when the impossibility of precise determination of the causes of pain. |
What factors increase the risk of disease
Pain in the lower back, which is transferred to the leg is called sciatica. The disease does not have a permanent clinical specificity, on the first pores allows you to make only preliminary conclusions.
There are several factors that increase the risk of developing pathology
- Long stay on his feet, especially if shoes have high heels. In this case, the hipster hotel unnaturally bends, the load on the vertebrae increases, the weak intervertebral discs can withstand increased load and changing its settings. The increased in diameter of the outer shell is strangling the nerve fibers emanating from the spine. Doctors strongly recommend to set the time on the rest of the spine, subsidence, change shoes, do small exercises to strengthen the muscles of the back. A strong muscular system to stall for a long time to keep the weight of the person, thanks to which reduces the load on the vertebrae.
- Pregnancy and being overweight. During pregnancy not only increases the weight of women, but also the unnatural bend of the vertebra. If in this period, carefully follow the advice of doctors, then all the unpleasant sensations persist after the birth yourself.
- Professional sports or heavy physical work. The load should be agreed with the individual features.
- Congenital pathology of development of the spine. With the growth of the pathology may increase and reach critical values. Curvature of the spine often arises from a lack of calcium in the growing organism. And it is absorbed in the body only in the presence of vitamin D, which is formed under the influence of uv radiation. Conclusion – moving lifestyle, a regular and long-term stay in the fresh air, which significantly reduces the likelihood of disease.
- Protrusion of the intervertebral disc, hernia, deforming osteochondrosis. These pathologies are very often become the cause of back pain, which give the legs. Exactly after the the occurrence of their symptoms most patients are sent to the hospital and only there to hear about their presence of the diagnosis.
Symptoms
The main symptom – feelings of pain and limitation of movements. When you change the position of the body, only the intensity increases, reducing the discomfort only happens at full calm the patient. When walking the pain increases to such an extent that the foot is difficult to move, sick all the time pulling her behind. If the status is running, then changing the posture, the patient leans forward and slouches.
Doctors say that it is a benign condition and never reborn into oncological diseases. Thanks to the treatment, the prognosis is quite optimistic, but the progress of the disease to allow not worth it. The sooner treatment begins, the less time it will take to achieve a positive result.
At the first performance it is recommended to reduce the physical burden and reduce the number of drink fluids. If within three-four days the pain disappears, then it is necessary to go to a medical facility.
Especially carefully it should take to your condition, if such phenomena have appeared after various injuries of the spine, are accompanied by an increase in temperature, redness of the skin in the lower back. The deterioration of the sensitivity of the limbs and the organs of the pelvis, spontaneous emission of urine and emptying of the colon serves as a signal for immediate comprehensive health monitoring in stationary conditions.
Diagnosis
When you first visit the doctor finds the patient on the time of occurrence of the first pain, the possible reason, the dynamics of changes in the status. The disease is not considered a local pathology and requires treatment of the underlying cause. The patient necessarily refer to the radiological studies, magnetic resonance imaging or ct. Only a clear visualization of the affected focus gives the possibility to your doctor to make the correct diagnosis and suggest the most effective treatment.
How stopped the pain
Persistent or recurrent pain create a large number of problems for humans and significantly worsen the quality of his life. Treatment of the causes of the disease is recommended only after the removal of the pain, such a recommendation gives the modern world medicine. But any manipulation with the backbone of it is strictly forbidden to do without a special examination on a medical device, it allows doctors to visually see the affected fire pit and take the only right decision. State of the art machines to make the image space that completely eliminates the likelihood of errors. Of course, if the doctor has the appropriate expertise.
Cupping is performed only in a medical facility, in the hearth are introduced two medications: a local anesthetic to alleviate pain and hydrocortisone for therapeutic effect. Hydrocortisone relieves inflammation and swelling, and contributes to a complete cure.
How does cupping
- Preparation of the patient for the procedure. The patient lies down on a special table back up, iodine to disinfect the operating room.
- A special apparatus is controlled so that the monitor was clearly visible zone of introduction of the drugs and the pain of the land.
- The constant observation of their actions, the doctor introduces in the problematic place of the needle of the syringe and administered the medication.
Pain in the lower back and legs takes place in the course of a few minutes. Further, the patient may sent for completion of other treatments and living a full life.
Treatment
During an exacerbation of the symptoms, the patient is recommended bed rest, to relieve severe pain use various medical means. With the aim of reducing the swelling may be limited fluid intake, if you have muscle cramps, then appointed antispasmodics or muscle relaxants.
Unfortunately, the amount of cupping in the us are rarely used. This has two reasons:
- extremely low skills of medical institutions of a modern special equipment. For cupping it is necessary to have a new x-ray machine, which allows you to perform all manipulations in a mode online. The doctor on the monitor, not only can see the affected area of the spine, but also clearly controls all the movements of the needle of the syringe. If such observation is not to do, then there is a great risk of very negative consequences;
- remnants from the days of the USSR medical tradition, in which there is pain for the patient is considered to be the natural state. In our country the anesthetist so far has attracted only at the time of the execution of complex operations. The word anesthesia, translates as numbness in the developed countries is its long been used for alleviating the suffering of patients not only during operation, but also during common therapeutic treatment. Live without pain – the motto of all the developed clinics. According to the bandwagon, with them at the slightest opportunity pain safely stopped in independence on their location and causes violent reasons. Only in such a state the patient indicators is carried out further treatment.
Physiotherapy
Medical science recommends massage, manual therapy, mud baths, vitamins, therapeutic physical training. All the above mentioned practices contribute to the improvement of blood flow in the affected pathology of the organs. Improving blood flow stimulates the regenerative processes in the tissues, promotes rapid development of the muscles of the spine. But all procedures can be carried out after the removal of the acute symptoms of the disease.
Surgical treatment
Is used in extreme cases, when drug therapy has proved its ineffectiveness, or is there a big risk of a sharp deterioration in the condition of the patient. During the operation, the damaged discs are removed partially or completely.
Prevention
Tips do not differ originality – lead a healthy lifestyle and engage in a tonic, physical education or any sport. The load is to be adjusted with regard to age and gender, not to try to to great results, and also improve health. It is recommended to constantly monitor the posture, and, if necessary, to correct identified deviations.
In terms of folk remedies, then in the world there is no cases, with the use of red clay has managed to fully replace a damaged spine, no confirmation of the effectiveness of tea on birch kidneys, relief from pain, black radishes, juice, agave, etc. it must Be remembered that the use of these funds leads to delay of time to see a doctor, the disease progresses, the treatment requires a greater amount of time and funds.
