Low back pain is the most common disease of the human spine. Perhaps you have not yet begun to pain, but it is likely to “in the future”, because an authoritative statistics show: 80% of adults will be in the life of the phenomenon of low back pain. With the increasing pace of life, low back pain is not the “patent” of the middle-aged and elderly groups, many young office workers, has appeared low back pain, straight back and other typical pain symptoms. So, what are the “behind-the-scenes” causes of low back pain? How can we prevent the problem before it happens? What are the causative factors of low back pain In layman’s terms, low back pain is pain in the back, lumbar region, lumbosacral and sacroiliac region, which may or may not be accompanied by radiating pain in the lower limbs. Most of the low back pains are vague, dull, stabbing pains, local pressure pain or radiating pains; patients often have unfavorable activities, inconvenience in pitching and tilting, inability to hold weight, difficulty in walking, tiredness and weakness of limbs, etc. Some even have dysfunctional lumbar forward flexion, back extension, scoliosis, etc. Serious patients also have spinal deformities. According to epidemiological studies, the occurrence of chronic low back pain is closely related to the nature of work, occupational habits, weather and other factors. Specific causes include: lifting or forceful lifting and moving heavy objects; bending and improper posture twisting; cold and humid climate; and sedentary. Here we need to emphasize that the action of bending over to extract heavy objects, the posterior structure of the spine intervertebral joints, joint capsule, interspinous, supraspinous ligaments and paravertebral muscles can cause varying degrees of injury, which in turn leads to low back pain, so similar dangerous actions should be avoided in daily life; in addition, some people are particularly sensitive to the cold and humid environment, a change in the weather will be painful, for this reason should also be fully done Keep warm and cold, prevent pain. Low back pain symptoms suggest which diseases Many diseases in the early, middle and late stages, will be manifested as symptoms of low back pain. These include: vertebral slippage, ankylosing spondylitis, disc herniation, spinal stenosis, lumbar muscle strain, myofasciitis of the lumbar back muscles, spinal cord compression of various causes, postherpetic neuralgia, etc. Meanwhile, some diseases that seem to be unrelated to the low back may also contain symptoms of low back pain: for example, nephritis, urinary stones, cholecystitis, gallbladder stones, ulcers in the stomach and duodenal bulb, endometritis, etc. Interestingly, there are also clinical patients with low back pain whose most predominant symptom is not low back pain. The most common is the inner and outer thigh pain patients, many of these patients to leg pain as a symptom of the consultation, but east to feel the west is not able to find which part of the thigh pain, but in the lower back there is a clear pressure pain. In fact, this is the brain perception function in the “play”. Since the lateral thigh cortex, the anterior medial calf cortex, the posterior lateral thigh, and the lateral calf cortex are all innervated by different lumbar spinal nerves, when there is a problem in the lower back, the nerves innervating the thigh become excited and are communicated to the brain to become leg pain. When a patient encounters a similar situation, he or she should seek out an experienced physician to find the root of the problem and deal with it symptomatically. The rehabilitation of patients with chronic low back pain also requires individualized treatment plans. Specific rehabilitation can be divided into three ways 1. warmth, rest and functional exercise. Once the pain in the low back attacks, hot compresses can be applied after 24 hours to promote the inflammation to subside, relieve muscle spasm and improve the pain state. Acute disc prolapse and crush fractures require absolute rest, patients with osteoporosis and osteochondrosis require part-time rest, and as for patients with ankylosing spondylitis, as little rest and as much exercise as possible. Regardless of the cause, patients should restore function through exercise after the recovery period. At this time, you can choose to play badminton, tennis, swimming, tai chi, yoga and other exercises to make the muscles of the entire trunk strong, as a way to protect the low back from injury. 2.Physical therapy and drug therapy. Physical therapy such as traction therapy, xenon light, low frequency, ultrasound therapy or Chinese medicine point therapy can play an important role in low back pain; drug therapy has the effect of significantly improving the symptoms during the acute attack. 3, nerve block or minimally invasive interventional therapy. For patients with lumbar disc herniation, lumbar degeneration or spinal stenosis, paravertebral or epidural nerve block can effectively relieve pain. Others, such as radiofrequency technology, have been used to treat chronic low back pain for more than 40 years, and with medical improvements, radiofrequency technology is causing less and less tissue damage and is increasingly safe. Women are more prone to low back pain Existing surveys show that low back pain has become a common daily disease second only to the flu. About 80% of people have suffered from low back pain in their lifetime, and 10% of them have become chronic low back pain. Compared to men, the incidence of low back pain in women is higher, and the reasons for this are related to the special physiology of women. For example, the lower back pain that occurs during menstruation in young women is related to the physiological changes of women’s menstrual cycle; the low back pain during pregnancy is related to the physiological changes of women during pregnancy; the low back pain during lactation is related to the special position and movement of breastfeeding; the low back pain in middle-aged and elderly women is related to the osteoporosis caused by the sharp decline of estrogen level in menopausal women; as for some gynecological diseases, they can also cause low back involvement pain …… In addition, professional women need to work for a long time bending, sedentary, but also prone to induce women’s low back muscle chronic strain injury, spinal degeneration, etc., and these two diseases are the main cause of low back pain. In order to prevent low back pain, women can follow the following life care principles: wake up and first move the waist; take time to do radio exercises; learn to relax and reduce tension; maintain the correct sitting posture, standing posture; sleep on a hard bed; improve diet, avoid obesity, etc.
