Numbness of the back may be caused by muscle injury, cervical spondylosis, diabetes, thoracic spine lesions and lumbar disc herniation.
1. Muscle injury: it may be caused by muscle injury, due to the long time pressure on the back muscles, it will lead to back muscle injury, poor blood flow phenomenon, resulting in numbness.
2. Cervical spondylosis: herniated cervical discs compress the nerves and blood vessels, which can easily cause damage to the nerves in the back, resulting in symptoms of numbness and tightness.
3. Diabetes: caused by diabetic peripheral neuropathy. If the blood sugar control is not good, the symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy causing numbness and tightness in the back may occur.
4. Thoracic spine lesion: the sensation of the back is innervated by the thoracic nerve, in some thoracic disc herniation or thoracic spine vertebral canal occupying lesion, it can compress the thoracic nerve, causing sensory disorder in the corresponding innervated area, and there will be a numbness of the thoracic back.
5. Lumbar intervertebral disc herniation: caused by lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, with the development of the disease, leading to the compression of the surrounding nerves, the patient will often appear in the lumbar back numbness symptoms.
