Low back pain can manifest itself in different ways. Thus, experts distinguish 4 main types of pain:
However, for the treatment to be successful, it is necessary to know the causes of pain onset and development. The specialists working in our center will make the diagnosis easily and painlessly, after which they will prescribe the appropriate treatment for you.
Observation! If you experience one of the above types of pain, don't delay seeing a doctor - a vertebrologist, neurologist or chiropractor. Otherwise, your condition can get worse, leading to all sorts of complications.
causes of pain
Low back pain occurs for a variety of reasons, from muscle and bone marrow inflammation to internal organ disease. Here are the main causes of low back pain:
Degenerative dystrophic processes
Degenerative dystrophic processes cause the following pathologies:
- Spinal osteochondrosis - degenerative changes occur when cracks appear in the intervertebral discs, as well as in the case of hernia in this area.
- Poor posture (including in the context of scoliosis) - in the absence of timely treatment, leads to frequent back pain.
- Excessive tension or severe hypothermia of the muscles in the lower back - the pain is pulling and tightening in nature (a person cannot straighten their back for very long).
- Spondylolisthesis - the disease involves dislocation of the lumbar vertebrae.
Inflammatory processes
<2_img_rightxx>Inflammatory processes also cause discomfort in the lower back:
- Muscle inflammation (myositis) - Occurs with various bacterial and viral infections.
- Ankylosing spondylitis - the disease involves inflammation of the intervertebral and costal-vertebral joints, as well as of the spinal ligaments. As a result, the spine loses its former mobility and elasticity and is therefore easily injured by falls and impacts.
- Spinal osteomyelitis - the disease involves inflammation of the bone marrow, which is caused by pathogenic pathogens (streptococci, staphylococci, mycobacterium tuberculosis, etc. ).
- Tuberculous spondylitis is a chronic inflammation of the spine caused by tuberculosis pathogens. Bacteria enter the general bloodstream and then bone tissue.
In addition, inflammatory processes include diseases of the nervous system of an infectious nature (including meningitis).
Internal Organ and Pelvic Organ Diseases
Low back pain can be caused by diseases of Organs internal organs, for example:
- Peptic ulcer and 12 duodenal ulcer.
- Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas caused by damage to the organ by its own enzymes).
- Cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder wall).
- Urolithiasis.
- Diseases of Organs pelvic organs, typical not only of women but also of men (pathology of the uterus, prostate, etc. ).
Important! Other causes of pain in the lower back include osteoporosis (damage to all the bones in the skeleton), congenital spinal abnormalities, neurosis, spinal cord tumors, etc.
Back Pain Diagnosis
For back pain, the following types of diagnosis are prescribed:
- Magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine.
- CT (X-ray computed tomography).
- Blood and urine tests.
- Ultrasound of the kidneys, pelvic organs and prostate (in men).
Our center is equipped with all the necessary equipment for diagnostic studies (magnetic resonance, ultrasound, etc. ), as well as a modern physiotherapy room, where you can maintain your health after therapy.
Pain treatment with manual therapy
Manual therapy is a way to treat, diagnose and prevent diseases of the musculoskeletal system with the help of the hands. This is the oldest therapy method, officially recognized by national and foreign medicine.
The therapeutic effect of manual therapy is immediately noticeable. After the first session, the patient's condition improves significantly. During therapy, the following effects are observed:
- Reduction and, in the future, complete elimination of pain.
- Restoration of blood circulation.
- Muscle tension relief and tweezers.
- Elimination of symptoms of impaired sensitivity (numbness, burning, "shivering", tingling in the lower extremities).
- Improve the work of internal bodies.
In this case, the vertebrae smoothly and painlessly "rise up" to the anterior position (ie, the anterior displacement is eliminated).
In our clinic, experienced and trained specialists who know biomechanics and human anatomy are engaged in manual therapy. The duration of the course is determined individually and depends on the severity and type of illness. As practice shows, usually 5-10 procedures are needed, but sometimes more. After the treatment, our modern physiotherapy room is at your service, where you can not only improve your health, but also prevent possible relapses of the disease.
Low back pain is a consequence of several factors, including serious diseases such as osteochondrosis, osteomyelitis, ankylosing spondylitis, etc. So don't delay diagnosis and treatment. The sooner you see your doctor, the better your chances of recovery. And our caring and caring doctors will always help you.
