With age, discomfort gradually arises in different departments and systems. After 25 years, patients often experience low back pain of varying intensity. If you ignore these symptoms, you can lose the ability to make normal movements. Removal of pain syndrome with the help of analgesics is the way to go, more precisely to the chronic course of the disease. Only timely diagnosis and treatment will lead to long -term remission or complete recovery.
Over time, the period of deterioration becomes longer. Acute pain begins to bother even during periods of rest, and not just during physical activity. This picture is typical for lumbar osteochondrosis. The disease is characterized by destruction of cartilage located between the vertebral discs. Tissue thinning and its deformation lead to protrusion, lumbar hernia. In the clinic, patients can undergo diagnostics, as well as a course of treatment, regardless of the etiology of the pain syndrome.
Causes of back pain
Stiffness and discomfort in the lumbosacral area affect the ability to work. One cannot move straight, patients often lose self -care skills in daily life. One of the common causes of this disease is pinching of the roots that extend from the spinal cord. At the moment of strong muscle tension, with a sharp round of the body, "lumbago" or lumbago occurs. The sharp pain accompanies the patient for several hours. The patient described his character as "burning", "exploding".
The cause of discomfort in the lumbar spine is a herniated disc. With trauma or with age, the nucleus pulposus loses its firmness and elasticity. If the problem is exacerbated by osteoporosis, being overweight, the fibrous rings of the disc become thinner. Through this weak point, the nucleus pulposus protrudes. Its displacement leads to acute pain. Chronic pathologies that cause discomfort in the lumbosacral region include:
- osteomyelitis;
- spondylosis;
- scoliosis;
- ankylosing spondylitis;
- spinal tuberculosis;
- rheumatoid arthritis;
- malignant neoplasm.
Lower back pain is also caused by diseases of internal organs, soft tissue damage. Very common pathological causes are inflammation of the uterine appendages, endometriosis (in women), adenomas and prostatitis (in men). Diseases of the intestines, stomach and kidneys can also trigger acute attacks.
Treatment of low back pain
Which doctor should I go to for help? If even a slight, but persistent discomfort in the lower back occurs, you need to go to a therapist. Preliminary examination and collection of anamnesis are good reasons for the appointment of additional examinations. In the clinic, blood and urine tests are prescribed, renal ultrasound is performed, and the presence of malignant neoplasms in the abdominal cavity is excluded.
In some cases, additional consultation with a neurologist, phthisiatrician, gynecologist will be required. Tomography and X-rays will help clarify the diagnosis and determine the location of the process of destruction of the spine or soft tissue. The composition of the procedure for diagnostic examination for each patient may be different. It all depends on the specific clinical picture. Depending on the pathological cause, various treatment methods are used.
Manual therapy
This method is often used for osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine. It allows you to achieve complete recovery or long -term forgiveness. The effects on the joints and bones are done exclusively with the help of a chiropractor’s hands. In the early stages, the traction method is used, for which the pain syndrome is relieved. Furthermore, all physician efforts are aimed at restoring cartilage structure. All manual techniques are performed carefully, in a gentle manner. As soon as the patient felt severe discomfort, he told the specialist about it. The doctor stopped all manipulations until physical well -being returned to normal. Thereafter, correction continues until the obvious cause of the disease is eliminated.
Osteopathy
This technique is a whole philosophy, which is based on the desire for freedom of any movement. Osteopathic doctors act on the skeletal system and the soft tissues around it. Muscle clamps can cause pain and restrict joint movement. Once the specialist manages to achieve complete relaxation, half of the recovery path can be overcome. This technique does not cause a painful sensation, does not increase the syndrome. The patient's condition improved significantly after the first session. The master's work is fine and precise. Work is carried out based on the well-being of the patient.
Kinesio recording
Low back pain treatment is popular among athletes and people who constantly experience significant physical activity. In the place where the process of destruction is localized, a special elastic tape is affixed - kinesio tape. It does not cause discomfort, does not impede movement while awake during the day.
At the diagnostic stage, the specialist determines the cause of the violation, as well as the exact place of its use. Light muscle support contributes to the formation of a proper muscular corset. The tape literally "makes" the back straight when walking, preventing the formation of bends. Optimal joint support prevents acute disease from developing into chronic.
Tensed muscles are completely relaxed, while staying toned for active movement without pain. Improving blood microcirculation in soft tissues allows cartilage tissues to receive adequate nutrition. Kinesio taping for back pain is used as the primary method of treatment for dislocations, injuries or lumbago. Movement becomes smooth, and gait becomes light.
UHT
Shock wave therapy is a modern method of treating spinal osteochondrosis, trauma to the lumbosacral area, ankylosing spondylitis and other pathologies. Additional drug treatment was not used. The action of acoustic waves is produced by non -invasive methods without violating the integrity of the skin. This is an additional safety measure to prevent infection.
Di-Tazin Therapy
This method of treating acute pain in the lumbar spine involves the use of application with the drug Photoditazine. Further, through the installation of LEDs, the drug is activated, which penetrates the inner layers of the skin. It can be successfully used in the treatment of herniated discs. Increased blood circulation ensures continuous delivery of nutrients to the bones.
