If you are worried about permanent back pain, we advise you to contact the Neurology Center for advice.Careful and highly qualified neurologists who are willing to save you from the disease in a short time, take reception.
Why hurt an injury?
This may be due to diseases of internal bodies, spinal injury (including a break), neurological pain usually indicate osteochondrose, and sometimes it is a symptom of gastrointestinal tract, kidney, etc.
In addition, they are predisposed to some extent for injuries and pain.Spine performs at least 4 functions: support, protective, depreciation and engine.Therefore, if pain appears, it can be the result of a bad posture, strong one time, sharp movement or turn.
What to do with pain in your back?

The causes of back pain
Back pain means not only serious pathology.For example, coughing or walking pain can be caused by simple overvoltage surge.However, it is often a symptom of different diseases, whose manifestations depend on many factors.
Why is your back hurt after sleeping?
Possible reasons why in the morning after sleep there are back pain:
- hypothermia;
- sharply lifting of the utilities during the day (or in 3-4 days), causes night pain;
- osteochondrosis;
- Intervertebral hernia;
- Wrong body position when you lie;
- Irregularly selected mattress;
- In women among the causes - pregnancy;
- the curvature of the spine, implies an asymmetric contraction of the muscles;
- excess weight and muscle weakness;
- Stress.
Diseases associated with joints and vertebrates
Back pain in this case means that they can be present:
- osteochondrosis;
- spondylolistz;
- Ankylosing spondylitis;
- Bekhterev disease;
- osteomyelitis;
- rheumatoid arthritis;
- Moving intervelled discs;
- Reuters syndrome;
- An interverter's hernia.
Muscle-related diseases
Why do muscle back hurts?
Very often muscular pain are associated with high load, fatigue, hypothermia.Grammers and seals may occur, as well as reducing mobility and pain (fibromyalgia).In addition, the back can harm the following muscular pathologies:
- Charcot disease or bass;
- Dermatomyozitis (extra manifested rash);
- Rabdomyolysis;
- polioitis;
- muscle tissue infection, abscess;
- Rheumatic Polimyalgia.
Spinal cord pathologies
The socket is a body that provides a connection between the body and the brain.Through the holes between the vertebrae from the spinal cord, the spinal nerve couples are leaving - there are 31. Each nerve enters a certain part of the body.If you find the skin stiffness (locally), muscle weakness, limbs, spinal cords or some nerve is damaged.
More diseases:
- Spinal cord compression (for example, with a fracture or cervical spondylosis, abscess, hematoma);
- spine injury;
- cavities filled with liquid;
- For example, an inflammatory process caused an acute transverse myelitis;
- impaired blood body supply;
- HIV;
- abscess;
- Deficiency of copper, vitamin B;
- syphilis;
- good or malignant neoplasms;
- bleeding;
- Scattered sclerosis.
Back pain for psychosomatics

| Myositis, muscle that stretches, sharply raising weights, hypothermia, debt storage of unpleasant posture, for example, during work. | |
| Moving interfacebral disks.The most common cause is osteochondrose, but there may also be displaced with sharp lifting in weight and constant high physical efforts. | |
| Acute | Osteochondrosis.It causes the back pain in the back, which are given in the leg, become stronger when sneezing, cough, tension. |
| Radiculitis.Constant acute (siva) or dull pain.It is usually localized on one side, it can be given into thigh, buttocks, leg, sub-legged leg, sometimes severe, itchy.The pain is also worse, it is amplified when moving. | |
| Intervertebral hernia.With such pathology, the pain occurs when the sloping, raising weights, is amplified when sneezing, coughing, movement, accompanied by weakness in the leg. | |
| Pulsating pain, heavy, may not pass after taking analgesics | Osteochondrosis, cracks in vertebrae, lumbago, intervertebral hernia, spondylosis. |
| Throwing | In the upper back and in the middle of the sternum - can talk about Angin Pectoris, a myocardial infarction, pulmonary artery by thromboembolia.In the lower back - intestinal obstruction, spondylarteness. |
| Pressure | Angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, gallbladder problems (pain occurs after eating), atherosclerosis, hypertensive crisis. |

Situations you need to consult a doctor as soon as possible
Baselessness, if not associated with serious pathologies, lasts 3-4 days.If this doesn't happen, you must be visiting a doctor.In addition, the reasons for urgent contacting specialists are:
- very intense pain;
- pain intensified at night;
- When it hurts in any body position and you can't take a pose in which relief appears;
- pain that appeared suddenly and for the first time in their life;
- When a person suffers from pain syndrome anymore than 20 years or older than 55;

- pain radiates in the leg, especially below the knee;
- In one or both legs, weakness occurs, skin stiffness, tingling.
Diagnostics
To make a diagnosis for back pain, you need to schedule an appointment with a neurologist, if necessary, attend tests, and also for the purpose of the specialist to pass a hardware study.
- Blood tests.
They allow you to determine the presence of infection, ESR (an increased rate of erythrocyte settlement, indicating inflammation, infection).If the increased level of leukocytes is detected, then it is also a sign of inflammation, infection.Also, iron deficiency anemia, the cause of which can be oncology, can be determined by blood.
- Hardware diagnostics.
- Duplex and Triplex of Uz-scanning of doors and brains.It allows you to determine the structure and patence of blood vessels, the presence of narrowing, or spread, plaque, blood clots, as well as the correspondence of blood flow with norms.It is used in the diagnosis of causes of headaches, dizziness, increased pressure, as well as for doubt in the cerebrovascular accident, with an early diagnosis in front of -intenjand.
- MRI (magnetic resonance. The most accurate and more efficient test mode.It allows you to visualize tumor on the vertebrae, the hernia of intervelebral disks, compression (and her diplomas) of spinal nerves and spinal cords, narrowing of spinal channel, inflammatory changes, including post -traumatic.The MRI is necessarily carried out before surgery and in the postoperative period.
- CT (computer tomography). It reveals the breaks of the vertebrae and their character, allows you to find even very small fragments if they are formed during the injury.Based on the obtained data, you can create a 3D image of the desired area.CT "see" what the radiography is unnoticed.
- Radiography. Allows you to assess the condition of bone structures.It is carried out for diagnosing fractures, arthritis, spondylolišće, degree of holding disorders.It can be performed with functional samples, ie when the patient turns and extends the spine during the test.It visualizes inflammation in the spine, helps, according to indirect signs, in order to identify the localization of the compression of nerve processes.The degree of intensity painting the vertebral in the picture lets you assess your fortress (with osteoporosis that they are more "translucent", and when they are healthy bright white).
- Electromyography (EMG). The study aims to determine the state of nervous tissue.During this, electrical towels are estimated, which are performed by nerves, as well as the reaction of the muscles on them.Electromyography helps to detect the nerve compression that occurred due to stenosis (narrowing) spinal channel or intervertebral hernia.
- Bone scanning. This study is needed if the doctor suspects the tumor on the bones or compression break in the background of osteoporosis.
Treatment of back pain

The person is the prescribed bed, carrying a corset for fastening (for example, in neuralgia).
An important phase of treatment is physiotherapy.Her main methods:
- Drug electrophoresis;
- phonoporesis;
- Laser therapy;
- Magnetic therapy.
Also performed reflexology:
- Electronicistimulation;
- Acupuncture techniques.
Massage, osteopathy, hand therapy and therapy exercise effective are for back pain.These methods are used when pain is caused by muscle diseases and spine, during rehabilitation after injuries.
Prevention
Clinical recommendations for Prevention of intervertebral hernia and osteochondrose:
- Move more, gymnastics in the morning, deal with yoga;
- Take a contrast shower, after which it is rubbing a towel to improve metabolic processes;
- Once every six months, they underwent the massage exchange rate (up to 10 sessions);
- Maintain liver health, because collagen production depends on it;
