back pain: risk factors

- The attitude to pain, influence the risk of pain and especially in its duration and the risk of recurrence. The available studies show that patients who have suffered back pain can react in two ways:

1. A (the “elusive”) is frightened by the pain and fear for their future, mistakenly thinking that every time they notice a sore back necessarily mean that your injury is getting worse. So rest a lot, avoid physical activity, waiting passively for the pain better, and tend to abuse drugs, especially painkillers.

2. Others (the “combative”) does not fear for their future and hope the pain will get better or if not, can adapt to it. They have a life as normal as they can, keep active and go to work, avoiding only what really prevents them from pain and not afraid if you ever notice an annoyance. The available studies show that, in connection with the “elusive”, the “militant” are less likely to suffer back pains back and, if present, they take less. Read the rest of this entry »

back pain: risk factors- Feeling discomfort in bed is associated with an increased risk of back pain. Studies show that back pain is more frequent among those who feel discomfort when lying in bed or on rising.

In some studies, discomfort in bed has been associated with a risk of up to 1800% more back pain, both among adolescents as among adults, while most of the other factors studied (such as gender or physical effort at work or at leisure) have been associated with much less effect.

In addition, scientific studies have also shown that among people who already suffer from back pain, mattress firmness influences its evolution, so a medium firm mattress is recommended that a very firm. These data suggest that the surface characteristics of rest are a relevant factor in relation to the existence or development of back pain. Read the rest of this entry »

back pain: risk factors- Efforts; are associated with increased risk of back pain. This association may be due to an overload mechanism, and may be associated with an increased risk if efforts are made in positions of flexion and extension or rotation: An intense effort can cause back pain.

If the muscles are very powerful, is injured before the intervertebral disc. In this case the pain caused by muscle injury, painful but benign and usually resolves itself in a few days, avoiding the effort to maintain and protect the intervertebral disc.

If the muscle is not strong enough, the intervertebral disc may be injured while the muscles. It is possible that the continuous repetition of efforts, though not terribly severe, can cause back pain, probably by the accumulation of small lesions in the intervertebral disc, facet joint or, more commonly, repeated overloading of the musculature.

back pain: risk factors

As has been demonstrated that back pain is not always due to an organic disorder of the spine, have begun to study the factors associated with an increased risk of autism. We must be cautious in interpreting these studies show that back pain sufferers have some characteristics more often than non-sufferers. That means that these factors are associated with an increased risk, not necessarily to be the only cause of pain or that their removal improve it.

Despite this limitation, in those cases where you have to take into account factors rigorous epidemiological studies show that are associated with an increased risk of back pain, especially in cases in which the mechanism can be glimpsed explain their potential influence. Some of the factors that have been most studied are: Read the rest of this entry »

How Back Pain Appears?

how back pain appears?Back pain occurs and is maintained by a neurological mechanism:

1. Activate a specific nerve fibers, known as Ad and C, or “sensitive to capsaicin” or “nerve pain” -.
2. Their activation triggers cause inflammation and pain and muscle spasm.
3. It is a vicious circle of inflammation and muscle contracture remain activated pain nerves.
4. There are scientific studies showing that if the activation of Ad-C fibers lasts long enough, are triggered biochemical mechanisms that may perpetuate their activation indefinitely. In this situation, the pain persists even disappear because originally triggered it.

The neurological mechanism that causes pain, inflammation and muscle contracture:

It can be triggered by any structural damage. For example, when a herniated disk nerves are activated are pain in the outer layers of the disk to come into contact with substances that are inside. In this case, an MRI scan would see the break of the fibrous and clarify the cause of pain. Read the rest of this entry »

Causes of Back Pain

Posted by mzPOTTER | August 9th, 2010 in Back Pain, Neurologic Diseases | No Comments »

causes of back painBack pain occurs by a neurological mechanism, usually of unknown origin, which causes pain, swelling and muscle spasm. The main methods of diagnosis are the history and physical examination, and only rarely are useful tests such as x-ray or blood test, MRI and neuropsychological tests.

There are scientifically evaluated scales to objectively assess pain intensity and degree of disability that causes back pain.

To prevent and treat back pain should maintain the highest level of activity possible and avoid bed rest. Most cases are successfully treated with medication, neuroreflexotherapy or other non-surgical treatments. Surgery is indicated in a small number of cases and only when there are clear signs that guarantee its success. Read the rest of this entry »
