Almost every adult knows that feeling when the lumbar spine begins to disturb him. Most often, such pain affects people who have constant physical exertion on the spine. Almost the entire load falls on the lower back, which becomes the main cause of discomfort, after which it often becomes necessary to wear a bandage.

This type of pain is a protective mechanism and a signal that it is time to act. Emerging pain can be the first sign of a serious illness, which is much easier to prevent than to cure. For this, a person must visit a doctor, he will prescribe treatment. It mainly consists of complex therapy, when a magnetic device is used that performs weakening functions on the muscles. It is also recommended to wear a special corset or bandage.

Possible causes of pain

There are times when pain sensations  in this area, backs may be harbingers of problems, such as microfracture of the joint as a result of osteoporosis, kidney and urinary system problems or pinching of the nerve endings in the loins. Heredity, damage to the bones, diseases in the field of gynecology in women and the prostate gland in men, as well as the presence of organ tumors in the abdominal region are also signs that back pain can indicate.

Nature of pain

Pain in the torso in the lumbar region is aching, chronic and acute, how much it can last, even the most experienced doctor will not say.

Acute pain is often called shooting through, it can suddenly appear over a period of from one to several weeks and, as a rule, goes away without medical intervention. But finally ceases to bother a person only after a year.

Three applications of query 2 were repeated, and a scar treatment on the left side of the back was added, which gave immediate relief on the left side. After 4-7 days, the patient found the disappearance of persistent pain, an important improvement in lower back pain and as a new discomfort in the area of ​​the left clavicle fracture and diarrhea for four days. Processed only the fault area. In this case, diarrhea was considered as a positive excretory reaction, so no treatment was indicated. The anterior muscles of tibialis and the long crotch of the affected leg were also subjected to neuromuscular modulation, trying to restore them.

It is possible to get rid of such pain only by applying a special device, the essence of which is that it radiates magnetic waves that are actively acting on the inflamed area.

As for chronic pain, it appears gradually and basically it is characterized as aching, and its duration is about 3 months. Sometimes a tingling or burning sensation may appear, and there is also a weakness in the legs. To establish the diagnosis, it is necessary to describe in detail the nature of the pain to your doctor, who will prescribe the necessary examination.

Possible diseases

Rupture of intervertebral discs

Many people know that the structure and structure of the vertebrae are divided among themselves by cartilage discs. The rupture of the outer layer may occur if disc degeneration occurs, due to injury or aging. Such a gap is often called a hernia. As a result of such a rupture, irritation or squeezing of the nerve roots may occur. In order not to damage them, doctors recommend wearing a bandage or a special corset.

Spondylosis

This disease is considered chronic and leads to the fact that the structure of the vertebrae is changing. The structure changes as a result of the appearance of osteophytes of different sizes. The large size of the osteophyte often leads to compression of the adjacent vertebrae and makes them less mobile. Spondylosis mainly occurs in a person who leads a sedentary lifestyle. In this situation, the corset and bandage will not bring much efficiency. It requires a comprehensive treatment.

Narrowing of the spinal canal

This disease is called stenosis. Stenosis is considered a chronic disease. In such a situation, the structure of the spinal canal narrows and squeezing of the spinal cord located in the spine occurs. Doctors recommend wearing a special corset that supports muscles, since the main cause of the disease is an aging person. The bandage in this case should not be used.

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis mainly weakens the bone corset, in other words, there is a loss of calcium in the bones. With age, the functions of each person begin to weaken and, of course, calcium is washed out. It all depends on how much the bone corset has lost calcium, of which it consists and, by the way, this process is less noticeable in men. In this case, calcium supplementation is recommended to strengthen the bones and wear a special bandage.

Lumbago

The disease is characterized by a sharp and acute pain in any unsuccessful movement, and the symptoms of lumbago resemble sciatica. Basically, they suffer from men after 35 years. At the first signs of it, it is necessary to visit a specialist as this disease violates the functions of the normal functioning of the spine. Here it is necessary to use a special magnet to strengthen the muscles. To do this, there is a device, however, how many sessions of magnetic therapy need to be held, the doctor must determine after a full examination of the person. Experts also recommend wearing a corset or bandage for pain relief, but only after consulting a doctor.

Sciatica

Many people are completely unfamiliar with this disease and do not know where it is. In another way, this disease is called - radiculitis, which is located in the lumbar region, when the functions of the normal work of the sacral are disturbed. Noticing the first symptoms of the disease, you should immediately consult a doctor. The treatment of mild radiculitis is that the person needs to wear a bandage or corset, but how long the bandage must be used should be determined by the doctor. The advanced stage of the disease requires surgical intervention.

Osteochondrosis of the lumbosacral spine

Of all diseases of the lumbar spine, osteochondrosis is considered the most common. It causes degenerative-dystrophic changes, which over time lead to the appearance of constant pain, hernias and protrusions. According to statistics, almost 80% of people who go to the doctor because of pain in the lumbar region, are diagnosed with osteochondrosis.

The most common cause of this disease is an excessive load on the lumbar spine. However, there are a number of other reasons. Besides physical activity, cause this disease can excess weight, which puts pressure on the spine. Passive lifestyle. Curvature of posture when a person spends a long time in the wrong position. Osteochondrosis also develops in trauma and excessive exercise, without the necessary training.

Signs of

The first symptom is periodic pain that occurs when lifting weights or some movements. Osteochondrosis can cause changes in the lumbar spine, which largely limit movement.. In the lumbar region there is a burning sensation, numbness, crawling and pricking.

Local decrease in temperature, dry integuments  and become pale, feeling of coldness appears. Very often may occur excessive sweating, and at the advanced stage dysfunction of the genital organs develops and urination is disturbed.

Diagnostics

It is also worth making a radiography. This device will help to more accurately determine the reason why the body hurts in the lumbar region. If necessary, the doctor should prescribe a more thorough examination, where you can examine all the muscles and torso of a person. It can be a computer or magnetic resonance imaging.

Treatment of osteochondrosis

Doctors say that it is impossible to completely cure osteochondrosis. However, the 1st and 2nd degree of the disease can be maintained. To do this, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive therapy.

The main directions of complex therapy:

If the muscles are very tense, it is necessary reduction of pathological stress.

Magnetic therapy

Magnet is a fairly well-known term in the treatment of diseases associated with the lumbar region. Magnetotherapy is a physiotherapeutic method of treatment.

This device involves the use of low-frequency and high-frequency magnetic fields of intermittent or pulsed type. Magnet for the treatment of this disease is used in combination with other methods. Such a device is used both for the chronic stage and for the maintenance of clinical remission of osteochondrosis.

During the period acute stage diseases, it is also necessary to use a magnet in order to get rid of severe pain. The device reduces the sensitivity of peripheral nerves and receptor apparatus. The magnet has such a structure that it can be used to extinguish the pathological impulses that occur in the zone where the pain is concentrated.

The magnet due to its effect has a vasodilator, antipastic and hypotensive effect. The device is also used to actively stimulate the regeneration of tissues in the altered intervertebral disk, which, in turn, stops the further development of diseases associated with the lumbar spine.

In order to apply a magnet, it is necessary to use a special device, inductors, applicators and inductors, which have the structure and shape of a solenoid. In depth, the magnetic field of the first type is from 3 to 4 cm, and when using the second type of inductors, all tissues on the body are exposed to magnetic effects.

How to use a magnet to treat the lumbar spine, prescribed by a doctor. To do this, he must check the structure of the vertebrae, the muscles on the human body, and only then determine the frequency of the procedures and the depth of the waves that the magnet radiates.

Do not forget that   the spine is the basis of our body and care should be taken to keep it healthy. After all, there are so many factors that have resulted in spinal problems, and they should be treated for more than one year. Take care of your health.

From October 30 to November 5, 2017, counseling and reception will be held in Lviv.  Accepts doctor Ignatiev Radion Gennadyevich. Visit time is limited. Record by phone: +38 099 430-93-00.

ICD-10: M54.5  (Low back pain)

  - This is the body's response to irritation of nerve fibers in the area below the 12 ribs and above the gluteal folds (coccyx). Most often it occurs due to degenerative-dystrophic lesions of the spine (osteochondrosis) or spondylarthrosis.

Dr. Ignatiev Clinic diagnoses and treats the causes of lower back pain in Kiev. Reception is conducted by qualified doctors vertebrologists, manual therapists.

According to our surveys, 28% of respondents (more than 500 people) complain of lower back. In all cases, a complete diagnosis is required to establish the cause of the pain.

Lumbar spine

Causes of low back pain

More often lower back pain  associated with changes in the lumbosacral spine, which must be taken very seriously. Most common causes: osteochondrosis, spondylarthrosis, protrusion, herniated disc. With problems with the spine, the symptoms are aggravated by movements.

But sometimes other causes can occur: metastatic tumors, vertebral fractures, metabolic, infectious and non-infectious lesions, pain from internal organs  (kidney, gynecological diseases).

According to modern studies, 90% of back pain is caused by myofascial dysfunction, the remaining 10% is due to vertebral disturbances. It has been proven that the process of osteochondrosis and spondyloarthrosis can be preceded by displacement of the vertebrae (functionally reversible blocking of intervertebral joints), which also explains the possibility of pain in adolescents and children.

Intervertebral blockage of joints can cause reflex muscular-tonic reactions, closing the ring: pain-tension-pain.

Lumbar lordosis score (lumbar curvature)

Until the 80s, the cause of the pain was seen in the occurrence of inflammation in the nerve root and unsuccessfully tried to treat with antibiotics. After a while, and with the advent of diagnostic methods such as MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), it was found that there was no true inflammation in the affected area.

The previously used diagnosis of "radiculitis" was replaced by more familiar today: vertebrogenic radiculopathy, discogenic disease, discogenic root-compression syndrome, vertebrogenic reflex syndrome. If we are talking about myofascial dysfunction: dorsalgia, lumbago, lumbodynia, lumbar sciatica, myofascial syndrome.

There are the following options for back pain:
  1) Lumbago (acute backache) - occurs as a response to hypothermia, the load;
  2) Lumbodynia (chronic discomfort, often aching) - a frequent satellite sedentary workThis is the response of the spine to prolonged exertion;
  3) Lumboischialgia (gives up in the leg) is one of the most serious symptoms of intervertebral hernia, requires immediate treatment.

Identify risk factors for discomfort in the lumbar region:

• Spinal curvature (scoliosis, kyphosis, kyphoscoliosis, including scoliotic posture, stoop);
• Long stay in one position, hypothermia, muscle overstrain;
• The weakness of the muscular-ligamentous apparatus;
• Eating disorders, inadequate intake of vitamins;
• Increased weight, smoking, drinking alcohol.

Diagnosis of lower back pain

Check the mobility of the lower gave back

Evaluation of symptoms, sensitivity in the lumbar region

Before you undertake any kind of treatment, you need a diagnosis (see the real reason).

The most informative MRI of the lumbar, but also need to check the kidneys, women - to consult with a gynecologist.

  - one of the most frequent complaints when contacting specialists. According to statistics, 70% of both men and women by the age of 30 felt this symptom. The loin is located between the chest and sacral divisions  spine, lower back. The largest load is distributed exactly on the lumbar spine.

Lumbar pain is a kind of payment for the transition of humanity to erect position.

Depending on the reason, it can be disturbing: dull, sharp, stabbing, burning, aching, manifests itself in one point of the spine, and can spread from the waist to the leg or the entire back. Pain may occur gradually, increasing over several days, or appear suddenly. Sometimes back pains are unbearable, the reactions to pain are individual, mental and age-related factors affect, with age, painful sensations with radiculitis are very strong. But how much pain would not be, it is important to promptly consult a specialist for treatment.

Diagnosis of back pain is not difficult, often enough to examine the spine, collect complaints, in some cases you may need additional examinations: computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), x-rays.

The cause of back pain often lies in excessive loads on the spine, injuries, diseases of the spine, sprains.

The most common causes of back pain:

• injuries, sprains, displacement of the vertebrae (spondylolysis, spondylolisthesis);
• compression of the nerve roots of the spinal cord, as a result of intervertebral hernia, displacement of the vertebrae, osteochondrosis (as a result of which degenerative processes occur in the spine), spinal stenosis;
• vertebral fractures due to injuries;
• as a result of spinal deformities (scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis);
• during pregnancy.

Much less often, the causes of back pain are infections, ankylosing spondylitis, Scheuermann's disease (deformation of the vertebrae), Paget's disease, diseases of the internal organs.

Symptoms of lower back pain can be divided into several categories:

1. symptoms of sprain are manifested by cramps, restriction of movements in the lumbar spine, pains extend to the buttocks, do not allow to bend;
2. neuro-radicular syndromes. The pain spreads to one or both legs, is manifested by various sensations of numbness, crawling, goose bumps, pain may increase when sneezing, coughing, prolonged sitting, standing;
3. other symptoms as a result of diseases. The pain usually occurs gradually, does not go away for a long time, it increases with time.

If back pain does not subside within 2-3 days, you should contact a specialist. You should not wait and suffer, while the pain is exhausted and disable you. For advice, you can always contact our medical center.

Pain is a complex adaptive mechanism, it is sometimes called "Watchdog"  health Caused by an external influence or malfunction in the body itself, it signals danger. After receiving a pain signal, the body includes mechanisms to protect against adverse effects. Due to pain, a number of pathological processes reveal themselves before any external symptoms of the disease occur. So pain plays a positive role: they let know that it is time to act. If you have pain in the lower back and sacrum, do not delay the treatment to the doctor. Remember Eastern wisdom: "Treat a mild disease so that you do not have to treat a severe one".

Diagnosis of pelvic obliquity

Forecast

Although the problem is quite common, all possible risks should be clearly understood. If the pain lasts more than 2 weeks, it turns into a chronic stage.

The prognosis depends on the age at which the first pains and its causes appeared.

The most unfavorable prognosis, if discomfort in the lower back occurs at the age of 17-19, this indicates an early onset of the disease. By 20–22, protrusions are projected. By the years 30-35 - intervertebral hernia. At a later age - worsening of hernias, the occurrence of diffuse neurological symptoms, autonomic dysfunction and vascular diseases.

If the pain in the lower back has arisen after 55 years old, is limited only in the lower back, it can be easily stopped by anesthetic, the reason is degenerative-dystrophic changes, then the prognosis is relatively favorable.

Lumbar pain treatment

Manipulations, treatment of pain in the lumbar, Kiev. Clinic Dr. Ignatieff

Since, in most cases of pain contributes to the defeat of the spine and muscular-ligamentous apparatus, the cause of the problem should be eliminated.

Elimination of subluxation of the vertebrae, immobilization of the affected part of the body in the acute period, the formation of an optimal musculo-ligamentous apparatus and the physiological motor stereotype are the main directions in the treatment.

In most cases, the treatment is drug-free and allows you to completely interrupt the pathological chain.

Take off a little acute pain  will help diclofenac ointment (reduces inflammation), aching pain  better to heal with movement (if the reason is known). In all cases, you need to stabilize the spine and restore its normal operation.

Treatment at the clinic of Dr. Ignatiev, Kiev

• Treatment without pills and injections;
• Treating the cause of lower back pain;
• Strengthening the spine and restoration of its functions.

The course of treatment is built individually in each case. If the patient’s condition is not neglected, then a course of spinal correction using the Ignatieff method is carried out - the subluxations of the vertebrae are removed, the pathological biomechanics is eliminated. A course of therapeutic charging is compiled to create an optimal motor stereotype. All necessary methods are added to stop the progression of the underlying disease and eliminate all manifestations of the existing one. The course of treatment lasts from 1.5 months., The first 7-10 days with a mandatory stay in Kiev.

Myths about back pain

№1 If there is   spinal painthen you need to perform the operation.

This is a deep misconception that discourages patients from timely treatment. The operation in the initial stages is not shown to anyone. Any treatment should begin with conservative measures. Having enough experience in treating the most complex diseases of the spine, it can be said that even with a herniated disc, the operation is shown in no more than 5-10% of cases.

№2 The pain will pass by itself, it does not need to be treated, it is for everyone.

Another myth that is not confirmed in reality. Lower back pain occurs in no more than a third of the population. Such a large spread was due to the lack of treatment and the occurrence of chronic pain in most. The very presence of discomfort in the spinal column depresses the nervous system and causes many related problems.

No. 3 It is possible to treat the lower back without diagnostics, like 70 years ago.

Diagnosis is crucial. Although we specialize more in treatment, we do not start a course without examinations. In our practice, we often find cases when the diagnosis opens everyone's eyes.

No. 4 For back pain, a mattress, pillow, corset or massager with “cosmic stones” can help.

№5 With back pain, you need to lie in bed

The lack of movement will exacerbate the metabolism in the tissues, increase stagnation, which will have a negative impact on the well-being. But the load and excessive movement is contraindicated in pain, there must be an optimal motor mode.
