Back Pain Causes

Back pain can be a side effect of a wide range of diseases and conditions. The primary cause of the issue can be a problem with the back itself or by a problem in another part of the body. Most of the time, specialists can't discover a cause for the pain. At the point when a cause is determined, natural explanations include the following causes below.


 

Causes and Symptoms of Back Pain

 

Causes Of Back Pain:


• Injury or stress including the back muscles, back sprain or strain; unending over-burden of back muscles caused by obesity; and here and now over-burden of back muscles resulting from any abnormal anxiety, for example, pregnancy or lifting.

• Disease or harm including the back bones (vertebrae), including crack from an accident or caused by the bone-diminishing illness osteoporosis.

• Degenerative arthritis, a "wear and tear" that might be identified with age, damage and hereditary inclination.

• Disease or harm including the spinal nerves, including nerve damage caused by a distending disk (a fibrous pad between vertebrae) or spinal stenosis (a narrowing of the spinal trench).

• Kidney stones or a kidney contamination (pyelonephritis)

Rarer Causes Include:

• Inflammatory arthritis, including ankylosing spondylitis and related conditions.

• A spinal tumor or a disease that has spread (metastasized) to the spine from somewhere else in the body.

• Infection, which might be on the plate space, bone (osteomyelitis), guts, pelvis or circulation system

Symptoms of Back Pain:

Back pain varies generally. A few indications (regularly called "warning" side effects) may show that the back pain has a more genuine cause. These incorporate fever, weight reduction, a history of the tumor and neurological side effects, for example, weakness, numbness or incontinence (automatic loss of pee).

Back pain is frequently joined by different side effects that may help indicate its cause. For instance:

• Back sprain or strain – Back pain normally starts on the day after substantial effort or a movement that requires carving. Muscles in the back, buttocks, and thighs are frequently sore and stiff. The back may have territories that are sore when touched or squeezed.

• Fibromyalgia – notwithstanding back pain, there are normally different areas of stiffness and pains in the storage compartment, neck, shoulders, knees, and elbows. Pain might be either a general soreness or a biting hurt, and stiffness is regularly most exceedingly bad in the morning. Individuals, as a rule, grumble of feeling strangely drained, particularly of awakening tired, and they have specific ranges that are agonizing to touch, called delicate focuses.

• Degenerative arthritis of the spine – Together with back torment, stiffness and inconvenience are twisting around, which more often than not creates over numerous years.

• Inflammatory arthritis, including ankylosing spondylitis and related conditions – In these disorders, there is torment in the lower back, together with morning stiffness in the back, hips or both. There also can be pain and stiffness in the neck or trunk or an amazingly drained feeling. Different components may incorporate psoriasis, eye pain and redness, or the runs, contingent upon the particular issue bringing on back pain. This gathering of sicknesses is a moderately rare cause of back pain.

• Cancer in the spinal bones or adjacent structures – Back pain is predictable and may turn out to be more terrible when you are resting. Deadness, shortcoming or shivering of the legs that keeps on deteriorating. If malignancy spreads to spinal nerves that control the bladder and entrail, there might be inside or bladder incontinence (loss of control).

ACUTE STAGE SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT

 

This stage is characterized by swelling, redness, pain, and possibly a local sensation of heat, indicating inflammation. If coolness makes your pain feel better, then the Acute Stage Treatment is recommended.

 

ACUTE STAGE SYMPTOMS:

 

The acute stage starts the moment an injury occurs and lasts until the swelling and inflammation are gone. The swelling is the result of the blockage of blood, tissue fluids and circulation in the back because their normal movement has been disrupted by the force of the injury. Just like cars back up behind a traffic jam, causing congestion, exhaust and overheating; blood and fluids back up behind the injured back, causing pain, inflammation, lumps and swelling.

The sensation of heat is due to the warming action of the blood and fluids overheating in the injured back as they back up and accumulate. Stiffness and decreased mobility are due to spasms in tendons and ligaments that have contracted reflexively beyond their normal range from the impact of the injury.

As ligaments and tendons stretch and tear, blood from ruptured blood vessels becomes trapped in the local tissues. As the trapped blood clots up, it sticks the tissues together creating adhesions. Adhesions cause pain, inflammation and restricted movement because the layers of tissue that used to slide smoothly across one another now adhere and snap which interferes with normal functioning. It is essential to break up clotted blood as quickly as possible to prevent adhesions and scar tissue from forming.

During the acute stage it is very important to restore normal circulation to the back, break up clotted blood and stagnant fluids, reduce swelling, and reduce the redness and heat associated with inflammation. By restoring the flow of blood, fluids, and circulation in the back, then pain is relieved, damaged tissues can regenerate with healthy functional tissue, and the back can strengthen and regain it's mobility.

 

ACUTE STAGE TREATMENT:

 

1. Apply the Sinew Herbal Ice on your back to reduce redness, swelling, and inflammation while dispersing accumulated blood and fluids to help restore normal circulation to the back. This first-aid treatment is used in place of ice to significantly speed up the healing process. It reduces the swelling and inflammation more effectively than ice, allowing you to more quickly regain range of motion. Acute Sinew Liniment can be used in-between applications.

Ice is not recommended because it does not help repair damaged tissues and keeps everything in the injured area frozen, causing the stagnation of blood and fluids and the contraction of muscles, tendons and ligaments. In Chinese sports medicine ice is not used and is considered a culprit in injuries that don’t heal well.

2. Massage your back with Acute Sinew Liniment to relieve pain, reduce swelling and inflammation, break up clotted blood and stagnant fluids, and stimulate circulation of blood and fluids to help cells quickly repair damaged tissues. Sinew Herbal Ice can be used in-between applications.

3. The Sinew Sports Massage Oil is recommended for use before and after exercise, sports and strenuous activity. It warms and stimulates your muscles, increases circulation and relieves tightness, hence improving your performance and helping to prevent injury.

 

 

CHRONIC STAGE SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT

 

This stage begins once the swelling and inflammation are gone, but you still feel pain, stiffness, weakness, and/or sensitivity in cold and damp weather. If heat makes your pain feel better, then the Chronic Stage Treatment is recommended.


CHRONIC STAGE SYMPTOMS:

 

The chronic stage begins once the swelling and inflammation are gone, but you still feel aching pain and stiffness. This is because there are still accumulations of stagnant blood and fluids in your back that are blocking circulation and blood supply to damaged tissues, creating residual pain, stiffness and weakness. You may actually feel hard nodules like sand in the tissue, indicating accumulation, calcification, and adhesions, which all cause pain, stiffness, and joint instability.

Your back may feel more sensitive to the cold and ache in cold and damp weather due to impaired circulation. When you move your back you may hear a clicking or popping sound from the tendons and ligaments slipping very slightly in and out of their natural alignment indicating weakness and joint instability, causing chronic pain and a cycle of reinjury. These symptoms are often the result of failure to treat the injury properly from the outset and overicing.

Increasing circulation and blood supply to the damaged tissues is very important in treating chronic injuries because tendons and ligaments do not have an extensive direct supply of blood. That is why chronic injuries can be slow to heal. Increasing local circulation also prevents cold and dampness from penetrating the injured area, preventing pain and stiffness.

During the chronic stage it is very important to break up remaining accumulations of blood and fluids, and increase circulation and blood supply to the damaged tissues. By increasing circulation and blood flow in the back, then pain and stiffness is relieved, and the tendons and ligaments can strengthen to restore stability.


CHRONIC STAGE TREATMENT:

 

1. Massage your back with Chronic Sinew Liniment to relieve pain and stiffness, strongly stimulate circulation and blood flow to damaged tissues, and promote the healing of overstretched tendons and ligaments. The Sinew Relaxing Soak can be used in-between applications.

2. Soak your back with the Sinew Relaxing Soak to relax muscles and tendons that are in spasm, ease joint pain and stiffness, and improve range of motion. The Sinew Relaxing Soak is particularly useful if you feel restricted mobility in your back. The soak can be used by saturating a towel in the liquid and applying it to your back. Chronic Sinew Liniment can be used in-between applications.

3. The Sinew Sports Massage Oil is recommended for use before and after exercise, sports and strenuous activity. It warms and stimulates your muscles, increases circulation and relieves tightness, hence improving your performance and helping to prevent injury.
