What is the cause of back pain

Back spine pain will affect your life and work, so proper care and health care is very important. You should pay attention to changing bad sitting habits, do appropriate exercise, pay attention to dispelling wind and cold, and avoid the invasion of cold and damp air.

1. Causes of back spine pain:

The cause of spinal pain may be that long-term hunching the back or leaning the body may cause damage to local soft tissue and produce pain. If cervical or lumbar spine lesions occur, the possibility of spondylitis or ankylosing spondylitis should be considered. The main symptoms of spinal pain include pain in the head, neck, arms, hands and chest, and may have progressive limb sensory and movement disorders. Severe cases may cause limb weakness, even incontinence, paralysis, and involvement of the vertebral artery and sympathetic nerves may lead to dizziness, palpitations and other corresponding clinical manifestations. Corresponding sleep may also be poor and nightmares may occur.

2. How to prevent spinal pain:

1. Reduce bad habits of lying or sitting for long periods of time, exercise more, and strengthen your lumbar muscles.

2. Pay attention to rheumatism. According to the season, add clothes and keep warm to prevent cold and wind.

3. Pay attention to your sleeping posture. When you lie flat on your back, use something like a towel to pad your waist so that your waist is slightly lifted. This will protect the physiological curve of the spine.

4. When studying or working, try to keep your chest up and stomach in, and sit upright. (This posture is difficult for most people to maintain. You can sit up straight for a while, take a break, then do it again, and then rest.)

5. Lifestyle methods to alleviate low back pain can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. The effect of spinal disease is best in the initial treatment, and health conditioning methods are used in the middle stage of the disease. The traditional theory of health care for spinal treatment believes that "wind, cold and dampness block the meridians, causing meridian blockage, and blockage causes pain", so health care treatment generally aims to dispel wind and cold, relieve spasms and dredge meridians, and promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

3. Support and protection functions

When the human body is upright, the center of gravity passes through the odontoid process at the top and reaches the pelvis about 7 cm to the left of the second sacral vertebra, which is equivalent to the back of the frontal axis plane of the hip joint and the front of the knee and ankle joints. The upper end of the spine supports the head, and the chest and ribs form the thorax. The upper limbs are connected to the spine via the humerus, clavicle, sternum and muscles, while the lower limbs are connected to the spine via the pelvis. Various activities of the upper and lower limbs are regulated by the spine to maintain body balance. The four physiological curves of the spine make it like a spring, which can increase the ability to buffer shocks and enhance the stability of posture. The intervertebral discs can also absorb shocks, preventing damage to the skull and brain during strenuous exercise or jumping. The spine, ribs, sternum and hip bones form the thorax and pelvis respectively, playing an important role in protecting the chest and pelvic organs. In addition, the spine has great mobility.
