Lower back pain

It is believed that back pain is a sign of old age. But in our time, this symptom is experienced by both young and middle-aged people. Why does back pain occur? What to do to eliminate it?

There is a large load on the lower back: in a standing position - up to 100 kg, with a straight back - up to 150 kg. Over time, this causes wear and deformation of the intervertebral discs in this area of ​​the back. Even slight pain can indicate the development of a serious disease. Here are just some of the causes of lower back pain:
- osteochondrosis;
- herniated intervertebral discs;
- diseases of cartilage and joints;
- mechanical damage to soft tissues;
- pathologies and diseases of internal organs;
- infectious and inflammatory diseases;
- scoliosis;
- radiculitis;
- piriformis syndrome.

Pain in each of these diseases is different. So, with damage to soft tissues and diseases of the joints, aching pain is felt. With osteochondrosis, pain can become baking. With hernias and protrusions, the pain intensifies during active movements. Piriformis syndrome is accompanied by tearing, dull, pulling pains.

Unfortunately, many people who experience low back pain self-medicate with anti-inflammatory and pain medications. But they only temporarily relieve pain, and the disease itself continues to progress, turning into a chronic form. Therefore, you should not ignore the pain, but seek help from a specialist as soon as possible. In the Marusich ORC, an experienced neurosurgeon Dmitry Orlov will diagnose and prescribe a course of treatment. To relieve acute pain, a therapeutic blockade is used, and then a complex treatment is prescribed, aimed not only at eliminating the symptoms of the disease, but also at preventing the development of pathologies in the future, for example:
- therapeutic massage and manual therapy;
- kinesiotherapy;
- correction of the spine.

Experienced doctors at the Marusich Medical Center will help you stay healthy and experience more joy in life.
