Backpain
|
| Description |
| Back pain (also known as Dorsopathy)
is pain felt in the back that may originate from
the muscles, nerves, bones, joints or other structures
in the spine. Acute or short-term low back pain
generally lasts from a few days to a few weeks.
Most acute back pain is the result of trauma to
the lower back or a disorder such as arthritis.
Pain from trauma may be caused by a sport injury,
work around the house or in the garden, or a sudden
jolt such as a car accident or other stress on
spinal bones and tissues. |
| Root Causes |
- Injury or overuse of muscles, ligaments,
facet joints, and the sacroiliac joints.
- Pressure on nerve roots in the special canal.
- Small fractures to the spine from osteoporosis.
- Muscle spasm (very tense muscles that remain
contracted).
- Ruptured or herniated disk.
- Degeneration of the disks.
- Poor alignment of the vertebrae.
- Spinal stenosis (narrowing the spinal canal).
- Strain or tears to the muscles or ligaments
supporting the back.
- Spine curvatures which may be inherited
and seen in children and teens.
- Other medical conditions like fibromyalgia.

| Symptoms |
Pain and spasm of the muscles
in the lower back is the hallmark of back pain.
This can occur after standing, stooping, bending,
lifting, or after sitting in a chair for too
long a time. Occasionally, pain is diffusely
localized over the entire lower back.
Back pain usually referred to as acute if it
has been present for less than a month and chronic
if ii lasts for longer than a month. Young people
are more likely to have brief acute episodes
of back pain and chronic pain is more characteristic
of older people. |
