Back pain is the most common injury to occur in the human body. It is common because we fall over again and the key to a pain-free life is prevention.
Joint pain can be a result of arthritis, degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, herniated disc, degenerative spinal stenosis, pterygium, herniated discs, and the dreaded LBP. The most common cause of back pain is slipped or fractured vertebrae. They can also be caused by severe strain or overexertion.
Back pain can result from a variety of activities, but the main culprits are lifting, kneeling, bicycling, lifting without the proper support, lifting with the spine in a bad position, and working while sitting. Severe backache is caused by a chiropractor but it is also possible to treat back pain naturally without the use of medications. With the high demand for natural pain relief, the internet is a good place to start. I have found many websites with natural back pain relief methods.
I would be lying if I said that no one has ever told you that you will hurt your back by sitting for too long. You may also have a major problem if you have ever had back pain or sports-related issues from the time you were a child. I have seen it all and no matter how advanced or degenerative your spinal disc condition is, it can still be treated naturally.
Unfortunately, most people have back pain due to something that could have been prevented. Your doctor and insurance companies may be the reason that you are sitting so much. Sitting does not mean you have to suffer. If you get up and move around once in a while your posture will improve, your back pain will resolve and you will enjoy a more active lifestyle.
Herniated disc symptoms vary from patient to patient, and they also differ depending on the type of herniated disc. A herniated disc can either cause pain as soon as it ruptures or as a complication that resolves with time. A herniated disc can sometimes be difficult to diagnose. Some doctors only see the symptoms but not the source of the problem. A chiropractor should always be able to give you a firm diagnosis.
It is rare for the sciatic nerve to have pain caused by degenerative disc disease. The symptoms are usually a constant dull ache throughout the lower body. Sometimes the pain in the hips and legs from sciatica is worse than the disc pain. The most common sciatica symptom is numbness at the buttock and the knee.
Back pain caused by disc disease can be caused by any combination of the above-mentioned reasons and in some cases, there are many other contributing factors. Diagnosing the problem and confirming the diagnosis is essential.
One example of a relatively new diagnosis is spinal decompression therapy. It has become very popular with athletes because it usually corrects the problems that cause low back pain.
With spinal decompression therapy, a technician sits on your back in a kneeling position and applies gentle pressure to decompress the discs that are bulging out of the spinal canal. The technician applies gentle, consistent pressure to the back and hip joints, the neck, and shoulders. This technique takes care of the low back problem in no time.
When your doctor says that your low back pain is due to herniated discs, it is necessary to have him or her check you out before prescribing any medications. Not all patients will respond the same to medications prescribed by the chiropractor. Taking medication for a prolonged period can actually do damage to your nervous system.
