Chronic, severe back pain interferes with almost every activity & this pain causes more loss of work than all other ailments combined. More ever the common cause for all this misery is considered "Trauma" or "Injury".
Besides less dramatic forms of injury can also be categorized as chronic trauma,
Chronic trauma occurs in most of our daily lives many
times during each day, day after day. The cumulative effects of chronic trauma eventually
reach a point at which the back is no longer capable of withstanding them. This is the
point when pain occurs. Psychological stress may also cause back pain. An individual
develops pain in his back as a defense mechanism in a situation in which he finds he can
no longer cope with emotional difficulties. But the pain he feels is still real &
must be treated.
Back pain can be part of ageing when the discs between the
spinal vertebrae deteriorate. Spine is a column of 33 bones & provides mobility &
stability in humans unlike the animals where it acts as a suspension bridge. Each
vertebral segment functions through intervertebral discs, facets & ligaments that any
abnormality (even poor musculature & posture) result in back pain.
There are two basic reasons why the lumbar region is so
prone to injury & why so many millions of people suffer from back pain. The first
reason concerns our discs. During the first 15 to 20 years of life, blood circulates
through these tough, flexible shock absorbers that fit between the bones of our spine.
During in those twenty years, the discs are in their prime. However, after early
adulthood, the blood supply to the disc gradually stops. It becomes weaker & more
vulnerable & if damaged, it heals slowly, if at all. The second reasons for back pain
is bad habit of lifting & carrying & this lay tremendous stress on the lumbar
discs.
Every action of day to day life, like walking, sleeping,
and lifting etc. is done properly then back pain can be avoided. But today stress filled
life do not allow you to things properly & patiencely, somewhere in some way you slip
and you feel a pain either in back or in some other joints. So you always need a treatment
or remedy.
Low back pain: -(sacroiliac joint dysfunction)
This pain is experienced directly over the sacroiliac
joint and may extend into the buttock & even radiates down the leg. This is differs
from many other conditions such as degenerative disc disease, herniated discs &
arthritic conditions of the spine, produce very similar symptoms. While these other
conditions are commonly considered by physicians for low back pain, the sacroiliac joint
often escapes evaluation. The reasons for this-
