Excruciating Back Pain

Back pain can range in severity from an annoying and occasional pain to a constant excruciating and debilitating back pain that may become an overwhelming negative part of life and relationships.

Muscle strains (pulled muscles) are commonly identified as the cause of back pain, as are muscle imbalances. Pain from such an injury often remains as long as the muscle imbalances persist. The muscle imbalances cause a mechanical problem with the skeleton, building up pressure at points along the spine, which causes the pain.

Another cause of acute low back pain is a meniscoid occlusion. The more mobile regions of the spine, such as the facet joints, have invaginations of their synovial membranes that act as a cushion to help the bones move over each other smoothly. The synovial membrane is well supplied with blood and nerves. When these become pinched or trapped sudden severe pain may result. The pinching causes the membrane to become inflamed, causing greater pressure and ongoing pain. Symptoms include severe low back pain that may be accompanied by muscle spasm, pain with walking, concentration of pain to one side, but no radiculopathy (radiating pain down buttock and leg). Relief should be felt with flexion (bending forward), and exacerbated with extension (bending backward).

When back pain lasts more than three months, or if there is more radicular pain (sciatica) than back pain, a more specific diagnosis can usually be made. There are several common causes of back pain: for adults under age 50, these include spinal disc herniation and degenerative disc disease or isthmic spondylolisthesis; in adults over age 50, common causes also include osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease) and spinal stenosis, trauma, cancer, infection, fractures, and inflammatory disease. Non-anatomical factors can also contribute to or cause back pain, such as stress, repressed anger, or depression. Even if there is an anatomical cause for the pain, if depression is present it should also be treated concurrently.

Modern day life with high levels of stress, sedentary working practices may contribute to the tensions which cause back pain. Certainly the computer workstation along with the VDU screen and keyboard results in lower back pain, eye strain, tension and stress. Only strict adherence to health and safety procedures for sensible computer usage may mitigate these problems.

There is a whole range of measures aimed at dealing with extreme pain. They range from conventional surgery and drugs, to a whole range of natural holistic answers. Physical therapies including massage, mobilization of joints and energy work. Nutrition plus herbs and supplements such as Glucosamine are another avenue to explore. Pain management systems such as those included in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) or EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) offer some new and exciting ways of approaching pain relief. Any or all of these options will be of benefit, perhaps a combination will work in managing instances of extreme pain.

The range of options to choose from is quite staggering. For more information on how to do some of these things for yourself or to choose the right therapy for you go to www.backpainloss.com. You can start to get back pain relief now!
