Back Pain Secrets Part 1

Introduction

Back pain in 19 out of 20 people is linked to the way the bones, ligaments and muscles of the back work together. Shoulder pain may be localized or may be referred to areas around the shoulder or down the arm. Shoulder pain is one of the most common reasons for visiting the physician’s office. You are in good company because 4 out of 5 of us get back pain at some time. It is usually possible for people with back pain to exercise and improve their fitness.

Neck Pain

There are seven cervical vertebrae supported by ligaments, muscles, tendons and other fibre. It is very venerable section of the spine because the spinal cord (brain extension) caries nerve impulses between the brain and the rest of the nervous system.
In 85% of cases, we’re unable to be precise about why people have back pain. This can be frustrating. It may be more helpful to think about what you can do to make your back better quicker. Research has shown that occupational factors or physical factors only play a small part in back pain.

Pain

Pain relief is obtained by interfering with pain signals to the brain and by causing the release of natural painkillers (called endorphins). Pain can occur when, for example, someone lifts something too heavy or overstretches, causing a sprain, strain, or spasm in one of the muscles or ligaments in the back.

Pain is a warning sign and our advice is if there is something wrong, do something about it. As a general guide regarding the symptoms of sciatic pain, the hip and groin are supplied by nerves from the L1 level, the thigh by L1 and L2, the knee by L3, the hamstring by L4; and the calf, ankle and foot by L5 and S1 (affected in 85% of cases).

Exercises

The patient is asked to practice specific spinal exercises to strengthen the abdominal muscles which help to control (50%) of the stability of the spinal column. Specific exercises also help to strengthen the back muscles that have become weak with lack of use. Do some specific back exercises every day and some general fitness exercise as well. Remember, specific exercises keep your neck and back supple and strong, and general exercises help you feel good about yourself and help release natural painkillers (endorphins). Yoga practice daily will bring you many benefits.
