The back pain
|
|
|
The back pain is most of the time localized. It occurs more often in the neck and shoulders areas (cervical pain) or in the low vertebral column, meaning the dorso-lumbar and lumbar region (back-lumbago or lumbago).
While cervical pain is perceived as a sense

|
of
tension in the neck or in the shoulders, the pain caused by
lumbago is experienced in the lumbar area of the column, and
also on the back, the gluteal muscles, and the legs.
The reaction of the people who suffer from this is
directly proportional to the intensity of the
perceived pain.
People who suffer from sharp pains tend to limit
their movements in order to avoid any additional
discomfort; people who suffer from “deaf ” pain,
which means less sharp but continuous pain, tend to
rigidify or use wrong posture but, in this way, they
will cause additional long term pain.

What are the causes of the painful symptomatology?
● the prolonged maintenance of a wrong posture, due to bad habits or necessity;
● degenerative lesions of vertebral articulations (osteoarthritis), which affect ligaments, intervertebral discs and vertebral musculature;
● wrong postures, often asymmetric, which can affect articulations, ligaments and muscle structure and function;
● the contraction of vertebral muscular groups may also be the cause of the increase and persistence of the disease;
● the weariness of non-trained muscles can be the cause of additional pain;
● the excess of weight can contribute to increase the problem, especially in the lumbar area.
