Back pain is one of the most common issues today, ranking second only to migraines. According to statistics, 90% of the adult population has experienced back pain at least once, and only 30% seek medical help. This often leads to minor problems developing into chronic serious conditions.
Causes of Back Pain
Back pain can be acute, pulling, stabbing, burning, dull, or aching. Sometimes it spreads across the entire spine, and sometimes it is localized to one specific area. The pain can be caused by various reasons, which can be broadly categorized into several main groups:
- Spinal Diseases: osteochondrosis, intervertebral disc hernias, osteoporosis, vertebral displacements, sciatica, pinched nerve endings, neuralgia of inflammatory or traumatic nature.
- Excess Weight: Obesity puts excessive strain on the spine, causing it to deform and curve, leading to pain.
- Injuries: Injuries resulting from falls, accidents, or mishaps.
- Excessive Loads.
- Sedentary Lifestyle.
How to Start Treating Your Back?
Back pain can cause significant discomfort. To relieve it, many people use warming ointments and tinctures based on hot pepper, snake or bee venom (Finalgon, Capsicam, Apizatron), and tablets based on metamizole or diclofenac (Zinepar, Tempalgin, Solpadein, Vovinak). Simultaneous use of ointments and medications enhances the analgesic effect. However, this approach only provides temporary relief, while the disease may progress. Remember, the sooner you see a doctor, the easier it will be to treat your back!
