Pain is viewed as a discomfort usually physical suffering caused by injuries, sickness or illness. It is a swift departure from the typical well being of a person that brings about a very intense level of restlessness. In other words, back pain can be viewed as a distress to the back that causes a sensation that hurts. It is an uncomfortable feeling in the back that instantly tells you something is wrong. Back pain is a common reason for absence from work and visits to the doctor. It is also one of the most common reasons people self-treat and seeks medical attention and care. Back pain will affect approximately 3 in four adults in their lifetime.
In this text, when we say back pain, we are referring to the pain that originates in the spine anywhere between the upper back and the lower back. Back pains are in varying degrees and different levels of severity. The acute back pain usually occurs every day. It may come suddenly and appear for a maximum period of 3 months, i.e. it lasts for only a short time. The chronic back pain gradually develops over an extended period, lasts for over three months, and causes long-term problems. It can be severe but may be characterized as mild, deep, achy, burning, or electric-like. When back pain travels into another part of the body, such as the leg, it may be termed as radicular pain, particularly when it radiates below the knee. This scenario is often called a lumbar radiculopathy. Fortunately, not all cases of back pain include leg pain.
There are several causative factors for back pain. They include a wrong sitting posture, an inappropriate standing position, bending over, walking, and twisting at the waist, wrong sleeping position or a bad mattress, lifting heavy materials, as well as long driving sessions without taking a break. It is important to note that this is not true for every patient. Rather, it depends on what level of the spine is affected and the diagnosis, or cause. Back pain covers many different regions of the human spine and if you see a doctor for back pain, he’s likely to use terms such as thoracic, lumbar, lumbrosacral, or sacrum. • Lumbar refers to the lower back • Sacrum is that part of the spine that is behind the pelvis • Thoracic spine is the upper and mid back areas, and where your ribs attach to the spinal column • Lumbrosacral is the low back, sacrum, and possibly the tailbone (sometimes referred to as the coccyx)
Back pain as a topic covers a broad range of areas because between the upper back and tailbone, there are 17 vertebral bodies, many joints, the sacrum and tailbone, inter-vertebral discs, spinal cord and nerve roots, blood vessels and muscular supporting tissues. A minute injury, such as a back sprain or strain from lifting and twisting can cause immediate and severe pain that is typically self-limiting. Back pains are not only caused by injuries or trauma. Some back pain cases are congenital (found at birth), age-related, degenerative, disease-related, and may be linked to poor posture, obesity or an unhealthy way of life such as smoking.
