Back Pain and Diagnosis

Image
Back Pain and Diagnosis Did you know that many doctors miss areas of concern that could lead to cures? Did you know that back pain is common, yet many doctors fail to see the cause? The answer is simple. The reason is most medical doctors have little experience in the system of healing so to speak. Rather many doctors focus on prescribing medicines and searching for answers, which many times rest in front of them. Don’t get me wrong, good doctors reach everywhere, yet these people lack educational knowledge of the spinal column , central nervous system and so on. As well, these people fail to see that many causes of back pain rests in misaligned bones, or spine. Of course, diseases may cause back pain as well. Sitting too long, lack of stretch exercises, etc, all cause lower back pain.  If the back pain is, serious it will often show up in MRI or CT scans . X-rays will show back conditions, however since doctors review all areas, except the alignment of the bones and spine,...

Muscles and Nerves in Back Pain

Muscles and Nerves in Back Pain Back pain has affected millions of people around the world. Back pain is caused from trauma, injuries, inappropriate bending and lifting, and disease. Back pain is common, yet some people suffering back pain for a few short months, it disappears and is never felt again. Others will feel the pain daily for the course of their lifetime. What causes back pain? First, we must consider the muscles and nerves in back pain, as well as particle muscle diseases to answer the question correctly.  The muscles are where we get our strength to move, since it exerts pressure that forces the bones to move. The muscles are the locomotive mechanisms that are constantly interrupted by the actions we take and the gravity and influence of the weight that affects us from the earth. When we perform asymmetrical actions, the muscles achieve a degree of strength from the spinal column . It supports this structure of the muscles to a degree. On the other hand, the ...

How the Skeletal Muscles cause Back Pain

How the Skeletal Muscles cause Back Pain  The skeletal bones make up more than 200 short, long, irregular, and flat structures. Inside the bones is calcium , phosphorus , magnesium , and RBCs , or marrow , which produces and generate red blood cells . The bones work along side the muscles. The muscles and bones afford support, defense for the internal organs, and locomotion .  The skeletal muscles are our source of mobility, which supports the posture . The muscles work alongside the posture by shortens and tighten it. The bones attach to the muscles via tendons . The muscle then starts to contract with stimulus of muscle fibers via a motor nerve cell , or neuron . The neurons consist of axon , cell bodies , and dendrites , which transport to the nerve impulses and are the essential makeup of our functional components within the larger system of nerves. ( Central Nervous System-CNS ) CNS is a network or system of nerve cells, fibers, etc, that conveys and transmits ...

How Back Pain Starts

How Back Pain Starts  When considering back pain we must concern ourselves with its variants. For instance, back pain can start with slip disks , which in medical terms is called “ Herniated nucleus pulposa .” ( HNP ) Doctors define slip disks as ruptures of the “ intervertebral disk .” The intervertebral rests between the vertebrae ( Spinal Column ) of the backbone.  The interruption has variants, including the “ Lumbrosacral ,” ( L4 and L5 ) as well as cervical C5-7 . The cervical is at the neck and belongs to other parts of the back and neck as well. When doctors consider slip disks they often look through etiology , which includes neck and back strains, trauma, congenital/inborn bone malformation, heavy lifting, degenerated disks, and/or weakness of ligaments.  After carefully considering, etiology doctors consider Pathophysiology , which includes protrusions of the “ nucleus pulposus .” The center connects to the column or spinal canal and perhaps compr...
