Low pain is a common phenomenon that most adults face less or more often.For many, they are constant, background.However, sometimes they are able to have a significant negative impact on quality of life to interfere with everyday activity.In this case, it is necessary to initiate the diagnosis and treatment of pain in the spine in the lower back, as it may be a sign of a severe pathology.
What to do if your back hurts in the lower back?
What to do if your back hurts in the lumbar area?First of all, the patient needs to assume independently what the cause has discomfort.
Pain can cause two types of pathologies:

- Directly associated with the musculoskeletal system.They are characterized by increase/appearance when altering posture, active movements, dynamic load in the musculoskeletal system.For the same reason, the pain appears after a long work sitting and so on;
- Associated with internal organ pathologies.In this case, you can determine the problem by concomitant symptoms - in kidney disease, this is an increase in temperature, difficulties with urination, with lumbar pain bladder diseases, intensifies/appears during urination.Gynecological pathologies are accompanied by characteristic symptoms of the genitals, menstrual cycle.
If the patient has reason to believe that pain in the lower back is associated with gynecological pathology, after going to the doctor, the following diagnostic studies will be performed:
- Ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs;
- Diagnostic Creetage;
- Pathological microflora stain;
- General blood test.
In case of suspicion of kidney pathology, bladder, the following studies that the therapist prescribes are performed:
- Kidney/Bladder Ultrasound Study;
- General urine analysis;
- Biochemical blood test;
- Manual inspection.
In case of suspected pathology of the musculoskeletal system, causing lower back pain, you should consult a vertebrologist/orthopedic/neurologist.
To establish the presence of a spinal disease, the following studies are performed:
- X -Ray - View only bone tissues, but you can determine the indirect signals of joint tissue pathologies, intervertebral discs;
- Manual inspection - reflex check, sensitivity;
- An electroneurogram in case of suspected significant involvement of nervous tissue in the process;
- Ultrasound of the spine with contraindications for other research methods.
The most informative complex research methods for lumbar pain - CT, magnetic resonance imaging.They can be used in any case, if necessary, confirm the diagnosis or if it is impossible to put it in another method.
Comprehensive treatment
How to treat back pain in the lower back?If they are associated with internal organ pathologies, their cause must be cured.With urolithiasis, surgical elimination of stones is recommended, dissolving them with special medications.With pyelonephritis, cystitis is prescribed Lissotics, a broad spectrum of action for a long time.In the case of gynecological pathologies that cause lower back pain, it all depends on your type: hormones, antibiotics, anti -inflammatory drugs and surgical intervention can be prescribed.
But most of the time, lower back pain is caused by pathologies of the musculoskeletal system, which also requires comprehensive treatment.An orthopedist neurologist can prescribe this treatment.

- Pallets analgesicsThey are allowed in extreme cases, as they have side effects, negatively affect the state of the gastric mucosa, but more effectively relieve pain than NSAIDs.Take strictly, if necessary, for 1 tablet.Against -Indicated during pregnancy, stomach ulcer, in some other cases;
- Injections analgesicsThey do not have such a negative effect on the mucous membrane, introduced in individual dosages, also strictly according to the indications.Against -Indicated during pregnancy, reduce blood coagulation.
Methods have a pronounced analgesic effect, but with a severe pathology, only comprehensive treatment will help alleviate exacerbation.
Additional drugs
During the complex back pain therapy in the lower back, other medicinal substances are prescribed:
- Warm ointmentsApply if necessary up to 4 times a day.They help alleviate muscle spasm, painful in themselves, causing nervous tissue compression, blood vessels.Spasm occurs after a long static/dynamic load;
- Antispasmodic2 tablets are accepted up to twice a day, contribute to the removal of muscle spasm;
- CondoProtectors in Ointments or TabletsAllow to strengthen intervertebral discs, joint tissues, interrupt the progression of the pathological process.The ointment is applied up to 4 times/day, the tablets are taken 1-2 times/day;
- Vitamins B.Intramuscular injected 1 time in 1-2 days in individual doses.Allow you to improve the conductivity of nerve impulses, maintain a good condition of nervous tissue;
- Aine MasiThey have an additional analgesic effect, applied directly to the painful area 3 times/day.By themselves, local funds are not effectively capable.But effective as an additional method.

The comprehensive treatment is prescribed by a doctor, is supplemented with massage, physiotherapy and physical education of physiotherapy.

Yoga
Yoga has the same nominations, against -indications as exercise therapy.

Swimming
During swimming, the load is removed from the spine, muscle structure is strengthened and muscle work is normalized and blood circulation is improved.You cannot swim during periods of exacerbations.It is also important to adhere to certain styles that do not have a load in the lower back.This is a bath in the back shown at the beginning of the lesson, at the end of it, let go, like a dog.Rabbit style is not recommended as it provides a significant load in the muscle system.
Physiotherapy
How to treat pathology?A good additional method is physical therapy.
The following methods are used:
- Microwave;
- UHF;
- Magnetotherapy.
In the course of hypertonicity, muscle spasm is removed, the inflammatory process decreases, swelling decreases, blood circulation and microcirculation are normalized.Generally, 7-10 procedures are sufficient to obtain a stable positive effect.
Massage
Massage allows to alleviate muscle hypertonomy, strengthen muscle corset, such as exercise therapy, is prohibited to perform severe exacerbations of pathologies.
Perform light massage as follows:
- Rubbing with open palm trees on both sides of the spine;
- Pressing, accompanied by vibratory/circular movements - apply forces simultaneously with two fingers, symmetrically, at various points along the spinal column;
- The development of the deep layers of the muscles - press four fingers on the fabric on both sides of the spine, without reducing the pressure to advance the hands forward - from the sacred to the thoracic region.
Finish the complex also rubbing.
