Do you know that all
the information about your body is stored in the form of microscopic
structures called genes? In other words, genes are a blue print to
your whole body structure. They are the key information provider.
Diseases occur in your body due to some adverse chemical reactions
that happens in these genes. Under such situation, they start
destroying the cells. These degenerated cells in turn start
destroying the corresponding organ.
Now, this degeneration of cells due to
chemical reaction in genes has connection with back pain troubles as
well. The connection between the duo is debatable, however.
Back pain is the most common disease
that people suffer from today. It is generally associated with
sitting or standing in bad postures. But, several diseases also cause
pain in your back. Occurrence of most of these diseases can be
explained in connection to the hyper activities that occur in the
genes. Of all the diseases that have genetical roots, scoliosis is
the most common.
Scoliosis is the
abnormal curvature of the spinal cord. This gene-related disease
affects more females than males. The reason is that the chemical
substance responsible for it is more prominent in the female gene
structure. To correct this order, there are many treatments
available.
Spondylothesis is another disorder that
has been related to some kind of hyper activities occurring in the
genes. The worst part about this disease is that most of the people
who suffer from spondylothesis, do not even know that they are living
with it. There occurs a forward movement of the fifth lumbar
vertebra, as a result of which the spine loses its balance. The only
solution to cure this trouble is the surgical fixation of spinal
cord.
Adding another name to the list of back
pain causing genetical-disorders is Spina Bifida. Here your spinal
cord takes the shape of a fork. This is a type of disorder that
starts in the fetus itself giving it a shape of a birth defect. In
the mother’s womb, the genes deviate from their constructive
function and start destroying the protective bony arch that is
present over the spinal cord. This leaves the spinal cord
unprotected. This disorder can be corrected surgically. There is
another variant of Spina Bifida that causes back pain. It is known as
Spina Bifida Occulta, which is less fatal.
There are some other abnormalities too
that are a result of the genetical awry. For instance, presence of
four lumbar vertebra, one less than the normal, is a genetical
disorder.
