With an increasing age
the strength of the bones in our body and the elasticity of the
muscles present in our entire body start decreasing. In other words
we can say that the body faces wear and tear just similar to the
machines. As the machines go old they tend to face wear and tear in
their parts. The same phenomena occur in our body.
Chronic back pain occurs when we lift
some heavy material or indulge ourself into such other physical
activities. Other reasons for chronic back pain are over stretching
of the muscles in our back, that often cause sprain, spasm in the
muscles and different ligaments present in our back. A disc rupture
may occur in our back if the intensity of the sprain or spasm is
more. There are more than 50 nerves present in our back and such
excessive sprain or spasm can lead to excessive pressure over one
them due to the rupture.
These nerves are
connected to the spinal chord and they work as a messenger to the
brain and these nerves help in the body movement. These nerves send
signals to the brain and thus the brain sends the signal to the body
parts to move or perform any activity in a particular direction or
position.
Chronic back pain is a result of the
compression of one of these nerves.
The other reasons for chronic back pain
are:
1.obesity
2.smoking
3.gaining of weight due to pregnancy
4.stress
5.physical inability
6.sudden awkward movement while
performing any activity
7.bad sleeping posture
Some times chronic back pain becomes
hell for the sports persons. Due to a continuous injury on a
particular area of the back the tissue rupture gets worsen and the
pain in the back increases day by day. Chronic back pain should not
be taken lightly and a doctor should be consulted as soon as
possible.
