There could be
multiple reasons causing that intense pain in your back. Most of the
back pain reasons are quite common among all the sufferers. Only
certain causes are not heard of and are thus exclusive to some of the
sufferers. One such not-heard-of and exclusive reason for back pain
is the acid reflux action taking place in your body.
Yes, a faulty stomach can result into
acute back pain.
How? There are produced certain
digestive acids in the stomach that aid in the process of digestion.
These acids are meant to stay in the stomach and perform their
action. But at times when the valve, which prevents these acids from
flowing out the organ fails to perform its function, these acids come
out and create havoc in the other body organs. Acid reflux is a
similar phenomenon. Simply it can be descried as a process wherein
the digestive acids climb up the esophagus and if uncontrolled,
eventually come up to the mouth. As these acids reach the other body
parts, they produce more harmful substances in the body parts that in
turn generates pain.
Actually the pain
that is generated is not exclusive to the back alone but to the whole
body. But as the production of the acid increases, the severity of
the pain increases furthermore and some portion of this pain is
radiated to the back that comes out in the form of back pain. This
back pain generally starts from the lower back and eventually climbs
the middle and the upper back. The symptoms of back pain due to the
acid reflux start from low to moderate pain to acute pangs which
becomes unbearable at times.
Another important thing to note here is
that it is not the direct action of the digestive acids that causes
pain in the back but actually the side effects caused by the acids.
Moreover, there are certain foodstuffs that produce certain acids
that lead to the process of acid reflux. Therefore if you are
suffering from an ambiguous reason of back pain, you can talk to your
doctor about the possibility of an acid reflux phenomenon taking
place in your body.
Taking guidelines from a doctor is the
best way to treat your back pain. You can depend on various
allopathic medications to cure this state. Moving on to the natural
treatments, yoga has considerable positive effects on back pain due
to acid reflux. Besides, one of the natural ways by which you can
prevent the action of acid in giving you back pain is by sleeping
with your head and the upper torso elevated. With the action of the
gravity the acid that is about to climb up the esophagus is brought
back into the stomach.
All in all, back pain is not a very
difficult disorder to treat. All you need is awareness and a good
advice.
