The cause of back pain?

Back pain is a common situation in our life. Many people around us will have low back pain, so do you know what is the cause of low back pain? The following are some I have compiled for your reference.

Cervical spondylosis occurs in cervical vertebra, how can it cause backache? As we all know, the posterior branches of the spinal nerves of the fourth, fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae extend to the back and dominate the facial muscles of the upper back.

When the cervical spine has degenerative changes, if the posterior branches of the spinal nerves of the fourth, fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae are pulled, it will lead to low back pain. In fact, neck and back pain, weakness of upper limbs, numbness of fingers, dizziness, nausea and even blurred vision and dysphagia are all symptoms of cervical spondylosis.

Because our cervical spine movement is not correct, or our posture is not correct when sleeping, it will cause back muscle strain, which will lead to back pain.

Small methods for back pain

Nowadays, not only the elderly will have symptoms of backache, but also many working people will often have this discomfort. In order to alleviate this discomfort, ginger soup can be used for hot compress.

Some old people often have backache, but they can't find the reason. Actually, it's because the mattress is too soft

When sleeping, if the spine is not properly supported by the mattress and is in an inappropriate bending state all night, sleeping like this for a long time will definitely hurt your back.

Therefore, if the mattress is really soft, you can put a layer of bamboo mat on it to increase the hardness, or simply replace it with a flat bed.

Old people who love tea can use wormwood jujube soup instead of tea. This soup is characterized by "activating qi and blood", because Chinese medicine believes that only qi and blood can cause pain, so you can often eat this soup to activate qi and blood and relieve pain.

When making this soup, wormwood will go to the Chinese pharmacy to buy it. Add water and cook the red dates together, then cook for 20 minutes with low fire, and then filter the residue as a drink.

It should be noted that wormwood is warm, and the red dates added together must be cut and pitted, otherwise they will get angry after drinking. In addition, if you find the soup bitter, you can also add some brown sugar to taste.

Generally, abstinence from alcohol for three days and three months is very helpful to improve low back pain.

If you want to relieve the pain quickly, hot compress with ginger soup is the best. Mash a large piece of ginger, boil it, then cool it to 50 degrees Celsius, soak it with a towel while it is hot, wring it out, and apply it alternately on the sore spot for 30 minutes.

It can relax local muscles, dilate blood vessels, diminish inflammation, reduce swelling and relieve pain.

In addition, bathing or showering is also a practical way to improve low back pain.

If you feel backache, you'd better exercise in time. Whether it is the elderly or office workers, doing more exercise at ordinary times is the best way to relieve and prevent back pain. In addition, some small remedies can be used to alleviate it.
