Lower Back Pain / Back Pain Treatment in West Delhi

Overview

The human spine manifests a complex form of a pricey architectural build-up, composed of bones (vertebrae), disks, nerves, muscles, and ligaments. These parts work richly in connection to give and support mobility and stability. When redundancy, injury, or degeneration of any part occurs, it causes back pain.

Particularly for lower back pain, more than the lumbar spine rests upon, it is significantly stressed while flexing, lifting, carrying, or turning. Mild and infrequent pains may be severe pains that can persist and radiate to the hips, buttocks, and/or legs.

Broadly speaking, back pain can be classified as follows:-

• Acute pain - This is often observed as a new problem that lasts for a few days to a few weeks. It usually follows some sort of straining or injury.
• Subacute pain - it usually lasts for 4 to 12 weeks.
• As for the chronic pain, it continues longer than 12 weeks and requires specialized care at a pain management clinic.

Causes of Back Pain

There can be a dozen different causes/triggers for backaches. Identifying the underlying precipitating factor becomes necessary for effective treatment. The following are some common factors:-

• Strained muscle or ligament - Sudden awkward movements, heavy lifting, or bad posture might lead to straining muscles or ligaments in the back.
• Degenerative disk disease - Age-related wear and tear reduces compressibility between vertebrae.
• Herniated or bulging disk - of a soft inner core spinal disk presses on nearby nerves, causing intense pain.
• Sciatica - is characterized by shooting pain in the leg, which may occur due to compression or even irritation of the sciatic nerve, usually caused by disc problems.
• Spinal Stenosis - spinal canal narrowing exposes pressure on nerves.
• Arthritis - This involves the osteoarthritis of the spine, forming bony spurs leading to rigidity.
• Poor Posture & Sedentary Life - Long sitting hours without ergonomic support weaken spinal muscles.
• Trauma or Injury - Falls, accidents, or sports injuries.
• Medical Conditions - Osteoporosis, infections, or tumors can also cause back pain, but this is one of the least common problems.

Symptoms

A particular quality of back pain often lends additional information regarding its cause that may include:-

• A low, dull aching pain, pinpointed in the lower part of the back
• Sharp stabbing pain when moving the body or lifting up
• Pain that influences other parts, such as the hips, buttocks, or legs
• Stiffness and decreased flexibility in joints
• Muscle spasms or tightness
• Numbness, tingling, or weakness of the legs (suggesting nerves are involved)
• Trouble with straightening up, walking, or sitting for extended periods
• Such persistent symptoms should be understood in relation to leg weakness, weight loss, some fever component, and disturbance of bladder/bowel function and would require prompt assessment.
