The Truth on Back Pain


Back pain is commonly felt but no one can be blamed for it. It is difficult to figure out and far more difficult to describe.

Confusion often arises during diagnosis and patients almost always fail to understand what exactly is hurting and what causes the pain.

In this article we will try to resolve some of the most common confusions that often arise as myths.

Contrary to what is popularly believed back pain is seldom related with the spinal chord.

Nor does the spinal chord causes any back problems, unless damage is made directly on the spinal cord.

This is when paralysis occurs.

Otherwise, the chord has nothing to do with frequent back pain rather, the problem may be associated with nerve roots.

The spinal chord ends at the lumbar 1(L1).

The spinal column is divided into several sections, the lumbar section comprise the lower back where weight is generally concentrated.

Additionally, it is in the lumbar where nerve roots may be located, impairment or any condition that may lead to such is the proponent to pain but never the spinal chord.

In any case, paralysis due to back pain is often impossible.

Back pain is believed to be a seldom case among individuals. In opposition, back pain afflicts around 80% of all people some time in their lives. Nobody escapes from this reality, it seems that back pain is a normal part of any stage of life.

It will most likely appear during old age but there are people who have been suffering over the pain since time immemorial.

It is also known to be the second, if not the primary reason why people visit care clinics and stands third for the most frequent reason why people get surgical procedures and fifth for having hospitalized.

Moreover, there is no general rule as to who will be affected with back pain.

It doesn't imply that I you are healthy and do exercise regularly that you may not be susceptible with this form of ailment.

In effect, people experience episodes of back pain regardless of the activity they engage into.

Having back doesn't mean that there is an ongoing damage or degeneration on the lower back. U

nlike with acute pain where the level of pain may be associated with the degree of damage on the affected part, chronic back pain doesn't normally correlate with the level of damage.
