Understanding And Managing Back Pain Loveland CO

By Christine Lewis


As the years go by, it is normal for human bodies to accrue various aches and pain, some of which stay with us for short times and others that stay forever. This is normal, and will showcase in a number of minor ways that cause steadily more obvious difficulty to people. One such difficulty is back pain Loveland CO, which here is a general term for a host of conditions that result in a person feeling regular pain in and around the lower back.

This condition is chiefly characterized by the feeling of a varying form of pain depending on the individual, in and around the lower back. This feeling differs from one person to the other and can occur as a consistent but dull ache, can occur as a piercing pain in certain areas, or discomfort felt only when certain body parts are flexed. It can also occur in places other than the lower back such as the arms, legs, chest, or internally.

The causes of this discomfort differ based on a person's natural physiological structure, eating habits, exercise regimen, and normal physical routines. One frequent area that responsible for causing pains are the muscles around the lower back. These muscles can cause trouble when they are overtly strained due to activities such as heavy lifting, persistent stress, awkward movements, or being stationary for long periods.

Other causes that have been found include herniated discs, spinal arthritis, spinal tumors, spinal stenosis, and vertebral fractures. These are of a more serious case, and in this situations informed medical solutions are best practiced. Simple rest is often recommended and can be effective in situations where the discomfort is only felt short term.

For the more minor cases, a simple cure for that is often prescribed is rest. Temporarily reducing the stress that a body is put under can be very effective at alleviating discomfort. During these periods the body is able to recover from the strain that caused it damage previously. It must however be noted that only some portion of this rest should be bedrest. Bedrest can be harmful when done for too long. Being stationary for long periods can often cause or even increase pains.

Another activity that can both be preventive and corrective is exercise. By exercising the body, you can build up your muscles enabling them to better handle stress. Certain exercises also flex and stretch the muscles in ways that can help ease pain.

Another simple way people have found to eliminate the discomfort is the more frequent use of backless chairs and standing desks. This is based on the observation that one of the causes of the problem is frequent sitting on chairs with backs which transfer much of the weight of the body onto the spine and reduces the load that should normally be carried by the abdominal muscles. Over time this leads to the deterioration of the abdominal muscles and the overstressing of the spine.

Despite the fact that the most likely people to experience this condition are those in their later years, it must be noted that people of all ages can suffer from it. The only real way to prevent this is by eating healthy, exercising regularly, managing strain and stress, and monitoring changes in the body.
