To As is known, there is no precise definition of the causes and symptoms of the disease, since medical specialists have not yet come to a common opinion.
In modern medical practice, the state of pinching of the nerve in the lower back is explained by squeezing the nerve branches leaving the spinal cord, which is caused by the narrowing of the interdisk space as a result of protrusion, hernias, or an overabundance of spasms.
Characterized by acute "vomiting" pain( lumbago) in the lower back of the lumbago occurs in men over 30 years of age, engaged in heavy daily physical activity, which provokes overheating followed by severe hypothermia.
Most often, this condition can be confused with radiculitis.
Symptoms of pinching of the nerve in the back
Pincering of the nerve is manifested by pain sensations, and in some cases, - numbness of muscles and disruption of the work of adjacent internal organs.
Depending on the localization of the pain syndrome, due to the jamming of the motor, sensory or autonomic nerve, the following conditions are distinguished:
- of the isalgia - pain in the sacrum, passing to the area of the gluteus muscle and the posterior surface of the foot;
- lumbagia - pain in the lower back and back;
- lumboishalgia - lumbar pain with the transition to the back surface of the foot;
- cervicalgia, cervic brachialgia - pain in the arm and in the neck.
Special attention deserves sciatica, in which the pain is accompanied by a burning sensation, tingling in the lumbar region, passing to the back surface of the lower limb.
This condition is characterized by a significant weakening of the muscles, due to decreased mobility of the leg. Usually, painful sensations are localized in the leg and can grow with laughter and coughing( sneezing).
The causes of the appearance of characteristic pain when pinching
The most frequent form of manifestation of pain in the lumbar spine is a pinch of the sciatic nerve.
Prone to fullness and obese, it is necessary to understand that pinch of the sciatic nerve is the result of their excess weight.
Accordingly, the complex of treatment procedures includes measures to eliminate excess weight, the nutrition is adjusted, phytotherapeutic procedures and acupuncture are carried out.
Diagnosis and treatment of pain in nasal congestion in the back of the
Certainly, the diagnosis of "pinching of the nerve" in the lower back is clear, because of the presence of characteristic symptoms.
Meanwhile, this is not enough to take therapeutic measures.
Adequate medical treatment is possible if the cause of infringement of the nerve root is revealed( for example, osteochondrosis changes, tumors, trauma and scars).
The first stage of diagnosis is radiographic examination of the spine.
Additionally, the cause of pinching of nerves can be established with the help of MRI diagnostics or computed tomography, as well as X-ray examination using a contrast medium( myelography).
As a medicine, the doctor prescribes:
- injectable - nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs( voltaren or ibuprofen), as well as analgesic novocaine blockades in the nerve exit points( the most painful points);
- topical - external agents( ointments, creams and gels).
In the acute period of the disease, the patient is shown a strict bed rest in the "lying on the back" posture. In addition, it is recommended diet food, with the exception of the diet of sharp, salty foods, smoked products, as well as cooked on strong broth dishes, which can cause an exacerbation of the disease.
After the onset of a secondary period of remission, the patient may be given sessions of massage and therapeutic and prophylactic physical exercises, and reflexotherapy and physiotherapy( electrophoresis with pain medication, UHF) help to remove the residual symptoms of the pain syndrome. An extremely desirable activity is the referral of a patient to a sanatorium-and-spa treatment.
Independent exercise and active lifestyle helps to relieve daytime workload of one and the same muscular ligaments in the lumbar spine.
Complete absence of treatment of jamming of the nerve branches in the lumbar spine leads to neuropathic changes, characterized by severe damage to the spinal nerves. The final "stop" of neuropathy in the lower back is a temporary paralysis of the lower extremities.
Over time, the damaged nerves are restored, so mobility returns to the limbs, but this can take years.
