Muscle pain and radiating back pain are ailments that many people face. Problems are not only caused by congenital conditions or injuries, but are often also due to an unhealthy lifestyle. More and more often, we spend our days sitting motionless, aggravating back curvatures. Subsequently, pain can also translate to other parts of the body - the head, joints, individual nerves. It is useful to know ways to deal with back pain. Physiotherapy and regular exercise on your own at home will help.
Back pain - popular treatments
There are now many methods of treating joint pain and muscle pain. The most popular treatments performed in physiotherapy and rehabilitation clinics include thermotherapy, manual technique, therapeutic massage, kinesitherapy and alternative medicine techniques such as acupressure and acupuncture. For acute and chronic back pain, the doctor may prescribe pharmacotherapy after a consultation visit. However, regular work in the physiotherapy office is essential to achieve lasting results. If long-term therapy does not work and the pain is due to serious conditions, surgery may be recommended to the patient. This usually includes treatment of scoliosis, discopathy, arthritis and some injuries.
Manual therapy
Manual therapy for spinal pain aims to restore the vertebrae and discs to their proper place. During the treatment, the physiotherapist applies pressure and massages the tissues lying around the spine, manipulating the movement of the joints. By warming up the tissues, kneading and stretching the painful areas at different angles, the therapist unblocks the tense muscle and then the joint. This is an effective technique recommended for back pain, spinal degeneration and curvature, and for fatigue.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a method that has been used for centuries for pain of various origins, including muscle and joint pain. In it, the therapist uses pricking the body with thin needles. Acupuncture relaxes the muscles and eliminates their spasm. By pricking specific points, the therapist hits the tense centres and resolves the pain. The method uses the body's natural self-repair mechanisms and leads to an effective reduction of pain.
Back pain - prevention
People who suffer from back pain should, where possible, incorporate healthy habits into their daily activities that will strengthen specific muscle groups without putting strain on the back. Swimming works perfectly. It is worth attending a swimming pool or dedicated classes at least once a week. They will help to relax skeletal muscle tension, relieve strain on the musculoskeletal system and reduce joint pain. Hydrostatic pressure strengthens the respiratory system and cardiovascular function. Those with greater mobility can also benefit from working with a personal trainer at the gym, who will select appropriate exercises for the spine. At work, it is worth trying to sit dynamically - changing positions frequently and keeping a straight back. It is worth taking a break of a few minutes every hour to relax your muscles.
