Back pain is a pain in the dorsal vertebrae.
Back pain can occur as a result of a sprained muscle or as a result of stretching or tearing of a ligament. Arthritis and osteoporosis can cause back pain. The sudden contraction (contracture) of a muscle may, in addition to being itself painful, cause spinal asymmetry.
To prevent back pain, one should maintain good posture and reduce pressure on the back using proper technique when lifting a weight. The exercise strengthens muscles. A period of warming is essential before performing a violent sport. Should be avoided to maintain the same position, sitting or standing too long. A small bench to lay a hand and foot to stand or sit a few minutes are effective solutions.
The application of cold on the sore area helps relieve the pain. If you feel the need to take a drug to relieve nausea, consult a pharmacist. Back pain usually lasts two or three weeks.
If back pain persists or is accompanied by unusual symptoms (numbness, fever), consult a doctor. By examination, the doctor can diagnose, among others, the presence of a herniated disc.
