Let's start with the following question: Can there be a
pain in the back of a perfectly healthy person? There is not a degenerative disc disease, or generally any disease.
Yes. While the sources of pain he will have the same structure as that of people with osteochondrosis. Indeed, if you have osteochondrosis, the difference in the fact that little has changed two or three discs in the lumbar region.
Draw a simple experiment. Take the three subjects. First - perfectly healthy young man. Second - forty people from the first stage of lumbar degenerative disc disease. And the third - a citizen of forty-five years, having the second stage of lumbar degenerative disc disease. All present people of average physical development. No one has any deviations in the structure of the spine, not counting changes associated with osteochondrosis. Furthermore, no one in the past three months, no significant pain anywhere and with anything related not experienced. In general, quite healthy people.
Give them a simple task: to sit down with the back straight on a stool, a little filing a case forward, and sit without moving, until the first discomfort in the lumbar region. There was pain - raise your hand.
Do you think all those present whether the experiment will be pain? Yes, all. Because, really, whatever the
healthy spine, keep it in a certain position has the back muscles. Better with its task of stabilizing handle intervertebral disc and spinal joints, the lower the load goes to the muscles. I.naoborot, the height of the disk is lost, shattered joints. Muscles have to assume increased obligations to maintain the optimal spatial interposition of one vertebra in relation to the adjacent during the movement and at rest.
If not for a long time to change position, pain in the muscles will anyway, whatever the
strong spine. Pain and will appear in a young man who has degenerative disc disease, but much later than that of his comrades who have changed and discs, and joints. So first hand raise the subject with the second stage, then - with the first, but in the end - a young man. In this and all the salt - and the pain will have that, who do not have degenerative disc disease - but much later.
If we carry out another experiment, putting in a relatively disadvantageous conditions of the cervical spine of a healthy person and two others, with the first and second stage of osteochondrosis of the cervical spine, the result will be the same. Let's make the subjects perform the same action. And again the most resilient of all be a young man. Obviously the advantage of people without spinal osteochondrosis before having it changed. Of course, you can have a powerful muscular corset, which will override all the negative influence exerted by changes of the spine to the muscles. But most people, alas, do not have the muscles.
If each of the subjects we are asked to describe the nature of the pain appeared, the descriptions are similar. Moreover, all the
pain decreased and even disappeared altogether after the change of body position. Hence, the reasons that caused the pain, the same.
What are those reasons? Fixed posture. The source of pain while the muscles are. In any case, the young man's pain is purely muscular. Others may be more complex.
Muscle pain, which appeared in response to a prolonged stay in one position, quickly disappears when
changing posture, physical exercises, sports games. If we are certainly not talking about the trauma or inflammation of the muscles. While the pain emanating from the points of attachment of the tendon to the periosteum, will be present and on the move. Because muscle contraction, although alternately - all the same reduction. Straining, muscle transfers its tension tendons, and tendon - the periosteum. Tension periostitis gives pain. So many people with osteochondrosis is almost constant feeling of pain during movements in a particular region of the spine. Although this pain behind the intensity of pain when sitting or standing, as in fixed positions is present and the pain of muscle tension.
