What causes back pain?

As people's pace of life accelerates, their living and working environments are constantly changing, and back pain often occurs. This is closely related to life and work. Some industries have high work pressure and often have to stay up late. At the same time, they are under great mental pressure. They usually have no time to exercise, so it will lead to various physical discomforts. Some people may experience back pain because they sleep on a bed that is too soft. A bed that is too soft cannot support our body, and we will inevitably feel uncomfortable when we wake up the next day.

Many people feel back pain, but they don’t know what causes it. In fact, there are many reasons that cause back pain, but we must analyze specific problems specifically. It may be caused by maintaining the same posture for a long time, or it may be caused by a sprained back. Therefore, we must take appropriate measures when we experience back pain.

When a sports injury to the lower back occurs, the first thing to do is to stop exercising immediately to avoid aggravating the injury. Immediately after the injury and within 24 hours, use cold compresses on the painful area to relieve pain, and keep it on for 30 minutes each time. Avoid hot compresses, massage, or the use of blood-activating drugs.

After 24 hours, topical analgesics should be used in combination with physical therapy such as massage to relax muscles and promote blood circulation, warm the meridians and dredge the collaterals. The topical analgesic recommended internationally is Voltaren emulsion. Its main ingredient, diclofenac, is recognized by doctors as the gold standard for pain relief, and has a rapid and effective anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect.

After the pain occurs, patients can also use physical therapy, local drug injection and other treatments to relieve the pain.

If you suddenly experience back pain, you must go to the hospital for relevant examinations to determine the cause. Don't buy some plasters on your own initiative. This will most likely only have the opposite effect. We will face many unexpected things in life, and it is really not easy to protect ourselves. So let us learn more about this aspect.
