What is Back Pain?

Back pain is one of the most haunting disease conditions nowadays globally. 

Before describing the different Ayurveda treatment procedures for back pain in Kerala, let’s have a look at what is bach pain or backache.

Mild or severe pain felt over the back of the body, starting from base of neck to lower end of back is often called back pain.

Although pain anywhere in the back is known as back pain, usually it is connected to the vertebral column or the attached muscles.

  • It may be a dull ache or a strain like feeling.
  • Some times feels very stiff with catching pain.
  • Sometimes excruciating or unbearable pain may be felt according to the type of problem.

What are the Different types of back pain?

According to the area of pain, we can classify back pain into two.

  • Upper and Middle Back Pain
  • Lower Back Pain

.According to the onset of pain, back pain is again classified into two

  • Acute  Back Pain
  • Chronic Back Pain
Types of Back Pain

Upper and Middle Back Pain

The pain felt over the back from below the base of the neck to the middle of the shoulder plate is upper back pain.

The pain felt below that part till the last rib cage bones meet the spine part or backside of the upper belly is the middle back pain.

This part of the spine is known as the thoracic spine it has 12 vertebrae.

So in this type of back pain, the most affected part is the thoracic spine and associated structures.

Lower Back Pain

It is the pain felt just below the thoracic area, from the backside of the upper belly to lower part of the back.

The problems affecting the lumbar spine and associated structures are the main reasons for lower back pain.

The pain sometimes radiates  to hip, sacroiliac joints and also to legs

Generally speaking low back pain is the mild to severe pain that felt in the lower lumbar and sacral spines

Saatwika Ayurveda Treatment Centre has the best Ayurvedic treatment for lower back pain in the Trivandrum centre, Kerala.

Acute Back Pain

Acute pain occurs suddenly due to injury, damage, sprain etc And lasts for a few days to a few weeks.

If the cause is not so strong then heals naturally by the body.

Pain last as long as the healing process continues.

Chronic Back Pain

Chronic back pain develops gradually and remains for months to years if remained untreated.

It  usually requires proper medical treatments to get corrected joints and also to legs

Thorough medical check-up, observation and treatment needed in this case.

Another prominent classification of low back pain are

  1. Mechanical pain

  2. Radicular pain

          Mechanical pain is due to mechanical injuries of spines, joints, ligaments etc. This tends to restrict the movements of the spine.

Radicular pain is due to compression of nerves or injuries to spinal nerves.  The pain is mostly radiating and usually follows a dermatome. Burning type of pain is the characteristic of this type.

If you are facing any of these symptoms, then consult with our doctor and get your treatment package for Ayurvedic treatment for back pain in Kerala.

Importance of lifestyle modification in Back Pain Treatment

We’ve all experienced lower back pain at some stage in our lives. But that doesn’t mean you should ignore the pain or prevent it in the future.

Back pain might be a symptom; this is your body’s way of informing you that your posture is incorrect and that you should make some ergonomic adjustments. In terms of your personal space, it indicates you’ve made some good lifestyle changes to keep that niggling pain at bay.

Lifestyle modification is a broad term that can refer to any changes in behavior or habits. When it comes to treating back pain, several lifestyle modifications can be made to help ease symptoms and promote healing. 

If back pain has become a way of life, make the following adjustments right away:

  • Maintain an active lifestyle and set aside a couple of hours per week for routine exercise to keep the back muscles fit and flexible.
  • Stop smoking
  • Make sure you get enough sleep.
  • Avoid sitting for extended periods.
  • Maintain a healthy weight by eating carefully.
  • Maintain proper stance
  • Avoid jerking your knees.
  • Do not bend and lift at the exact moment.
  • Limit your use of high heels daily.
  • When it’s time to sleep, consider sleeping on your back.
  • When sleeping, avoid using a cushion.
  • Improve pelvic floor strength – Pilates is an excellent exercise technique targeting many underutilized pelvic muscles.
  • Practice good posture
  • Wear comfortable shoes with good arch support. 
  • Avoid twisting your back in awkward positions
  • Stress management techniques such as meditation and yoga may also help reduce symptoms of back pain

Diet

The diet should consist of anti-inflammatory, muscle, and bone-strengthening foods such as turmeric milk, fish oils containing omega-3 fatty acids, flax seeds, calcium, and vitamin D-rich foods.

Sleep

Getting healthy enough, restorative sleep is essential for coping with back pain. However, back pain makes it challenging to sleep well. Despite the pain, you can do a few things to increase your odds of progressing into restorative sleep.

  • Purchase a new mattress: A old and saggy mattress, or merely too firm or soft, can aggravate back pain. It is critical to achieving quality sleep by sleeping on a mattress that provides the appropriate support and comfort. Adjustable beds should also be considered; many people suffering from lower back or neck pain find sleeping in a slightly reclining posture more comfortable.
  • Loosen back muscles before bedtime: Stretch out painful areas before bed: Stretch out painful areas before bed may help release muscular tension. Local heat treatment, such as a heating pad, aids in stretching and relieving soft tissues around the spine. These two easy actions alleviate enough discomfort to allow you to sleep.
  • Use relaxation techniques: Mindful meditation, for example, has decreased pain perception and may provide enough relief to enable you to fall asleep. Other relaxing bedtime rituals, such as peaceful visualization or focused breathing, may help to divert attention away from the back discomfort and create a more comfortable atmosphere.
  • Try a different sleeping position: Sleeping on one’s side, curled into a fetal posture, with a pillow between the legs, may aid in spinal alignment and pressure relief. Sleeping on your back, with your knees slightly elevated by a pillow and another flat pillow tucked under your head, may encourage spinal alignment and decrease pressure on pressure points. As previously stated, sleeping on the back with the upper body reclined and the legs slightly bent lowers stress across the lower back.

Proper Rest

Rest may not always be beneficial for you; it depends on your condition, as bed rest is recommended only if you experience loss of bowel or bladder control, weakness, etc.

At any point in therapy, prolonged bed rest is not beneficial for moderate back strain. While your back may feel better soon, spending too much time in bed can lead to other issues. Muscles lose conditioning and tone, you may experience digestive problems such as constipation, and you are at risk of getting blood clots in your pelvic and thigh veins. And being confined to bed for an extended period does nothing for your mental health or well-being. People confined to bed are more likely to experience depression, as well as an increased feeling of physical weakness and malaise.

Exercise

Exercising and fitness activities help to keep the back healthy by enabling discs to exchange fluids, which is how the disc receives nutrition. A healthy disc will expand with water and squeeze it out like a sponge. The sponge motion transports nutrients to the disc.

Furthermore, fluid exchange aids in the reduction of swelling in the other soft tissues that naturally develop around injured discs. Swelling rises with a shortage of exercise, and discs become malnourished and degenerated.

  • Exercise you can try to strengthen your back.
  • Hamstring stretch
  • Partial crunches
  • Bird dog
  • Knee to chest
  • Bridging
  • Aerobic exercise
  • Pilates

It is important to note that lifestyle modifications may not completely eliminate back pain, especially in chronic or severe pain. In these instances, medical treatment may be necessary. Overall, lifestyle modifications are a complementary approach to treating back pain, alongside any medical treatments prescribed by your doctor.
