5 WAYS TO EASE LOWER BACK PAIN 5 Ways To Ease Lower Back Pain Most lower back pain is the result of an injury, such as muscle sprains or strains due to sudden movements or poor body mechanics while lifting heavy objects. But lower back pain can also be caused by certain diseases, such as cancer of the spinal cord, ruptured or herniated disc, sciatica, arthritis, kidney infections or infections of the spine. Acute back pain can last anywhere

from a few days to a few weeks, while chronic back pain is pain that lasts longer than three months. Lower back pain is more likely to occur in individuals between the ages of 30 and 50. This is partly due to the changes that occur in the body with aging. As you grow older, the fluid content between the vertebrae in the spine becomes reduced, which means discs in the spine are more easily irritated. Some muscle tone is also lost, which makes the back more prone to injury. This is why strengthening your back muscles and using good body mechanics and exercises are

Sometimes the weakening of a disc can put pressure on its jelly-like center, as similar to a bubble forming on your car’s tire. You hit a bump in the road, then all of a sudden that tire goes pop. In the case of your back, that pressure can lead to a herniated disc (also called a “slipped disc” or “ruptured disc”), in which the center of the disc bulges. Sometimes that bulging causes the material from inside the disc to press on the sensitive nerves that carry messages to the brain. The result can be the kind of excruciating pain. A herniated disc in the lower back can put pressure on the nerve that

PINCHED NERVE IN LOWER BACK Pinched Nerve in Lower Back A pinched nerve can be extremely painful and can cause impaired function when the nerve is under so much pressure that its ability to carry signals is hindered. Pinching or compression (pressure) often affects nerve roots in the spine that control muscle movements and relay sensations of feeling throughout the body. Nerves are extensions from the brain that branch out into the arms or legs to reach the muscles or skin. A nerve cell is microscopic in size, and a nerve fiber may run several feet in length toward its destination. A nerve that lives in the brain or within the spinal cord is called a central nerve and nerves that leave the spine to go into the arms or legs are called peripheral nerves. These peripheral nerves are actually bundles of millions of nerve fibers that leave the spinal cord and branch out to their target muscles to make them move. These nerve fibers also go to the skin to provide feeling. They send important messages throughout your body. If you have a pinched nerve (nerve compression) your body may send you warning signals such as pain. Don’t ignore these warning signals. Damage from a pinched nerve may be minor or severe. It may cause temporary or long-lasting problems. The earlier you get a diagnosis and treatment for nerve compression, the more quickly you’ll find relief, but in some cases you can’t reverse the damage from a pinched nerve. Treatment will usually relieve pain and other symptoms that comes with a pinched nerve. Symptoms of Pinched Nerves Nerves are most vulnerable at places in your body where they travel through narrow spaces but have little soft tissue to protect them. Nerve compression often occurs when the nerve is pressed between tissues such as: Ligament Tendon Bone For example, inflammation or pressure on a nerve root exiting the spine may cause neck or low back pain. It may also cause pain to radiate from the neck into the shoulder and arm (cervical radiculopathy). Or pain may radiate into the leg and foot (sciatic nerve pain). These symptoms may result from changes that develop in the spine’s discs and bones. For example, if a disc weakens or tears — known as a herniated disc — pressure gets put on a spinal nerve and can cause severe pain. When a nerve gets pinched, the flow up and down the inside of the nerve is reduced or blocked, and the nutrients stop flowing. Eventually, the nerve membrane starts to lose its ability to transmit its electrical impulses and the nerve fiber may eventually die. When enough fibers stop working, the skin may feel numb, or a muscle may not contract. With nerve compression (pressure) pain may be your only symptom or you may have other symptoms without pain. The more common symptoms of a pinched nerve may include tingling, numbness, “Pins and needles” a burning sensation or shooting pains down the buttocks and legs or in the neck, shoulders, arms and fingers. Sometimes, the pains and sensations originating from a pinched nerve are distant from the point of pressure. For instance, a pinched nerve in the lower back may show pain in the calf as its only symptom. When there is nerve damage from constant pressure, pain and muscle weakness may increase. There may be a loss of reflexes, movement skills and sensation in the affected area, as well as withering (atrophy) of the affected muscles. The weakness can occur especially during certain activities and symptoms may even worsen when you try certain movements, such as turning your head or even straining your neck. If nerve compression lasts a long time, a protective barrier around the nerve may break down. Fluid may build up, which may cause Swelling, Extra pressure and Scarring. The scarring may interfere with the nerve’s function. Treatment for a Pinched Nerve If you think you are showing signs of a pinched nerve or have already been diagnosed with a pinched nerve in the neck or back and your tired of living with pain and discomfort. We suggest trying Doctors Pain Relief Systems. With it’s three main components, aerobic conditioning, stretching and strengthening. These exercises are the best to help relief the common causes of back pain. It’s a controlled, progressive program, with the goal of building towards a stronger, more flexible spine. It’s effective and helps relief back pain caused by the common causes of back pain, like disease or injury to the muscles, bones, and/or nerves of the spine. Our pinched nerve treatment is effective, adapts with your pain and is always backed by our 60 day money back guarantee. Treatment may vary depending on the severity and cause of the nerve compression. You may find that you benefit greatly from simply resting the injured area and by avoiding any activities that tend to worsen your symptoms. In many cases, that’s all you need to do but you still want to apply the right exercises to help strengthen the muscles and spine to prevent future injury and to also help control our back pain. If symptoms persist or pain is severe, see your doctor. You may need one or more types of treatment to shrink swollen tissue around the nerve. In more severe cases, it may be necessary to remove material that’s pressing on a nerve, such as Scar tissue, Disc material and Pieces of bone. Be sure to speak with your doctor about your systems and work with your doctor to find the best approach for treating your symptoms. Avoiding A Pinched Nerve Is it possible, maybe. Just don’t wear out your body too early and lead a life sheltered from turning, twisting and lifting. There really isn’t much you can do to protect yourself from this condition. It’s simply going to happen to some people. Even though many people associate a pinched nerve with the neck or shoulder, it can happen anywhere. In the wrist, it might be a cause of carpal tunnel syndrome. In the elbow, it might be a by-product of tennis elbow, and in the lower back, it could be sciatica. But the good news is that, in the vast majority of people, the condition improves or goes away with rest and over-thecounter pain medications and even just by applying the right physical therapy. In very mild cases, the problem goes away within a few minutes. In severe cases, surgery may be the only solution. Our tip is to stay active, maintain a healthy diet and be careful and try not to lift heavy equipment or over working yourself to death. Even over doing your workouts can cause you lower back problems and one of the main causes is bad posture. We have many great articles to help give you the knowledge about common causes of back pain and what you can do to help relieve pain and prevent future injuries. PINCHED NERVES
REFERRED BACK PAIN – CAUSES & FACTS Referred Back Pain – Causes & Facts Sometimes back pain is not strictly related to spinal structures, back pain comes from other places, specifically internal organs. In a process called referred pain, internal organs can send pain signals to other parts of the body. For example, when someone is experiencing a heart attack, the left arm may ache. Nothing is wrong with the arm but this limb hurts because the heart is referring pain to it. The neck, mid-back and lower back are also potential targets for referred back pain. The pancreas may refer pain to the back and here are two examples when “back pain” has nothing to do with spinal problems. The Gallbladder The gallbladder isn’t an organ that gets a lot of attention, unless it’s causing you pain. The gallbladder is a little sac that stores bile from the liver, and it’s found just beneath your liver. The gallbladder releases bile, via the cystic duct, into the small intestine to help break down the foods you eat — particularly fatty foods. The gallbladder is connected to the liver via ducts that supply bile to the gallbladder for storage. These bile ducts then form the common hepatic duct that joins with the cystic duct from the gallbladder to form the common bile duct that empties into the GI tract (duodenum). In addition, the pancreatic duct usually merges with the common bile duct just before it enters the duodenum. Hormones trigger the gallbladder to release bile when fat and amino acids reach the duodenum after eating a meal which facilitates the digestion of these foods. Within this internal organ problems can arise like a blockage from a stone, an infection or just an inflamed gallbladder attack. Sometimes the symptoms clearly point to a problem with the gallbladder. These classic symptoms include right upper quadrant abdominal pain just underneath the right chest wall, nausea, gas and pain with a deep breath. Many times these classic symptoms occur at night or just after a meal. At first you may think that the problem is just indigestion until the symptoms progress. However, sometimes the symptoms are a little more elusive and gives a murky picture of vague discomfort and pain. Referred gallbladder pain can be especially tricky because it is felt in the mid-back, right shoulder and between the shoulder blades. Because these symptoms are especially common in women, all women with pain in these areas should have the gallbladder evaluated and should also consider some dietary restrictions to prevent gallbladder attacks. Oftentimes, referred pain from a sick gallbladder will rear its ugly head as a serious problem requiring surgery. This scenario can be prevented if the patient and doctor have earlier suspicions of a potential gallbladder disease. Gallbladder pain is an all-inclusive term used to describe any pain due to disease related to the gallbladder. The major gallbladder problems that produce gallbladder pain are biliary colic, cholecystitis, gallstones, pancreatitis and ascending cholangitis. There are two major causes of pain that either originate from the gallbladder or involve the gallbladder directly. They intermittent or complete blockage of any of the ducts by gallstones or gallstone sludge and/or inflammation that may accompany irritation or infection of the surrounding tissues, when partial or complete obstruction of ducts causes pressure and ischemia (inadequate blood supply due to a blockage of blood vessels in the area) to develop in the adjacent tissues. Gallstones usually form in the gallbladder, but may form in any of the ducts. When the gallbladder is compressed (squeezed by musculature), bile usually goes out through the ducts into the GI tract however, if gallstones or gallstone sludge is present, there can be partial or complete blockage of the ducts with pressure on the surrounding tissue, sometimes enough to cause local ischemia. Other processes such as trauma can cause gallbladder pain. Infection of the biliary ducts and the gallbladder, usually occurring after gallstone obstruction also can cause pain. Specific symptoms may vary based on what type of gallbladder condition you have, although many symptoms are common among the different types of gallbladder problems. But most gallbladder symptoms start with pain in the upper abdominal area, either in the upper right or middle. Below are common symptoms of gallbladder conditions: Severe abdominal pain Pain that may extend beneath the right shoulder blade or to the back Pain that worsens after eating a meal, particularly fatty or greasy foods Pain that feels dull, sharp, or crampy Pain that increases when you breathe in deeply Chest pain Heartburn, indigestion, and excessive gas A feeling of fullness in the abdomen Vomiting, nausea, fever Shaking with chills Tenderness in the abdomen, particularly the right upper quadrant Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes) Stools of an unusual color (often lighter, like clay) Some gallbladder problems, like simple gallstones that are not blocking the cystic duct, often cause no symptoms at all. They’re most often discovered during an X-ray to diagnose another condition, or even during an abdominal surgery. The gallbladder doesn’t seem like such a big deal until it’s causing you severe pain. If you spot the symptoms of gallbladder trouble, head to your doctor for a diagnosis and prompt treatment to get your digestive tract running smoothly again. The Bladder The bladder is the hollow organ in the lower abdomen that stores urine. As the bladder fills, muscles in its walls relax so that it can expand. As the bladder empties during urination, the muscles contract to squeeze the urine out through the urethra. Several different bladder problems can cause pain. The three most common causes of bladder pain are interstitial cystitis, urinary tract infection and bladder cancer. The bladder is the all important organ in the pelvis that collects and hopefully empties urine at the right time. Many problems can arise here like infections, cancer, interstitial cystitis and arguably the worst problem, a “fallen bladder” (a.k.a. Prolapsed Bladder, Cystocele). That’s right the bladder can literally fall out. Varying degrees of a prolapsed bladder exist starting with Grade 1, where just a little portion of the bladder pokes into the vagina, all the way to Grade 4, where the entire bladder is fallen out into and through the vagina. Now that condition can be as painful as it sounds and looks. Pain from the prolapsed bladder can be felt in the lower back, sacrum and pelvic region. Interstitial Cystitis Often misdiagnosed as a urinary tract infection, interstitial cystitis can take up to four years to be properly diagnosed. Once it is diagnosed, your doctor can offer you treatment for it and its symptoms, including bladder burn. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, interstitial cystitis, a medical condition that causes inflammation of the bladder wall, affects 1.3 million Americans, 1 million of whom are women. Symptoms include mild or burning pain in the bladder and pelvic area, frequent urges to urinate and pain during sexual intercourse. Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic condition in which the bladder becomes inflamed and irritated. The inflammation stiffens the bladder wall, and makes it difficult for the bladder to fully expand when filling with urine. IC may be caused by a defect in the bladder lining. Women are much more likely than men to have the condition. A main symptom is pain, which is strongest when the bladder fills and eases when the bladder empties. Pain may also be felt more generally in the lower back, abdomen or groin. People with this condition may also urinate more frequently or feel an urgent need to urinate, yet they may only pass a little bit of urine each time. Sexual problems may also be related to interstitial cystitis. Urinary Tract Your urinary tract is the system that makes urine and carries it out of your body. It includes your bladder and kidneys and the tubes that connect them. When germs get into this system they can cause an infection. Most urinary tract infections are bladder infections. A bladder infection usually is not serious if it’s treated right away. If you don’t take care of a bladder infection, it can spread to your kidneys. A kidney infection is serious and can cause permanent damage. Usually, germs get into your system through your urethra, the tube that carries urine from your bladder to the outside of your body. The germs that usually cause these infections live in your large intestine and are found in your stool. If these germs get inside your urethra, they can travel up into your bladder and kidneys and cause an infection. For reasons that are not well understood, some women get bladder infections again and again. You may have an infection if you have any of these symptoms: You feel pain or burning when you urinate. You feel like you have to urinate often, but not much urine comes out when you do. You have pain in your lower belly and back. Your urine is cloudy, looks pink or red, or smells bad. You have pain on one side of your back under your ribs. This is where your kidneys are. You have fever and chills. You have nausea and vomiting. Call your doctor right away if you think you have an infection and: You have a fever, nausea and vomiting, or pain in one side of your back under your ribs. You have diabetes, kidney problems, or a weak immune system. You are older than 65. You are pregnant. Your doctor will ask for a sample of your urine. It is tested to see if it has germs that cause bladder infections. If you have infections often, you may need extra testing to find out why. If a woman has lower back pain with the “usual” urinary incontinence, a mild prolapsed bladder can be mistaken as just “lower back pain.” As the bladder falls further and the pain gets worse, the prolapsed bladder becomes more obvious. After a little “nip, tuck and sling,” the bladder can be put back into place and the back pain magically disappears. Other female organs can prolapse and cause back pain besides just the bladder. So, women with back pain might want to consider having a full pelvic exam especially if urinary incontinence is present. Back pain may not be all that it seems. Back pain is an easy diagnosis to throw around and sweep under the rug because it is so common. But other common problems can be mistaken as just typical back pain, particularly gallbladder and bladder problems. These internal organs are especially problematic for women. Women with back pain should be aware of these cases of mistaken identity and mistaken diagnosis. Unfortunately for some women, it can take years to find the real reason for so called “back pain.” A bit more thoroughness can uncover an unhappy internal organ and possibly a better solution. If you think that you may have another reason to have back pain, talk with your doctor and ask for some more investigation. Because your health and life matters! BACK PAIN
UNDERSTANDING THE ANATOMY OF THE SPINE Understanding The Anatomy Of The Spine The spine is made of 33 individual bones stacked one on top of one another. Ligaments and muscles connect the bones together and keep them aligned. The spinal column provides the main support for your body, allowing you to stand upright, bend and twist. Protected deep inside the bones is where the spinal cord connects your body to the brain, allowing movement of your arms and legs. Strong muscles and bones, flexible tendons and ligaments and sensitive nerves contribute to a healthy spine. Understanding the anatomy of the spine will help keep your spine healthy, which is extremely important if you want to live an active life without back pain. When viewed from the side, an adult spine has a natural S-shaped curve. The neck (cervical) and lower back (lumbar) regions have a slight concave curve and the thoracic and sacral regions have a gentle convex curve. The curves work like a coiled spring to absorb shock, maintain balance and allow range of motion throughout the spinal column. The muscles and the correct posture maintain the natural spinal curves. Good posture involves training your body to stand, walk, sit and lie so that the least amount of strain is placed on the spine during movement or weight-bearing activities. Excess body weight, weak muscles and other forces can pull at the spine’s alignment. An abnormal curve of the lumbar spine is lordosis – which is called sway back. An abnormal curve of the thoracic spine is kyphosis – which is called hunchback. An abnormal curve from side-to-side is called scoliosis. Muscles The two main muscle groups that affect the spine are extensors and flexors. The extensor muscles are attached to the back of the spine which enables us to be able to stand up and lift objects. The flexor muscles are in the front and include the abdominal muscles, which helps us to flex or bend forward and are important in lifting and controlling the arch in the lower back. The back muscles stabilize your spine. Poor muscle tone or a large belly can pull your entire body out of alignment and that can put incredible strain on the spine. Vertebrae The Vertebrae is the 33 individual bones that interlock with each other to form the spinal column. The vertebrae is numbered and divided into regions, cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum and coccyx. Only the top 24 bones are moveable, the vertebrae of the sacrum and coccyx are fused. The vertebrae in each region have unique features that help them perform their main functions. Cervical (Neck) – Cervical spine’s main function is to support the weight of the head (about 10 pounds). The seven cervical vertebrae are numbered C1 to C7. Because of two specialized vertebrae that connect to the skull, the neck has the greatest range of motion. The first vertebra (C1) is the ring-shaped atlas that connects directly to the skull. This joint allows for the nodding or “yes” motion of the head. The second vertebra (C2) is the peg-shaped axis, which has a projection called the odontoid, that the atlas pivots around. This joint allows for the side-to-side or “no” motion of the head. Thoracic (mid back) – The thoracic spine main function is to hold the rib cage and protect the heart and lungs. The twelve thoracic vertebrae are numbered T1 to T12. The range of motion in the thoracic spine is limited. Lumbar (low back) – The lumbar spines main function is to bear the weight of the body. The five lumbar vertebrae are numbered L1 to L5. These vertebrae are much larger in size to absorb the stress of lifting and carrying heavy objects. Sacrum – The main function of the sacrum is to connect the spine to the hip bones (iliac). There are five sacral vertebrae, which are fused together. Together with the iliac bones, they form a ring called the pelvic girdle. Coccyx region – The four fused bones of the coccyx or tailbone provide attachment for ligaments and muscles of the pelvic floor. Intervertebral Discs Intervertebral discs sit in between the vertebrae. They are flat and round, and about a half inch thick. Intervertebral discs are made up of two components: Nucleus pulposus. The nucleus pulposus is gel-filled and makes up the center of the disc. The gel-filled nucleus is composed mostly of fluid and gives the disc flexibility and strength.This fluid is absorbed during the night as you lie down and is pushed out during the day as you move upright. Annulus fibrosus. This is the flexible outer ring of the disc. It’s made up of several layers, similar to elastic bands. When you are standing or moving, weight is put onto the nucleus. In response, the nucleus expands. The annulus holds the nucleus in place. This allows movement to take place, yet maintains the strength of the spine. In effect, discs act as shock absorbers for the spine.The disc, like other cartilage, consists mainly of a matrix of collagen fibres (which are embedded in a gel of proteoglycan) and of water. These together make up 90 to 95% of the total tissue mass, although the proportions vary with location within the disc and with age and degeneration. There are cells interspersed throughout the matrix that are responsible for synthesizing and maintaining the different components within it. With age, our discs increasingly lose the ability to reabsorb fluid and become brittle and flatter, this is why we get shorter as we grow older. The intervertebral disc is a very important structure. Many nerve endings supply the annulus and as a result, an injured annulus can cause severe pain. Vertebral arch & spinal canal On the back of each vertebra are bony projections that form the vertebral arch. The arch is made of two supporting pedicles and two laminae. The hollow spinal canal contains the spinal cord, fat, ligaments and blood vessels. Under each pedicle, a pair of spinal nerves exits the spinal cord and pass through the intervertebral foramen to branch out to your body. Facet Joints Between the back of the vertebrae are small joints that also help your spine move. These facet joints have a cartilage surface, very much like a hip or a knee joint does. The facet joints are important for allowing rotation of the spine but may develop arthritis and become a source for lower back or even neck pain. Ligaments and Tendons Ligaments and tendons are fibrous bands of connective tissue that attach to bone. Ligaments connect two or more bones together and help stabilize joints. Tendons attach muscle to bone. Tendons vary in size and are somewhat elastic and attach bones to muscles. The system of ligaments in the vertebral column, combined with the tendons and muscles, provides a natural brace to help protect the spine from injury. Ligaments aid in joint stability during rest and movement and help prevent injury from hyperextension and hyperflexion (excessive movements). Spinal Cord The spinal cord is the most important structure between the body and the brain. The Spinal Cord is connected to the brain and is about the diameter of a human finger. From the brain the spinal cord descends down the middle of the back and is surrounded and protected by the bony vertebral column. The spinal cord is surrounded by a clear fluid called Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF), that acts as a cushion to protect the delicate nerve tissues against damage from banging against the inside of the vertebrae. The anatomy of the spinal cord itself, consists of millions of nerve fibres which transmit electrical information to and from the limbs, trunk and organs of the body, back to and from the brain. The nerves which exit the spinal cord in the upper section, the neck, control breathing and the arms. The nerves which exit the spinal cord in the mid and lower section of the back, control the trunk and legs, as well as the bladder, bowel and sexual function. The nerves which carry information from the brain to muscles are called Motor Neurones. The
nerves which carry information from the body back to the brain are called Sensory Neurones. Sensory Neurones carry information to the brain about skin temperature, touch, pain and joint position. The brain and spinal cord are referred to as the Central Nervous System, whilst the nerves connecting the spinal cord to the body are referred to as the Peripheral Nervous System. Any damage to the spinal cord can result in a loss of sensory and motor function below the level of injury. For example, an injury to the thoracic or lumbar area may cause motor and sensory loss of the legs and trunk (called paraplegia). An injury to the cervical (neck) area may cause sensory and motor loss of the arms and legs (called tetraplegia, formerly known as quadriplegia). Spinal nerves The spinal cord is made up of neuronal cell bodies and axons. The cell bodies are located in the horns (grey matter) and ganglia, and the axons comprise the white matter (tracts) of the cord. Thirty-one pairs of spinal nerves branch off the spinal cord. The spinal nerves act as telephone lines carrying messages back and forth between your body and spinal cord to control sensation and movement. Each spinal nerve has two roots. The ventral (front) root carries motor impulses from the brain and the dorsal (back) root carries sensory impulses to the brain. The ventral and dorsal roots fuse together to form a spinal nerve. The spinal nerve travels down the spinal canal alongside the cord, until it reaches its exit hole, the intervertebral foramen. Once the nerve passes through the intervertebral foramen, it branches, each branch has both motor and sensory fibers. The smaller branch, called the posterior primary ramus, turns posteriorly to supply the skin and muscles of the back of the body. The larger branch, called the anterior primary ramus turns anteriorly to supply the skin and muscles of the front of the body and forms most of the major nerves. The spinal nerves innervate specific areas and form a striped pattern across the body called dermatomes. Doctors use this pattern to diagnose the location of a spinal problem based on the area of pain or muscle weakness. Like leg pain (sciatica) usually indicates a problem near the L4-S3 nerves. Spinal Meninges and Cerebrospinal Fluid Collectively, the Dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater surrounding the spinal cord form the spinal meninges. These membranes and CSF surround, support, and protect the spinal cord and the spinal nerve roots, including those in the cauda equina. The spinal Dura mater, composed of tough, fibrous, and some elastic tissue, is the outermost covering membrane of the spinal cord. The spinal Dura mater is separated from the vertebrae by the extradural (epidural) space. The Dura forms the spinal Dural sac, a long tubular sheath within the vertebral canal. The spinal Dural sac adheres to the margin of the foramen magnum of the cranium, where it is continuous with the cranial Dura mater. The spinal Dural sac is pierced by the spinal nerves and is anchored inferiorly to the coccyx by the filum terminale. The spinal Dura extends into the IV foramina and along the posterior and anterior nerve roots distal to the spinal ganglia to form Dural root sheaths, or sleeves. These sheaths blend with the epineurium, outer connective tissue covering of spinal nerves, that adheres to the periosteum lining the IV foramina. The spinal arachnoid mater is a delicate, avascular membrane composed of fibrous and elastic tissue that lines the Dural sac and the Dural root sheaths. It encloses the CSF-filled subarachnoid space containing the spinal cord, spinal nerve roots, and spinal ganglia. The arachnoid mater is not attached to the Dura but is held against the inner surface of the Dura by the pressure of the CSF. In a lumbar spinal puncture, the needle traverses the Dura and arachnoid mater simultaneously. Their apposition is the Dura–arachnoid interface, often erroneously referred to as the subdural space. No actual space occurs naturally at this site, it’s rather a weak cell layer. Bleeding into this layer creates a pathological space at the Dura–arachnoid junction in which a subdural hematoma is formed. In the cadaver, because of the absence of CSF, the arachnoid falls away from the internal surface of the Dura and lies loosely on the spinal cord. The arachnoid mater is separated from the pia mater on the surface of the spinal cord by the subarachnoid space containing CSF. Delicate strands of connective tissue, the arachnoid trabeculae, span the subarachnoid space connecting the arachnoid and pia.
The spinal pia mater, the innermost covering membrane of the spinal cord, consists of flattened cells with long, equally flattened processes that closely follow all the surface features of the spinal cord. The pia mater also directly covers the roots of the spinal nerves and spinal blood vessels. Inferior to the conus medullaris, the pia continues as the filum terminale. The spinal cord is suspended in the Dural sac by the filum terminale and especially by the right and left saw tooth denticulate ligaments (L. denticulus, a small tooth), which run longitudinally along each side of the spinal cord. These ligaments consist of a fibrous sheet of pia mater extending midway between the posterior and the anterior nerve roots. Between 20 and 22 of these processes, shaped much like sharks’ teeth, attach to the internal surface of the arachnoid-lined Dural sac. The superior processes (uppermost part) of the right and left denticulate ligament attach to the cranial Dura mater immediately superior to the foramen magnum. The inferior process extends from the conus medullaris passing between the T12 and the L1 nerve roots. Subarachnoid Space The subarachnoid space lies between the arachnoid mater and the pia mater and is filled with CSF. The enlargement of the subarachnoid space in the Dural sac, caudal to the conus medullaris, and containing CSF and the cauda equina is the lumbar cistern. Your spine is one of the most important parts of your body. It gives your body structure and support. Without it you could not stand up or keep yourself upright. It allows you to move about freely and to bend with flexibility. The spine is also designed to protect your spinal cord. The spinal cord is the most important, it has nerves that connects your brain to the rest of your body, allowing you to control your movements. Without a spinal cord you could not move any part of your body, and your organs could not function. Keeping your spine healthy is vital if you want to live an active life.

BACK PAIN PREVENTION TIPS Back Pain Prevention Tips Back Pain – even the mention of it starts to send prickles of discomfort up the spine. Back Pain is one of the most uncomfortable, inconvenient, and downright painful types of injuries that can befall a person. If you don’t have back pain yet and want to keep it that way? Trying these techniques that we here at Doctors Pain Relief Systems suggest will help prevent back pain long before it begins from future injury and discomfort.
Stand Tall When you slouch while your on the computer, telephone or even when texting, you don’t realize the damage your doing to your back and the pain you could be causing. Be sure to work at an ergonomically correct workstation, both at the office and at home, and break up long periods in front of the computer with stretching exercises. If you practice good posture, you will maintain the natural curves of your back and help keep it strong. To practice imagine a line coming down through your body from the ceiling. Your ears, shoulders, hips, and knees should all stack up along that line, with your head stacked directly atop your neck, not jutting forward.
Avoid Smoke A 2010 review of 40 studies found that smokers have more low back pain than nonsmokers, because smoking reduces blood flow to the spine.
Wear Sneakers If you wear heels or even flats that have little cushioning, every time your foot strikes concrete, you’ll jar the bones and muscles in your lower back and that can cause lower back pain.
Sit Pretty with Pretty Posture You should have an office chair that provides good support so that your back is curved like an S, not a C! And about every half hour be sure to get up and walk around for a few seconds to take some of the stress off your back.
Proper Lifting You know to always hoist heavy objects using your legs, not your back. But what about a very light object? The Best way to lift a very light object is to lean over it, slightly bend one knee, and extend the other leg behind you.
Downsize your pillows Sleeping with two or three pillows under your neck can strain your muscles. Downsize to one nice soft pillow!
Exercise Choosing a great exercise plan for strengthening the muscles around your spine is probably the most important and helpful tip we can give you to prevent injury. By building these muscles over time, your back will be able to handle stress with more durability and will greatly decrease your chance for injury. In fact, although it sounds less than pleasant, it is also good to continue to try to do some light exercise and stretching when you are in pain, depending on the source of pain. We always recommend Doctors Pain Relief Systems, it’s designed to help strengthen the muscles around your spine and we’ve taken the 3 most common postural imbalances and created individual plans for each imbalance. So whatever your specific postural imbalance is… you’ll now have an exact Blueprint to follow that’ll help eliminate your back pain, not just temporarily… but possibly forever!

There are certain changes you can do to help prevent future back pain from wrecking havoc in your life. I like to refer to back pain as a “fun sucker” because it literally keeps you from being able to do activities you love and that are fun. Here are some tips to help give some relief and to help prevent future back pain. Maintain a healthy weight. Staying fit is one of the most important recommendations for avoiding back pain. Stretch your muscles. In addition to exercise, stretching is important for staying flexible and avoiding back problems. It’s also a key part of recovering from a back injury. Stretch before doing heavy lifting or exercise and make a habit of doing it before bed. Focus on good posture. Poor posture is another major contributor of back pain. When you’re sitting, getting a chair that’s designed to keep your back straight will help. Keep your back muscles strong. The most common back problems happen because people who aren’t in shape start doing heavy lifting or hard work and stress their back. Muscles give your spine the support it needs to keep it healthy. That’s why physical therapy is standard back pain treatment, but being in shape can help you avoid back pain to begin with. Lift properly. When you do pick up a heavy object, bend at the knees and keep the item close to your body. Also, take care not to twist your body when you lift, and wear a brace if you have a job that requires heavy lifting. Leave your purse at home. If you can, stash a few dollars and your identification in your pocket when you leave the house rather than carrying around a heavy purse. Carrying a bag changes your balance and can change the curve of your spine Practice stress relief for back pain relief. Stress tends to make back pain worse. That may be another good reason to practice yoga. Other ways to reduce stress include treating yourself well, avoiding over-scheduling your days, and taking time to enjoy life. Sleep well. Soft mattresses push your back out of alignment, so it’s best to choose a mattress that’s in the range of medium to firm for back pain relief. Live a healthy lifestyle and exercise and take care of your back. So you don’t have to experience back pain. BACK PAIN, CHRONIC BACK PAIN, DIET & LIFESTYLE , PAIN, PAIN RELIEF, TREATMENTS
THE MAIN CAUSES OF BACK PAIN – TREATMENTS
The Main Causes of Back Pain – Treatments It doesn’t matter if you’re a weekend warrior, an elite athlete or somewhere in between, there’s a strong chance that eventually you’ll deal with back pain too. Here’s why, Everyday activities that you do without thinking like sitting at the computer, slipping on a pair of shoes, crawling into bed at night can make or break your spine health. Most aches are caused by strains that are injured muscles or tendons or sprains that damage the tough fibrous tissue or ligaments, located where your vertebrae connect to joints. These injuries are typically brought on by overuse, a new activity, excessive lifting or an accident. Other times a compressed pinched nerve such as in a herniated disk is to blame for the ache. Exercise which a majority of experts agree is one of the best ways to maintain a healthy back and chase away aches and pains is a great and healthy way to heal common back pain. Especially if you fall into the 80 percent of the population that regularly suffers from back pain, take heart. One-third of aches are due to a strain that can take weeks to heal. But unless you do some spine tuning — strengthening your back through exercise and fostering healthier habits, your odds of a recurrence within six months are about one in three. Keep your back in tip-top shape by avoiding these seven spinal sins. Are you a screen king or queen? Nine hours — that’s how long the average person spends hunched over or slouched in front of a screen each day. A Temple University study suggested that increased texting on our latest tech obsessions, smartphones and tablets are creating more aches and pains in our shoulders, necks, and backs. It’s important to take breaks, do neck exercises and occasionally hold your phone or tablet out in front of you. For a simple neck reliever, hold your head for 10 seconds in each of the following positions: forward, back, left, and right. Repeat this five times a day. Sitting all day is hazardous, too. “It puts more pressure on disks and vertebrae than standing or walking. Alleviate the tension with an office makeover. Start with a lumbar-support cushion, then adjust your seat so your computer monitor is at eye level, your arms and knees are bent at a 90-degree angle, and your feet rest on the floor. Do you ignore your core? When you hear the word core, you picture six-pack abs. But your core is composed of much more: Back, side, pelvic and buttock muscles all work together, along with your abs to allow you to bend, twist, rotate and stand upright. Your core is like a crane that supports all of your movements. Unlike crunches, which focus solely on abdominal muscles, core exercises like lunges, squats, planks and others strengthen several spine-supporting muscle groups at once. Like the Exercises found in Doctors Pain Relief Systems. Do you sleep on your stomach? Sleeping on your stomach places pressure on joints and muscles but sleeping on your side or back keeps your spine elongated and neutral. If you must snooze on your tummy, slide a thin pillow under your hips to alleviate pressure on disks, ligaments and muscles. Regardless of your slumber sweet spot, go with a medium mattress also you could check the manufacturer’s scale of firmness and opt for one in the middle range. Here’s a link to the mattress that I use. You can get a 10% discount if you mention DRJASONHURST. Click on the link and then scroll down the page to “The Perfect Mattress” to learn more. Also, make sure you have a pillow that keeps your head in line with your spine. Research in the Lancet found that people with chronic lowback pain who snoozed on medium mattresses had fewer aches after three months than those who slept on firm beds. Your bed should be not too hard, this wreaks havoc on hips and shoulders and not too soft, this puts your back and joints out of whack. Are you an emotional mess? It’s no secret that struggling with pain can take a toll on your mental health and studies have shown that people with back pain are more likely to be depressed. But now doctors are discovering that the reverse may be true as well. In research from the University of Alberta in Canada, people with major depression were four times as likely to develop disabling low-back and neck pain. Some scientists believe that poor coping skills related to depression, such as withdrawing or avoiding problems, may trigger the release of the stress hormone cortisol, causing back and shoulder muscles to tense up and spasm. “The result can be a devastating cycle of chronic pain and depression. Try some great mood enhancers like exercise, meditation, yoga, and deep breathing which can help ease stress and make you feel better. Are you a shoe lover? Sky-high stilettos are a no-no but it turns out that flats can cause trouble too. Sandals and flip-flops often provide little, if any arch support. Continuous wear can lead to back, knee and foot problems down the line. But don’t worry you don’t have to settle for all function and no flair. Alternate styles throughout the week, from high to low, sneakers to sandals and avoid wearing a particular pair every day. Shoes should fit properly and offer good arch and heel support. If you walk to work or the bus stop, wear shock-absorbing sneakers, then slip on cuter kicks once you get to the office. Getting some quality orthotics can help to save your feet and your back. The best part is that you don’t have to pay the huge markup price at your doctor’s office. You can order directly from my personal supplier of orthotics. I send all of my patients to this company for the best price and the best quality. Your purse could also be to blame, especially if it’s huge and you’re lugging it on one shoulder. Try a tote with a wide padded strap, carry it messenger style and lighten the load. Your bag should weigh less than 10 percent of your body weight. Do you baby your back? Lying down minimizes stress on the lumbar spine however, staying sedentary for more than a day or two can actually prolong and worsen pain. Studies show that back pain sufferers who remained active recovered more quickly and felt less depressed than those who took it easy. Low-impact activities like walking and swimming boost blood flow to back muscles while relieving pain and stiffness. Stretching and strengthening may be one of the most effective spine soothers. 60 percent of patients who were back-pain sufferers who fostered the Exercises in Doctor’s Pain Relief Systems, reported less discomfort and 40 percent of patients were able to cut back on pain meds. Doctor’s Pain Relief Systems has three main components, aerobic conditioning, stretching, and strengthening. It’s a controlled, progressive program with the goal of building towards a stronger, more flexible spine. If your dealing with back pain and have tried everything to get relief but had no luck. Applying the right exercises or a suitable exercise plan like Doctor’s Pain Relief Systems that will help strengthen the muscles that support your back and improve the flexibility of your spine and also teaches you how to improve your posture and reduce any future strain on your back.

UNDERSTANDING BACK PAIN – CAUSES & TREATMENTS
Understanding Back Pain – Causes & Treatments
Lower Back Pain The lower back is an intricate structure of interconnected and overlapping elements. Tendons and muscles and other soft tissues. Highly sensitive nerves and nerve roots that travel from the lower back down into the legs and feet. Small and complex joints, Spinal discs with their gelatinous inner cores. An irritation or problem with any of these structures can cause lower back pain and/or pain that radiates or is referred to other parts of the body. Pain from resultant lower back muscle spasms can be severe, and pain from a number of syndromes can become chronic. While lower back pain is extremely common, the symptoms and severity of lower back pain vary greatly. A simple lower back muscle strain might be excruciating enough to necessitate an emergency room visit, while a degenerating disc might cause only mild, intermittent discomfort. Identifying the symptoms, along with an accurate diagnosis of the underlying cause of the pain, is the first step in obtaining effective pain relief.
Upper Back Pain Upper back pain can occur as a result of trauma or sudden injury or it can occur through strain or poor posture over time. As an example of the latter cause, in recent years upper back pain has become a familiar complaint from people who work with computers most of the day. Often upper back pain occurs along with neck pain and shoulder pain. The vast majority of cases of upper back pain are due to one (or both) of the following causes: Muscular irritation (myofascial pain) Joint dysfunction
Muscular Irritation Causing Upper Back Pain The shoulder girdle attaches by large muscles to the scapula (the shoulder blade) and the back of the thoracic rib cage. These large upper back muscles are prone to developing irritation (myofascial pain) that can be painful and difficult to work out. Often, muscular irritation and upper back pain is due to either deconditioning (lack of strength) or overuse injuries (such as repetitive motions). Muscle strains, sports injuries, auto accidents, or other injuries can all result in pain from muscular irritation. Treatment for back pain usually depends upon the patient’s history and the type and severity of the pain. The vast majority of back pain cases get better within six weeks without surgery, and back pain exercises are almost always part of a treatment plan.
