Is back pain caused by inflammation?

Because of maintaining bad posture, many people complain of back pain, and the incidence is getting younger and younger. Many students often complain of back pain. This is mostly caused by maintaining a posture for a long time or a momentary inaccuracy. It is not an inflammation of the waist and back. If it continues for a long time, it will cause damage to the spine and in severe cases it will compress the nerves. This article introduces some related content, let’s learn about it.

1. Most low back pain is caused by muscle contracture, trauma or spinal deformity, but about 1 in 10 patients is caused by systemic diseases. Lower back pain can occur anywhere in the back from the neck to the waist and can be localized or spread over a large area. Low back pain is a common symptom in clinical practice and is not only found among mental workers but also among physical workers. Low back pain has become a chronic disease that is difficult to treat in modern society due to its difficulty in treatment, long course of treatment, and easy recurrence, seriously affecting people's quality of life.

2. The back is a very wide area. Specifically, it includes the neck, chest, waist, sacrum, etc. The waist is the most important and weakest link in the entire back, and most back diseases occur here.

The most important structure of the back is the spine, a columnar structure composed of multiple vertebrae and containing several joints. The spinal cord runs inside it, and is surrounded by ligaments, muscles, tendons and fascia. The structure of the back is very precise, ingenious and complex, and for this reason, the back is also more vulnerable to injury.

The spine is composed of 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, 5 sacral vertebrae and 4 coccygeal vertebrae. Viewed from the side, the spine presents a gentle large S-shape with 4 physiological curves. Whether we are standing or sitting, the lumbar spine is always under great gravity. At the same time, we often have to perform movements such as turning, bending, and stretching in our daily lives, which increases the burden on the waist. Therefore, the waist is easily injured and causes pain.
