Low Back Pain (LBP) is pain that occurs in the lower lumbar region and can spread to the legs especially the back and outside sides. These complaints can be so severe that sufferers have difficulty in every movement to have to rest and be treated in the hospital. These low back pain complaints turned out to rank second most often after headaches. In the United States, more than 80% of the population has complained of low back pain and in our own country, it is estimated that there are even more. Considering that this low back pain is actually just a symptom/symptom, the most important thing is to look for the factors that cause it to be given the right treatment. Basically, the onset of pain is due to pressure on the peripheral nerves in the lumbar region (pinched nerves). Clips on these nerves can occur due to disorders of the muscles and surrounding tissue, disorders of the nerves themselves, spinal abnormalities or abnormalities in other places, such as infections or kidney stones and others
Muscle spasm (muscle tension) is the most common cause of LBP. This spasm can occur because of too sudden or excessive movement of the waist beyond the strength of the muscles. In addition, calcification of the spine around the waste which results in pinching of the nerves can also cause severe back pain. HNP (Hernia Nucleus Pulposus), which is pushing the nucleus pulposus a substance that is between the vertebrae, towards the back either straight or towards the right or left will push the spinal cord or nerve fibers can also cause pain in the lumbar region very great. This happens because of trauma/accident and the pain can spread to the right or left leg (ischialgia). As for other causes that need to be considered are: tumors, infections, kidney stones, etc., can also cause pressure on nerve fibers. The best treatment is to eliminate the cause (causal), although, for those who experience it, the most important thing is to relieve the pain (symptomatic).
To find the right cause, in addition to spinal X-ray examination, sometimes a special examination is needed such as Scanning, MRI, and others. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. In order not to get exposed to LBP, you should exercise regularly with sufficient intensity and choose the right movements. Avoid foods that contain lots of fat, gout, and others, to slow the calcification of the spine. Try not to get overweight. Live in a healthy environment with clean air and avoid excessive pollution and an orderly life without stress.
