An estimated 540 million people worldwide suffer from back pain, and many of them are improperly treated. It is not always easy to find the source of the pain. US researchers tried to narrow down the search for the pain trigger.

Often the causes cannot be clearly identified

According to scientists, pain in the groin area while wearing shoes or getting in the car is probably related to hip problems. Pain in the hip or back most likely originates from the spine. People who have problems in both their hips and spine may experience pain in both areas for no apparent reason. For example, hip osteoarthritis can put pressure on the lower back. In such cases, similar or overlapping symptoms can make accurate diagnosis difficult. Researchers report this in the journal “American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons.”

There are many causes of back pain

The truth is that the causes of back pain vary from lack of exercise, improper loading, hip joint arthrosis or stress fractures, to bone infarction in the hip, tear in the cartilage surrounding the hip joint, sacroiliac dysfunction. common and much more. In addition to a detailed medical history, doctors should also examine the gait and hip and back mobility of patients with back pain. An educated look at posture, alignment of the pelvis, legs, and spine, muscles, scars from previous surgery, and differences in leg length can also help find the origin of the pain.

Backache

Although other measures are recommended, unnecessary diagnostic procedures, strong painkillers and surgeries are often used. Patients should first be informed about the benefits of exercise by their family physicians. It is better to try simple physical and psychological measures instead of relaxing. Yoga, gymnastics and even going for a walk already help: Exercise, a healthy body weight and restful sleep are the best recipe for a healthy back. (aponet)
