Back pain is a very common disease by which people get afflicted worldwide. It has been rightly termed as a ‘lifestyle disorder’. A general cause of a back pain is sitting or standing in bad postures, though there can be various other medical reasons to it.

But as the saying goes: ‘nothing is alone in this world’, the same is true with the back pain. Back pain not only involves physical suffering but it also comes with a plethora of other sufferings. Your professional and social life too suffers due to it.

Various new age studies have come up with a direct relationship between your back pain and the brain. With the help of various comparisons of the brain size, made between two sets of people of the same age group, one who was afflicted with back pain and the others who were found to be totally fit, showed a deviation. People who suffered from back pain showed an acute shrinkage in their brain size, of up to 1.3-centimeter cube per year. Further it was shown that till the time the pain lasted, the brain’s size kept on shrinking. In case of chronic pain, the brain loss was faster as compared to the shrinkage in mild pain.

But there are still some questions that remain unclear with this theory, as to whether the brain loss associated with back pain is permanent or it remains till the pain lasts. Some researchers argue that there have been cases where, there was a decrease in the grey matter that led to shrinkage of the brain without any neuron loss. That means that the effect was only on the brain size and there occurred no memory loss. This statement brings us to the fact that the process of brain loss can be reversed with the help of an effective suggested treatment.

But the reason for this relationship between loss of grey matter and back pain still remains uncertain. But still, researchers have tried to answer this relationship to some extent. They are of the view that development of negative mood and intense stress and pressure can be a cause of this process of degeneration of the brain cells.

So the only way out to this problem is by following various psychological therapies that will help you relieve stress and give you peace out of both, your back pain and brain drain.

If it is an emphatic yes for swimming to cure the back pain, it is a strong no to the cycling, unfortunately. Millions of children and youth all over the world may not like this observation, but facts are facts.

Cycling done for long hours, contributes to many types of bodily imbalances, and may aggravate your back pain. However, cycling done for short durations may not do any major damage. It should be treated as just one of those exercises.

It is generally believed that cycling is one of the best methods to control and improve your overall fitness. While you do cycling, you get exercise to every part of your body. As you peddle, it is a good breathing exercise as well, provided you do it properly. But cycling has some disadvantages, especially if you have back pain. Cycling activity may not be possible at all, in case of acute back pain.

Cycling leads you to muscular imbalances. You may get chronic pain in certain parts of your body. It can never help you control your back pain.

Examine your riding posture on the cycle. Let’s start from the feet and then move up to the head.

Pedaling is a strenuous job, and it puts lots of stress on your calves. Tight calves mean your feet will flatten with lots of stress on the heel cord, knees and planter fascia. The major stress bearing muscles in cycling are the quadriceps.

Lots of cycling and the bent over cycling position is the cause of tightness in the quadriceps and the psoas (hip flexors). Now, you know the most damaging aspect of this position while cycling

Pelvis moves out of the optimal position and goes for a forward tilt. This is the beginning of the muscle imbalance. This is also the starting point of the strain of the lower back. There is lots of strain on the abdominals also. The hamstrings get overworked as you peddle forward, and they become tight.

The shoulders and the mid back have to bear the brunt. As you cycle your back is rounded and you with the back pain try to continue in a very difficult position. The shoulders are hiked up and pulled forward and you can well imagine the impact of it, if you continue cycling for longer duration.

The back pain will make you get down from the cycle automatically. If you still persist, neck tension and pain are guaranteed.

So, cycling can cause certain serious imbalances to your existing state of back pain. Why think of this exercise now? Postpone it for a future date, when you are completely cured form all sorts of back pain. Wait for some months!

Latest and better models of cycles are arriving in the market and they need your solid

‘back’ing!

You know what it feels like when out of the blue your back suddenly seizes in debilitating pain and it’s all you can do to keep from falling to the floor. That’s what acute back pain is, a sudden sharp and severe intense pain that comes on unexpectedly and quickly. This is unlike chronic back pain which is more continuous or constant. Fortunately there are ways to find relief for acute back pain that will help the symptoms until you can get proper medical treatment.

For anyone who has suffered acute back pain you know how difficult it can make everyday tasks. This type of pain is normally caused by some sort of injury to the back but can also be caused by other chronic conditions that have been left untreated. It is the type of pain that is hard to ignore and the best advice anyone can give it to schedule an appointment with your doctor to get the right treatment.

There are several things you can do for back pain relief before you see your doctor or even while you are letting your back heal. The most important thing to do is to try and keep your spine in a neutral position at all times. This means you want to keep the natural curvature of the spine intact. You can do this by using a lumbar role when sitting and by making a conscious effort to avoid slouching. When sitting it is also a good idea to use an ergonomically designed chair that offers good support. Avoid “comfy” furniture that is soft and offers little support as this can actually cause the pain to worsen.

If you need to drive or ride in a car there are a couple of things you can do to make the ride less painful. The lumbar role that you use around the house can also be used in the car to keep you spine in a neutral position. If you are driving consider moving the seat back to make you arms straighter when holding the steering wheel. This keeps the whole body in a more upright posture relieving the stress on your back.

Making the injury worse is the last thing you want to do if you are looking for back pain relief. Lifting anything heavy, or even a light load, should be avoided to keep from further aggravating the problem. Another thing you don’t want to do is sleep on a soft bed as it will not support the back and lengthen the healing process.

That is the key to any type of back pain relief from an injury or other condition, giving it a chance to heal. Of all the parts of the body the back can take an inordinate amount of time to heal. Trying to rush back into your old routine will only make the problem worse and take that much longer to get better.

Thousands and thousands of people annually seek medical care for back pain. For some, the pain is gone within 6 weeks. For others, it becomes chronic back pain.

Chronic back pain affects individuals in various ways. Most make repeated visits to physicians, seeking relief. They want to know what causes their chronic back pain. They want new tests. They want to try whatever treatment may be available.

Chronic back pain sufferers may report difficulty in performing normal daily activities. They may believe the pain is increasing. They may simply want someone to sympathize, and agree that it is not “all in your head” at all.

Although back pain is the main reason people visit orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons, and the second main reason they visit primary care physicians, an estimated 5 to 10 percent of those visitors will receive no cure. They will go from low back pain to chronic back pain.

Patients are frustrated because physicians do not cure back pain. Physicians are frustrated because they cannot cure low back pain. Many think they can do little to prevent occasional severe back pain from becoming chronic back pain.

If nothing is done, however, chronic back pain limitations can seriously impinge on daily activity.

Possible Limitations

A look at possible chronic back pain limitations reveals a long list. There are limitations placed by a physician, but there are many more limitations that patients place on themselves. They may include physical limitations, emotional limitations, or mental limitations. Of the many chronic back pain limitations we can discuss only 7 here.

1. Depression: One of the most common limitations of chronic back pain, depression affects everyone involved in the daily life of the sufferer. The type of depression experienced by sufferers of chronic back pain is not simply a matter of feeling sad or “down at the heels” for a day or so. “Major depression” and “clinical depression” are the terms used for this kind of depression.

When chronic back pain limitations include a major depression, the person feels emotionally miserable everyday for at least two weeks. He or she also may have unexplained crying spells; major appetite changes; fatigue, sleep problems; agitation; and thoughts of death or suicide. There may be little interest in activities that were normally enjoyable.

2. Social Activity: A second of the chronic back pain limitations reported is that of social activity. People suffering chronic back pain become reluctant to attend parties and other social functions. They may curtail recreational activities or outings with the family.

3. Work Time: Those who suffer chronic back pain are also more likely to take off more work time. Statistics show that back pain causes the loss of more than 83 million days of work time each year due to back pain.

4. Job Loss: Since it often means lost work time, another of chronic back pain limitations is job loss. Too many lost days, or poor performance due to chronic back pain, can result in replacement.

5. Work Ability: Chronic back pain is a leading cause of work limitations. Back pain limits workers’ ability to lift, carry, and perform other duties that are required. It places restrictions on workers, and narrows the job field for many people.

6. Low Pay: Chronic back pain limitations include financial limits for some. Those who are limited in work by chronic back pain earn, on average, only two-thirds the amount of those without back pain.

7. Housework: One of the largest limitations of chronic back pain appears to hit normal activities associated with housework, gardening, and lawn work. Patients with back pain that lasted more than 60 days often report they are no longer able to do any gardening, lawn work, or normal cleaning activities such as vacuuming, mopping floors, etc.

Clinically Proven Limitations

For the patient, it is difficult to believe that chronic back pain limitations are often unnecessary. They continue to believe that the pain has a cause that can be readily diagnosed, despite their physician’s repeated assurances to the contrary. They believe the physician can find a medical sure for their back pain if pressed often enough and hard enough. As for treatment, patients often believe that until the cure is found, the best treatment is bed rest and limited activity.

The result of such beliefs is that back pain that could initially be resolved with exercise becomes chronic back pain. Chronic back pain that might still be resolved if the patient were to exercise regularly gradually develops and produces chronic back pain limitations.

TIP: Back pain is very, very common in our society. Rather than let it lead to complications and limitations, you may want to ask your physician for gentle exercises that may resolve your back pain before it becomes chronic.

There are a couple of causes of this type of pain and the healing process that is affiliated with it’s more in line with trying to bring down the pain, rather than curing the situation.
