Back Pain in General

Sciata, lumbago, and others

Widely known are heavy pains in the lower part of the back, which are known as sciata or lumbago. Most of the time, we are dealing with amyotaxia or blocked vertebral joints, which are treated with  rest and heat, for instance with chiropractic.  However, this kind of pain also can be caused  by inflammations, osteoporosis, narrowing of the spinal cord or an abrasion of the vertebral joints. It is very important therefore, that a specialist always identifies the causes of the pain very thouroughly.

Pain in the cervical spine

Demages of the cervical spine can often cause dizziness and nausea, tinnitus, impaired vision, tachycardia, and sensation of heat. Damages of this part of the spine can lead to circulatory disorders, because the blood vessels nourishing the brain are located on both sides of the spine. The patient mostly feels pain in the neck, which also can radiate partially to the shoulders or arms.

Arthrosis can be the cause

Joins get old - as simple this wisdom is as often it is forgotten: Arthrosis is a part of becoming old, because also our joins get older. This process can already start quite early, and is forced by overstrain, injuries or postural deformities. Arthrosis mostly can be diagnosed due to the medical condition.

 

Typically for arthrosis is that the pain in the joins starts with moving, but it decreases quickly thereafter. Depending on the degree, arthrosis also can cause stiffness and swelling of the joins. Also meteorosensitivity is a widely spread sign of arthrosis.

Pain becomes chronic

Back pain is quite often not alleviated by the treatment. Instead, the patient goes from doctor to doctor and from therapy to therapy, without much success. In the contrary: Open lateral disk surgeries caus quite often new pain. A fast diagnosisis is most of the time insufficient especially for patients with chronical pain.

 

To find the causes of the chronical pain is also the basis of a successful therapy. We have several gentle approaches. Important is, that the patient stands always in the center: Social and physical facts as profession, family and the social surrounding, body weight and fitness play a central role in chronic pain.

A good diagnosis is important

Because backpain is very diffuse and the patient cannot exactly localize it, a thourough and precise diagnosis is important to exclude already early enough possible severe dysfunctions. Only thereafter an optimal treatment can follow.

 

To optimally care about our patients, we offer to fill in a questionnaire already before the first consultation. This gives us the chance to rightaway assign you to the best doctor of our clinic.

Our principle:

Most important for our treatments is:

 

To gain the maximum effect with the minimum intrusion.
