7 myths about painful back
Thirty seven million four hundred nineteen thousand five hundred forty nine
In reality myths and misconceptions much more! But if with our help you will get rid of at least these seven (we just liked the figure), will provide invaluable assistance to our main support.
1. Not to hurt back, you need to sit up straight.
Indeed, stooped posture, kyphosis, is not good. But to sit like I swallowed a yardstick, it is also not necessary: the back muscles get overworked, and we get the opposite of what were trying to fight — back pain. If during the day you have to sit a long time, occasionally recline in the chair back, stretch. Better yet, if while reading documents or talking on the phone, you will not sit, and stand.
2. Weight lifting is harmful for the back.
Actually, not so important what you raise, how much and how you do it. It is clear that you should not try to overpower the obviously heavy load. Bend not your back, and the legs, keep the load close to the body, not at arm's length, avoid twisting with a load in the hands (when the feet stay in place and you rotate only the upper torso). Do not attempt to lift some off the floor if sitting on a chair — it's a big risk to "break the back" even if you reached for a fallen pencil.
3. When back pain you need to lie down.
Yes, but only in acute pain arising from injury or overexertion. And even in this case need not long remain in a horizontal position. In a day or two of bed rest you will feel worse, not better.
4. The cause of back pain can be just an injury.
In fact, diseases such localization of pain very much. And not all of them related to the spine. Often, by the way, sore muscles. Muscular frame provides strength and stamina back. If you unleash the imagination and imagine that all the muscles around the spine abruptly disappeared, there's enough effort just 2 kg to bend the spine in an arc. Because of the weakness of the muscles of the torso develops almost 80% of back pain.
In addition, muscles may suffer during intoxication. Classic aches during the flu — just one of the examples. The pain experienced in the back area and in diseases of the kidneys, the pancreas, during menstruation. Nerve damage, degenerative processes in intervertebral disks (osteochondrosis), even a strong emotional experience — all this can cause pain.
5. Lean back doesn't hurt.
Slim skinny girl hatred. One thing — lean athlete-marathoner, and quite another — translucent, suffering from anorexia model. Mindlessly losing weight from bones "shed weight", losing the strength and muscles are no longer able to keep the spine and joints. The result: cracks and fractures in the most unexpected places. But the other extreme (overweight) — not the least test for the back.
6. Exercise patient back not shown.
Perhaps the most common myth. More as shown! Physiotherapy exercises, especially swimming, is everything for spinstabilized. Regular exercise, specially chosen doctor will not only help cope with the pain (after the acute symptoms subside, of course), but also to prevent recurrence. Physical inactivity is the main enemy of the back, especially the patient. People that support the physical form, pain is much less.
"Warriors weekend", which after 5 days of sedentary work lunge in gyms, not in the bill. They just hurt your back a lot more often than even in obese people.
7. Hard mattress better for your back than soft.
The statement is at least ambiguous. People are all different. To recommend to the polls all go to a hard bed is too much. Spanish scientists conducted a study. They asked people to determine the stiffness of his mattress on a 10-point scale (where 10 is the feather beds, and 1 — bare concrete) and then examined them. Now, the healthy back came the Spaniards, as they lay sleeping on the mattresses of medium hardness (5.6 points on the scale mentioned above). And those who slept on a hard bed (2.3 points), revealed many problems. And the troubles with my back started not to buy harsh of mattresses, and after.
