More and more people are complaining of prolonged pain in the spine. Some see it as a natural part of ageing and others as a consequence of their work, for example sedentary work. Fortunately, spinal pain can be avoided by adopting a few everyday habits!
First of all, what are the possible causes of back pain?
- Back pain: for example, pain from sloppy posture
- Dislocation of the intervertebral disc
- Spondylosis: degenerative lesions of the vertebrae and intervertebral discs
- Lumbago i.e. lower back pain
- Acute: sudden onset of severe pain
- Chronic: constant aching
- Scoliosis
- Tailbone pain
- Bursitis, i.e. inflammation of the bursal sac
- Piriformis syndrome, i.e. compression of the sciatic nerve
- Hernia of the lumbar spine
- Bekhterev's disease, which is a degenerative arthritis that primarily affects the joints of the spine, causing ossification of the cartilage and ligaments surrounding the vertebrae and complete stiffening of the spine
What can you do to prevent or relieve back pain?
- Swim for health:
Swimming is beneficial for the muscles of the back and spine, helping to strengthen them, which can help to prevent the onset of complaints. - Ergonomics:
Protect your spine with an ergonomically designed environment, even when sitting, by developing a correct sitting position. - Pay attention to your posture:
By developing and maintaining the correct posture, you can do a lot to prevent and relieve back pain. - Watch your weight:

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to relieve pain. - EN! If you are already in pain, see a specialist as soon as possible!
Persistent spinal pain can even be a sign of disc herniation, which without professional treatment can become increasingly painful and cause reduced mobility. Herniated discs can develop in people who play sport regularly, go to the gym, lead a passive lifestyle or do sedentary work.
Hernia of the cervical spine in the case of wear and tear, the inner part of the disc protrudes and presses on the nerve roots running along the spinal canal.
The pressure can cause:
- Severe pain
- Numbness
- Vascular disorder
- Muscle weakness
- Even paralysis
The durable back pain can even indicate a herniated disc, which without professional treatment can become increasingly painful and cause reduced mobility. The hernia can develop in people who play sport regularly, go to the gym, lead a passive lifestyle or do sedentary work.
In the case of a herniated disc, the inner part of the disc protrudes and presses on the nerve roots running along the spinal canal due to wear and tear.
If such symptoms are detected, it is recommended to immediately Specialist orthopaedic traumatologist because herniated disc that is detected early can be treated well with professional physiotherapy and massage, thus avoiding surgery.
