Back Pain Treatment in Lucknow
Generally, back pain indicates an underlying condition in your hip joint. It may be caused due to arthritis or due to a traumatic injury. In unfortunate cases, it may even be a repercussion of a badly done surgery. Such conditions may lead to lower back pain. People with lower back pain may also suffer from discomfort or stiffness during sitting down or walking or standing up.
However, if you suffer from upper back pain, it may be an indicator of an unhealthy or ageing spine. You may have a slipped disc condition or even a tumour in the spine.
Back pain should not necessarily be ‘painful’. Any kind of tingling sensation or numbness in the back area are also categorised as back pain in the world of medicine. In any case, if you have a back pain that you can’t seem to shake off, you must see a back pain specialist. In Lucknow, Dr. Gaurav Sharma offers the best treatment in forms of medicine, lifestyle counselling, physiotherapy, and, if need be, surgery.
What Causes Back Pain?
Like mentioned before, back pain can be due to arthritis, trauma, tumour etc. But what exactly causes those conditions. Well, there are some lifestyle choices and practices that make you prone to developing back pain:
- Extreme physical labour
- Improper weight-lifting
- Being overweight
- Unsupervised & untrained gymming practices
- A fall, collision or an accident
- Advanced age
- Poor posture
- Sitting in a desk regularly for prolonged hours
- Sleeping on a mattress that does not support the spine
- Craning your neck while working on a computer
Although all these conditions may not arise in the back, they are all related to related to overuse (and hence, wear-&-tear) of bones in various parts of the body. Cancer and infections are rare but they may also cause back pain.
Some children are born with a defect in the structure of their spine or hip joint. Although, it may not be considered as ‘back pain’, but they are also treated by orthopaedic doctor like Dr. Gaurav Sharma who specialises in paediatric orthopaedics as well.
