Well-balanced life with MNI – What causes back, neck and joint inflammatory pain?

What causes back, neck, and joint pain?

Acute and chronic back, neck, and joint pain are caused by inflammation, a biological process that the body activates in order to heal injured tissues. Acute backache usually settles within a few weeks when the inflammatory process naturally subsides. Chronic inflammation, however, results in continuous and persistent discomfort in the spine. Besides causing pain, chronic inflammation also progressively damages the spine if left to continue. 

What are the most common mechanisms that cause back pain?

• Muscle inflammation - Painful muscle inflammation can be caused by several mechanisms including a sprain, strain, poor posture, lifting heavy objects, or whiplash injury.
• Intervertebral disc prolapse or spondylosis - Spondylosis usually begins in one or more of the intervertebral discs situated between the vertebrae in the spine and then spreads to surrounding tissues such as ligaments, joints, and bones. Besides causing local pain, an inflamed intervertebral disc may become weakened through continual enzymatic activity caused by inflammation.
• Osteoarthritis  - This is a common condition that mainly affects the health of the cartilage, especially as one becomes older which may cause chronic disability over time.

The following factors increase your risk:

• Age – lower back pain typically occurs as a first symptom between the ages of 30 and 40 and increases with age.
• Fitness level – back ache is more common among people who are physically unfit.  Download your FREE Exercise program here.
• Diet/weight – excess body fat increases mechanical stress on the back.
• Occupational risk factors – having a physical job that requires heavy lifting, pushing, or pulling, can lead to injury and back pain. An inactive job or a desk job, on the other hand, may also lead to or contribute to pain, especially if you have poor posture or sit all day in an uncomfortable chair.

Effective natural management for inflammatory back, neck, and joint pain:

Anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and analgesics are good options to assist with acute pain. However, they should be used with caution over the long term. These drugs can result in side-effect risks relating to drowsiness, constipation, addiction, and cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and kidney disease.
