Back Problems
Screening & Prevention Tips
Backache
Each year as many
as 25 million
Americans seek a
doctor’s care for
backache
Good fitness can
help the back work
efficiently
Some back
problems are
related to poor
posture
Back Problems
Backache is a health problem caused by
not doing enough physical activity
(hypokinetic condition), because weak and
short muscles are linked to some types of
back problems
Poor posture is associated with muscles
that are not strong or long enough
Sometimes backache can be caused by
doing too much physical activity
(hyperkinetic condition - overuse injury)
How does the back operate
efficiently? Body parts are
balanced like blocks
on legs. The pelvis is
a first block on legs.
The chest hangs from
spine and is balanced
over the pelvis. The
spine connects head
and legs. The head
sits on top of the spine
and is balanced over
the other blocks in the
stack. Since the spine
is flexible and can
move back and forth,
the pull of muscles
keeps the body parts
balanced.
Muscles play an important role in
holding a balance . . .
If muscles on one
side are weak and
long, while muscles
on the opposite
side are strong and
short, the body
parts are pulled off
balance.
Posture Problems
Too much arch in the
lower back is
LORDOSIS, also called
swayback, results when
the abdominal muscles
are weak and the
iliopsoas muscles are too
strong and too short. It
can lead to backache.
KYPHOSIS occur in
thoracic part of the spine,
by poor posture: rounded
back.
What is
Scoliosis?
Everyone's spine has natural curves.
These curves round our shoulders and
make our lower back curve slightly inward.
But some people have spines that also
curve from side to side. It’s called
SCOLIOSIS.
Scoliosis
This condition of side-
to-side spinal curves is
called scoliosis. On an
X-ray, the spine of an
individual with
scoliosis looks more
like an "S" or a "C"
than a straight line.
Some of the bones in
a scoliotic spine also
may have rotated
slightly, making the
person's waist or
shoulders appear
uneven.
The importance of early
detection
Scoliosis can go unnoticed in a child
because it is rarely painful in the formative
years. Therefore, watch for the following
"tip-offs" to scoliosis beginning when child
is about eight years of age:
-uneven shoulders
-prominent shoulder blade or shoulder
blades
-uneven waist
-elevated hips
-leaning to one side
Tests for scoliosis
Any one of these signs warrants an
examination by the family physician,
pediatrician or orthopedist.
Some schools sponsor scoliosis
screenings. Although only a
physician can accurately diagnose
scoliosis, school screenings can
help alert parents to the presence of
its warning signs in their child.
What causes scoliosis?
In most (80 to 85 percent) cases, the cause
of scoliosis is unknown - a condition called
idiopathic scoliosis. In other cases,
scoliosis may develop as a result of
degeneration of the spinal disks, as seen
with osteoporosis, or as a hereditary
condition that tends to run in families.
Nearly one-half million adolescents have a
curve that requires monitoring. Girls are
affected four times as often as boys, and
there is a tendency for this condition to
occur in families.
Scoliosis Myths
A lack of calcium will not cause scoliosis.
Scoliosis is not usually painful in
adolescence, but can become so in
adulthood.
Braces do not make the spine straight.
Smoking does interfere with bone healing.
The metal rods inserted during bone fusion
surgery do not activate the metal detectors
at airports, and do not rust.
Surgery does not interfere with normal
childbearing.
Spinal deformities are not contagious.
Prevention Tips - Scoliosis
The most important is
early examination and
getting doctor’s advice
Unlike poor posture,
scoliotic spinal curves
can't be corrected
simply by learning to
stand up straight
Carry weight balanced
between two hands
Don’t watch TV always
sitting/lying in the
same position
Exercise and do
sports / physical
activities
Prevention Tips
Backache is a
condition that is
often caused by
weak muscles
These exercises
will help strengthen
the muscles which
support back and
improve posture
