Anyone who suffers from back pain knows how positive a massage can be. The muscles are relaxed and blood circulation is improved. Lymphatic and cell tissue congestion can also be eliminated and scar tissue adhesions can be reduced. One of the main effects of massage, however, is pain relief.
Blocking the transmission of pain using electrical impulses
Pain in the back is transmitted by pain-conducting nerve fibers. These fibers can pass through electric impulse influence, because the impulses block the excitation lines. So the pain cannot be passed on. Therefore, another option is to use electrodes or bioelectric impulses to combat the pain. With their help, for example, the back muscles can be both stimulated and strengthened.
What can patients do themselves regarding the pain?
Some risks and causes can be reduced or eliminated by patients themselves, such as lack of exercise. At least a few regular walks in the fresh air can usually be done even with a stressful job.
Ergonomic seating furniture and the right mattress and pillow can also help. Because the body should not be forced into an incorrect posture both at work and during the night’s rest.
You can also do something regarding your own weight with a healthy diet, just like with smoking habits. In addition, the health insurance companies offer support for treatment and prevention through various courses for relaxation, stress management and especially for back pain.
A doctor must always be consulted in the following cases:
- For complaints following an accident
- In the event of signs of paralysis
- For numbness in the legs
- With simultaneous disturbance of bladder and bowel function
