Facts about Middle Back Pain
Talk about a pain in the back; literally, middle back pain is an increasing complaint of many people. The reason? Mainly, the increase is due to a sedentary lifestyle that is becoming more and more common for today’s population.
The human body was designed as a vehicle able to withstand challenge. A complex and unique muscular and skeletal system works together like a well oiled machine when it is allowed to perform a variety of tasks. Rather than have delicate limits, our muscles simply grow bigger and stronger with more exercise. What we term as our “back” is the biggest posterior section of the body; encompassing the area from the neck down to the top of the buttocks. On the opposite side of the chest, the back is where the spine and part of the rib cage is found. Several groups of muscles are also found here, permitting movement of the vertebrae, the shoulders and neck. The purpose of the back is to provide support for the body, and can be divided into two parts: the upper back and the lower back. The upper back supports most of the structure of the body, while the lower back enables flexibility and bending. A myriad of nerves, ligaments and tendons branch off and adjoin the bones and muscles which intertwine and connect.
In early days of civilization, much more effort was required in order to eat, move and transport our bodies. No machines existed to do our labor; no grocery stores provided us with ready made food; no vehicles were available to get us from here to there. If a home was needed, trees must be cut by hand for logs, and then planks cut for smooth surfaces. Hard labor was needed to construct the home. Food was acquired by hunting or farming; done on foot and through sweat and might. In those days, our bodies were begging for rest. In current days, they are begging for exercise as we sit at computers, supervising machines that construct and assemble, and ride in vehicles to transport us to and from locations. Food is a simple matter of purchasing the local market, or even ordering online and having it delivered to us.
As a result of progressive technology, we have allowed the one most important machine, the human body, to decay. Muscles grow weak and small through nonuse; energy is depleted before it even begins. Even those of us who regularly attend gyms are typically not utilizing all of the muscle mass with which we were endowed. The body is only functioning at a small percentage of its ability and, as the muscles diminish, the risk for injury and pain rise. Back pain, in particular middle back pain, occurs when these underdeveloped muscles are asked to suddenly perform a task for which they are not prepared.
Types of Back Pain
Most back pain can be attributed to muscle sprains or strains. A sprain occurs to the ligaments; fibrous bands of tissue connecting bones in order to keep them aligned properly for optimal movement. Tearing or unusual stretching of the ligaments is called a sprain. The muscle itself is affected with the onset of a strain; gross stretching of the muscle will cause small tears to develop. Pain may not immediately be felt; it can take up to one or two days for the inflammation and swelling to reach a point that causes pain. In the weakened and shorter muscles of the standard sedentary individual, merely sleeping in the wrong position can create such a condition. Other causes of back pain can be muscle spasms and cramps; symptoms that may be caused by the strain or sprain.
Because of weak back muscles, any excessive lifting or exertion can cause the muscles to stretch too far, develop tears which become inflamed and swollen and create pain. Any activity that requires the use of any back muscles which is not a normal activity has the propensity to end up creating an injury. Often, people perform activities incorrectly, which stretches the muscles in a manner they are not designed to be. Dancing, bowling, tennis; practically any sport that is not done on a regular basis and then attempted with all of the vim and vigor of one who has been playing the sport regularly is likely to cause middle back pain. There are other causes of pain in the back that have nothing to do with exercise or exertion, but rather with medical conditions and disorders. Pregnancy is often associated with back pain, especially as the baby becomes larger and the mother’s body becomes burdened with extra weight. Diseases such as gall bladder, pneumonia, kidney infection, peptic ulcers, lung conditions, heart disease and pancreatitis all carry symptoms of back pain as well. Arthritis and scoliosis are conditions of the spine which can cause pain also.
Treatment for Back Pain
It is important not to disregard back pain. If you have recently participated in an activity which is likely to have caused the pain you are experiencing, try taking an over the counter pain medication and rest the back as much as possible to see if the pain is relieved. Most strains and sprains will heal on their own within a few weeks, but the pain can be quite debilitating in some cases. A heating pad along with an analgesic gel or rub can work with a pain reliever to lessen the pain while the injury heals. For back pain that is associated with a disease or condition, your doctor should be consulted as soon as you begin experiencing the pain. He/she will be able to accurately determine the cause for the pain, and begin a treatment that will both ease the pain and the source of it.
Prevention of Back Pain
As with any type of pain, prevention is always the best medicine. Weight bearing exercise and aerobic exercise are ideal to help strengthen all of the vital muscles, bones and ligaments within the human body. While walking or jogging may be great aerobic exercises, they do very little in working the muscles of the back. Discuss with your doctor the fact that you wish to begin an exercise regimen that will include targeting the back muscles. If you regularly attend a gym, schedule a session with a personal trainer who can not only prescribe a set of exercises for you to perform but also demonstrate how to do them safely. On your own at home, easy exercises are available that can get you well on your way to back health. For the beginner, strengthening exercises as opposed to muscle building exercises should be attempted initially. Remember to start slowly; muscles will take a little time to acclimate to the extra tasks assigned to them, and starting with just a few repetitions and building a little more each session will build them the safe and correct way. Some great programs for back strengthening are yoga, Tai Chai and Pilates, which concentrate on good posture and breathing to achieve muscle toning and strength. These types of programs are best done in a class setting to begin with, but many videos and television programs that are devoted to their instruction can be very beneficial as well as able to be performed in the privacy of one’s own home.
Middle back pain can easily become an issue with anyone. Most people have undeveloped and weakened back muscles that can become injured through activity, and some people have underlying issues such as diseases or medical conditions for which back pain can be symptomatic. We all carry the propensity for back injury through lives that are more sedentary than nature intended them to be. Stretching, strengthening and exercises these muscles can not only alleviate pain but can actually prevent injury from occurring during activities and sports.
If a medical condition is the cause of your back pain, consult with your doctor to determine which exercises will work with your regular treatments to ease the discomfort. For others, preventing possible injury by investing time and care in the most valuable machine you will ever use and depend on: your own body.
