 BACK EDUCATION

Frequently Asked Questions from Readers

and Patients Q5. Two years back, I had the back pain once. Doctor prescribed some medicine and physiotherapy which relieved my back pain well. If the back pain comes again, may I continue the same medicine and physiotherapy? Definitely you should not. Medication by your own is strictly not advisable. Be aware that medicine particularly pain killers results acute gastritis. Pain killers not cure the problem. It just blocks the pain. Prolonged intake of pain blockers may cause renal (kidney) failures too.

Choice of the treatment may vary from time to time. It depends upon various factors. In addition, even some form of physiotherapy may cause some problems. Keep ever in mind that ‘There is no action without reaction’.

Doctor’s prescription expires after stipulated period of time. Hence consult the doctor again if the symptom repeated.

Q6.I am a chronic back pain patient. I’ve switched to other system of medicine. Should I continue the exercise? In all the systems like Allopathy, Homeopathy, Ayurvedha, Siddha or Unani, the internal medicine may vary. But, Exercise is a constant therapeutic method with any system of intake medicine. No other substitute for this. Hence continue the systematic exercise better under supervision /guide lines of physiotherapist for more therapeutic benefit.

Q7.You are instructing us, not to bend, twist& over stretch. Most of your exercises are bending, twisting & stretching only. Then why the house hold activities are not considered as exercise? I agree. Somehow, house hold activities are also exercises. But, remember all house hold activities are not proper exercises to your back problem. Despite, some activities instead of healing you, bring new complication / aggravate the existing problem.

Most of the activities are in improper posture, in a continuous manner beyond the limitation. But exercises prescribed by Physiotherapist are systematically designed, limited in dose as well as in proper posture.

Hence do the house-hold activities in a modified way (see earlier issue homework and back pain) as much as possible with micro break to prevent the back-pain.

Q8.Our doctor has prescribed LS Belt to me. How long I have to wear?

First of all LS belt is a supportive things only and not a therapeutic measure to relieve your pain. In acute pain wear it as per the directions of doctors for some period. but, for low back bone fractures, you have to wear the belt at least for 3 months.

Current trend in pain management discourages the use of Lumbosacral support. Because it reduces the muscular activity results in weakness of the back muscles. Hence wearing of LS belt after the pain has abated, should be as per your doctor advise to avoid its ill effects. But if your work demands lifting of weights etc, you may use this external support while on work.

Q9.I gets back pain while coughing or sneezing. As a chronic patient, what should I do?

Avoid sudden jerky bend forward while cough /sneeze. Keep the back straight or bend backwards little with hands support the back as in the picture which may lessen the excessive jerk. This is just suggestion and not treatment. It will help prevent/minimize aching back.

Note: It is necessary to consult a medical expert who will look in to the problem from various medical angles to avoid serious complication later on.

Q10.I am having discomfort back every day morning. But after started doing my routine work, disturbing discomfort gradually vanished. What’s the reason for early morning trouble? What I have to do for this?

    The body maintained in a fixed /same position for long hours during entire night, tends the body muscles to be stiffened. In addition, an air-condition atmosphere / inclement weather too may stiffen the muscles.

Further, it may be due to….. Nature of sleeping posture while lying on the bed overnight, Face down sleeping or as child pose in the womb. Lie over Sagging bed or more cushioned bed. Keeping big pillow to the head /keep the pillow to the foot. Soon after long rest hours sudden action given to the muscles.

Remedy for early morning discomfort: Select the soft unyielding bed for well supporting of

the back. Maintain better sleeping posture and frequent change of

posture as much as possible.

In the bed itself, do some warm up and stretching exercises as follows before get up from the bed.

1. Bend and straight the legs alternatively 10 to 15 times.

2. Pull one knee to chest in rhythmic swing (not jerky) manner and hold it for few counts. Do this gradual stretching procedure alternatively to both legs.

3. Pull both knees together towards chest relaxed swing manner and then hold it.

No of repetition of above procedure 2-3 times and then get up systematically as in the pictures.

4. A Little walk.

NOTE: During the day, gradual activity releases the muscle spasm and lessens the discomfort back. Q11. Is Executives chair ideal one to prevent back pain?

Q12. I play 2 roles as a home maker and desk worker. I unable to find time do exercises regularly. Give some tips to find a way to live with minimal desk work/homework strain?

Answers in next issue and Wait for further steps to move…..
