Back pain and spinal problems are often the cause of pains that manifest in completely different parts of the body. When these issues are incorrectly treated as separate diseases, the result is unsuccessful treatment. Therefore, with any pain we should always consider the possibility that the cause may be in the spine.
If you feel pain, using the picture at the beginning of the article you can determine which vertebra is responsible
Focus on the area of the spine and find out whether there is any anomaly there. There is a good chance that by removing the problem in the spine the so-called “phantom” pains in other parts of the body will also disappear.
The most common manifestations of spinal anomalies
According to many osteopaths (holistic doctors specializing in the musculoskeletal system) up to 70 % of headaches stem from spinal problems. Other health problems that can be associated with a crooked spine, displaced discs or damaged vertebrae include:
- Ringing in the ears
- Problems with swallowing food
- Vision problems
- Pain in the lower abdominal cavity
- Pain in the hips or thighs
- Affected sensation in the legs and problems with walking
If, for example, you feel pain and stiffness in your hands, check your cervical spine. Problems with the thoracic spine can mimic heart, stomach or intestinal pain. Anomalies in the lumbar spine can be responsible for pain in the lower part of the body.
Conclusion
Regular care of the spine and strengthening it can significantly reduce pains you experience in other parts of the body. This approach may finally help you solve problems that no one has been able to handle so far.
