Pains in the back

Pains in a back is, perhaps the most frequent reason for visiting the osteopath.

The backbone is the most mobile system of an organism on which influences everything and which influences on everything.

Therefore for osteopath the most important is to find the reason - whence there is a draft on a backbone and influence on the given reason by minimal means.

Sometimes there are several drafts.

Example 1. A.M.36

Complaints of pains in the bottom department of a back (level L4-L5). Earlier a pain gave to the left leg becoming intolerable. The patient made self-correction by exercises, however pains periodically arise, especially at long position sitting. The man has almost ceased to go in for sports because of a pain. Inspections have shown, that on a lumbar department of a backbone 2 drafts - from cervical-head transition - draft of the right orbital artery (subsequently it was found out that the right eye sees worse left), and draft from sigmaform guts ( there were also problems with digestion) come. If draw a line from cervical -head transition to the right to a sigmaform gut at the left the bottom of a stomach it turns out that on this line is 2 lumbar spondyles. Resisting to a turn on a vertical axis, he "forces" all muscles to keep it. Testing has confirmed a pressure of fabrics (muscles, cords, spondyle) in this area. Opened - without muscular protection has remained just a lower lumbar department of a backbone where problems began to arise. There are 2 questions to appear - the First - whence primary drafts have undertaken, and the second – how does the osteopath find them. In occasion of the second question it is necessary to glance on a page - styles of osteopathy. And primary traumas arise usually long before the occurrence of symptoms. Draft from cervical-head transition (involving of an eye artery) most likely - unsuccessful labors. In labors quite often the head searches optimum positions for pass in the patrimonial channel. And with sigma it is possible - a compression left haunch bone in labors. However I would not begin to write all off on consequences of a patrimonial trauma. For example become already classical the case of a trauma of cervical-head transition - when the sportsman with a heavy bar on hands being stretched was called, he has turned sharply and so the head has remained turned sideways up to the help. Primary defeat (or as in osteopathy is said a somatic dysfunction) of sigmaformed guts can arise also owing to a dysbacteriosis caused antibioticotherapia (and who was not stuffed with antibiotics in his the childhood). Thus quite light influence on 2 given zones + influence on the first chest as an accompanying pathology has led to simplification of a condition. Now the work with this patient is proceeding.
