The Lumbar Pain Continuum
Keeping in mind that pain is an early notice of potential back problems, knowing the difference in pain types is extremely important. Short-term pain is referred to as acute pain. The basis why acute pain exists is to warn the body that there’s something wrong. This type of pain could be caused by an injury or trauma. Occasionally, acute pain demands instant attention due to the likelihood of having tissue damage.
When pain is constant it is considered to be chronic pain. This means that it could be possible that both your body and mind are involved in this stage. With chronic pain, the body is constantly firing pain signals in the nervous system. Self-esteem and relationships may suffer while experiencing chronic pain. Unfortunately lots of chronic pain patients have become accustomed to this type of life. Nowadays, low back pain and neck pain patients have multiple treatment alternatives available for the different pain types.
A relatively new lumbar pain therapy called non-surgical spinal decompression has been capturing popularity in the lumbar pain arena. Non-surgical lumbar decompression therapy provides relief of pain associated with herniated discs, bulging disks, degenerative discdisease and sciatica.
