What problems occur?
Rückenschmerzen im Bereich der Lendenwirbelsäule, Brustwirbelsäule oder der Schulter-Nacken-Kopf-Region ereilen fast jeden einmal im Leben, sie sind zu einer Volkskrankheit geworden.
Back pain in the lumbar spine, thoracic spine or shoulder-neck-head region affects almost everyone at some point in their lives and has become a widespread condition.
The main triggers are poor posture and excessive strain in everyday life (work, sport), non-ergonomic furniture and stressful situations. For most people, this pain disappears with rest, physiotherapy or medication. However, many “back patients” suffer not only from so-called functional disorders of the movement segments, but also from genuine signs of wear and tear on the vertebral joints, ligaments, muscles or the intervertebral disc itself. In persistent cases, this can even put pressure on the surrounding nerve tissue, causing sciatic or arm pain to become unbearable and even leading to neurological deficits.
Myofascial pain syndrome
with persistent muscle tension in the spine, neck pain, shoulder and arm pain, and tension headaches.
Facet joint syndrome
with pain in the entire back, the extremities close to the torso and the groin and buttock region; caused by wear and tear of the vertebral bodies and vertebral joints as well as narrowing of the nerve exit channels.
Spondylolisthesis
Instability of individual sections of the spine with corresponding irritation of the nerve roots and vertebral joints.
Post-nucleotomy syndrome
caused by wear and tear of the disc nucleus and the surrounding fibrous ring with stimulation of the pain receptors in the rear part of the disc and the surrounding ligamentous apparatus.
Segmental dysfunctions
of the entire spine from the neck/head region to the sacroiliac joint with blockages (reduced mobility) of the vertebral joints and the surrounding ligaments.
Nerve root compression syndrome
with shoulder and arm pain, thoracic and lumbar spine pain, sciatica, tingling and numbness; caused by disc protrusions or herniations that exert pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots, resulting in paralysis and sensory disturbances.
Discogenic (disc-related) back pain
i.e. pulling back pain after spinal surgery; caused by spondylolisthesis, inflammatory processes or scar tissue adhesions.
Chronic pain syndromes
in the entire spine, caused by rheumatic diseases, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia or tumour metastases.
