Health for All says
Back pain is a common symptom that many people tend to attribute to prolonged exertion, but in reality, back pain can be linked to a variety of conditions. Here, I will introduce six common diseases that can cause back pain and remind everyone not to be careless when facing back pain.
1.Kidney stones: Kidney stones are a common condition that causes severe back pain. In TCM theory, the kidneys are mainly responsible for storing sperm and are related to the bone marrow, so the back pain caused by kidney stones can be understood as the abnormal kidney function leading to the discomfort of the bone marrow of the spine. In traditional Chinese medicine, you can use ancient recipes such as wolfberry boiled eggs, bathing and spring acupoints for conditioning.
2.Gallstones: Gallstones are stones that form in the gallbladder or biliary tract that cause severe pain in the right upper abdomen or right back. According to TCM theory, the gallbladder meridian passes through the back, so gallstones may cause back pain. A commonly used method of traditional Chinese medicine is the decoction of neem bark, which has the effect of soothing the liver and relieving depression and eliminating gallstones.
3.Pancreatitis: Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreatic tissue, which causes severe pain in the upper abdomen or back. According to TCM theory, the pancreas is interrelated with the spleen and stomach, and the spleen is the main muscle, so pancreatitis may cause discomfort in the back muscles. In traditional Chinese medicine**, you can use traditional Chinese medicine such as Coptis chinensis, skullcap** for back pain caused by pancreatitis.
4.Pneumonia: Pneumonia is a common respiratory infection that can cause pain in the chest or back. According to TCM theory, the lungs breathe and the back is the associated area of the lungs, so the back pain caused by pneumonia may be related to abnormal lung function. The Chinese herbal prescription Antelope Cold Tablets can relieve the symptoms of back pain caused by pneumonia.
5.Osteoporosis: Osteoporosis is a bone disease characterized by thinning and brittle bones. In TCM theory, bones are interrelated with the main bones of the kidney, and osteoporosis may be related to insufficient kidney function. The traditional Chinese medicine prescription Angelica sinensis bone granules can regulate kidney function and relieve back pain.
6.Heart disease: Certain heart conditions, such as angina or myocardial infarction, can cause pain in the chest or back. Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that the heart is the main blood vessel, and the back is the related area of the heart meridians, so the back pain caused by heart disease may be related to the obstruction of blood circulation in the heart. Chuanxiong tea, a traditional Chinese medicine formula, can improve blood circulation in the heart and relieve pain symptoms.
In summary, back pain is not just caused by tiredness, it can be related to a variety of diseases. When facing back pain, we should be alert to these possible diseases and seek medical advice in time. Traditional Chinese medicine theories and ancient and modern prescriptions provide us with a wealth of methods, which can be combined with individual conditions for conditioning. Through science popularization and publicity, we hope that everyone can better understand and pay attention to back pain and protect their health.
