Backache
Backache is one of the most common
affliction, to which hardly any lady is an exception. This is
the most agonising and incapacitating physical disorders which
owes its origin to multiple physical factors. It is merely a
symptom and not a disease whose cause lies elsewhere in the
body. Spine is the longest column in the body that is comprised
of - Cervical Vertebrae, Thoracic Vertebrae or Dorsal Vertibral,
Lumbar Vertebrae, Sacrum and Coccyx or tail bore. In backache,
only lumbar portion is affected, though pains may radiate to
sacrum and coccyx also.
Symptoms
- Constant pain, at times unbearable and severe.
- Difficulty in bending forward and also on sideways.
- Aggravation of pain by least movement, jerk. Feeling as if
entire area is sore and sensitive to even slight touch.
- Relief is felt by gentle massage.
- Incapacitation.
- Feeling as if the back muscles were bound and tightened by
a blinder.
Root Causes
- Spinal Arthritis, Rheumatoid or Ankeylosing Spondylitis.
- Curvature of spine.
- Presence of tumours in the spine.
- Some chronic infection.
- Injury to spine or abnormal stress caused by lifting any
heavy object.
- Poor circulation of blood.
- Sitting in a particular position at a stretch, but more so
when one is obliged to perform some job where bending of back
becomes a necessity.
- Psychological upsets.

-
The diet of those suffering from backache
should consist of a salad of raw vegetable such as tomato,
carrot, cabbage, cucumber, radish, lettuce, and at least two
steamed or lightly cooked vegetables such as cauliflower,
cabbage, spinach, carrot and plenty of fruits except bananas.
The patients should avoid fatty, spicy, and fried foods, curd,
sweetmeats and sugar, condiments, tea and coffee. Foods that
have been processed for preservation have few nutrients and
should also be eliminated from the diet
