ISSUES OF DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF BACKPAIN

Abstract

In the present article based on the publications of BSMU, the current understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of nonspecific back pain has been summarized. The issues of diagnosis, clinical manifestations and treatment of this pathology have been considered.The urbanization of modern society and, as a result, the physical inactivity associated with it, environmental problems, and the high content of carbohydrate foods increase degenerative regression in the intervertebral discs. Pain syndrome, which reduces the quality of life and is the result of a long-term disability, causes the largest number of patients’ complaints. Backpain tends to recur and, as a result, early diagnosis of the cause allows an adequate treatment of pain associated with degenerative-dystrophic processes of the cervical spine. Along with the ongoing therapy, on the basis of publications, clinical cases have been taken into account in which differential diagnosis was carried out with a number of somatic diseases - oncological neoplasms, pyelonephritis. Neck pain syndromes differ significantly in patients of three constitutional groups as well as the choice of therapy approach - orthotics, local administration of drugs, kinesiotherapy, hydrotherapy, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation.
