Understanding the Anatomy of Mid Back Pain
Your spine is an intricate structure composed of 24 bones stacked with soft discs between each segment, facilitating flexibility and movement. In a healthy back, every joint should have the freedom to move independently, akin to a spring operating seamlessly in all directions. However, when a joint becomes restricted, it's like a portion of that spring being welded together, hindering its function.
Understanding the Causes of Joint Restrictions
Joint restrictions can arise from various factors. They may result from accidents, injuries, repetitive strains, or poor posture. Lifestyle factors such as being overweight, smoking, engaging in strenuous work, or experiencing emotional stress can also elevate the risk of developing these issues. When a joint is restricted, inflammation and swelling often follow, leading to muscular guarding and further restriction. Since the spine functions as a cohesive unit, a restriction in one area can ripple effects throughout the entire back, akin to a rowboat where one rower quitting places extra strain on the others.
When to Seek Professional Help for Joint Restrictions
Restricted joints typically manifest as tenderness and discomfort in the affected area, accompanied by a limited range of motion. Sometimes, movement exacerbates the discomfort. Pain from a restricted joint can radiate around the rib cage and along the spine. It's crucial to reach out for professional assistance if you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, unusual coughing, indigestion, or flu-like symptoms. Long-standing restrictions may lead to arthritis, similar to how a slightly misaligned wheel on a car causes premature tire wear.
