All about back pain

What is back pain or dorsalgia?

The
back pain
o
dorsalgia
is a discomfort that is located in the middle part of the back, between the cervical (neck) and lumbar area. Although less common than other types of back pain, it can be just as disabling and affects people of all ages.

This pain may be due to muscular, articular, postural causes or even reflect visceral problems. It is usually intensified by certain postures, deep breathing or repetitive movements of the thoracic spine.

Symptoms of back pain

The
most common symptoms of back pain
of back pain can vary according to the cause, but include:

Localized pain in the middle of the back
Stiffness or limitation of movement
Pain that intensifies with prolonged sitting or standing
Feeling of heaviness or muscle contraction
Pain radiating to chest or ribs
Discomfort when taking a deep breath or turning the torso
In more severe cases: tingling, loss of strength or persistent nighttime pain

If the pain becomes chronic or is accompanied by fever, weight loss, shortness of breath, or a history of trauma, it is important to
to see a doctor immediately.

Types of back pain

Dorsal radicular pain

Radicular pain can be produced in the dorsal region by the compression of a radicular nerve during its course from the medulla to its end. In this part of the spine, this compression manifests itself as a tingling sensation, numbness or a sensation of electricity (a term known as paresthesia or dysesthesia) which can be felt in different parts of the thorax, on one or two sides. This symptom can cause significant discomfort to the sufferer and can also alter the motor capacity of the area.

Myofascial syndrome of the dorsal region

The myofascial syndrome of the dorsal region is a picture of muscle pain sustained over time caused by persistent contracture of a muscle or muscle group. This is, among all, the most frequent cause of pain in the dorsal region.

This contracture is characterized by presenting as a tense, palpable band in the muscle (the contracture), which presents increased consistency and which when pressed produces pain in the area of the contracture or in the path of the muscle.
