Why Do You Experience Back Pain?
According to The journal BMC Evolutionary Biology, there is a relationship between disc herniation and the shape of the spine. The researchers have found out the fact that the people who suffer more from back pain have a lesion. It is known as Schmorl’s node which remains in the bones of their spines. There is also an interesting fact that the spine of the patients with chronic back pain looks very similar to the shape of the spines of chimpanzees compared to other humans. However, if you experience pain for a longer period of time, then contact pain physicians.
Mainly, the schmorl’s nodes lead to back pain among the people. It creates spaces in the vertebrae. The researcher also has found out that the cartilage slips into the vertebral body. You can experience pain, inflammation and face difficulties while walking due to the reason that we have mentioned above. After evolving from four-legged creatures to humans, now we can walk straight on our two feet. Remember that the spine also has evolved over time. But in most cases, more than 80% of people suffer from back pain because their spine has not evolved fully. So, the spine cannot handle the pressure most of the time and as a result, you experience back pain.
According to the researchers, the research will help to interpret medical scans of spinal disease. The specialists also can understand the vertebral shape of an individual and predict the sensibility to intervertebral disc herniation. Hence, now, we can understand that the ancestral vertebral shape that we have found is one of the main reasons behind spinal diseases. Because we have evolved so fast that the quick evolution of bipedalism has an effect on the health of modern humans.
But remember there are few limitations in this research such as small sample sizes. If they do any research further, then it will include the analysis of CT scans of individuals, multiple humans from different ancestral backgrounds and larger sample sizes. The research will also try to capture the 3D shape of non-human and human primate data so that they can find vertebral elements which are present in this research.
Visit Your Pain Physicians
If you are suffering from back pain for years and cannot reduce the pain by applying home remedies, then you should contact Oklahoma Pain Treatment Centres. They also can provide various services including peripheral nerve stimulation, radiofrequency ablation, sacroiliac injections, spinal cord stimulation, stellate ganglion block and many more in Oklahoma.
