脊柱疾病和背痛

Most adults experience back pain from a spine disorder at some time in their lives, especially as they age. Back pain affects men and women equally. It can begin abruptly as the result of an accident or heavy lifting, or it can develop over time due to age-related changes in the spine.

At UTHealth Neurosciences, fellowship-trained neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuro-oncologists, interventional pain management specialists, and radiation oncologists work together to determine the care each patient needs, discussing treatment options as a group. This approach can save our patients time, and it allows our specialists to share each other’s insights, leading to better treatment decision-making and outcomes.

关于脊柱

The spine is your body’s main support system, with 33 stacked vertebrae: seven cervical (neck), 12 thoracic (chest), and five lumbar (lower back), followed by five fused sacral vertebrae, and the coccyx, with four fused coccygeal vertebrae. Most back pain occurs in the lumbar spine, which includes five vertebrae referred to as L1 through L5. These five vertebrae support much of the weight of the upper body.

圆形的橡胶垫称为椎间盘，在移动身体时，椎骨和缓冲垫之间的空间保持了空间。韧带将椎骨固定在适当的位置，肌腱将肌肉连接到脊柱上。三十对神经植根于脊髓。它们将信号传输到大脑，使您可以控制身体运动。

久坐的生活方式可以为下腰痛奠定基础。在许多老年人中，腰痛与腰椎病有关，腰椎病是脊柱一般变性的医学术语，随着正常的磨损和衰老而发生。在年轻人中，由过度拉伸或举重导致的扭伤和压力是背部受伤的常见原因。持续时间超过三个月的疼痛被认为是慢性的。
