Who does not know it, you sit all day at his desk and the pain in the back is hourly. This is not only the case with me, because as I have recently gelsen, back pain for the Germans statistically the second reason for a visit to a doctor. Around 70% of German citizens suffer at least once a year under the civilization disease.

Often the complaints result from damage to farming, such a poor attitude of the spine when sitting at work or in front of the TV etc. Because back pain is a symptom and not the disease itself, can be quite different causes are possible.

Causes
In most cases, the complaints orthopedic underlying causes often go on farming damage. These causes can not prove - approximately 90% of all chronic back pain are considered “non-specific”, meaning it is not possible to locate their causes. Among the remaining 10% are orthopedic complaints such as osteoporosis, disc incidents and tumors of the spinal counted. Back pain can also be internal, organic causes. Coat ribs inflammation, coronary heart disease and pancreatic inflammation, pulmonary and renal pelvic inflammation - among others - sensitive pain in the spine sphere. Quite apart from the fact that in the first two cases, back pain often with great mental strain, may psychosomatic causes of the complaints also are based. Depression, for example, can express in physical pain. In the last few years has often been observed that psychotherapy treatments to alleviate chronic back pain can contribute.

Therapy
Usually, a symptomatic therapy (physiotherapy, painkillers, preventive exercises), particularly since most are not specifically back pain and their causes are not resolved. In addition, Osteopathic, autogenic training, acupuncture, yoga and massages from the most affected as pain is felt. In the case of clear or orthopedic causes can also intervened surgically, to take the most cases, as I said, not because the pain is not specific.

Prevention
Prevention is particularly balusters behavior in everyday life called: The lifting heavy loads, just keeping the seats, etc. In addition, compensation seated in sports activities and back exercises recommended.
