Chronic Lumbago
Chronic Lumbago is mild to severe pain or discomfort in the area of the lower back that has lasted for more than 3 months. It is common among younger people who engage in hard physical work and also among people of retirement age.
Symptoms include:
- Mild to severe pain across the lower part of the back, which sometimes travels into the buttocks.
- A stiff neck, due to muscle spasm.
- Difficulty in bending forward and leaning back.
- A possible change in posture due to the severe pain and spasms.
- A tingling sensation or a feeling of numbness in the back, buttocks or down along one or both legs.
What causes it?
Identifying the exact cause of lumbago is very difficult. It can be caused by a variety of conditions such as a slipped disc, scoliosis, osteoporosis or, more rarely, by tumours or infection in the spinal area. It is usually only possible to pinpoint the exact cause of lumbago in about 30% of cases. The majority of those where another cause is not found are believed to be due to muscle sprain.
Chronic Lumbago Treatment
The prospects for sufferers of lumbago are good provided early treatment is sought and the patient remains as active as possible. Treatments include physiotherapy, a graded exercise programme and swimming. Some people with chronic low back pain find massage helpful. BAXOLVE™ can control the pain enabling you to exercise thereby preventing exacerbation of the problem.
How BAXOLVE™ Can Help
Pain Gate Control: TENS programmes one and two will provide you with a comfortable tingling sensation. This masks the pain, providing you with immediate pain relief. This is recommended if you are experiencing severe, acute pain.
Endorphin Release: TENS programmes three and four use endorphin release. Endorphins are the human body’s own natural pain relieving hormones, released from the pituitary gland in the brain where pain is experienced. You will experience a comfortable tapping sensation. Endorphins remain circulating in the body after treatment has ceased providing residual pain relief. This makes it most appropriate if you are experiencing dull, aching, chronic back pain.
The BAXOLVE™ Belt: Works by supporting the spinal and abdominal muscles. Lumbar support when applied firmly and comfortably assists lower back pain by helping to restrict painful movements. This improves posture and positional awareness. The belt also provides warmth to the affected area by stimulating local circulation, generating a feeling of well-being.
BAXOLVE™ Optional Accessories
With the addition of the optional leads and pads you can use the BAXOLVE TENS unit on other areas where pain may be present such as buttocks and legs. Simply place the pads over the site of pain to activate immediate and ongoing pain relief from the programmes mentioned above.
This Combination: Two proven therapies, TENS and lumbar support, will provide you with breakthrough technology to combat your back pain
