What is the reason for the child's back pain

If a child has back pain, parents must pay attention to it. There are many reasons for children's back pain. If the waist is not kept warm, it is easy to cause back pain. However, if the back pain is more severe, it may be caused by nephritis or stones. Therefore, parents should take their babies to the hospital for a detailed examination in time and treat the symptoms after diagnosis.

In life, when it comes to low back pain, most people think that this is a common phenomenon among middle-aged and elderly people, but often ignore low back pain in teenagers. There are roughly the following reasons for this phenomenon:

First of all, there seems to be a consensus among doctors and parents: teenagers are in the stage of growth and development, and will not have degenerative diseases such as lumbar disc herniation caused by the aging of the body. They rarely suffer from urinary stones, kidney disease and other diseases that can cause low back pain. Therefore, even if low back pain occurs, it will not be a big problem and can be cured by resting for a few days, so they relax their vigilance.

Secondly, teenagers engage in a lot of physical activities in their daily lives, and when they experience back pain, parents and even doctors tend to simply think that it is a strained lower back muscle.

Again, some low back pain in adolescents is misdiagnosed as "nonspecific low back pain" because its early symptoms and test indicators are not obvious.

In addition, some parents like to simply use "growing pains" to explain their children's back pain. It must be mentioned that some parents are afraid that X-rays will affect their children's growth and development. Even if they go to the hospital for examination, they are reluctant to see the X-rays prescribed by the doctor.

It can be seen that there are so many factors that make it easy for us to "turn a blind eye" to low back pain in adolescents. However, there are several potential "killers" hiding behind these factors that are easy to "hide from the public." If they are not "detected" early, they will inevitably "cause chaos" as time goes by, seriously affecting the lives of young people.

Next, Professor Yan Yi from the Department of Neurosurgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University will give you some suggestions on preventing and treating low back pain in adolescents.

First, parents and teachers should urge young people to develop healthy living and learning habits, especially the correct study posture, and to strengthen exercise and nutrition in a reasonable manner;

Second, if you often experience low back pain, you should seek medical attention promptly and get a clear diagnosis as soon as possible;

Third, correct treatment and rehabilitation should be carried out under the guidance of a specialist, rather than blindly undergoing massage, injections, etc. without a clear diagnosis, otherwise it will delay the best treatment time and aggravate the condition.
