Oxygen Deprivation Back Pain
Oxygen deprivation is also called ISCHEMIA. Nerve Cell Oxygen DeprivationNerves are extremely sensitive to changes in cellular oxygen levels. A slight reduction can cause tingling, weakness, pain or numbness in the area served by that nerve. There are several different types of nerves. Motor nerves are often affected by oxygen deprivation by sending a reduced signal to the muscles they control. This will cause muscular weakness or trembling. Sensory nerves that are deprived of oxygen will not transmit proper sensory signals to the brain. This can produce numbness, tingling or pain. The pain might be severe if the oxygen deprivation is substantial. Autonomic nerves affected by low oxygen levels can be very problematic. These nerves control many vital processes necessary for our survival. Reduction in their ability to function can cause serious consequences for our internal organs.Nerve cell oxygen deprivation can cause many types of back pain, including sciatica or pinched nerve pain. How can oxygen deprivation pinch a nerve? Easy. Read on… Muscular Oxygen Deprivation Back PainThe muscles need oxygen to function. If they are deprived of the necessary oxygen, they will not be able to metabolize waste products, such as lactic acid. This mild reduction in oxygen will cause a dull aching pain in a large area. This is very common of chronic lower back muscle pain. If the oxygen deprivation is increased, the pain will become acute. This is the stuff that nightmares are made of !!! Severe oxygen deprivation will cause muscles to go into spasm. This can be one of the most painful experiences of a person’s life. A back muscle spasm can become so tight that it can actually impinge on a nerve and cause pinched nerve symptoms.
Causes of Oxygen Deprivation Back PainOxygen deprivation back pain is common for both physically caused and psychologically caused back pain syndromes. Muscular back pain is often the result when the blood supply to the back muscles is reduced due to an injury. This is the reason why heat and exercise help muscle pain. Both of these treatments increase blood flow and oxygen concentration to the affected area.
Smoking is a contributer to poor muscular oxygenation. Cigarette smoke contains carbon monoxide and the ingredients in cigarettes interfere with the body's ability to circulate oxygen. Psychological back pain is often the result of a purposeful reduction in oxygen supply, due to some form of emotional stress. The subconscious mind can influence the autonomic system, which controls the diameter of the blood vessels. Therefore, the amount of oxygen sent to any given area can be increased, or reduced, by the subconscious mind. Why would the subconscious mind reduce cellular oxygen supply? TO CAUSE US PHYSICAL PAIN… It is a maladaptive defense mechanism designed to protect our conscious minds from painful emotional issues. If we are focused on the physical pain, the emotional issues will stay hidden…
Oxygen Deprivation Back Pain AdviceMost physical causes of oxygen deprivation can be easily cured. Heat, exercise, and massage are all excellent ways to increase oxygen to the painful area. They will speed the healing process and eliminate poisonous waste products from the muscle cells.Psychological back pain is more complicated. Knowledge therapy is the only cure for this type of pain. No physical treatment can cure a psychologically caused pain condition. A good mental state is important regardless of what type of oxygen deprivation back pain you might have. Picture the blood flowing to the affected muscles and nerves and increasing the oxygen going to the painful cells. You might be amazed at how well this type of exercise can work… The power of the mind is so strong. It can cause pain, but it can also certainly cure it.
