腰痛　夏場の腰痛

back pain

なにげない日常の動作中に、急にビキッと痛みが訪れる腰痛を感じると不安になりますよね。腰痛の季節と言うと、外気温が低い、活動力が低下する寒い冬を思い浮かべてしまう方もいるかもしれません。確かに、寒いときには、筋肉や関節まわりが固まってしまいやすいため、腰痛は起こりやすいです。しかし、夏場も腰痛は増えます。腰痛を引き起こしてしまう要因として、エアコンによる冷えがあります。また、エアコン以外でも、冷たい飲み物・食べ物、ジュースやアイスクリーム、かき氷など。適度に摂るのであればさほどの心配は要りませんが、夏は汗もかくので、冷たい物をつい口にいれてしまいます。それによって、お腹にある筋肉が冷えてしまいギックリ腰を起こすとも言われています。また、冷房が効きすぎた部屋に長時間滞在することも、血管が収縮して腰部の血行不良を招き、腰痛の危険を招きます。夏の腰痛には、体の冷えや、気圧の変化などから、腰回りの関節の動きがスムーズでなくなることから、症状が急速にに悪化してしまうことがあります。

It can be unsettling to experience back pain that comes on suddenly with a jerk during casual, everyday activities. Some people may think of cold winter, when the outside temperature is cooler and activity is reduced, as the season for back pain. Certainly, back pain is more likely to occur when it is cold, as muscles and joints around the body tend to stiffen. However, back pain also increases during the summer months. One factor that can cause back pain is the cold caused by air conditioning. In addition to air conditioning, cold drinks and foods, such as juice, ice cream, and shaved ice. If consumed in moderation, there is not much to worry about, but in summer, people tend to put cold food in their mouths because they sweat. It is said that this can cause the muscles in the abdomen to become cold, which can lead to a back injury. Staying in an over-air-conditioned room for a long time also constricts blood vessels and causes poor circulation in the lumbar region, putting you at risk for back pain. Summer back pain can rapidly worsen as a result of the cold body and changes in air pressure, which can cause the joints around the lower back to move less smoothly.
