Patients divided into several groups pain. Pain syndrome, in their opinion, is:
- periodic;
- permanent;
- single.
Causes of pain in the muscles of the back:
The development of diseases of muscles: scoliosis, osteochondrosis, arthrosis, rheumatism. They all lead to the fact that muscles get tired and it causes the person discomfort. Due to disease the discomfort appear to be trapezoidal and longitudinal muscles.
The development of diseases in the internal organs. For example, pathology in the field of the genitourinary and cardiac systems, respiratory organs, stomach and liver in the shoulder blade, upper back and chest.
The spread of the inflammatory process. Frequent disease that affects the muscles of the back is myositis. It begins with penetration of an infection into organism, destroying the connective and muscular tissue. Because of this the person appear purulent tumors. Myositis often occurs due to the fact that the man was sweating and out of draught. Often it manifests as a complication of chronic diseases, localized in the respiratory tract and lungs. In addition, he appears in injuries and bruises, rheumatism, intestinal worms, diseases of the Central nervous system of bad heredity. In the initial stages the inflammation may go on their own. However, if in later stages it is not treated, the person can intensify pain dramatically increase the body temperature, the infection will move to other region, there will be muscle atrophy. Where the person does not appear unpleasant sensations in the muscles, but their locomotor activity is impaired.
Mechanical damage and various injuries in the muscles. They usually appear in athletes after heavy physical work. Due to excessive physical activity often such people there are gaps, tears, appear the inflammation of the trapezius muscle, spasms and pain across the back.
Overexertion of the body and a sedentary lifestyle. In this case pain a person can receive when he was stationary and produced some action. At risk include office workers. They are always in an uncomfortable position. As a result, they often have muscle pain at work.
Often sore muscles after exercise in persons engaged in active sports. This includes citizens, often traveling on ships and persons traveling with tents and backpacks. This is because the back muscles under such loads too abrasive, causing mechanical injury, there is pain in the muscles. Mechanical injury often appear in children. This is because their bones are particularly mobility and they are unable to assess his physical strength. Because of this, parents need to monitor their children to exclude rupture of the ligaments.
The presence of congenital abnormalities. For example, the syndrome of short legs in humans, deformed spine, and there are pathologies in the intestine. Painful sensations are unpleasant, and they appear periodically, but due to the fact that pathology is developing rapidly, the pain the person are enhanced.
The massage or therapeutic exercises. Often patients reported that muscle pain appeared after the procedure. They can occur due to the fact that it is made incorrectly. For example, the person appointed relaxing Spa treatment, and it had a stimulating or point impact. Unpleasant sensations can arise from the fact that during the procedure arose of excessive muscle tension. The pain may occur when the person procedure was contraindicated, and he did it or he didn't know what to do. The pain is often appear when the person developing a chronic disease. If they he underwent the procedure, after 1-2 hours can have pain in the back. The presence of a low-skilled employee can lead to the onset of pain. Remember that if massage is done correctly, the pain after it occurs.
Other reasons causing pain in the muscles, is the development of special anatomical features. For example, scoliosis leads to symmetry breaking of the spine, flat feet, reduce lower limb development congenital asymmetry of the pelvis.
What to do if you have sore back muscles

- vertebrae;
- intervertebral discs;
- spinal cord;
- the trunks and roots of spinal nerves;
- the veins and arteries;
- capillaries, ligaments and muscles.
In addition, osteochondrosis develops on the background:
- spondylitis;
- ankylosing spondylitis;
- arthritis;
- osteoarthritis;
- scoliosis.
The risk of osteoarthritis in that it leads to degenerative lesions and destruction of bone tissue, intervertebral discs and articular cartilage.
The reasons for the development of osteoarthritis following:
- heredity;
- eating the wrong foods;
- weight;
- injuries might in the future lead to the development of serious diseases.
- roots, soft tissue and muscles, blood vessels;
- sedentary lifestyle;

Additional diagnostic techniques that are used in identifying in a person the symptoms of the disease include:
- X-ray — determines the pathologies localized in the skeletal system.
- MRI — evaluates the affected area muscles.
- Puncture — finds parasitic lesions.
- Using ECG to evaluate the heart system.
The patient will need to take a blood test and urine. They can be used to determine the development of the inflammatory process in the body.
Treatment
