übergroßer Druck sorgen dafür, dass<br />
aus Anspannung Verspannung wird.<br />
Welche Sportarten empfehlen Sie<br />
speziell Menschen mit chronischen<br />
Rückenbeschwerden?<br />
Walking ist z.B. eine ideale Form des<br />
Ausdauertrainings, das sowohl Beinals<br />
auch Rumpfmuskulatur stärkt.<br />
Empfehlenswert unter dem Aspekt<br />
der gelenkschonenden Bewegung ist<br />
der Schwimmsport und die Wassergymnastik<br />
anzusehen. Unter psychosozialen<br />
Gesichtspunkten empfehle<br />
ich das Tanzen, denn neben dem Training<br />
verschiedenster Muskelgruppen<br />
und von Herz und Kreislauf, wird<br />
durch den Paarsport auch die direkte<br />
zwischenmenschliche Interaktion<br />
älterer Menschen gefördert.<br />
Was sollte bei der Ernährung beachtet<br />
werden?<br />
Die Wirbelsäule muss stabil bleiben<br />
und braucht dafür Mineralien. Übergewicht<br />
bedeutet eine zusätzliche<br />
Belastung für Rücken und Gelenke.<br />
Kaufen Sie möglichst frische und<br />
naturbelassene Lebensmittel, am<br />
besten aus biologischer Produktion,<br />
kochen Sie selbst, genießen Sie <strong>–</strong> mit<br />
Freunden und Familie.<br />

The back bears<br />
a lot of burdens<br />
<strong>»feine</strong> <strong>adressen</strong> <strong>–</strong> <strong>finest«</strong> in conversation<br />
with Prof. Dietrich Grönemeyer<br />
from the Grönemeyer Institute for<br />
Microtherapy<br />
Why are our backs so prone to pain?<br />
Nowadays our lives are too sedentary, we<br />
move too little and do not eat a balanced<br />
diet. A majority of back problems can be<br />
traced back to a lack of exercise. Another<br />
factor is stress that causes physical tension,<br />
intended by your body to help you to cope<br />
with upcoming tasks.<br />
What types of back pain are most<br />
common today?<br />
The most frequent is localised pain accompanied<br />
by tension. This is often a sign that<br />
musculature is strained on one side, caused<br />
for example by sitting down for too long. A<br />
strong, sudden pain in the area of the lumbar<br />
spine, limited mobility and hardened<br />
muscles are often signs of lumbago.<br />
Which first aid measures do you recommend<br />
for acute back pain?<br />
Cold is the best cure for acute pain. For<br />
example, you can wrap small ice cubes in a<br />
damp cloth to make a kind of cold pack<br />
and place it on the painful area for ten<br />
minutes. Some people may tolerate heat<br />
better, which can have a similar effect.<br />
When trying to eliminate back pain,<br />
patients are quick to reach for the<br />
painkillers. Is that a good idea?<br />
Light painkillers can be useful at the<br />
beginning of a pain phase, because they<br />
help the patient to remain flexible. The<br />
medication should not be taken for more<br />
than a few days, however.<br />
How can the causes of back pain be<br />
identified and treated?<br />
First of all, it is important to find out<br />
about the otherwise generally harmless<br />
causes of back pain. The majority of acute<br />
back pain is caused by muscular tension. In<br />
such cases, patients should be motivated to<br />
exercise despite being impaired. When it<br />
comes to chronic back pain, an examination<br />
by an interdisciplinary team of doctors<br />
is very important due to the various possible<br />
causes. There are a variety of treatment<br />
options available.<br />
How does our state of mind affect our<br />
spine?<br />
The back carries a lot of burdens, both<br />
physical and mental. As is so often the<br />
case, the body and the soul are inextricably<br />
linked.<br />
