Upper back pain may also be known as a stiff neck. It is a form of back pain or spinal
pain which is a much less common problem than lower back pain. Nevertheless, when it occurs, pain
in the upper part of the spine can make the neck and shoulders stiff and uncomfortable, limiting
movement.
Like lower back pain, there are many causes of pain in the upper back and often, the precise
origin of the pain is not always clear. Mechanical disruption of joints and muscles of the neck
and shoulders are perhaps the most common 'non-specific' causes, followed by muscle
or joint injuries.
Sometimes, upper back pain or a stiff neck can give rise to headaches, particularly
if the pain is in the neck.
What are the causes of upper back pain?
Just as with pain in the lower back, upper back pain can be the result of a number of
different factors. These range from something as simple as bad posture, to sudden injury
or trauma.
#1. Muscular injury or joint disruption (inflammation) – this is the most likely cause of upper
back pain. Muscular injury most often occurs in the muscles around the shoulder. The main
joint of the shoulder, the glenohumeral joint, connects the upper arm with the torso. This
joint is arguably the most manoeuvrable in the whole body – but this feature also makes
it the most unstable. To compensate for this vulnerability, the shoulder is made up of
a number of strong muscles which support the joint, but allow it a wide degree of movement.
These muscles cover the upper back and shoulder, and are very prone to injury which can, in
turn, lead to pain.
#2. Lifestyle factors – there are certain factors in your life which may contribute
to your upper back pain, by repeatedly stressing one area of your back. These factors include:
Not enough exercise, or exercising too much with the wrong technique
Being overweight Sitting for too long, particularly with incorrect
posture Lifting heavy objects
Continually high levels of stress
Other causes – there is a range of medical conditions which may result in upper back
pain. Most of these include problems with the spine, including a slipped disc, trapped
nerve, rheumatism or 'wear and tear' arthritis of the spinal joints in the neck
and thoracic (chest) vertebrae.
What are the symptoms of upper back pain? The symptoms caused by upper back pain are
very similar to those caused by lower back pain. In most cases, symptoms are not serious
and are rarely a sign of a significant underlying problem. The most common complaints are:
a dull, aching pain headaches
a pain which spreads across the shoulder blades muscle stiffness or tension
pain which gets worse at night (especially when lying in bed)
However, in rare cases, where more serious symptoms are present, it may indicate a severe
problem. These include: weakness of the arms or legs
numbness in the arms or legs incontinence
If any of these symptoms occur, you should contact your general practitioner immediately.
What treatments are there for upper back pain? If your upper back pain is due to muscular
injury or muscular strain, try applying an ice cold compress to the affected area - a
packet of frozen peas being one of the easiest options. Applying a pain relieving gel containing
conventional painkillers such as ibuprofen, or a herbal one such as Arnica gel, can help
reduce pain and restore movement in your upper back. Devil's claw can also be taken internally
for general joint pain. If pain is persistent or recurrent, you may
wish to consult a physiotherapist, osteopath, chiropractor or acupuncturist. Treatment may
include joint manipulation and manual movement so that it can be loosened and mobilised.
The course of treatment will also include exercises to perform at home and throughout
the day.
For all upper back pain, a course of painkillers will be most likely prescribed by your general
practitioner, to help ease and comfort and to aid in the course of therapy.

Alejandro Aponte Brain Pump Probe Prototyping a Brain Treatment Pump HD 720p - Duration: 2:32.
I'm Alejandro [Aponte]. I'm from Puerto Rico.
I'm actually from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez.
Even though I'm a mechanical engineering major and I've worked with
various research before developing different types of instrumentation, this is my
first time working with biological-related research.
So in our lab, we're working on a range of different types of neural implants and platforms for
diagnosing and treating neural disorders, specifically mood disorders like anxiety
and depression that affect a lot of American citizens and citizens around
the world. The critical part of this platform is we have these probes that go
into very specific neural circuits inside the brain and we want to infuse
drugs to those circuits.
So when you've made a couple weeks ago,
I know we had some part of this set up. How have you felt working with it?
Do you think you can make it better?
Definitely. Right now what I'm targeting on is how I can like control the
different aspects of the pump, trying to leave everything as static as possible.
So that'll be really important for when we want to make these smaller and
implantable, because not only do we not want movement of the needle, but we also don't
want moving of this central actuation portion.
Right so the new setup that we are looking forward to and what I'm working with the design is
instead of having like modular set-ups, so we have the electrical dock in one place
and then the tubing dock in another place separately. Where I'm looking for
was to have all of it combined so we have, we know, exactly how much initial
pressure we are putting there, and that prevents us from having bubbles
like on the long term
Okay.
which is really important.
That's actually very important for when we're building prototypes.
We want to take apart every little piece and think about
how can we make this part better and that better, and then at the end, we can put it all together.
So what we're trying to achieve here is get the set up to be as small as possible and this is
very important because the type of work that we are doing requires the pump to
being implantable, so that's our main target here.
I've worked with other research projects before and most of them were in instrumentation development.
This one is also instrumentation development which was really good. So I
was able to see the overview of the project quick and be comfortable with it.
And the cherry on top is that it is related to neural science,
which has been a topic that I've been really dying to learn.
I'm very excited to know that my work might help others'
lifestyles be better in the future.

Home Remedies for Age Spots - Aging Skin Treatment - Duration: 3:26.
Home Remedies for Age Spots Age spots, also known as liver spots or solar lentigines, are a common problem that occurs due to excessive production of melanin, or skin pigment. Typically, an excess pigment is the result of excessive exposure to the sun. These spots can also be caused by the use of tanning lamps and tanning beds. 1. Apple cider vinegar Mix equal parts raw, unfiltered apple cider and water. Add honey. Apply to affected skin, leave on for 15 to 20 minutes, then rinse. Do this once a day. In addition, add 1 or 2 teaspoons of organic apple cider to 1 glass of water. Drink once or twice a day to improve your skin as well as overall health. 2. Lemon Apply the juice of a fresh lemon to the affected skin. Let stand on the skin for 10 minutes before rinsing with warm water. Do it twice a day. If you have extra sensitive skin, dilute the lemon juice with rose water before applying it on the skin. In addition, you can squeeze the juice of 1 lemon into a bowl and add 2 to 3 tablespoons of fine sugar. Gently rub the skin with this mixture for a few minutes. Then leave on for 30 minutes and rinse the skin. Use this remedy 1 or 2 times a week. 3. Aloe Vera Break a leaf of an aloe vera plant, cut it open and extract the gel. Rub the gel at the points of your age. Let it soak on the skin for 1 hour or more. You can then lighten the skin. Repeat twice a day. 4. Castor oil Put some castor oil on the stains. Massage for 1 to 2 minutes, or until oil is completely absorbed into the skin. Leave it on for a few hours, then rinse your skin. Repeat twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. 5. Yogurt Apply a little natural yogurt directly on the dots. Allow drying on its own for about 20 minutes before rinsing with cold water. Do it two or three times a day. In addition, you can make a mask with 1 tablespoon of natural yogurt, 2 tablespoons of ground oats and 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice. Mix well the ingredients. Apply the container to the stains and let stand for 30 minutes before rinsing with cold water. Use this remedy 2 or 3 times a week. 6. Buttermilk Apply milk serum directly to affected areas. Let stand for 10 minutes before rinsing with water. Repeat 2 or 3 times a day as needed. Alternatively, mix 4 teaspoons of buttermilk and 2 teaspoons of tomato juice together. Apply this mixture on the affected skin. Let stand for 10 minutes before rinsing with water. Repeat twice a day. 7. Vitamin E Massage vitamin E oil into the affected skin for 10 to 15 minutes twice daily. Do this for a few weeks to reduce your uneven skin tone. Alternatively, extract the contents of 2 capsules of vitamin E. Add 1 teaspoon castor oil and mix well. Apply the mixture on the affected areas before going to bed, leave it on overnight and rinse the next morning. Use this remedy daily.
