Our life does not stand still, changes often occur in it, but are they all useful for our body? There are many reasons for the deterioration of his work. A sitting lifestyle included an increase in the number of different diseases.
One of the most common diseases of our time is osteochondrosis. In recent years, more than half of the population has been sick in some countries in some countries. At the same time, the age of the disease decreased to 20-30 years.
These facts make each of us think about this problem. It is necessary to have at least a minimal idea of what osteochondrosis is, which contributes to the development of the disease, how it usually manifests itself, how rationally can be prevented, and it is possible to stop the disease in the early stages of development.
Medical concept
Osteochondrosis is a common disease in which joints suffer and the cartilage between them is destroyed. In most cases, osteochondrosis influences the spine, with very serious complications due to the deformation of tissues of the intervertebral discs, which leads to pain in different parts of the body.
Reasons
There are many reasons for developing problems with the spine, especially the curvature can be done:
- Settled lifestyle. This is a "sitting" work, lack of physical activity, lack of willingness, warm -up or load. In this case, the muscle corset loses its strength, according to which the loads carried out by the spine are mainly on the intervertebral discs.
- Strong loads. Overloads are characteristic of people whose work is in the transfer of heavy loads. The incorrect back shape when lifting the severity can cause the layer of the intervertebral discs, their reduction and clamping of many nerves in this section. In addition, in the same risk group athletes who overload their bodies every day, especially the spine.
- Diseases of the spine that have already been acquired. If the Brustr region was already slightly curved but no measures were taken, there is the likelihood of osteochondrosis.
- Lack of minerals in the body. The low calcium level is one of the main causes for violating the integrity of the intervertebral discs.
Types of osteochondrosis
First, this is a cervical osteochondrosis that occurs most frequently in people with a seated lifestyle. With cervical osteochondrosis, a slight load on the neck leads to the vertebrae in connection with the ships and nerves. With this type of illness, headaches, dizziness, pain in the hands and even the deafness of the tongue occur.
The thorax osteochondrosis is a fairly rare kind of illness. The cause of his appearance can be banal scoliosis.
In this case there are no acute spine pain, but you can observe pain in the chest and region of the heart. Men with chest osteochondrosis often suffer from impotence.
With lumbar osteochondrosis, a complication in the form of an intermediate umbrella hernia in the lumbar region is possible. This type of illness is characterized by the presence of pain in the lower back and in the legs. The patient's mobility is limited: the patient is unable to rotate or to go.
Symptoms of osteochondrosis
Depending on the stage of the disease, manifestations of osteochondrosis have different signs. There are often pain in the room near the joints. In the case of osteochondrosis of the spine, the most frequently weighted and severe pain in the back and other parts of the body are noticed.
Patients often have a feeling of deafness and pain in the limbs in osteochondrosis. The symptoms are reinforced by physical exertion and gross movements. Osteochondrosis of the cervix region causes severe pain in the head both in the head and in the area of the shoulders and in the hands.
With the damage to the middle part of the vertebral column, damage to the chest (often in the heart) and pain in some internal organs will be felt.
Development stages of the disease
There are 4 stages of the course of such problems with the breast department, and each of these phases is accompanied by characteristic symptoms:
- 1-2. In the first stages of osteochondrosis of the spine, the height of the window decreases. Cracks are formed in its fibrous ring, but the process does not follow behind the intervertebral disc. The points to which the ligaments are attached to the muscles change due to a noticeable violation of the altitude height. The instability is formed due to muscles and ligaments in the motor segment of the spine. Sometimes spondylolists are formed due to the excessive mobility of neighboring vertebrae.
- 3-4. In these phases, the vertebrae protrude, which leads to significant diseases in the spine. Strong disorders often lead to hernia. During the development of osteochondrosis, the patient's body tries to compensate for the mobility of the vertebrae, osteophytes form - small bone growth. Over time, the motor segment seems to be closed in its cover.
Which methods are used for diagnosis
A timely detection of the disease in the early stages can be carried out using the modern MRI apparatus, which doctors provide more precise data on the condition of the vertebrae as X -Ray or ultrasound.
How do you treat osteochondrosis?
In the treatment of osteochondrosis, conservative methods have proven to be clear that eliminate the pain and prevent the progression of destructive processes in the structure of the spine. If such treatment did not lead to a positive result, surgical intervention may be necessary.
The duration of treatment depends on the stage of the disease, the age of the patient and on how conscientiously the patient meets the appointment and the doctor's recommendations. Most of the time, treatment as such takes about several months after the operation follows the recovery that lasts about a year.
Many people can intensify pain syndrome during treatment. The muscle system therefore reacts to unusual effects. If you want to lead to a positive result, you should show patience, perseverance and certain willpower.
After surgical interventions have been carried out, the patient is usually placed in a specialized medical center or a sanatorium where there are diagnostic and medical basics, qualified practitioners.
Conservative treatment includes methods such as physiotherapy, physiotherapy, massage, manual therapy, reflex zone massage and finally medication therapy.
Complex treatment, non -construction. It includes physiotherapy, manual therapy, massage, if necessary - spinal traction and various medication. In order to recover from osteochondrosis, physiotherapy exercises must be carried out. The result of the treatment depends on the patient and his perseverance, perseverance, willpower, patience and the great desire to recover.
Exercise therapy for osteochondrosis: management
If you start with physical exercises, you should carry out a slight warm muscles and joints.

Physiotherapy for osteochondrosis
The drug therapy often only has a limited effect and often has a negative effect on the functioning of other body systems. Therefore, physiotherapy treatment methods are actively introduced into the rehabilitation process today.
Physiotherapy is regarded as an effective treatment method because it directly influences the damaged vertebrae and significantly reduces the pain after the first session.
Allow physiotherapy:
- Limit or eliminate pain completely;
- Relax compressed muscles;
- Remove swelling caused by inflammation;
- To determine blood flow in the affected segments of the spine;
- Free the pinching nerves;
- Accelerate the processes of joint connections of the articular cartilage;
- Increase the general tone and general performance.
Depending on the type of pain (acute and subacute stages), physiotherapy specialists can be ashamed of physiotherapy specialists in physiotherapy based on mechanical, electrical, sound, lighting effects on fabric and magnetotherapy.
In cases in which it is necessary to remove pain syndrome and to provide medication into the focus of the inflammation, a number of procedures can be prescribed.
