Our life does not stop, changes often happen in it, but are they all useful for our body? There are many reasons for the deterioration of your work. Then, a sedentary lifestyle implied an increase in the number of various 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 minimum idea of what osteochondrosis is, which contributes to the development of the disease, since it generally manifests, how rational it 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 the joints suffer, and the cartilage is destroyed between them. In most cases, osteochondrosis affects the spine, where, as a result of the deformation of intervertebral discs tissues, very serious complications appear, which causes pain in various parts of the body.
Reasons
There are many reasons for the development of problems with the spine, in particular, curvature can arise due to:
- Sedentary lifestyle. This is a "sedentary" job, lack of physical activity, lack of will to do hot or load. In this case, the muscle corset loses its strength, after which the loads carried out by the spine are mainly found in the intervertebral discs.
- Strong loads. Overloads are characteristic of people whose work consists of transferring heavy loads. The incorrect form of the back when lifting gravity can cause the stratification of intervertebral discs, their reduction and pinch of many nerves located in this section. In addition, in the same risk group, athletes that overload their body daily, in particular, the spine.
- Diseases already acquired from the spine. If the thoracic region was already slightly curved, but no measures were taken, there is a probability of osteochondrosis.
- Mineral deficiency in the body. The low level of calcium is one of the main causes of violation of the integrity of the intervertebral discs.
Types of osteochondrosis
First, this is cervical osteochondrosis, which occurs more frequently in people with a sedentary lifestyle. With cervical osteochondrosis, a slight load in the neck leads to the fact that the vertebrae move, in relation to which the vessels and nerves are squeezed. It is with this type of disease that headaches, dizziness, hand pain and even numbness of the tongue.
Thoracic osteochondrosis is a rather rare type of disease. The cause of its appearance can be banal scoliosis.
There are no acute spinal pains in this case, but you can observe the pain in the chest and the region of the heart. Men with sine osteochondrosis often suffer helplessness.
With lumbar osteochondrosis, a complication in the form of intervertebral hernia in the lumbar region is possible. This type of disease is characterized by the presence of pain in the lower back and legs, patient mobility is limited: the patient cannot turn or bow.
Symptoms of osteochondrosis
The manifestations of osteochondrosis have different signs depending on the stage of the disease. There is often pain in space near the joints. With the osteochondrosis of the column, weighting and severe pain in the back and other parts of the body are more frequently noticed.
Often, with osteochondrosis, patients have a feeling of numbness and pain in the limbs. Symptoms are improved by physical effort and gross movements. The osteochondrosis of the cervical region causes severe pain in the head, as well as in the shoulder area and in the hands.
In addition, with damage to the osteochondrosis of the middle part of the spine, pain is felt in the chest (often in the heart) and pain in some internal organs.
Stages of disease development
There are 4 stages of the course of such problems with the department of chests, and each of these stages is accompanied by characteristic symptoms:
- 1-2. In the early stages of the spine osteochondrosis, the height of the disc is decreasing. The cracks are formed in their fibrous ring, but the process does not follow the intervertebral disc. The points to which the ligaments are joined, the muscles change due to a remarkable violation of the height. Instability is formed due to fallen muscles, as well as ligaments in the spine motor segment. Sometimes, due to the excessive mobility of neighboring neighbors, spondylolists are formed.
- 3-4. In these stages, the vertebra stood out, which leads to considerable disorders 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 engine segment seems to be closed in its housing.
What methods are used for diagnosis?
The timely detection of the disease in the early stages can be carried out using the modern magnetic resonance resonance system, which provides the doctors with more precise data on the state of the vertebrae that X -Ray or ultrasound.
How to treat osteochondrosis?
In the treatment of osteochondrosis, conservative methods have demonstrated well, which are designed to eliminate 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 required.
The duration of treatment depends on the disease stage, the patient's age and how conscientiously the patient meets the doctor's appointment and recommendations. Most of the time, treatment as such has been about several months, after surgery, continues to recovery, which lasts approximately one year.
In the treatment process, many people can intensify pain syndrome. Then the muscle system reacts for unusual effects. If you want the treatment to lead to a positive result, it must show patience, perseverance and some willpower.
After performing the surgical intervention, the patient is usually placed in a specialized medical center or sanatorium, where there are diagnostic bases and doctors, qualified professionals.
Conservative treatment includes methods such as physiotherapy, physiotherapy, massage, manual therapy, reflexology and, finally, pharmacological therapy.
Complex treatment, not construction. Includes physiotherapy, manual therapy, massage, if necessary, spinal traction and taking several medications. To recover from osteochondrosis, it is necessary to participate in physiotherapy exercises. The result of the treatment depends on the patient and his perseverance, perseverance, willpower, patience and a great desire to recover.
Exercise therapy for osteochondrosis: management
Starting with physical exercises, it must carry out a slight warm of muscles and joints.
When painful symptoms appear after class, you should immediately consult a doctor.
The correct execution of LFK movements in the Osteochondrosis Mama is below very important, since these actions contribute to a decrease in the pain and suspension of the progression of the disease.

Slowly be inclined forward, then leaning with blades on the back of the chair, bends.
Physiotherapy for osteochondrosis
Pharmacological therapy often gives a limited effect and often has a negative effect on the functioning of other body systems. Therefore, today, physiotherapeutic treatment methods are actively introduced into the rehabilitation process.
Physiotherapy is considered an effective method of treatment, since it affects the damaged vertebrae directly and significantly reduces pain after the first session.
Physiotherapy Allow:
- limit or completely eliminate pain;
- relax compressed muscles;
- eliminate swelling caused by inflammation;
- establish blood flow in the affected segments of the column;
- release the nerves that pinch;
- Accelerate joint cartilage joint processes;
- Increase the general tone and performance.
Depending on the nature of pain (acute and subacute stages), damage to one or another department, the causes of disease development, physiotherapy specialists can prescribe physiotherapy, according to mechanical, electrical, sound and light effects on tissue, magnetotherapy.
In cases where it is necessary to eliminate pain syndrome and deliver medications to the inflammation approach, a set of procedures can be prescribed.
