Low back pain is not only a pain in your back. The health of the spinal column is the spinal cord related to the best of your nerve fibres with all the internal organs, affecting the heart, kidneys, lungs, in the digestive tract, even in his own General state of health. You might be surprised, but also because of the depression, you may experience tragic events in their life, but only because of the destruction of the cervical vertebrae pinch the nerves connected to the brain. How to treat folk remedies of the media, is that the disease.
Osteochondrosis is the very serious nature of the nasty disease. It is often accompanied by pain in the region of the lumbosacral in one of the lower limbs. According to the latest medical information, is a major cause of back pain is degenerative (destructive) process, in the intervertebral discs. In osteochondrosis the intervertebral disc is a special cartilage structures that provide our spinal column the flexibility, the mobility becomes corrupted. When osteochondrosis progresses, irreversible changes occur in the vertebrae of the.
The causes of osteochondrosis
The causes of osteoarthritis, it is possible to set in, as is often the case, it is quite possible that the name of one of the main. The negative factors are superimposed on each other, in consequence of the disease.
With increasing age, the cartilage loses its elasticity to become less durable. This is due to the intervertebral discs as a poorly restored after the stress. The compensation of load on one side of the body, slowly but surely undermines the health of the spine: sits in an asymmetrical pose, transfer weight to one arm, keeping a particular posture for a long period of time (for example, reading while lying on one side, with the wrong pads in pads for sleeping (the head is at an angle to the body, and the body of the spring). If you can lead to bulging of the intervertebral disc in compression, which come from the corresponding vertebrae of the nerve. In that he begins the disease is associated with the distribution of power.
Malnutrition is closely linked to the drug, the cause of low back pain — obesity. The extra weight is only there is no additional load on the spine, not on the elasticity of the muscles in the decrease of the mobility. The rich content of carbohydrates for the fat content of food brings the fast-saturation, but those "empty" calories, not the body of anything useful - no vitamins, no minerals, no energy. Without the calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, the other trace elements of the cartilage in the bones to become more porous the quicker the disintegration, under the influence of a strain. So, unfortunately, it will be moral to give up the sweets, fried, baked goods and semi-finished products go to the diet consisting of fish, fresh fruit and vegetables vegetables. Moderate to it is necessary in the consumption of cereals, sunflower, in the olive oil, the cheese is in the cheese. The meat, the butter, the freshest baked goods in fatty dairy foods, salt in the coffee, should be strictly limited, and in the latter, the ideal situation is to be remedied.
The previous two reasons, a third person can join — a violation of the metabolism. Metabolism, the body has the ability to process, and absorb food, to generate energy for the building material of the cell. Typically, these processes, which is automatically controlled, such as the process of maintaining the internal balance of the mineral in the composition. Your food, your body takes exactly the amount of protein, fat, carbohydrate, vitamins, minerals in the water, as they are necessary for the normal functioning of the. If, however, there is still a deficit of some substances, disorders of protein, fat, carbohydrate, minerals in the water metabolism. The consequences of metabolic disorders, the skeletal system, that can become osteoporosis at the disposal of the salt — and frequent companions of osteoarthritis.
Flat feet, wearing uncomfortable shoes and high heels, as well as the causes of degenerative disc disease. Abnormalities in the structure of the arch of the foot, the spinal column is caused to excessively compensate for the load that is generated in the process of walking, the body weight is distributed incorrectly.
Other causes: injury to the spine in anomalies in the structure of the vertebrae of the cartilage, a sedentary lifestyle, that influence will be discussed later, the heavy physical work lifting up the heavy-duty constant, it does not give the spine the ability, to recover, the sudden suspension of the sport in the weakening of the muscular system, the stress can pinch the blood vessels in the nerves of the dates, not the brain.
The symptoms of this
If you have a need to believe that your spinal column is not in the system. the eye in that it is time to consult with a specialist for a diagnosis?
The onset of the disease can go unnoticed, sometimes the patients feel only the numbness or discomfort in a specific location of the spinal column, depending on the localization of degenerative changes.
It depends on what is to become of the spinal column, your weak link in the temptation ravages of osteoarthritis, you may experience the following symptoms.
When the cartilage between vertebrae becomes thinner in the shrivel in a hole in the narrow channel, respectively, of the vertebral artery is pinched, the brain causes the symptoms of oxygen deprivation (headache, dizziness, anxiety). During this time, you can develop a syndrome of chronic weariness, depression, a person experiences the constant lack of vitality.
And then he makes the unconscious of discomfort, you can join in with a headache within the temple, the loss of hearing and in sight when it comes to cervical degenerative disc disease.
Numbness in the pain in the movement of the hands, a girdle of pain in the chest, resulting in breast osteochondrosis.
Lumbar osteochondrosis is characterized by pain when walking, bending, recurrent pain in the pelvic joint is in joint pain, radiating into the groin into the leg.
All of these characters we're talking about the conflict with the physiological health of the spine, so it is no longer equipped to deal with its workload.
What is the meaning of the term "osteochondrosis"? Which in translation means, from the Greek osteon "bone", chondros — "cartilage", the ending-os is-it is a non- inflammatory disease but, in General, the degenerative process is the ageing of the cartilage into the bone tissue.
What is the breach, and in which is located part of the vertebral column, depending on the symptoms of osteoarthritis. They affect all areas of the spine, degenerative disc disease, which can affect the Cervical, thoracic, lumbosacral departments of the to be complicated by sciatica, spondylosis, sciatica, "lumbago", as a hernia.
Of cervical osteochondrosis
Localization of degenerative disc disease in the neck (cervical osteochondrosis) occurs quite frequently. The cervical spine suffers the most of the people who are not a repeat business from designers, programmers, secretaries, dentists, watchmakers, etc., As a rule, to the development of degenerative changes in the cervical disc disease can contribute to driving the long-term computer operation. The main characters of the symptoms of cervical degenerative disc diseases include the following: headache, dizziness, pain in the hands, chest, back pain, numbness of the tongue.
With cervical osteochondrosis often ill, sick in the dizzy, dark eyes, your blood pressure goes up. Through each of the transverse processes of the cervical vertebrae in addition to the canal for the spinal cord, the channel is the so-called vertebral arteries. It is directed in the cranial cavity in nourishing the cerebellum, vestibular apparatus, in the centre, which is located in the neck at the base of the brain. Displacement of the vertebrae of the water is not the reflex spasm of the vertebral arteries and, in severe cases the compression of the latter. Thus, it is disturbed the supply of blood to the centre over the balance of the autonomic centers that control vital processes. It is a process that is the cause of so much of the diagnosis "vegeto-vascular dystonia".
In osteochondrosis of the cervical spine can present symptoms in a radicular (radiculitis cervical): pain radiates into the arms, and sometimes into the individual fingers, they're so numb, always cold. The reason for that is a violation of the description of the impulse through the nerve fiber. The numbness of a finger, the judge of the deviation can be the particular vertebrae.
Thoracic osteochondrosis
Thoracic spine osteochondrosis very rarely affected. One of the main reasons for developing thoracic degenerative disc disease is a curvature of the spine (scoliosis). As a rule, all of the terms and conditions for the development of further thoracic osteochondrosis formed still in high school. The thoracic spine is the least mobile, so signs of the symptoms of thoracic osteochondrosis is so very different from the symptoms of cervical or lumbar degenerative disc disease. In the majority of cases, the principal differences between the thoracic osteochondrosis is no sharp pain, in the presence only of a dull, aching pain in the back.
The signs of the Symptoms of diseases of the thoracic degenerative disc include the following: chest pain, numbness, feeling of pins in needles in the chest, pain in the region of the heart, the liver, and the stomach. Very often thoracic osteochondrosis masquerades as other diseases (e.g., angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, peptic ulcer disease, gastritis).
By doing this, as such, its symptoms, and therefore, can be replaced by, for example, myocardial infarction, or pneumonia. The pain associated with degenerative disc disease of the thoracic spine, a long time, similar to the intercostal neuralgia. Sometimes it is easy to give pain under the shoulder blade, that lets you know that it's for when you catch the ' attack of the heart. The difference between the coronary diseases of the heart, in the intercostal neuralgia that in osteochondrosis of the patient is normal (or near normal) electrocardiogram, there is no symptoms, such as sudden pallor, cyanosis, semlitsch to the skin, cold perspiration, etc.
Thoracic degenerative disc disease, in addition to the fact that it is associated with a variety of painful symptoms (pain, neurological reactions), risks due to the severe adjacent and the development of diseases of the organs of the thoracic spinal cord, internal.
Lumbosacral osteochondrosis
Of the lumbar spine Osteochondrosis, osteochondrosis back is the most common. It is because of the lower back (lumbar vertebrae), usually the main burden will fall. Most often, lumbar degenerative disk disease may be complicated by a herniated disk of the lumbar spine.
The signs of the Symptoms of the disease lumbar degenerative disc include the following: low back pain (pain in the lower part of the interfere with of the back, so that a person who, for a number of years, in the way characterized by a cyclical, exacerbated in the autumn-winter period), limitation of mobility, pain in the legs. Very often, when lumbar osteochondrosis observed a sharp (shooting), or the pain of the pain in the legs, some exciting leg part (for example, to the rear of the hand or the thigh). In addition to the pain, you may need to increase or decrease the sensitivity of the skin on your feet (on the pads of the thigh or, for a touch of the pain, these symptoms osteoarthritis explained pinched of the spinal column to the roots.
The most common cause of intervertebral degenerative disc disease in the lumbosacral spine traumatic (compression fracture, or a chronic injury).
The lumbar nerve roots that form the called the sciatic nerve, nervus ischiadicus, hence the name of the problems — sciatica. If the infringement of nerve pain spreading along the nerve trunk in the region of the buttocks, below the knee, and sometimes into the calf or the heel. Higher The cases, it is important to malnutrition of the nerve trunk, and the legs go numb. The symptoms of this loss of sensitivity is very stable, and sometimes numbness in the long time it takes.
Sciatica When a man is a limp, avoiding to carry the painful weight of the body to the side, bending at the common sense way, in so far as it is possible that the push-to-talk the vertebrae in the affected part, and with this compression, the reduction of the spinal column. Over time, as a result of the healing of the pain go away or become tolerable. If the vertebrae is not reduced, continues to be a curvature of the spine. In this case, as the load on the disk that is already damaged, uneven, which leads to do to its further protrusion of the destruction.
The most unpleasant complication of lumbar-sacral osteochondrosis, instability of the vertebra. Drive not fix the bobbin is loaded, under the influence of gravity back "slide show" f the sacrum. To develop in the vicinity of the pathological processes inside the organisation. The patient is advised to perform the stretching, in accordance with the pain. If the proper procedure, to reduce pain, not increase.
The statistics of complaints to the doctor about the degenerative disc disease was low — only 20% of potential patients. The pride, Usually, when it gets unbearable. However, osteochondrosis dangerous the more so, as it seems to be at first glance. The timely access is not a doctor, and in the early stages of the development of degenerative disc disease will allow you to significantly reduce the healing time of the rehabilitation period of time.
