The spine, such as the disease of the human species, or the osteocondrosis of the "civilization disease", is a immediacy in which the full structure of the spine and intervertebral discs increases significantly.A modern, sedentary lifestyle only exacerbates the situation.It is unlikely that there is an adult who has not experienced some form of osteochondrosis.Therefore, the issues of the treatment and where treatment of osteochondrosis do not lose their relevance.
Four -fifths of all rear pains are caused by osteochondrosis.And for treatment expenses, this is not lower with cardiovascular disease or influenza.
Reasons
When a person reaches the middle age in the intervertebral discs, a vascular channel develops and is therefore nutritional according to the principle of diffusion.This is particularly complicated by the regeneration of intervertebral discs after excessive or asymmetric loads and micro and macro injuries.
Foods are eliminated or irrational, foods add "oil" to the fire and intervertebral cartilage without getting the necessary nutrients, gradually losing strength and elasticity and deforming.
Unfortunately, the exact causes of osteochondrosis have not been determined today, so it is generally accepted that this is a certain risk factor, including:
- Disorders of the body's metabolic processes;
- Genetic predisposition;
- Weak physical development, violation of posture and flat legs, other disorders of the muscle bone system;
- Infectious diseases and intoxication;
- The spine microtrauma due to falls, stroke, sudden movements and excessive loads due to the same type of asymmetric movements;
- The spine macro trauma due to fractures and bruises;
- Inadequate nutrition, sedentary lifestyle and overweight leading to a lack of fluid, vitamins and trace elements;
- Stressful conditions and smoking leading to cramps and reducing blood vessels;
- Meteorological conditions with low temperatures and high air humidity.
There are many reasons for the development of osteochondrosis, and each one or by the result of a bad lifestyle, whose hostage is increasingly becoming a man of modern society.
Preventing osteochondrosis
Obviously, the best prevention of osteochondrosis is rational nutrition and physical education that are between classes:
- The lower back, the back and the limbs are a morning massage of the limbs.
- Hygienic gymnastics, flying with arms and legs, jumping into place, head rotation, classes on the horizontal bars.
- A five-minute physical education break at work with 7-9 exercises.
- Swimming in the pool, especially on the back.
Of course, if you fail to prevent prevention, this list of exercises should be expanded with therapeutic exercises that provide the spinal canal techniques.
The power of osteochondrosis should contain a large amount of protein, except for fungal foods, animal fats, the first foods - primarily vegetarian, second foods - steamed or oven, snacks - primarily floods, low -fat sauce, spices and spices.Salt and salted products (herring, salmon, winter homework), sugar, flour, butter and other sweets, grape and juice, strong coffee and tea, alcohol and smoking are sharply limited.
The weight of the daily diet should usually not exceed 2 kg, the liquids - 1 liter and kilocalories - 2600 units.The daily diet is calculated daily for frequent meals.
If analyzes show the lack of certain vitamins and trace elements, they will continue to write.
Diagnosis of osteochondrosis
Depending on the location of the localization, osteochondrosis may be:
- Cervical (25% of cases) - Pain of hands and shoulders, spinal arterial syndrome with further potential development of headaches, when the ear is noise, "flies" and colored spots in the eyes, easy dizziness.
- Chest spine- - the pain arises like a "stake" in the chest, the pain "shoots" into other organs: heart, lungs, stomach.
- Lumbosacral spine (50% of the cases) - the pain in the lower back, which sometimes involves the sensitivity of the legs, the sacrum and the groin in the groin and the sensitivity of the muscles of the lower limbs.
- Common (12% of cases) - a combination of osteochondrosis of several classesAnd therefore - the most serious form of this disease.
In the right parts of the spine, the feeling of pain, pain and numbness of the limbs, pain in various organs and muscles, osteochondrosis are other symptoms: muscle cramps, reduction of freedom of movement and increased pain during coughing or sneezing, additional loads and sharp turns.
A preliminary diagnosis is made on the basis of both the above symptoms and an initial examination by a physician who monitors the patient's spine - lying, standing, sitting - in a state of movement and relaxation, after the patient is sent to the hardware diagnosis to confirm and clarify or refute the diagnosis.The main types of spinal examination are MRI, computer tomography, radiography and ultrasound dopplerography of the main arteries of the brain.
After a thorough examination, related diseases are also detected, which are complications of osteochondrosis: hernia - spine and vertebrae, intervertebral disc, radiculite and kyphosis.
The quality of the diagnosis is extremely important because many symptoms of osteochondrosis are necessarily the same as the symptoms of other diseases, and the pain sources can be both spinal root or damaged intervertebral disc.
Treatment of osteochondrosis
But the diagnosis follows the treatment followed by two types -Conservative And Functional - Depending on the negligence and severity of the disease and the presence of internal resources, other indications and contraindications.
In many severe cases, it is impossible to do without surgery, in others the conservative treatment is warranted.However, only highly trained doctors can choose the right choice and sometimes consult their consultation.
Conservative treatment and subsequent rehabilitation require a comprehensive approach, which means the use of many methods for various sectors of medicine.Modern medicine in most cases reduces conservative treatment and postoperative rehabilitation to two things: medication and hardware treatment.At the same time, we observe the full underestimation of the body's own resources, as well as the patient's absence, as if the patient's active involvement in the cure cannot occur. Such "passive" treatment and rehabilitation are always longer and sometimes unsuccessful.
At the same time, conservative treatment and postoperative rehabilitation must contain a variety of different methods, such as:
- Practical therapy - therapeutic gymnastics exercises;
- Isometric kinezotherapy;
- Manual therapy;
- Reflexology;
- Underwater hydromassage;
- Unloading treatment based on elimination of the spine;
- Magneto, electrical and vibro stimulation;
- Ultrasound and laser therapy;
- Therapeutic diet
- Psychotherapy;
- Drug treatment.
By properly selecting and combining many therapeutic methods, drug treatment can be relocated to the last place and can be used in minimal volume or at an aggravation phase.
Classes combined with a psychologist, combined with exercise therapy, and force people to believe in their own strength and actively participate in healing or postoperative recovery.
Manual and hydromassage, reflexology not only improves blood circulation, relieves pain syndromes, but also awakens the body's internal forces.
Undervaluation of the dietary role can minimize the effectiveness of medication, as the individual and properly selected diet allows you to saturate the cells of the body with the necessary nutrients, trace elements and vitamins, preventing concomitant complications with other organs, as well as aggravating diseases such as diabetes,
And however, medication is still needed, usually involving several therapies:
- Anti -inflammation;
- Antispasmodic;
- Antioxidant;
- Stimulation of blood microcirculation;
- Correction of psychosomatic disorders and prevention of cartilage tissue degeneration.
So we summarize: post -surgery rehabilitation and conservative treatment of osteochondrosis in special classes of public clinics in most cases deprive patients with comprehensive healing treatment and such home treatment causes additional problems.The thing is, the patient is at least confronted with the patient's attempt at home rehabilitation::
- Lack of medical equipment - orthopedic beds, simulators, physiotherapy tools or simply necessary for physiotherapy;
- It discovers that it is incapable of itself, and self -extending and self -infection, which is the quintensence of recreational techniques: it cannot fundamentally observe sleep systems, awakening, medicines, medical processes and nutrition for a long time.
- He feels that there is no diet and cooking skills that allow the recipe to be set up, the right to select the right, and to distribute the daily diet, whose violation can violate the effectiveness of other health methods.
Therefore, it is best to undergo healing treatment in special hospitals and rehabilitation centers specializing in comprehensive rehabilitation and conservative treatment of osteochondrosis.
