Our life is not stopped, changes usually occur in it, but are all useful to our body? There are many reasons for deteriorating your work. Therefore, a sedentary lifestyle implies 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 is sick in some countries in some countries. At the same time, the age of the disease has decreased to 20 to 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, as it usually manifests, as it can be avoided and it is possible to interrupt 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 affects the spine, where, as a result of intervertebral disk tissues, very severe complications appear, which leads to 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" work, lack of physical activity, lack of will to perform heat or hot load. In this case, muscle score loses its strength, after which the loads made by the spine are mainly in the intervertebral discs.
- Strong loads. Overloads are characteristic of people whose work consists of transferring heavy loads. The wrong rear shape when lifting gravity can cause intervertebral discs stratification, reduction and pinching many nerves located in this section. In addition, in the same risk group, athletes who overload their body daily, in particular, the spine.
- Has already acquired spinal diseases. If the thoracic region has already been slightly bent, but no measures have been taken, there is a probability of osteochondrosis.
- Mineral deficiency in the body. Low calcium level is a major cause of violation of intervertebral discs integrity.
Types of osteochondrosis
First, this is cervical osteochondrosis, which usually occurs in people with a sedentary lifestyle. With cervical osteochondrosis, a slight load in the neck leads to the fact that the vertebrae are displaced, in connection with which the vessels and nerves are squeezed. It is with this kind of disease that headaches, dizziness, hand pain and even numbness of the tongue occur.
Toracic osteochondrosis is a rare type of disease. The cause of your appearance can be banal scoliosis.
In this case, there are no acute pain in the spine, but you can observe chest and heart pain. Men with mammary osteochondrosis usually suffer from impotence.
With lumbar osteochondrosis, a complication in the form of an intervertebral hernia in the lower back is possible. This type of disease is characterized by the presence of pain in the lower back and legs, the patient's mobility is limited: the patient is not able to rotate or tap.
Osteochondrosis symptoms
Manifestations of osteochondrosis have different signs, depending on the stage of the disease. Often there is pain in space near the joints. With spinal osteochondrosis, weighting pain and intense backs and other body parts are noticed.
Often, with osteochondrosis, patients have a feeling of numbness and pain in the limb. Symptoms are improved by physical effort and gross movements. Cervical osteochondrosis causes intense pain in the head as well as shoulder and hands.
Also, with damage to osteochondrosis of the middle part of the spine, chest pain (usually in the heart) and pain in some internal organs are felt.
Stages of disease development
There are 4 stages of the course of such problems with the chest department, and each of these stages is accompanied by characteristic symptoms:
- 1-2. In the early stages of spine osteochondrosis, the height of the disc support decreases. The cracks are formed in their fibrous ring, but the process does not follow behind the intervertebral disc. The points to which the ligaments, the muscles are stuck, change due to a noticeable view of height. Instability is formed due to flabby muscles as well as ligaments in the motor segment of the spine. Sometimes, due to the excessive mobility of neighboring vertebrae, spondyloralists are formed.
- 3-4. In these stages, the vertebrae project themselves, which leads to considerable disorders in the spine. Strong disorders usually lead to hernia. During the development of osteochondrosis, the patient's body tries to compensate for vertebrae mobility, osteophytes form - small bone growth. Over time, the motor segment appears to be closed in its shell.
Which methods are used for diagnosis
Oporttoal detection of the disease in the early stages can be performed using the modern magnetic resonance imaging, which provides doctors more accurate data on the state of vertebrae than rays or ultrasound.
How to treat osteochondrosis?
In the treatment of osteochondrosis, conservative methods have proven well, which are designed to eliminate pain and prevent the progression of destructive processes in the spine structure. If this treatment has not led to a positive result, surgical intervention may be required.
The duration of treatment depends on the stage of the disease, the patient's age and how consciously the patient fulfills the appointment and recommendations of the doctor. Most of the time, such treatment takes about several months after surgery, it follows the recovery, which lasts about a year.
In the treatment process, many people can intensify pain syndrome. Therefore, the muscle system reacts to unusual effects. If you want treatment to lead to a positive result, you should show patience, perseverance and a certain willpower.
After surgical intervention was performed, the patient is usually placed in a specialized medical center or sanatorium, where there are diagnostic and medical bases, qualified professionals.
Conservative treatment includes methods such as physical therapy, physiotherapy, massage, manual therapy, reflexology and, finally, drug therapy.
Complex treatment, non -construction. Includes physiotherapy, manual therapy, massage, if necessary - spinal traction and take various medications. To recover from osteochondrosis, it is necessary to engage in physical therapy exercises. The result of treatment depends on the patient and his perseverance, perseverance, willpower, patience and a great desire to recover.
Officer Exercise Therapy: Management
Starting with exercise, you should perform a light and hot -up of muscles and joints.

Physiotherapy for osteochondrosis
Drug therapy usually gives a limited effect and usually has a negative effect on the functioning of other body systems. Therefore, today the physiotherapeutic methods of treatment are actively introduced into the rehabilitation process.
Physiotherapy is considered an effective treatment method as it affects direct damaged vertebrae and significantly reduces pain after the first session.
Physiotherapy allow:
- Limit or completely eliminate pain;
- Relax the compressed muscles;
- Remove swelling caused by inflammation;
- Establish blood flow in the affected segments of the spine;
- Free the nerves they bought;
- accelerate joint cartilage joint processes;
- Increase tone and overall performance.
Depending on the nature of pain (acute and subacute internships), damage to either department, the causes of disease development, physiotherapy specialists can prescribe physiotherapy, based on mechanical, electric effects, sound, tissue lights, magnetotherapy.
In cases where pain syndrome must be removed and provide medications to the focus of inflammation, a set of procedures can be prescribed.
