Osteochondrosis- Spine disease, a characteristic characteristic of the degenerative-dystrophic lesion of intervertebral disks, and then the vertebrae itself.
The main sign of osteochondrose is neck pain or back. Among other symptoms, muscle atrophy, weakened sensitivity, disorders in the work of the internal authorities. Depending on the localization of the pathological process, Greek and lumbar osteochondrose are relieved. If this disease and its treatment do not cry the necessary attention, the spine damage process will be irreversible.
In the English literature, the term "osteochondrosis" means such a group of diseases of the muscle-bone system, such as osteochondropathy.
The main factor or cause that leads to the development of osteochondrose, is an uneven degree distribution, which occurs when carrying in a single hand or shoulder weights, a long stay in a sitting position, a night's rest on an uneven mattress or pillow. Additional factors can also be a sitting lifestyle, obesity, injuries and flat feet.
All of the above situations over the years lead to frequent pain in the Greek, chest or sacral spine.
According to statistics, osteochondrosis occurs from 40 to 90% of the world's population, mostly 30-35 years. In unfavorable conditions, this disease develops in the people of adolescence, which most often contributes to the worship of a severe unpleasant backpack, especially on one shoulder, unpleasant shoes and injuries.
Development of osteochondrose
Development of osteochondrose occurs in 4 selected phases (degrees):
Osteochondrosis 1. Phases.It is characterized by the beginning of the pathological process in the Uzum PolyPOSE intervectral disk - its dehydration (dehydration) occurs, and the amount of disk later and the amount of disk decreases. At the same time, cracks begin to appear in a fibrous ring. At this stage, the patient usually does not feel any changes. Uneasiness can manifest an unusual position for a person or active exercise.
Osteochondrosis 2 stages.With the reduction of the disk height, the distance between neighboring vertebrae also decreases, and vertebrates and ligaments start to bend slightly. This process leads to ultrevision of two neighboring vertebrae, which can lead to slipping and / or moving. Spondylolistz is formed. Due to displaced spines, the patient feels real discomforts on a particular load, and sometimes it hurts in the field of pathology.
Osteochondrosis 3 phases.It is characterized by the creation of prolapos and disk protrusions, sometimes subbruxation and arthrosis appear in interfaced compounds. The patient can feel stiff in some movements, feeling tingling in the limbs, sometimes numbness occurs. At 3. the degree of osteochondrosis, pain in the back, neck and coccyx, depending on the localization of the disease, but is present.
Osteochondrosis 4 phases.The body tries to correct the excessive mobility of vertebral, as well as the normalization of the functioning of the spine. At the point of merging vertebrae with pathology, bones of neoplasms grow on each of them - osteophytes, which, when formed at an unnecessary place can cause a microtraw to the nerve spine, and sometimes neighboring religious vertebra. In discs and joints, the processes of fibrous anchylos can begin. The motor segment is overgrown and becomes as if the wall is. At the same time, the main signs of osteochondrosis are minimized, and sometimes generally, practically not noticeable.
Symptoms of osteochondrose
The main symptoms of osteochondrosis are discomfort and pain in the back or neck. Power strength and other related signs of this disease depend on the stage of osteochondrose.
Of course, due to the pathology of interfoodbral disks, their roots (osteophytes), there are a large number of disorders, nurturing nerves, irritation and violations in the normal functioning of spine, edema, and even fibrosis of vertebrae that surround the vertebrae. All these disorders may cause a comprehensive clinical picture of the disease, and to express itself with a large amount of different symptoms, without a fundamental diagnosis of osteochondrose, it is very difficult to make a correct diagnosis and prescribe adequate treatment.
However, we will consider the main symptoms of osteochondrose:
- back pain, thunderland, lower back, shoulders, and even ribs;
- discomfort, the stiffness of the back with some movements, raising something;
- stiffness of limbs (weapons and / or legs);
- a sense of pain in arms and legs, cold;
- muscle cramps;
- Disorders in the work of the genitals;
- Headaches, dizziness;
- heart pain;
- impaired sensitivity;
- muscular hypotension;
- Increased fatigue, sometimes an eye.
In addition, depending on the area of the spine in which the Osteochondrosis differs, the following symptoms are respected:
Osteochondrosis of the spine of the spine.Pain in the hands and shoulders predominate, headaches, dizziness, "flies" or stains in front of the eyes, noise in the head. These signs may also indicate the presence of vertebrae syndrome, which can also complicate the work of heart muscles and the blood vessels myocardium, if other diseases are present in them.
Osteochondrosis of thoracic spine.Chest pain, heart surface and breathing discomfort prevail.
Osteochondrosis of lurbosacral spine.The lower back pain prevails, giving legs or pelvic organs. Breach of sexual function.
Complications of osteochondrose
If osteochondrosis is not treated and placed on the slot, it can lead to the development of the following diseases and pathology:
- an intervertebral disk of the hernia (raining spine);
- protrusion;
- Kiphosis;
- radiculitis;
- Deposit in the space between the salt vertebrae;
- Stroke of the spinal cord;
- loss of the weight of limbs and their atrophy;
- Sales of your legs.
Causes of osteochondrose
- Mechanical trauma back (spine);
- Physical overvoltages of the body, hard work;
- Nerve exhaustion, stress;
- Breach of metabolism, poisoning;
- Frequent stay in places with increased vibration;
- hereditary predisposition;
- Sedentary lifestyle, sitting work;
- Breach of holding at an early age;
- surplus weight, obesity;
- Flat feet;
- Wearing unpleasant shoes (cramped, Pete);
- Night break on an uncomfortable bed - mattress, pillow;
- Frequent dehydration;
- inferior nutrition, hypovitaminosis;
- smoking;
- Pregnancy.
Classification of osteochondrose
The classification of osteochondrose is very diverse, because the disease itself is not fully studied.
We single out the most popular ways to separate this disease.
Osteochondrosis differs. . .
Localization:
- Cervical Department ©
- Thoracic Region (TH or D)
- Lumbar (L)
- Sacral department (s)
Osteochondrose diagnosis
Osteochondrose diagnosis includes the following test methods:
- anamnesis;
- X -Ray examination (x -ray);
- myelography;
- Neurological examination.
I can name this:
- Computer Tomography (CT);
- Nuclear-magnetic resonance imaging (jamr);
- Magnetic resonance tomography (MRI).
Healing osteochondrose
Treatment Osteochondrosis means the use of sets of measures that must be performed for a quite long period of time (from 1-3 months + for rehabilitation), which many patients react very ambiguous. It should therefore be noted that, indirectly, doctor's attendance recommendations, the patient recovery forecast is minimal.
An additional problem in the treatment of osteochondrose often becomes self-immedia. The fact is that, as already written in the article, with this disease, the clinical picture is rather ambiguous and wide. The patient without diagnostics begins to choose medications against what pain and eliminating pain, then deals with its daily life, while the disease is still advancing.
The treatment of osteochondrose is performed by two main methods: conservative and surgical treatment. In addition, there are general recommendations in the treatment of osteochondrose, such as nutrition, rehabilitation.
Conservative osteochondrose treatment
The conservative treatment of osteochondrose is focused on stopping pain syndrome, normalization of spine and its components, as well as the prevention of further dystrophical change in the "person's axis".
Conservative osteochondrose treatment includes:
Drug therapy.It is used to relieve pain and inflammation of the tissue spine components, as well as the normalization of metabolic processes.
To stop the pain and inflammation process, various therapeutic blockade is also used. In addition, they contribute to reducing muscle tonic syndrome. Among the therapeutic blockade there are: Blockage of trigger points, as well as intra-bones, paramper and epidural blockages.
Physiotherapy.It is used to relieve pain, improving the efficiency of drug therapy and in the rehabilitation period. Treatment is performed using ultrasound, laser, magnetic fields, low frequency currents, etc.
Medical physical education (exercise therapy), kinesitherapy.Specially selected, dosed exercise focused on correction of muscle corset, strengthening, adhesion corrections, the normalization of muscle tissue and their flexibility, nerve root decompression, preventing possible disease compensation. All of the above was achieved due to the normalization of metabolism and nutrition of intervelling discs, blood circulation, renew the distance of disks and vertebrae, distribution of cargo to the entire musculoskeletal system.
Massage.It is used to improve blood circulation, mitigation of stiffness and tension of muscle tissue, improve the general state of health.
Hydromassage.Contributes to the normalization of blood circulation, metabolism, increasing muscle tons of tons and normalization of the nervous system. It implies body massage with the help of a stream of water with a certain pressure on it. True, hydromassage prevails recently using air bubbles delivered to the body in specially equipped baths or pools.
Hand therapy.It is used according to the individual selected program, a varied impact on the bones of the muscle system. It helps improve the cycle of blood and cycles, metabolism, muscle-bone system mobility, strengthen the immune system and prevent possible complications.
Extension (towing) spine.It is used using special equipment for increasing the intervertebral space, correction of spine structure, which usually leads to minimizing or fully mitigating pain.
Integrated use of the upper treatment for osteochondrose has a good effect.
Osteochondrose diet
With osteochondrose, it is necessary to eat 6 times a day, in small portions, daily drink at least 1, 5 liters of water.
What can be eaten with osteochondrose:Dairy products, varieties with low meat variants, jelly, flooded fish, milk vegetables, arc, carrots, celery, broccoli, sunflower, spinach, mushrooms, cereals.
What should be minimized in osteochondrose food:Grapes, legumes (peas, beans, etc. ), flour products, spicy spices, sugar, salty food, meat soups and smoked meat.
It is better to cook food, because with this method of preparation, the products retain the maximum amount of vitamins and trace elements.
Try for seasonal salads with olive oil.
Osteochondrose treatment treatment
The surgical treatment of osteochondrose is used if the conservative method is inefficient. Prescribed by a doctor attending. It can also be used for heavy spinal lesions and its components.
Treatment of osteochondrosis with folk drugs
