The bone and cartilage tissue of one or more spinal departments are destroyed by osteocondrosis of the spine.This disease is chronic and develops in almost all ages.This is due to the usual aging of the body.
Intervertebral disks are subject to atrophic changes, and this age depends on many factors that will happen:
- Injuries;
- Diseases and overload of spine.
Excessive loading of spine applies to:
- Walk with the curved back;
- proper seat;
- Features of the structure of the spinal column;
- Insufficient food of spine tissues due to hereditary anomalies.
Osteocondrosis loses part of nuclear water located between the vertebrates.Therefore, metabolic diseases in nuclear and various minerals are concerned and difficult to access various minerals and vitamins.
After a while, cracks to the disk appears straight.Next, nearby joints and ligaments begin to be affected, forming inflammation of tissue.Due to inflammation, a displacement of neighboring vertebraes occurs.This is dangerous for the appearance of radical symptoms: pain along the affected nerve.
The appearance of the intervertebral tear is also possible, which in turn can cause the spinal cord.Osteochondrosis is characterized by the appearance of osteophylls - bone growth in vertebral bodies.These growths can squeeze the spinal cord and cause roser syndrome.
Most cervical and waist parts are subject to osteocondrosis.
Cervical osteocondrosis
Reasons:
- Sports activity (weightlifting);
- Weight excess weight;
- metabolic violation;
- Seated work (programmers, accountants, drivers, etc.);
- Straight legs;
- spinal injuries;
- Hypothermia.
Symptoms
The main symptoms of the osteocondrosis of cervical spine are pain in the head and neck.The person is a severe headache, anxious to take pain in the neck, taking pain in the sternum.Patient can complain of shelters - a sharp pain in the neck, spasmes of muscle muscles and limitation of movement.
You can also hear a crisis when a human beings turn your neck.Due to the bathing of nerves and blood vessels, a person may have a tip of your language and your fingers.The patient will complain to increase weakness in the muscles of blood pressure and legs and legs of hearing and vision.
Thorakal osteocondrosis
This type is pretty rare osteocondrosis.This is due to the anatomical structure of the thoracic spine.It consists of 12 vertebrae connecting to the ribs for compounds.Closes by the sternum in front of the ribs.Thus, the domestic organs are created by a great framework of the spine, sternum and ribs that protect various injuries.
There are a small height and long spicy processes located on top of the other like a tile in the torakic area.This is a small mobility for this structure.The intervertebral discs of the Torak region were rarely injured.
Reasons for this type of osteocondrosis:
- irrational load spread;
- delay in the diet of intervertebral discs;
- Sedentary work;
- The presence of scoliosis.
Symptoms
As in other species, the leading symptom of osteocondrosis of the thoracum region is pain.
But the pain can be different with the thoracic osteocondrosis.Dorsalgia - Long anxiety and weak pain along the chest vertebrae.Pain can affect cervical and waist regions.
Dorsago is one of the signs of osteocondrosis of the thoracum region, which is in pain.In nature, it is difficult to breathe in a tight, sharp, breathing, and cause limitation to muscle movements.In addition to pain, patients can be an impaired feeling of pain in chest, sexual function, heart, kidneys and stomachs.
Why is it dangerous why damage to the thoracum region?
The vertebral column has been lined up in the thoracic region, so the herniaes due to osteocondrosis will cause the spinal cord.This will easily lead to the problems of the heart, pancreas, liver and kidneys, because the thorakal region is associated with all these bodies of nerve fibers.So it is very important to appeal to a doctor in time.This will help you learn where osteocondrosis is the signs that are concerned and the authorized treatment of the disease.
Lomber Osteocondrosis
Osteocondrosis of the Lombard Belt occurs due to violence.Normally, there is a nucleus with a large amount of water in the center of the intervertebral disk.The main is compacted due to the liquid and will be squeezed 500 kg for his break.
But osteocondrosis is weaker than the disk, and only needed 200 kg to break it.A person who smoke 70 kgs, if the 15 kg of load remains in the bent and this is a 200 kg load for the waist, intervertebral disk can explode.Therefore, the first symptoms of the waist osteocondrosis are indicated by violence.
Symptoms
- Lumbar pain;
- impossibility of low back movement;
- Dedicated sleep;
- irritation;
- fatigue;
- impossibility of household needs;
- decrease in sexual function in men;
- violation of the menstrual period;
- Cold legs syndrome.
There is pain in the Sacral region in the passage of osteocondrosis in sick kidneys and urine.
Diagnosis
Osteocondrosis treatment is carried out by a neurologist.To get started, examines the spinal column, focuses on the presence of scoliosis.After feeling, the doctor will be able to understand how the spinal column, tendons and nerves surprise.
The neurologist will guide the patient for additional examination after the osteocondrosis of the spine.This includes a radiological examination, Magneto-Resonance Image.If the doubt of the destruction of intervertebral disk, the discography is carried out.It is also determined to determine the degree of damage to the nervous roads.
In general, the diagnosis of "waist osteochondrosis" is very difficult.After all, a person can complain about the pain in the heart, liver, kidneys, pancreas or sex dysfunction.However, a careful doctor, an experienced doctor will be able to doubt this disease and determine the correct treatment.
Treatment
Osteochondrosis therapy is a very long and heavy process.In the acute period, the patient needs peace of segment affected.If the cervical department affects, the patient must wear the Shantana's correction collar.If the Lumbar region hurts, the patient needs bed rest.It's good to place the patient to a hospital.Only there it will be able to follow the designated mode.Such a patient's bed should be difficult.Put a wooden shield under the mattress to do it.
Drug treatment
As mentioned above, the main symptom of the disease is pain.Therefore, an analgesic is determined to eliminate the signs of the patient and the signs of other osteocondrosis.
Non-meters anti-inflammatory drugs are also determined.
Unfortunately, the long-term use of these drugs damage the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract and the patient has the following symptoms:
- nausea;
- vomit;
- pain in the stomach;
- To feel in the stomach.
The stomach ulcer can also aggravate or seems to be a stomach bleeding.Therefore, you must consult a doctor before using these drugs.If the pain caused by osteocondrosis lasts 3 months, the antidepressants are determined by these drugs.In addition to a calming impact, it was established to reduce pain.
All the above drugs can be applied to symptomatic therapy.They will help to eliminate pain, but they will not save a person from the disease.
Hyonds are assigned to restore intervertebral disks and cartilage.These drugs improve metabolism in the form of connecting tissue and contribute to the restoration of cartilage.The drugs lasted for a long time, on average 4 - 6 months.
Along with the recovery of textures and improving metabolism in them, these drugs have an analgesic effect.Another drug necessary for osteochondrosis of the spine is drugs that improve blood circulation.Their use helps to expand the blood vessels and the antioxidant preparations are carried out with them, the metabolism of nerve cells will improve in people.
As in any illness, patients need calcium preparations.It will restore the activity of bone tissue, increase the strength of ligaments and tendons, as well as osteoporosis - is a disease that accompanies osteocondrosis.
Medical physics education
The warded load in the spine will improve the patient's condition.But you need to fulfill the exercises extremely carefully.During the acute period, physical education classes are contraindicated.Only with the descending of the pain can begin to deal with a little.
Exercises will improve blood circulation in the spine, strengthen the muscles.Due to the blood flow, the metabolism will improve and restore damaged intervertebral disks.But we must also remember that the classes should be held regularly, otherwise there will be no results.
Workouts for damage to the cervical region
- Stretch and fix behind.Put an hand in the stomach and put it on the chest and take a breath, take your breath 10 minutes, then breathe and relax.The exercise period is 3 - 5 minutes.You have to do 3-5 times a day.
- Sleep in the stomach and make your feet.You need to raise the head and upper chest based on the stomach and feet.Exercise for 3 - 5 minutes with 30 seconds.
- Sleep behind and twist your knees.In this case, turn right and left.Exercise for 3 - 5 minutes with 30 seconds.
Exercises for damage to the Torakic region
- Lie down in the stomach.Put your hands on the ground and bend back.Keep this position within 5 -10 seconds.Exercise for 3 - 5 minutes with a 20 second interval.
- Lie behind.Lift your head and legs up ("boat").Stretches for 10-20 seconds.Exercise for 3 - 5 minutes with a 20 second interval.
Workouts for Lombber's Damage
- Sleep behind, twist your knees and press on your chest.Swipe back and forth and roll back from back to sacrum and back.Swing up to 2 minutes.Then you have to sleep quietly and rest.
- Stop all four and bend as much as possible.Exercise for 3 - 5 minutes with a 20 second interval.
- In a constant situation, twist up to 2 - 3 minutes until the hoop.Work 10 times a day.
Surgery
The effect of the conservative treatment and the view of the complications of osteochondrosis, surgical treatment was determined.During the operation, the spine is stabilized, and pressure on the spinal cord and roots are eliminated.If a person has an intervertebral hernia, it is removed.When performing this operation, it is possible to damage the spinal cord and nerves, only due to vital indicators.
Physiotherapy treatment
The appointment of physiotherapy procedures has a positive impact on the course of the disease and accelerates the recovery process.Allowed with osteochondrosis:
- To visit sauna or bath;
- swimming in the pool;
- massage;
- paraffin therapy;
- Hand therapy;
- Laser therapy;
- different baths;
- mud;
- electrophorehesis with anti-inflammatory drugs or muscle streams;
- magnetotherapy;
- D 'Arsonval.
All these procedures improve the blood circulation in the sick area, allow muscles to relax and relax the whole organism.Physiotherapy procedures are determined during rehabilitation when the patient is not concerned with severe pain.
Prevention
No one is safe from osteocondrosis.After all, we are all aging and our whole body is aging with us.You still need to play sports since youth to destroy your plans of the disease.The average physical activity helps to improve the blood circulation, normal metabolism.In addition, it trains the muscles that protect the spinal column.Everyone should be so for the prevention of osteocondrosis:
- Proper meal - vitamins and minerals necessary for the body;
- to give up bad habits;
- to engage in physical education;
- Don't bend;
- Protect back from hypothermia;
- Do not lift very heavy items;
- Take the contrast shower and harden;
- Avoid stress.
It is especially important for people who suffer from this disease, because it is especially important for their aggravation.Long-time pain, a specialist needs to ask for help.Only one doctor will be able to properly define a diagnosis and behavior.
Do not squeeze in the clinic with a visit, because it is better to treat the disease in early stages.Also, it's not self-to-do - any drug has its own opposite instructions, you do not know it.Seriously observe all the doctor's recommendations and then the disease will be back soon!
