What is osteochondrosis
Osteochondrosis is a chronic neurological disease. From the Greek language, this term is translated by osteo - bone and chondros - cartilage.Due to the pathological destruction of the tissues, their elasticity and the loss of the original form are reduced. The distance between the vertebrae is reduced and the spine is deprived of a stable balance. Distinguish between lumbar, thoracic and cervical osteodrosis.As part of the weakening of the body's intervertebral discs, irreversible pathological processes can start to develop. With late treatment, such a process can lead to vertebral hernia and projection. In addition, a degradation of the joint joints and intervertebral ligaments can occur. All these processes lead to the formation of bone - osteophytes processes.Causes of the diseaseOsteochondrosis develops in a certain number of factors that depend and do not depend on a person. The main reasons reside in the following:The causes of deviation in the intervertebral cuts are a installation of asymmetrical work muscles. This happens in the event of late inappropriate before the exercises, uncomfortable poses, when you wear heavy bags, an inappropriate position in a dream and using mattresses or too soft pillows. Often, the causes of osteochondrosis can be flat legs. At the same time, foot disease does not provide appropriate depreciation during interaction with the support and the entire load to go to the intervertebral columns.People with excessive mass of the body are very often confronted with the problems of the spine. This is due to the fact that fat deposits are distributed in various parts of the body and the axis of the spine, without resisting excessive load, begins to deform. The intervertebral joints take control of excessive mass and overload over time.Cases of the development of the disease are very frequent in the context of various back injuries, overloading of a dynamic and statistical nature, regular vibrations on the vertebral axis. In addition, the more an aged person, the more it often becomes subject to such manifestations.The curvature of the spine is the undeniable cause of the development of osteochondrosis. Such a pathology can develop both in early childhood and at a later age. During school years, most people acquire certain deviations related to the spine. At a later age, these manifestations are paid into a chronic disease. In addition to the above reasons, the following elements can be distinguished:hereditary predisposition;smoking;infectious poisoning or disease;net cessation of a very physical effort in the gymnasium;lower nutrition;changes associated with age;posture on posture during pregnancy;unfavorable environmental conditions.Symptoms of osteochondrosisThe main symptoms of the disease can be called pain in the back and neck. The severity of the symptoms depends on the severity and stage of the disease. Osteochondosis has an extended clinical image. This is due to the fact that the location of the intervertebral discs is violated, the hernias, the growing on the vertebrae are formed. All this leads to an alteration of blood supply, nerve pinches, a spinal cord dysfunction and the occurrence of fibrosis of the surrounding vertebrates.With the development of osteochondrosis, the following symptoms begin to appear:A pain drawn or pulsating in the neck, the neck, the lower back appears; Muscle weakness is felt;By turning the head, crusts are heard;Headache and periodic dizziness occur;A person feels unexpected fatigue of usual routine affairs, which over time moves in chronicle;Numbness of the members, their ailments and their chills are felt;The sensitivity is disturbed;Muscle hypotension develops;body fatigue, including the eye.Depending on the spine area that osteochondrosis is struck, symptoms may vary. With cervical osteochondosis, pain in the hands and shoulders is felt, the head begins to stun, "flies" appear periodically before the eyes. The lesion of the chest region leads to pain in the chest and the region of the heart. The lumbar region declares itself to be pain in the lower back, which are given to the legs or to the pelvic organs.
With late treatment, the following disorders may appear: vertebral hernia;Cyphosis;projection;radiculitis;Salt deposits in space between the vertebrae;trait of the spinal cord;members' atrophy;Legs paralysis.Treatment of osteochondrosisOsteochondrosis is treated with a fairly long period, about three months plus annual rehabilitation. Self-medication can worsen the patient's condition and can take longer for treatment and recovery.Therapeutic procedures are carried out in two areas: conservative therapy and surgery are used. In addition, the patient is prescribed the corresponding diet and the general recommendations to maintain his health are given.During conservative treatment, this is the aim of stopping pain syndrome, normalizing the spine and preventing other dystrophic changes in a person's "axis". It is carried out by the following methods:PharmacotherapyAimed at eliminating pain syndrome and preventing inflammation from the components of the tissue spine. At the same time, the objective is to improve the work of metabolic processes. The following drugs are prescribed:Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory.Antispasmodics.Antioxidants.Improvement of blood microcirculation.Drugs for osteochondrosis can be used as tablets, ointments, gels and injections. The ointments based on bees and snake poison have good criticism. Famous anesthetic ointments can be used without a prescription from a doctor to relieve muscle pain.The ointments are used both during the period of pain exacerbation and for the prevention of osteochondrosis.To stop the pain and stop inflammation, various therapeutic blockade also use. They help reduce Muscle T Tone Syndrome. Among these blockade, an application is found:blocking of trigger points;inside the bone;Paravertebral;Epidural.PhysiotherapyThe procedure is necessary to relieve intense pain in the spine area and near the adjacent organs. It is prescribed during the medication period and during the rehabilitation period to improve their effectiveness. Physiotherapy is carried out using the following means:Ultrasonic effects on the spine;laser treatment;Magnetically therapy - resonance;The use of low frequency currents.Physiotherapy Physiotherapy (exercise therapy), KinesherpulayThis type of treatment is individually selected according to the severity of the processes taking place, their steps and their age of the patient. The exercises are selected and carefully. The purpose of these exercises is to correct the posture, to normalize the work of muscle tissue, of their flexibility. At the same time, the decompression of the nerve roots is exposed and the prevention of possible complications is carried out.The procedure allows you to normalize the metabolism and nutrition of the intervertebral discs, improves blood circulation, restores the distance from the discs and vertebrae, allows you to uniformly distribute the load over all the support and motor devices.In addition, the following procedures have a good restful effect:Massage. It helps to improve blood circulation, relieve stiffness and tension in muscles, as well as to improve the general condition of the body and the patient's health. Hydromassage. The effect goes in the same way as massage therapy, only the work of the entire nervous system always improves.Manual therapy. The impact goes to certain points in the bone and the muscle system. The motor activity is restored, the immune system is reinforced and the prevention of possible complications is carried out.Extension (traction) of the spine. Using special equipment, the spine is corrected. The procedure finally helps to get rid of pain attacks.With the ineffectiveness of conservative treatment, surgery is used. The surgical method is also prescribed for the strongest injuries of the spine and its neighboring organs.
Any type of osteochondrosis can develop for many years in a location location. But at the same time, pathological processes can form in any part of the spine. The appropriate treatment guarantees a favorable prognosis and a complete healing of osteochondrosis.
