In modern conditions, young people often suffer from osteochondria. The mistake of this is a sedentary lifestyle, because even we often spend your free time on the computer - of course, sitting. Osteochondria can cause many unpleasant sensations and significantly reduce the quality of life. Fortunately, the disease is offered for symptomatic treatment: today there are many therapeutic solutions for it.Symptoms and causes of osteochondicity
Osteochondria is a degenerative damage to intervertebral discs and adjacent bone tissue. It is the cervical, the chest and the lumbar spine - all depending on the spine area on which the pathological changes began. With osteochondria, the intervertebral disc suffers mainly. Due to the violation of metabolic processes, it deforms and loses elasticity and this leads to the fact that the distance between the vertebrae decreases and the nerves extending from the spinal cord are bites. The result is severe pain, limiting mobility, fatigue, changes in posture, leading to even greater deterioration of the condition.The main reason for the development of osteochondrication is an unbalanced and excessive load on the spine, which occurs, for example, in the presence of excessive weight, making the work, another need to be in an uncomfortable position for a long time. The osteochondria can be caused by flat legs or daily wearing in very high heels, sleep in an uncomfortable layer, as well as the weakness of the corset muscle. Pregnant women are also at risk.However, osteochondria is not always - the result of a straight load on the vertebrae. Often this disease is caused by a violation of metabolic processes, chronic poisoning, hormonal and autoimmune diseases, deficiency of certain vitamins (in particular, vitamins C and B), injuries and, finally, age -related changes. Unfortunately, neurologists often diagnose osteochondry with any structural change in the body. For example, when in X -tolerate changes to such changes in the spine, such as slopes, increases, scoliosis, excesses, with a high degree of probability of the patient, they will begin to be treated for osteochondria. If there are no deviations in the spine, they can make a diagnosis of "psychogenic pain". In the meantime, the cause of back pain remains unsolved.Chinese medicine considers the human body as a whole. Therefore, when the diagnosis is made by the traditional Chinese medicine doctor (TCM), it "looks at the root" of the problem that determines through its symptoms. Removing the "root" of the disease removes its manifestations, also contributing to the disappearance of back pain.Symptoms of osteochondry depend to a large extent on identifying the source of the disease. With the cervical spine osteochondria, the disease begins with pain in the throat and hands, headaches and finger numbness. With the osteochondria of the thoracic area, the following manifestations are characteristic: acute back pain, tingling in the chest, difficult breathing. The lumbar osteochondria is accompanied by pain in the lower back and legs, numbness of the feet, there are also the birth disorders - urinary disorders, sexual dysfunction in men, ovarian malfunctions in women. In terms of traditional Chinese medicine, the list of manifestations of the disease is supplemented by the following symptoms:pain that gives the buttocks or feet.The severity of the muscles and their stiffness.Feeling cold on the back.Night sweating;Heat the palms and feet.noise in the ears.pain in the lower abdomen.cold in the extremities and lack of energy;acute pain, anywhere.increased body temperature;swelling at the edges.
At the same time, the pulse may be different: from deep, filamentous and slow, vibrant and frequent. Symptoms, such as the nature of the pulse, may depend on the basic cause of the disease.Most of the time, people observe the first signs of about 25 years of osteochondry, but ignore them for a long time. As a result, patients aged 30-35 are usually targeted at doctors and many of them are already in advanced form.How is the treatment of osteochondry?If the doctor is diagnosed with osteochondria, be patient - the treatment will be great. The integrated approach significantly accelerates the recovery process, but in any case, osteochondria cannot be treated in one month. The course of the treatment of osteochondry should be divided into various stages and each of them seeks specific goals.The first step is to eliminate pain.

Animal medicines and various procedures are prescribed: both from the physiotherapy arsenal and those related to traditional medicine, for example, acupuncture, which has long been officially recognized and included in the nomenclature of medical services.The second stage in the treatment of osteochondrication is the restoration of intervertebral discs and the prevention of dystrophic changes. As a rule, the therapeutic physical treatment, massage, manual therapy, acupuncture, diet correction, physiotherapeutic processes aimed at improving blood circulation and normalize metabolic processes are reported.A neurologist can prescribe painkillers and anti -inflammatory drugs. If necessary, resort to novocaine or more serious treatment to remove spasm. However, the source of the disease that remains in the body after some time leads to the return of the disease. Doctors of traditional Chinese medicine often in practice prove that the diagnosis of osteochond is incorrect in many cases. In those cases where this conclusion is confirmed, TKM's doctor removes swelling in the patient and begins the restoration of tendons and muscles. The convulsions are gradually eliminated from the longitudinal and oblique muscles, while the ability to move in the full spectrum is returned to the joint. This treatment in most cases contributes to recovery.Treatment of osteochondicism of thoracic spineWith the thoracic spine osteochondria, the patient should also review his habits: in order for the treatment to bring the desired results, it is necessary to gain loads, alternating rest walks, sometimes it is desirable to walk with a cane.

First of all, the TKM doctor determines for every hyperinflation of patients (acupuncture). It is on them to act with the best needles. This causes the body to respond, helping to restore the cartilage and bone and return the mobility of the joints. After treatment, it is recommended to repeat acupuncture lessons with a specific frequency in the future, but with a preventive purpose.The technique of needle regulation and the duration of acupuncture session are influenced by the diagnosis and condition of the patient. As a rule, acupuncture sessions are well tolerated by all patients, although the senses from the procedure in patients differ. For some, the introduction of the needles goes unnoticed, one may have a feeling of itching, light pressure and someone is completely sleeping.It cannot be said that the emergence of osteochondicism occurs due to any factor-factor often the cause of the development of the disease is generally a wrong way of life.
