Osteochondrosis of the spine is one of the most common diseases.Osteochondrosis occurs with increased load on the spine and in people who lead a sedentary lifestyle (office workers who sit at the computer for a long time).
You feel stiffness in your back in the morning, limited movement in one of the points of the spine.These may be the first symptoms of an insidious disease that has become much younger in recent years - vertebral osteochondrosis.
The disease can last for a long time without external manifestations.
The first signs of imbalance, which should see a doctor, are:
- back muscle tension,
- back pain,
- periodic restriction of movement in the cervical, thoracic or lumbar regions,
- stiff feeling in the back in the morning, which subsides after warming up.
In the spine, degenerative-dystrophic changes occur in the cartilage and joints, which leads to disc deformation.arthropathy is formed in the intervertebral joints.Treatment should be started in the initial stages of the disease.
Methods for diagnosing osteochondrosis include X-ray diagnosis and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine.
7 complex procedures for the treatment and prevention of osteochondrosis
Therapeutic exercise
Particular attention is paid to exercises for the neck and back muscles.For patients with osteochondrosis, physical therapy (physical therapy) is carried out in the way of unloading the joints - lying down, sitting, using isometric exercises, in which the muscles, although tense, do not change in length and there is no movement in the joints.
Traction of spine
Traction is performed to eliminate back pain, promotes:
- stretching of the spasmodic muscles,
- intervertebral disc unloading,
- increased distance between the articular surfaces of the intervertebral joints,
- relief from the compression of the neural formations of the spine.
As a result of the use of this procedure, the pathological processes occurring in the spine weaken and the active improvement of the weakened functions in the affected parts of the spine begins.
Acupuncture
