What is caused by osteochondrosis

Fracture>- It is a spinal disease, or rather, its ligamentus device.Simply put, a violation of metabolism in intervertebral cartilage.

  The name of the osteochondrosis comes from the Greek word osteon - "bone" and chondros - "cartilage". The essence of osteochondrosis is a dystrophic process in bone and cartilage, followed by their aging. In classical medical sense, the spinal osteochondrosis is a degenerative lesion of the cartilage of the intervertebral disc and reactive changes from the bodies near the spine. It is generally accepted that it begins with all discs malfunction, but pain syndrome already occurs due to neurological complications of this process.

There is an opinion that osteochondrosis is a disease, as a result of the effects of many factors - both hereditary and acquired. People start feeling manifestations of osteochondrosis most often after 35 years. The development and exaggeration of spinal osteochondrosis is made convenient by its macro- and microtrama, static and dynamic overloads, as well as vibrations.

A useful, optimal load on the vertebral and intervertebral disc is when we hold the spine in its natural condition, which is imagined for us by nature. When this condition changes, there is an improper distribution of load on the spine, leading to a change in cartilage in additional pressure places.

Maybe this is the cause:Work associated with frequent changes in body conditions;Raising heavy cars;Long -term forced posture (for example, between school children and students)In the standing position, wrong posture, sitting, lying and taking weight;Physical education and sports without taking into account the effects of great physical exertion;Injury, heavy physical exertion

Most often, many factors lead to the development of osteochondrosis. At a certain place of them, stress, hypothermia, adverse weather conditions (low temperatures in combination with high humidity) are occupied, various chemicals that enter the body with food and breathing.  People with an additional body mass. The development of osteochondrosis may lead to a congenital deficiency of connective tissue (weakness of ligamentus equipment), an exchange-hormonal, autoimmune diseases, trophic disorders in joints, etc.

Osteochondrosis- destruction and destruction of intervertebral discs. It is osteochondrosis which is the cause of back pain in 80% of cases.

The mechanism of the presence of pain can be simpler in this way: intervertebral disc load does not withstand and its fruit is formed. Nervous processes around the intervertebral disc are ships and spinal cords. The hernia of the disc, affecting any nervous process causes its inflammation, causing pain.

Osteochondrosis of the cervical spine is distinguished by a variety of symptoms. There is an unpleasant sensation in the hand, spreads from the shoulder and the cell for the outer surface and fingers of the shoulder, the numbness of the region, increased sensitivity or decrease, sometimes you have to get up at night and knead the muscles of the hands. Pain can occur with acute, cutting and feeling of electric current. Often the pain is sharp with a minimal load on the hand; Some patients are not able to walk in a coat - it presses on their shoulders and feels extremely heavy. The pain is intensified with cough, sneezing, stressful and bent for a particularly healthy side. Motor disorders can occur, more often in hands, especially in fingers. As a rule, 2-3 less spine of spine is affected.

Sometimes numbness, irritation, tingling in the hands or feet, limiting the dynamics of the upper or lower loops, and the impaired sensitivity is noted. The presence of "cervical migraine" indicates the wound of the vertebral artery. Blood circulation is distracted in the stem and oCCPital parts of the brain. A continuous symptom is a headache. The pain is usually behind the head and spreads in the parietal-octam region. The pain is stable and sharp with neck movements, more often in the morning. Older people often lose consciousness with a sharp turn of their head, which occur before dizziness, noise in the ears, decrease in visual acuity and hearing, nausea and vomiting.

Sometimes there is pain in the heart - long, pressure. With osteochondrosis of cervical spine, especially chronic and synil age, changes in soft tissues in the form of seals are often found. These seal in the neck muscles, the cervical vertebrae (often VII vertebral), is determined in the fields of the processes of the wrist, elbow joints, supra-and subclavian fossa. With age, due to changes in the structure of tendon, cicatricial seal in the palm of your hand is rapidly appearing.

The manifestations of osteochondrosis of the thoracic spinal are extremely diverse, but one of the symptoms is not strictly specific. Basically, the symptoms are determined by the localization (location) of the painful process and the degree of severity. Thoracic spine pain is the main symptom. After physical exertion or long stay in a condition, the pain intensifies, which forces patients to change the posture even at night. A burning, pain or dull pain is very special in the scapula and intersection space. Patients complain about the feeling of "iron tick". Drinking on the processes of vertebrae is painful. Pain can spread to various internal organs.

Fracture diagnosis

Osteochondrosis is diagnosed by a neuropathologist, orthopedist. To confirm the diagnosis of osteochondrosis, the doctor detects the symptoms of the disease, the history of the development of the disease, and examines the patient. When examining patients with osteochondrosis, curvature of the spinal curvature (scoliosis) usually reveals painful points on the edges of the spinal and the presence of stressful muscles.
To clarify the diagnosis of osteochondrosis, a radiological examination of the spine, calculated tomography or atomic magnetic resonance of the spinal are excluded.

How to treat osteochondrosis

Currently, there are many ways to treat osteochondrosis from taking drugs and ending with surgery. Naturally, there are many disputes about these methods and their effects on the body. When choosing the treatment method, you should pay attention to some points.

For example, if you are going to treat with drugs, you should pay attention to the fact that most of them adversely affect the abdomen and liver, so it is important to contact experienced experts only who will choose the most sparring drug therapy.

When choosing a manual therapist, it is desirable to bring you into a wheelchair, since selecting a manual therapist, which is enough now. When selecting medical exercises, it is necessary to pay attention to ensure that exercises do not cause load on the spine, but only develop back muscles. Without sudden movements, try to slow down all the exercises.

For prevention of osteochondrosis and exclusion of its exercise, it is advisable to inspect several rules that will reduce the load on the spine:Always keep your back at allTry not to raise heavy items. If necessary, increase them Craching, and not bendTransfer the back muscles more oftenHang and swim on horizontal times as often as possible

But everything is not so scary. For those who do not yet have this disease, there are many preventive measures, the rest have a complete arsenal of money for the treatment of this disease.

Prevention of osteochondrosis

As you know, it is easy to stop the disease. Prevention of osteochondrosis is necessary for all - both children and adults. In addition, there is nothing complicated in it, and no special effort is required to prevent osteochondrosis. The first and perhaps the most important point is the spinal health care. To do this, the world of advice recommends constant sports or at least gymnastics play, which will help develop a spinal muscle corset and improve blood circulation. The next is to monitor the continuous posture and gait, not to the hump and stop.
The ideal posture occurs when the head and back are the same vertical, the shoulders are straightened, the shoulder blades do not stick out, the chest is lifted, and the stomach is pulled. My yoga teacher once said that the stomach is worth noting because we eat a lot, but because we go wrong. How is this right? Imagine that you are drawn from the top of the head, and you are barely touching the socks of the floor. Practice such an exercise for a few weeks and soon you will not pay attention to yourself that they have become the owner of an excellent currency.

It is advisable to hang on the horizontal bar as often as possible, drawing the spinal column and allowing it to relax. Give yourself a dream in which your spine will take the right position. The study of scientists has shown that the ideal posture for the spine in lying on the back. But at the same time, the mattress should be hard enough to take a convenient natural currency for the spine. To do this, put an elastic roller under your feet. We recommend you to buy an orthopedic mattress and a pillow and finally throw the wings to the bed grandmother.
If you have a monotonous sedentary work, always take every two hours (more often, better) brakes. Relax, some move your head and shoulders, go. If possible, go out in fresh air. By the way, such a break is legalized, and in the Labor Code, they are allowed to those who are constantly working on the computer.

We include a balanced, vitamin -rich nutrition for prevention. Try to eat fish and seafood, nuts, legumes and various dairy products. Take complex vitamins from time to time. By this, you will not allow a metabolic violation. The extra weight is a devastating load for the spine, so try not to fix.  
Well, some words about prevention in children. It is necessary to monitor the child's posture, do gymnastics or morning exercise (if you make it together it will be more effective). And yet, give preference to the backpacks of the school, not the bag, because it is the backpacks that balances the load on the back.
