Osteochondrosis of the spine is one of the most common diseases.Osteochondrosis occurs with increased load on the spine and in people with a sedentary lifestyle (office workers who sit at the computer for a long time).
In the morning you feel stiffness in your back and limited mobility in part of your spine.These may be the first symptoms of an insidious disease that has become much younger in recent years - spinal osteochondrosis.
The disease can last for a long time without any external manifestations.
The first signs of imbalance that should make you seek medical attention are:
- tension in the back muscles,
- back pain,
- Periodically occurring restrictions on movement in the neck, chest or lumbar area,
- A feeling of stiffness in the back in the morning, which disappears after warming up.
In the spine, degenerative-dystrophic changes occur in the cartilage and joints, which lead to intervertebral disc deformation;Osteoarthritis occurs in the intervertebral joints.Treatment must be started in the early stages of the disease.
Methods for diagnosing osteochondrosis include X-ray diagnostics and magnetic tomography of the spine (MRI).
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, physiotherapy (physiotherapy) is carried out in the mode of joint relief - lying down, sitting, with isometric exercises, during which the muscles tense, but their length does not change and there is no movement in the joints.
Spinal traction
Traction is performed to eliminate back pain and promotes:
- stretching of spasmodic muscles,
- relief of the intervertebral discs,
- increased diastasis between the articular surfaces of the intervertebral joints,
- Relieving compression of the nerve formations of the spine.
By using this procedure, the pathological processes occurring in the spine are weakened and active improvement of impaired functions in the affected parts of the spine begins.
acupuncture
In the treatment and prevention of osteochondrosis, to improve the nutrition of the spine and joints, acupuncture is prescribed to relax cramped muscles and improve the nutrition of the spine.
Physiotherapy
In the treatment and prevention of osteochondrosis, to improve the nutrition of the spine and joints, physiotherapy procedures and needle applicators are prescribed to improve the blood supply to certain areas of the body surface.Interstitial electrical stimulation.
Interstitial electrical stimulation is carried out according to the author's method and is very effective.The effectiveness of treating patients with this method is 92-95%.It is also good that medication is avoided.There are no side effects.The procedure time is 20-40 minutes.The course of treatment includes 3-10 procedures, which are carried out every 1-2 days.
Therapeutic massage
In the treatment and prevention of osteochondrosis, light massage is recommended to improve the nutrition of the spine, cartilage and joints (if there are no contraindications).However, massage is prescribed no earlier than 3-6 months after the start of active drug correction.
Manual therapy
To improve spinal nutrition, manual therapy in the form of gentle myofascial techniques is recommended.A doctor with “smart” hands finds therapeutic techniques that alleviate the patient's condition.
Even with advanced disease, complex treatment leads to long-term positive results.
