Osteochondrosis of the spine is one of the most common diseases.Osteochondrosis occurs with an increased load on the spine and in people who lead a sedentary lifestyle (office workers who sit for a long time at the computer).
In the morning, you feel stiffness in your back, limited movement in one of the parts of the spine.These may be the first signs of an insidious disease - spinal osteochondrosis, which has become much younger in recent years.
The disease can last a long time without external manifestations.
The first signs of imbalance that should prompt you to see a doctor are:
- back muscle tension,
- back pain,
- periodic restriction of movement in the cervical, thoracic or lumbar regions,
- feeling of stiffness in the back in the morning, disappears after warming up.
Degenerative-dystrophic changes occur in the cartilage and joints of the spine, which causes disc deformation;arthrosis occurs in the intervertebral joints.Treatment should begin at the initial stage of the disease.
Methods for diagnosing osteochondrosis include X-ray diagnostics and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine.
7 complex procedures for the treatment and prevention of osteochondrosis
Therapeutic exercise
Special attention is paid to exercises for neck and back muscles.Physical therapy (physical therapy) for patients with osteochondrosis is carried out in the mode of loosening the joints - lying down, sitting, using isometric exercises, during which the muscles are tense, but do not change their length, and there is no movement in the joints.
Stretching of the spine
Stretching is performed to relieve back pain, promotes:
- spasmodic muscle stretching,
- loosening of the intervertebral discs,
- increased diastasis between the articular surfaces of the intervertebral joints,
- to get rid of compression of the nerve formations of the spine.
As a result of the application of this procedure, the pathological processes occurring in the spine are weakened, and the impaired functions in the affected parts of the spine begin to improve actively.
Acupuncture
In the treatment and prevention of osteochondrosis, acupuncture is prescribed to improve nutrition of the spine and joints, to relax spasmodic muscles and improve nutrition of the spine.
Physiotherapy
In the treatment and prevention of osteochondrosis, physiotherapeutic procedures and needle applicators are prescribed to improve blood supply to certain parts of the body surface to improve nutrition of the spine and joints.Interstitial electrical stimulation.
Interstitial electrical stimulation is performed using the author's method and is very effective.The effectiveness of treating patients with this method is 92-95%.It is also good not to use drugs.No side effects.The duration of the procedure is 20-40 minutes.The course of treatment is 3-10 procedures performed every 1-2 days.
