Treatment and osteochondrosis prevention

Statistically every second inhabitant of our planet has osteochondrosis. And though of this illness don't die, it is accompanied by pains, sometimes strong which prevent to move and live in a habitual rhythm. How not to allow and how to be treated for osteochondrosis Mirsovetov will tell.

What is osteochondrosis?

Osteochondrosis is a disease of a backbone, is more true than it, the copular device. In other words, a metabolic disorder in intervertebral cartilages. More often this disease appears at a female half of mankind, and here proceeds at men more painfully.
It is known that load of a backbone of the person is minimum in a prone position. But at a modern rhythm of life lying we will see off ever less time. And here in inconvenient or inactive (for example, at the computer) poses more and more. And it is bad, after all that without understanding, we harm to the backbone. We bethink more often when already torment pains in a back, a neck, when lifting hands or head turns. It also is osteochondrosis. The intervertebral cartilages exhausted with constant loading истончаются, are deformed and clamp nerves and vessels of a spine column, causing pain. And nervous and hryashchevy fabrics aren't restored, and consequently, "having earned" osteochondrosis, we should live with it all life. But not everything is so terrible. For who while has no this disease, there is a number of preventive measures, the others have the whole arsenal of means for treatment of this illness.

How to distinguish osteochondrosis

That it will be convinced of absence at you of osteochondrosis, rather negatively to answer some questions.

Whether
• you noticed periodical or constant weight in a back, an onemeniye or tension of back muscles?
Whether
• there are at you so-called "goosebumps" on skin of a neck, a back or a waist?
Whether
• there is "lumbago" in a back or a nagging pain in a neck or hands?
• Try to lift hands up. Whether delivers it to you pain?
Whether
• disturb you pains at turns or a ducking?
Whether
• there are at you dizzinesses?
Whether
• the back, hands or a neck grows dumb at you?
Whether
• you suffer from noise in ears and/or nausea?

If you though answered one question positively, Mirsovetov recommends to address for the doctor. To what? To the traumatologist, the neurologist or at least to the therapist. They will examine your backbone and in case of need will carry out more careful research (a X-ray, a tomography).

Reasons of emergence of osteochondrosis

Lead to emergence of this disease very many factors can.

1. Heredity. If your mother or the grandmother had an osteochondrosis, it doesn't mean that it will be indispensable at you. Simply often the structure of an intervertebral cartilage is by inheritance reported, and in that case there is a predisposition to an illness.
2. Back diseases. It and backbone curvature (scoliosis, кифоз, лордоз), and weak widest muscle of a back. All this does load of a backbone non-uniform, as results eventually in defects of a hryashchevy fabric.
3. Monotonous or hard work. Well, about hard physical work everything is clear: load of a backbone is exceeded admissible on force and duration – and there is an osteochondrosis. This disease is inevitable and for those who works in the same pose. Here, for example, the manager who is daily sitting in front of the computer, or the cook who has been constantly inclined over a chopping board. People such here "motionless" professions should pay attention to osteochondrosis prevention surely.
4. Traumas or metabolic disorder. Usual avitaminosis or гиповитаминоз can do irreparable harm to vertebral cartilages. Of course about serious traumas or a metabolic disorder.

Osteochondrosis prevention

It is known that to warn an illness it is easier, than it to treat. Prevention of osteochondrosis is necessary for all – both to children, and adults. Especially, anything difficult in it isn't present, and prevention of osteochondrosis doesn't demand any special efforts. The first and almost the most important point is the care about backbone health. For this purpose Mirsovetov advises constantly to go in for sports or at least gymnastics that will help to develop a back muscular corset and to improve blood circulation. The following – constantly to watch a bearing and gait, not to stoop and not to stoop.

The ideal bearing is when the head and a back are on one vertical, shoulders are straightened, shovels don't stick out, the breast is raised, and a stomach will pull in. My teacher of yoga told once that the stomach is appreciable at us not because we eat much, but because incorrectly we go. And how it is correct? Present that you pull for the top, and you hardly concern with floor socks. Practise such exercise few weeks and won't notice soon that became the owner of an excellent bearing.

Still it is desirable as it is possible to hang more often on a horizontal bar, stretching a spine column and let's to it have a rest. Provide to itself such dream at which your backbone will adopt the correct provision. Researches of scientists showed that an ideal pose for a backbone in a prone position on a back. But thus the mattress should be rather rigid that the backbone accepted a convenient natural pose. For this purpose enclose under feet the elastic roller. We advise to get an orthopedic mattress and a pillow and to throw out, at last, grandmother's feather-beds.

If you have a monotonous sedentary work, surely time at two o'clock (the more often, the better) do breaks. Relax, make a little rotating movements by the head and shoulders, walk. At possibility go out of doors. By the way, such here breaks are legalized, and in the LABOUR CODE are resolved for the people who are constantly working at the computer.

To prevention we will carry and the balanced, vitaminized food. Try to eat fish and seafood, nuts, bean and various dairy products. Periodically take complex vitamins. It you don't allow a metabolic disorder and will be insured from emergence of osteochondrosis. Pernicious loading for a backbone is also excess weight therefore try not to recover.
Well, and a couple of words about prevention at children. It is necessary for a constant to watch a bearing of the child, to do gymnastics or morning exercises (will be more productive if you make it together). And still, prefer school backpacks, instead of bags, after all backpacks counterbalance load of a back.

Methods of treatment of osteochondrosis

To cure osteochondrosis it is almost unreal. Cartilage deformation – irreversible process. Therefore the purpose of treatment is stay of a clinical course and disposal of, to put it mildly, unpleasant symptoms. Methods of treatment there is a set. To what to trust – to solve to your attending physician as each case is individual.
1. Medicamentous treatment. So to speak classics. These are anesthetizing, anti-inflammatory, antiedematous preparations. Use of various ointments which will help to clean a pain syndrome is possible. And also the whole list of drugs which will improve blood circulation, muscles will weaken and will promote restoration of cartilages. But such treatment should be repeated constantly as time of action of similar therapy is limited.

Now advertize the whole arsenal of wonderful means which will cure diseases of joints and bones, will solve all your problems. It, unfortunately, only advertizing. From the experience I will tell – Terafleks and Balm Dikulya very helped. The first – the tablets restoring a hryashchevy fabric. The second – grassy gel, really balm – perfectly takes off pain and fatigue in a back. But besides selection of medicines especially individual business.

2. Physiotherapy. To this section we will carry электрофорез, treatment by means of magnets, various medical dirt, ultrasound or a current. The method suitable you will be chosen by your doctor, after all for some procedures there is a number of contra-indications. Here, for example, massage is categorically contraindicated to people with any good-quality educations. Still popularly so-called extension which is led on special couches. Such procedure only to destination and under control of the doctor is carried out.
3. Reflexotherapy. Such treatment is borrowed in the east and based on impact on certain active points of a human body. It both acupuncture, and special warming up, and injections. The traditional medicine often with a negative belongs to similar treatment. But results as speak, in a face – after a course of reflexotherapy pain and tension of muscles leaves, the blood-groove improves. All methods of this section not only kill pain and other inconveniences, but also revitalize all organism.

I think, many наслышаны about Kuznetsov's applikator. These are special "prickles" which should be put to a sick zone of a body. After a course of such therapy (which can be spent and at home) you don't recognize yourselves. I never would believe, if itself didn't try. Having lain only 5 minutes on «a prickly rug» (I put on neck area), felt blood inflow to a brain, a relaxation of muscles of a back. And in some days pain which even to sleep normally left didn't give. To buy such "miracle" it is possible in any drugstore and in many Internet shops. And the price is available to all (I took for 12 UAH).

4. Manipulation. Too popular method of treatment and not only osteochondrosis. Very much reminds massage as the manualny therapist carries out manipulations with a backbone that is called barehanded. Here only massage is a work with muscles, and manipulation is carried out with vertebras and sheaves with the appendix of certain efforts. Very productive way of treatment. But! Only under condition of very high qualification and solid experience of the manualny therapist. Therefore your most important task is the serious approach to a choice of the expert. Prefer known clinics and therapists with numerous recommendations. Aren't lazy, after all in layman hands manipulation is worse than the weapon as harm can put the simply enormous.
5. Surgical intervention. Pleasant in such treatment it is not enough, after all any operation is a fear and risk. Usually operative intervention is carried out for the purpose of removal of hernia and elimination of deformation of vertebras. All this is result of the started illness. Therefore once again I will tell – don't ignore osteochondrosis, treat him! And the earlier treatment will begin, the it is less probability of similar complications and operations.
6. Physiotherapy exercises. If in the previous points types of treatment steal up individually, LFK is necessary for everyone. However, complexes of exercises vary depending on a stage and disease localization. It is better to resemble for a start LFK in policlinic or the rehabilitation center, to remember all exercises and it is obligatory to do their houses daily.
There are also other methods of treatment of osteochondrosis. It both treatment by bloodsuckers and the national methods assuming a pulverizing on the basis of bee sting, ant alcohol or carrying of a pepper plaster. But before such here treatment consult to the doctor, after all that rescued one, can not help or even to do much harm to another.

Certainly, it is necessary to watch since small years a bearing, to do body exercises and carry out osteochondrosis prevention. But if you after all weren't saved – don't despair, after all at present there is a mass of ways of treatment of this disease. And if to be reserved by patience, to suspend an illness it will be possible. And what if to neglect everything? I do not advise. After all process of deformation of vertebras can lead to formation of intervertebral hernia, and it very much and very seriously.
Health to you!
