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).
In the morning you feel stiffness in the back, limited movement in one part of the 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 a long time without external manifestations.
The first signs of imbalance, which you should go to the doctor, are:
- back muscle tension,
- back pain,
- periodic limitations of movement in the cervical, thoracic or lumbar regions,
- a feeling of stiffness in the back in the morning, which goes away after warming up.
In the spine, degenerative-dystrophic changes occur in cartilage and joints, which leads to disc deformation;arthrosis forms in the intervertebral joints.Treatment should begin in the early stages 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 exercises
Special attention is paid to exercises for neck and back muscles.For patients with osteochondrosis, physical therapy (physiotherapy) 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.
Spinal traction
Pulling is performed to eliminate back pain, promotes:
- stretching of spasmodic muscles,
- intervertebral disc discharge,
- increased diastasis between the articular surfaces of the intervertebral joints,
- relief from compression of the nerve formations of the spine.
As a result of using this procedure, the pathological processes occurring in the spine are weakened and the active improvement of damaged 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 muscle spasms and improve the nutrition of the spine.
Physiotherapy
In the treatment and prevention of osteochondrosis, to improve nutrition of the spine and joints, physiotherapeutic procedures and needle applicators are prescribed to improve blood supply to certain areas of the body surface.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 that no medications are used.There are no side effects.The time of the procedure is 20-40 minutes.The course of treatment is 3-10 procedures, which are performed every 1-2 days.
Therapeutic massage
In the treatment and prevention of osteochondrosis, to improve the nutrition of the spine, cartilage and joints, a light massage is recommended (in the absence of contraindications).However, massage is prescribed no earlier than 3-6 months after the start of active drug correction.
Manual therapy
Manual therapy in the form of gentle myofascial techniques is recommended to improve spinal nutrition.A doctor with "clever" hands finds therapeutic techniques that alleviate the patient's condition.
