What is osteochondrosis?
With osteochondrosis of the spine, one or more intervertebral discs occur. The disease can occur in any department:Thoracic;Shein;Lumbar (lumbosacral).In serious cases, degeneration of vertebrates in the context of osteochondrosis is observed throughout the pillar, which causes human handicap. So what is this disease - osteochondrosis? The pathology is associated with a progressive, regular and progressive violation of the nutrition of the hyalin cartilage located on the intervertebral discs, following which they change their position, their shape, their crack. A person undergoes severe pain syndrome, the functions of the entire musculoskeletal system are altered. What is osteochondrosis about its consequences? If you do not perform treatment, the vertebrae will be compressed, the cracks will decrease and the discs seem to collapse. This will cause damage to the nerve roots, damage to the spinal cord and altered work of the internal organs. Bone osteophytes appear along the edges of discs - growth that causes even more pain. The consequences of this vertebral disease are very serious.The main causes of osteochondrosisScientists have reached conclusions, studying osteochondrosis that this disease is a consequence of the simplicity of a person, so that most people are subject to it. Daily loads high on the spine, deterioration linked to the age of vascular functions, the inferiority of nutrition and aging of the body are the main causes of osteochondrosis. The following factors are increased by the situation: Inappropriate frequent position of the body (for example, curved sitting in the office, carrying a bag on the shoulder);Sleep on soft mattresses, pillows;Flat feet, leg deformation;Metabolic diseases;Excess weight creating improved loads on the spine;Hypodynamia;Posture disorders;Multiple pregnancy;A long experience of smoking;The instability of the vertebrae.
Injuries, strong physical activity considerably exacerbates the development of osteochondrosis from the spine. Therefore, athletes, physical work employees, lower back - a very "popular" problem. Heredity also plays an important role in the pathogenesis of syndrome - If parents at a young age have had serious problems with their backs, the child has a high risk of obtaining the vertebral disease.Psychosomatic of osteochondrosisThe psychosomatic causes of pathology are a new direction in the search for conditions for its training. Psychosomatics implies the influence of psychological factors on the development and evolution of physical diseases. The link between bodily problems and mental problems is really cramped and, apparently, a healthy person can suffer from regular pain. With osteochondrosis, some people have no objective cause of pathology, but it continues to progress.Up to 30% of patients after a visit to the doctor indicate problems such as:Constant constraint;Chronic experiences;Nervous over;Family problems;Conflicts;Moral unleashing.Steps of the diseaseThe intervertebral disc consists of liquid and solid parts. The first is in the center, representing a nucleus which gives elasticity. The nucleus is surrounded by a strong ring from above. It is with the liquid structure that all the pathological changes of the disc begin, which later spread to its shell.In medicine, four stages of osteochondosis development are distinguished. This refers to the parole of pathology by the severity of violations in the spine:
The first stage of osteochondrosis. The amount of humidity in the disc falls, it is dehydrated. Destruction does not yet occur, but after severe dehydration of the nucleus on the fibrous ring, the microfissures begin to appear. Symptoms at this stage of the disease are generally absent.The second stage of osteochondrosis. The height of the disc begins to decrease, which means the gradual attachment of symptoms and the progression of the pathology. In the spine, the distance decreases between its individual segments, which is why the ligaments are busy. At this stage, in a number of patients, the disease causes a sliding of the vertebrae - spondylolistz. Pain, discomfort occurs with exacerbations, painful pain can be present even in remission.The third step. Osteochondrosis of the spine at this stage gives an intense pain syndrome, because complications are starting to form. Most often, it is a protrusion of the disc, less often - osteoarthritis (degeneration) of the vertebral joints, the subluxation of the vertebrae. Pain is supplemented by limiting the mobility of the affected spine segment.The fourth stadium of osteochondrosis. The spine begins to adapt to new living conditions, try to repair the vertebrae in order to protect itself from the final destruction. For this, osteophytes develop. The pain can be hard due to a nerve ending injury.Symptoms of osteochondrosisThe first signs of osteochondrosis usually start at the initial stage when there is no pain yet. In the neck, the lower back, less often - in the thoracic region while moving, you can hear a crunch (this means a violation of the power of the disc, its dehydration). In addition, during overloads, working in an uncomfortable position, a person can note the stiffness of the back or neck muscles. They become "stone" in one or two sides, which is uncomfortable, causes burns, irritation.Subsequently, the symptoms of osteochondosis become more obvious. At rest, a person can feel normal, but working, lifting weights, a dream on an uncomfortable pillow can cause such phenomena:Painful pain;Evils;Hand numbness (with damage to the neck);Feeling of stiffness;Forced decrease in movements;Muscle spasm;Holidays;Increased pressure;Posture violation.
When overloading the patient's spine, osteochondrosis gives more signs and pronounced symptoms. The pain occurs in the shoulders, gives it to its hands, its elbows, headaches appear. With osteochondrosis of the cervical column, there is noise in the ears, dizziness, the vertebral artery syndrome develops and the vision is disturbed. Over time, no muscular atrophy occurs without treatment of osteochondrosis, the skin becomes pale. The course of cardiac pathologies can be aggravated, the work of the liver, the gallbladder and the gastrointestinal tract is disturbed.What is the pathology leading to?The consequences of this disease are always unpleasant, they cause an increase in pain. With osteochondrosis, there is:Disk protection;Prolapse and hernia of the disc;Episodes of Radiculite, Ishias, Lumbago;Cyphosis, scoliosis.The danger for a person largely depends on the type of hernia for osteochondrosis of the spine. They are front, rear, on the side and the most dangerous are the rear hernias - they can press the spinal cord. In the lumbar segment of the spine, the hernies are the most common, mainly between 4 to 5 vertebrae.Lumbar osteochondosis can cause very unpleasant symptoms - shelters (lumbago). Lumbago pain burns, clear, unbearable, it is very difficult to bear. The cause is pinned in the nerve because the patient is damaged by a neuromusal beam. Particularly dangerous for osteochondrosis of the ponytail syndrome, when a person has the pinch of a large packet of vertebral nerves. Consequently, the functions of the intestines, the bladder, can even occur even a leg paralysis.
Signs of osteochondosis are often summed up with severe muscular atrophy. If the muscles do not participate for long in the body, the movements of the spine are limited, then the individual fibers are weakening. Consequently, the patient can become a disabled person chained in bed. Cervical osteochondosis is also very dangerous, because a hernia in this segment can cause a blood supply to the brain. At this point, there is a risk of visual impairment, swallowing, speeches and other brain functions.Diagnosis of the diseaseBy independently recognizing the signs of osteochondrosis, you should think about its treatment. Since the lesion of the spine can reach different stages, the treatment of osteochondrosis will also be uneven. It is important to make the correct diagnosis so that therapy is selected correctly.Due to the generalized prevalence of the disease and the presence of characteristic symptoms, the doctor may assume a diagnosis of a preliminary examination. But for the differentiation of osteochondrosis from other diseases of the rear and internal organs, the following diagnosis is made:X-ray of the spine. It will help identify the height of the discs, the degree of their slimming, as well as the presence of osteophytes.CT, MRI. More preferable to the exam. With this disease, the severity of damage to nerves, soft tissues and to find the smallest protuberances will determine.With osteochondrosis, laboratory tests do not play a key role, but the delivery of a general analysis, biochemistry is necessary to exclude the inflammatory process, rheumatoid lesions from bones, joints. To study the muscular function, the doctor performs a number of physical tests and to clarify the work of blood vessels and nerves, they do a duplex, electromyography.Treatment of osteochondosis drugsIf with the symptoms of osteochondosis and the treatment are determined, it is not worth delaying with the treatment - the disease progresses rapidly. At an early stage, gymnastics is generally recommended, massage to strengthen muscles - it will be sufficient. At the remaining stages of osteochondrosis, drug treatment will be necessary and sometimes surgery.Pain relief is the most unpleasant sign of the disease - you can use non -steroidal anti -inflammatory drugs. They cannot cure osteochondrosis, but they are still prescribed before exercise therapy to relieve symptoms. In serious cases, drugs are administered in injections, but most often, they are recommended by a price of 7 to 14 days in the tablets and locally, in the form of ointments.If a person has a strong pain syndrome in the spine, he is injected directly with injections of glucocorticosteroids in the damage area.Treatment of osteochondrosis is also carried out using the following means:B vitamins B. help improve the nerve conductivity of the spine.Chondroprotectors. They feed intervertebral cartilage, strengthen the discs. Musorelaxants. Reduce the strength of muscle cramps for osteochondrosis.Vascular drugs. Optimize blood circulation in the spine.If osteochondrosis has developed, only chondropropostectors give anesthesia and pathogenic treatment, they are followed in courses for 3 to 6 months. The rest of the drugs have the symptomatic effect and do not affect the course of osteochondrosis itself.Physiotherapy and osteochondrosis
In the list of measures to deal with osteochondrosis, physiotherapeutic techniques necessarily include. Thanks to physiotherapy, the treatment of osteochondosis will be more effective, because the action extends directly to the objective of inflammation. Physiotherapy will relieve pain syndrome, eliminate spasms, improve blood microcirculation, will help eliminate the clips from the nerves. The most popular methods are as follows:Electrophoresis. The treatment of osteochondrosis in this way will provide relaxing and anti-inflammatory substances and anesthetic directly in the area of vertebrae, muscles, ligaments.Ultrasound. Relins unpleasant symptoms, anesthesia, creates the effect of vibration massage, activates metabolism at the local level.Magnetotherapy. Varias or constant magnetic fields eliminate the inflammatory process.All types of physiotherapy must be carried out by courses of 10 to 15 procedures, while individual contraindications are necessarily taken into account.Gymnastics and massageExercise therapy in the treatment of osteochondrosis plays a dominant role. Without treatment of the exercise, it will not be possible to form a strong muscle corset, and the latter is very necessary to maintain a sick spine. In addition, gymnastics improves blood circulation in the vertebral area, improves metabolic processes and helps to quickly eliminate disintegration products.How to cure osteochondrosis with gymnastics? The complex is selected only individually, and only at 1 to 2 steps, it can be carried out without the doctor control. In the last stages, unnecessary and stronger movements can cause disperses of the disc and strengthen the problem. At 3 steps, all exercises are only carried out in a lie position.For the treatment of osteochondrosis, a massage is necessary. At the acute stage, they don't - it will cause a thrill. But the massage properly carried out at the chronic stage with osteochondosis is essential. After the course of the sessions, the muscles relax, the pliers are eliminated, the nerves and the blood vessels begin to operate normally. The massage is only carried out in soft mode, without sudden movements.
Pathology preventionIn order not to put in surgery for osteochondrosis, it is important to carefully consider the prevention measures:Do not allow hypodynamia. This disease can progress with current charges, but swimming, skis, the load will not benefit and will help strengthen muscles and health as a whole.Follow the posture. At work and at home, it is important to sit properly, not to hang and childhood.Sleep on comfortable pillows. There are preventive pillows, with existing osteochondosis, several other therapeutics are used.Do not lift the weights. If necessary, you must sit down, get up with the object, holding your back straight.Regularly make classes to strengthen the muscles. This is important for neck, back, press, lower back muscles.Wear comfortable shoes. Orthopedic shoes will not allow the risk factor of defeating the vertebrae.It is also important to eat well, not smoking, enriching the diet with vitamins, consuming more liquids - so that the probability of pathology will decrease.

This is important for neck, back, press, lower back muscles.Wear comfortable shoes. Orthopedic shoes will not allow the risk factor of defeating the vertebrae.It is also important to eat well, not smoking, enriching the diet with vitamins, consuming more liquids - so that the probability of pathology will decrease.
Steps of the diseaseThe intervertebral disc consists of liquid and solid parts. The first is in the center, representing a nucleus which gives elasticity. The nucleus is surrounded by a strong ring from above. It is with the liquid structure that all the pathological changes of the disc begin, which later spread to its shell.In medicine, four stages of osteochondosis development are distinguished. This refers to the parole of pathology by the severity of violations in the spine:The first stage of osteochondrosis. The amount of humidity in the disc falls, it is dehydrated. Destruction does not yet occur, but after severe dehydration of the nucleus on the fibrous ring, the microfissures begin to appear. Symptoms at this stage of the disease are generally absent.The second stage of osteochondrosis. The height of the disc begins to decrease, which means the gradual attachment of symptoms and the progression of the pathology. In the spine, the distance decreases between its individual segments, which is why the ligaments are busy. At this stage, in a number of patients, the disease causes a sliding of the vertebrae - spondylolistz. Pain, discomfort occurs with exacerbations, painful pain can be present even in remission.The third step. Osteochondrosis of the spine at this stage gives an intense pain syndrome, because complications are starting to form. Most often, it is a protrusion of the disc, less often - osteoarthritis (degeneration) of the vertebral joints, the subluxation of the vertebrae. Pain is supplemented by limiting the mobility of the affected spine segment.The fourth stadium of osteochondrosis. The spine begins to adapt to new living conditions, try to repair the vertebrae in order to protect itself from the final destruction. For this, osteophytes develop. The pain can be hard due to a nerve ending injury.Symptoms of osteochondrosisThe first signs of osteochondrosis usually start at the initial stage when there is no pain yet. In the neck, the lower back, less often - in the thoracic region while moving, you can hear a crunch (this means a violation of the power of the disc, its dehydration). In addition, during overloads, working in an uncomfortable position, a person can note the stiffness of the back or neck muscles. They become "stone" in one or two sides, which is uncomfortable, causes burns, irritation.Subsequently, the symptoms of osteochondosis become more obvious. At rest, a person can feel normal, but working, lifting weights, a dream on an uncomfortable pillow can cause such phenomena:Painful pain;Evils;Hand numbness (with damage to the neck);Feeling of stiffness;Forced decrease in movements;Muscle spasm;Holidays;Increased pressure;Posture violation.When overloading the patient's spine, osteochondrosis gives more signs and pronounced symptoms. The pain occurs in the shoulders, gives it to its hands, its elbows, headaches appear. With osteochondrosis of the cervical column, there is noise in the ears, dizziness, the vertebral artery syndrome develops and the vision is disturbed. Over time, no muscular atrophy occurs without treatment of osteochondrosis, the skin becomes pale. The course of cardiac pathologies can be aggravated, the work of the liver, the gallbladder and the gastrointestinal tract is disturbed.What is the pathology leading to?The consequences of this disease are always unpleasant, they cause an increase in pain. With osteochondrosis, there is:Disk protection;Prolapse and hernia of the disc;Episodes of Radiculite, Ishias, Lumbago;Cyphosis, scoliosis.The danger for a person largely depends on the type of hernia for osteochondrosis of the spine. They are front, rear, on the side and the most dangerous are the rear hernias - they can press the spinal cord. In the lumbar segment of the spine, the hernies are the most common, mainly between 4 to 5 vertebrae.Lumbar osteochondosis can cause very unpleasant symptoms - shelters (lumbago). Lumbago pain burns, clear, unbearable, it is very difficult to bear. The cause is pinned in the nerve because the patient is damaged by a neuromusal beam. Particularly dangerous for osteochondrosis of the ponytail syndrome, when a person has the pinch of a large packet of vertebral nerves. Consequently, the functions of the intestines, the bladder, can even occur even a leg paralysis.Signs of osteochondosis are often summed up with severe muscular atrophy. If the muscles do not participate for long in the body, the movements of the spine are limited, then the individual fibers are weakening. Consequently, the patient can become a disabled person chained in bed. Cervical osteochondosis is also very dangerous, because a hernia in this segment can cause a blood supply to the brain. At this point, there is a risk of visual impairment, swallowing, speeches and other brain functions.Diagnosis of the diseaseBy independently recognizing the signs of osteochondrosis, you should think about its treatment. Since the lesion of the spine can reach different stages, the treatment of osteochondrosis will also be uneven. It is important to make the correct diagnosis so that therapy is selected correctly.Due to the generalized prevalence of the disease and the presence of characteristic symptoms, the doctor may assume a diagnosis of a preliminary examination. But for the differentiation of osteochondrosis from other diseases of the rear and internal organs, the following diagnosis is made:X-ray of the spine. It will help identify the height of the discs, the degree of their slimming, as well as the presence of osteophytes.CT, MRI. More preferable to the exam. With this disease, the severity of damage to nerves, soft tissues and to find the smallest protuberances will determine.With osteochondrosis, laboratory tests do not play a key role, but the delivery of a general analysis, biochemistry is necessary to exclude the inflammatory process, rheumatoid lesions from bones, joints. To study the muscular function, the doctor performs a number of physical tests and to clarify the work of blood vessels and nerves, they do a duplex, electromyography.Treatment of osteochondosis drugsIf with the symptoms of osteochondosis and the treatment are determined, it is not worth delaying with the treatment - the disease progresses rapidly. At an early stage, gymnastics is generally recommended, massage to strengthen muscles - it will be sufficient. At the remaining stages of osteochondrosis, drug treatment will be necessary and sometimes surgery.Pain relief is the most unpleasant sign of the disease - you can use non -steroidal anti -inflammatory drugs. They cannot cure osteochondrosis, but they are still prescribed before exercise therapy to relieve symptoms. In serious cases, drugs are administered in injections, but most often, they are recommended by a price of 7 to 14 days in the tablets and locally, in the form of ointments.If a person has a strong pain syndrome in the spine, he is injected directly with injections of glucocorticosteroids in the damage area.Treatment of osteochondrosis is also carried out using the following means:B vitamins B. help improve the nerve conductivity of the spine.Chondroprotectors. They feed intervertebral cartilage, strengthen the discs. Musorelaxants. Reduce the strength of muscle cramps for osteochondrosis.Vascular drugs. Optimize blood circulation in the spine.If osteochondrosis has developed, only chondropropostectors give anesthesia and pathogenic treatment, they are followed in courses for 3 to 6 months. The rest of the drugs have the symptomatic effect and do not affect the course of osteochondrosis itself.Physiotherapy and osteochondrosisIn the list of measures to deal with osteochondrosis, physiotherapeutic techniques necessarily include. Thanks to physiotherapy, the treatment of osteochondosis will be more effective, because the action extends directly to the objective of inflammation. Physiotherapy will relieve pain syndrome, eliminate spasms, improve blood microcirculation, will help eliminate the clips from the nerves. The most popular methods are as follows:Electrophoresis. The treatment of osteochondrosis in this way will provide relaxing and anti-inflammatory substances and anesthetic directly in the area of vertebrae, muscles, ligaments.Ultrasound. Relins unpleasant symptoms, anesthesia, creates the effect of vibration massage, activates metabolism at the local level.Magnetotherapy. Varias or constant magnetic fields eliminate the inflammatory process.All types of physiotherapy must be carried out by courses of 10 to 15 procedures, while individual contraindications are necessarily taken into account.Gymnastics and massageExercise therapy in the treatment of osteochondrosis plays a dominant role. Without treatment of the exercise, it will not be possible to form a strong muscle corset, and the latter is very necessary to maintain a sick spine. In addition, gymnastics improves blood circulation in the vertebral area, improves metabolic processes and helps to quickly eliminate disintegration products.How to cure osteochondrosis with gymnastics? The complex is selected only individually, and only at 1 to 2 steps, it can be carried out without the doctor control. In the last stages, unnecessary and stronger movements can cause disperses of the disc and strengthen the problem. At 3 steps, all exercises are only carried out in a lie position.For the treatment of osteochondrosis, a massage is necessary. At the acute stage, they don't - it will cause a thrill. But the massage properly carried out at the chronic stage with osteochondosis is essential. After the course of the sessions, the muscles relax, the pliers are eliminated, the nerves and the blood vessels begin to operate normally. The massage is only carried out in soft mode, without sudden movements.Pathology preventionIn order not to put in surgery for osteochondrosis, it is important to carefully consider the prevention measures:Do not allow hypodynamia. This disease can progress with current charges, but swimming, skis, the load will not benefit and will help strengthen muscles and health as a whole.Follow the posture. At work and at home, it is important to sit properly, not to hang and childhood.Sleep on comfortable pillows. There are preventive pillows, with existing osteochondosis, several other therapeutics are used.Do not lift the weights. If necessary, you must sit down, get up with the object, holding your back straight.Regularly make classes to strengthen the muscles. This is important for neck, back, press, lower back muscles.Wear comfortable shoes. Orthopedic shoes will not allow the risk factor of defeating the vertebrae.It is also important to eat well, not smoking, enriching the diet with vitamins, consuming more liquids - so that the probability of pathology will decrease.
