Osteochondrosis of the spine is one of the most common diseases.Osteochondrosis occurs with increased load on the spine and in people leading a sedentary lifestyle (office workers who sit at the computer for a long time).
You feel stiffness in the back in the morning, limited movement in one part of the spine.These are perhaps the first symptoms of an insidious disease that has become much younger in recent years: osteochondrosis of the spine.
The disease can last a long time without external manifestations.
The first signs of imbalance, which should consult a doctor, are:
- back muscle tension,
- back pain,
- periodic restriction of movement in the cervical, thoracic or lumbar regions,
- 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 disc deformation;osteoarthritis forms in the intervertebral joints.Treatment should be started in the early stages of the disease.
Methods for diagnosing osteochondrosis include X-ray diagnosis 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 (kinesitherapy) is carried out according to the method of unloading the joints - lying down, sitting, using isometric exercises, in which the muscles, although tense, do not change their length and there is no movement in the joints.
Spinal traction
Traction is performed to eliminate back pain, promotes:
- stretching of spasmodic muscles,
- unloading of intervertebral discs,
- increased diastase between the articular surfaces of the intervertebral joints,
- relief of compression of the nerve formations of the spine.
Through the use of this procedure, 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 spasmed muscles and improve nutrition of the spine.
Physiotherapy
In the treatment and prevention of osteochondrosis, to improve the 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 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 medications are not used.There are no side effects.The duration of the procedure is 20 to 40 minutes.The duration of treatment includes 3-10 procedures performed every 1-2 days.
Therapeutic massage
In the treatment and prevention of osteochondrosis, to improve the nutrition of the spine, cartilage and joints, 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 “intelligent” hands finds therapeutic techniques that alleviate the patient’s condition.
