Osteochondrosis of the spine is one of the most common diseases.Osteochondrosis occurs with increased stress on the spine and in people who lead 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 may be the first symptoms of an insidious disease that has become much younger in recent years - spinal osteochondrosis.
The disease can last for a long time without external manifestations.
The first signs of imbalance that you should see a doctor are:
- muscle tension in the back,
- back pain,
- periodic restriction 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, leading to disc deformation;arthrosis forms in the intervertebral joints.Treatment must be started in the early stages of the disease.
Methods for diagnosing osteochondrosis include X-ray diagnostics and magnetic tomography of the spine (MRI).
7 complex procedures for the treatment and prevention of osteochondrosis
Therapeutic exercise
Particular emphasis is placed on exercises for the muscles of the neck and back.For patients with osteochondrosis, physiotherapy (physical therapy) is carried out in the state 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
Pulls are performed to eliminate back pain, promote:
- stretching of spastic muscles,
- reading of intervertebral discs,
- increased diastasis between the articular surfaces of the intervertebral joints,
- relief of compression of the nerve formations in the spine.
As a result of the use of this procedure, the pathological processes occurring in the spine are weakened, and active improvement of weakened functions in the affected parts of the spine begins.
Acupuncture
In the treatment and prevention of osteochondrosis, to improve nutrition of the spine and joints, acupuncture is prescribed to relax spasmodic muscles and improve 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 medicine is used.There are no side effects.The procedure time is 20-40 minutes.The course of treatment is 3-10 procedures, which are performed every 1-2 days.
