Everyone who has experienced back, lumbar, chest or neck pain at least once in their lives. The first symptoms of pain and signs of pathological disorders of the articular cartilage occur in people of the middle age after 30-35 years.
Symptomatic signs of osteochondrosis do not distinguish between the sexual person and can therefore affect the vertebrate vertebrae in both men and women. However, there is a sad tendency to rejuvenate bone disease when osteochondrosis is observed in children of middle and senior school age.
The international classifier of diseases of the 10th installation determines osteochondrosis to the class of diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissues. Osteochondrosis is divided into several categories:
The causes of osteochondrosis are associated with impaired metabolism in the binding tissues of the articular cartilage, characterized by degenerative dystrophic changes in the ligamentary apparatus of the musculoskeletal system and a general disorder of the musculoskeletal system in the structural segments of the spine.
Pain syndrome occurs as a result of a disorder of deformation of the integrity of the intervertebral discs, leading to the axial displacement of the vertebrae and as a result, the nerve roots in the spinal ducts are pinched. The symptoms and signs of osteochondrosis can affect all departments of the vertebrae, sometimes developing for several years, they do not cause uncomfortable sensations.
In most cases, the causes of osteochondrosis are related to the professional activity of a person. The risk group includes the following professional categories:
However, it is noted that the signs of osteochondrosis are much more common in women than in the stronger sex. Many medical experts agree that the cause of osteochondrosis is a prolonged, high -content shoes. As a rule, the first symptoms of manifestations of neurological diseases are diagnosed in women after 25 years.
There are frequent cases where the causes of osteochondrosis are caused by pregnancy. A person's lifestyle doesn't matter. People who are prone to obesity make up the largest percentage of patients with a neurological clinic. The proper posture and growth of a person is also of great importance. It is most often that the osteochondrosis of the spine of the spine is most often determined.
In general, the expected factors for the development of the disease include:
However, the most important causal factor in the development of neurological pathology is the hereditary (genetic) predisposition of a person to joint diseases, which is felt in childhood or youth.
With osteochondrosis, symptoms and treatment are determined depending on the severity of the disease. So, the development of osteochondrosis has 4 stages of the course of the disease:
In neurology, osteochondrosis is divided into several types:
There is also general osteochondrosis on the back when several departments of the musculoskeletal system fall into the area of damage.
Consider the causes of osteochondrosis and what symptoms of neurological disease occur in a particular area of damage.
Cervical osteochondrosis, symptoms and signs:
With neuralgic pathology of the thoracic column, osteochondrosis manifests with the following symptoms and signs:
Before treating osteochondrosis of the thoracic region, it is necessary to clearly diagnose neurological pathology, since the symptomatic signs are very similar to other diseases of the respiratory, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal systems.
Back osteochondrosis is the most common category of vertebral neurological disorder. The victim and/or lumbar parts of the musculoskeletal structure of the spine fall into the area of lesion.
With posterior osteochondrosis, symptoms, causes and treatment, it is necessary to determine that it is differentiated, since this anatomical part of the human body is most vulnerable to various injuries and neurological conditions. Often, the spinal area in the lower back is subjected to other clinical pathologies, such as pinching the sciatic nerve, needles, radiculitis, etc.
The main characteristic of the neurological lesion of the lumbar zone is the pain, which increases during exercise. Symptoms of spinal osteochondrosis:
Osteochondrosis in children does not differ in symptoms of pain from adult patients. Degenerative dystrophic disorders in a child are a consequence of the genetic dependence of the musculoskeletal system. However, there is another reason for osteochondrosis in the child, when the young body falls under the strongest overload of the musculoskeletal system. We are talking about professional sports or heavy physical work performed by children.
Diagnostic examination includes the following measures:
Effectively treats degenerative disorders of the spine, probably only in the initial stage of the disease, when there are no complicating factors and a clear determination of the causes of osteochondrosis. The treatment of the disease implies a comprehensive medical approach to the problem.
At the initial stage, the drug is made on the articular cartilage and physiotherapy procedures will help to restore the lost plasticity of the bone system. The last stage of the whole treatment of the musculoskeletal system is to observe the medical and preventative measures.
After establishing the symptoms, signs and causes of osteochondrosis, the treatment of neuralgic pathology begins with conservative therapy, which allows to eliminate pain syndrome and relieve inflammatory stress in the tissue structure of the spine. The relief of the symptom of pain is performed by various therapeutic blockages, epidural and other actions. The services of medical workers have provided a wide selection of medicinal pharmacological groups and medicines that allow you to stop pain loads and reduce muscle tonic syndrome. Recovery of vertebrate activity with the help of physiotherapy:
During the recovery and preventive period, it is very effective in the use of massage (hydromassage) and physiotherapy and physical education (exercise therapy) that strengthen the muscle corset of the lower back, chest or cervical parts of the vertebrae and also contribute to the decompression of nerve bellies.
Proper medical nutrition is of great importance as it increases the activity of medication treatment. There are no special conditions when choosing a diet. Dietary recommendations are only based on limiting certain foods and compliance with balanced dietary rules. The products used must provide the body with the necessary spectrum of useful vitamins and mineral components, with a minimal amount of salt.
Recommended food:
Food products that need to be restricted in the daily diet:
It is important to know that the daily use of two liters of purified water will stimulate the work of the joint elements of the spine and also improve the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract.
Traditional medicine recipes Treatment for traditional medicine is an alternative way of affecting the joint structure of the spine. However, such treatment should be performed with officially prescribed drugs for drug therapy.
Recipe # 1. SABER. The alcoholic tincture of herbaceous perennial plant can be rubbed with problem areas of the spine. In 200 g. Dry raw materials are taken from 500 ml of alcohol or product that is alcohol.
Recipe # 2. Homemade osteochondrosis ointment. The composition of the ingredients:
Flour - 1 tbsp L. ; Chicken egg - 1 pc. ; oil - 80 g; Dining vinegar (9%) - 1 tbsp l. All therapeutic components are mixed thoroughly and exposed to a dry and dark place for 2-3 days. The medicinal product is rubbed into the problem areas of the vertebrae.
Recipe # 3. Black radish tincture. In order to prepare a healing composition, it is necessary:
100 ml of vodka or diluted alcohol; 200 g of natural beekeeping product (honey); 300 ml fresh black radish juice. All ingredients are mixed and cost 12 hours. Such a home compress will be an effective treatment for treatment not only for osteochondrosis, but will also help with other neurological disorders of the musculoskeletal system, such as radiculitis or rheumatism of the joints of the skeletal frame.
Preventive measures Therapeutic prevention consists in proper nutrition, personal and sanitary hygiene, as well as in accordance with the healthy norms of hostel. You should also protect your body from exposure to infectious and bacterial agents. Daily physical education, walking in the fresh air, water treatments in summer and winter weather will have a beneficial effect on the body as a whole and on the joint segments of the spine. It is especially important to perform preventive medical actions with a growing body, that is, children.
Take care of yourself and always be healthy!
