Our lives do not stand still, changes often occur in it, but are they all useful to our bodies? There are many reasons for the deterioration of his work. Therefore, an inactive lifestyle involves an increase in the number of various diseases.
One of the most common diseases of our time was osteochondrosis. In recent years, more than half of the population has been ill in some countries in some countries. At the same time, the age of the disease decreases to 20-30 years.
This fact makes every one of us think about this problem. It needs to have at least a minimum idea of osteochondrosis what contributes to the development of the disease, as it usually presents itself, how rationally can be prevented, and possibly to stop the disease in the early stages of development.
The concept of medical
Osteochondrosis is a common disease in which the joints suffer, and the cartilage between them is destroyed. In most cases, osteochondrosis affects the spine, where, as a result of intervertebral disc deformation, very serious complications arise, leading to pain in various parts of the body.
Cause
There are many reasons for the development of problems with the spine, in particular, curvature can arise because:
- Sed by a lifestyle. These are "inactive" work, lack of physical activity, refusal to do warm or charge. In this case, the muscle corset loses its strength, after which the load performed by the spine is mainly on the intervertebral disc.
- A strong load. Load is a feature of people whose work consists of transferring heavy cargo. The wrong back form when lifting the severity can cause intervertebral disc stratification, reduction and pinching many nerves located in this area. In addition, in the same risk group, athletes that burden their bodies daily, in particular, the spine.
- Already acquired spinal disease. If the thoracic region is slightly curved, but no steps are taken, there is a probability of osteochondrosis.
- Mineral deficiency in the body. Low calcium levels are one of the main causes of intervertebral disc integrity.
Type of osteochondrosis
First, this is cervical osteochondrosis, which is most common in people with an inactive lifestyle. With cervical osteochondrosis, a slight load on the neck leads to the fact that the vertebrae is transferred, which is related to the vessels and nerves. It is with this type of disease that has headaches, dizziness, pain in the hands and numbness of the tongue.
Thoracic osteochondrosis is a very rare type of disease. The cause of its appearance may be scoliosis.
There is no acute spinal pain in this case, but you can see the pain in the chest and the heart region. Men with breast osteochondrosis often experience impotence.
With lumbar osteochondrosis, complications in the form of intervertebral hernia in the lumbar region are possible. This type of disease is characterized by the presence of pain in the lower and lower leg, the patient's mobility is limited: the patient cannot turn or lean.
Symptoms of osteochondrosis
The manifestation of osteochondrosis has different signs depending on the level of the disease. There is usually pain in space near the joints. With spinal osteochondrosis, weight and severe pain in the back and other parts of the body are most commonly observed.
Often, with osteochondrosis, the patient has numbness and pain in the limbs. Symptoms are enhanced by physical movement and rough movement. Osteochondrosis of the cervical area causes severe pain in the head, as well as in the shoulder and hand area.
Also, with damage to the middle of the spinal cord, chest pain (often in the liver) and pain in some internal organs is felt.
Stage of development of disease
There are 4 stages of such problems with the chest department, and each of these stages is accompanied by characteristic symptoms:
- 1-2. In the first stage of spinal osteochondrosis, the height of the disc standing decreased. The cracks are formed in the fibrous ring, but the process does not follow the back of the intervertebral disc. The point where the ligaments, the muscles are attached, change due to significant height violations. Improvement is formed due to sagging muscles, as well as ligaments in the spinal motor segment. Sometimes, due to excessive mobility of neighboring vertebrae, spondylolists are formed.
- 3-4. At this stage, the vertebra is prominent, leading to a major disorder in the spine. Strong disorders often lead to hernia. During the development of osteochondrosis, the patient's body tries to balance vertebral mobility, form of osteophytes - small bone growth. Over time, the motor segment seems to be closed in the shell.
What method is used for diagnosis
Timely detection of diseases in the early stages can be carried out using modern MRI tools, which provide doctors with more accurate data on vertebral conditions than X -ray or ultrasound.
How to treat osteochondrosis?
In the treatment of osteochondrosis, conservative methods have proven themselves well, designed to eliminate pain and prevent the development of damaging processes in the spinal structure. If such treatment does not lead to positive outcomes, surgical intervention may be required.
The duration of treatment depends on the level of the disease, the age of the patient and how carefully the patient fulfills the appointment and recommendation of the doctor. Often, such treatment takes several months, after surgery it follows the recovery, which lasts for a year.

Conservative treatments include methods such as physiotherapy, physiotherapy, massage, manual therapy, reflexology and, eventually, drug therapy.
Complex treatment, not construction. It includes physiotherapy, manual therapy, massage, if necessary - spinal attraction and taking a variety of medicines.

Physiotherapy for osteochondrosis
Drug therapy often has limited effects and often has a negative effect on the functioning of other body systems. Therefore, today's physiotherapy treatment method is actively introduced into the recovery process.
Physiotherapy is considered an effective method of treatment, as it affects the vertebra that is directly damaged and significantly reduces pain after the first session.
Physiotherapy allows:
- limit or eliminate pain completely;
- loosening the compressed muscles;
- remove swelling caused by inflammation;
- to establish blood flow to the affected segment of the spine;
- Nervous free of pinching;
- accelerate the process of cartilage joints together;
- Increase general tone and performance.
Depending on the nature of pain (acute and subacute), damage to one or other departments, the cause of the development of the disease, physiotherapists can prescribe physiotherapy, based on mechanical, electric, sound, light effect on tissue, magnetotherapy.
