Osteochondrosis: causes and treatment

Osteochondrosis:

It is a disease of the vertebral-motor segment, affecting primarily the intervertebral discs, and then - the remaining parts of the spine, the nervous system. Squeezing the spinal cord and its roots provoke back pain, numbness of the limbs.

The first symptoms of the disease can appear already in adolescence. The disease can go into a chronic form if it is not treated, and the pain occurs at the slightest load - sneezing, coughing, sudden movements.

It is a lesion of the intervertebral discs and other tissues of the spine. The disease develops due to disruption in the nutrition of the structures of the spine. For proper treatment, it is important to eliminate the original cause of the disease.

The main reason for the appearance of the disease is a sedentary lifestyle and a violation of posture. Some muscles are not involved in the movement, others are under heavy load. Excessive stress leads to joint strain: because of this, functional blocks of the spine and lack of nutrition appear, which leads to pain.

Symptoms of the disease

• swelling of soft tissues;
• a headache
• violation of reflexes;
• distant pain in the arms, legs, shoulders, in the thoracic region, in the pelvic region;
• decreased mobility of joints;
• numbness of limbs and back muscles;
• continuous aching pains in the back, which intensify during minimal loads.

Consequences of osteochondrosis:

It is good to diagnose the disease in time and begin treatment. If you do not start therapy in time, the disease leads to ankylosis - the fusion of the joints of the spine, worsening of the blood supply to distant internal organs, the violation of sexual functions.

The period of treatment depends on the degree of neglect of the disease. The longer the disease progresses, the longer the course of treatment, so it is important to diagnose osteochondrosis in time and eliminate its cause.

Diagnosis of osteochondrosis

It is aimed at eliminating muscle imbalance, restoring blood flow and innervation, providing organs and tissues with nerve cells.

the doctor will determine the degree of impaired posture, the mobility of the spine and joints, palpate soft tissue in the painful sections.

Treatment of osteochondrosis

The main task of the center is not just to get rid of pain, but to establish the cause and eradicate it.

The simulator is designed taking into account the physiological characteristics of a person. Classes on the simulator operate aiming and are metered. The movements on it are performed automatically, without any extra effort. During the treatment, only the necessary muscles are involved, while the load on the joints is evenly distributed.

During treatment, the patient is under the supervision of a rehabilitation specialist, who controls the correctness of movements, corrects the load, and provides psychological support. Painful syndromes decrease after the first sessions, and with each occupation, the patient's condition improves.

Control inspection by a specialist and topography is carried out after every three sessions on the simulator. The result of treatment for osteochondrosis will be complete relief from pain.
