Osteochondral disease- Spine disease, characterized by degenerative diseases of the intervertebral disc, and then the vertebral tissue itself.
The main sign of osteochondrosis is neck or back pain. Among other symptoms, muscle atrophy, impaired sensitivity, obstacles in the work of internal organs. According to the location of the pathological process, cervical, chest and lumbar osteochondral diseases are distinguished. If the disease and its treatment do not have the necessary attention, the damage process to the spine will be irreversible.
In the English literature, the term "osteochondrosis" refers to a group of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, such as osteochondrosis.
The main factor or cause of osteochondrosis development is the uneven distribution of spinal load, which occurs when the load on the spine is unevenly distributed, when wearing a hand or weight shoulder (e. g. , bag, backpack), staying on the wrong posture for a long time in the wrong posture, resting on the unequal mattress or pillow at night. Other factors can also be sedentary lifestyles, obesity, injury and flat feet.
All of the above conditions have caused frequent pain in the cervical spine, chest or S bones over the years.
According to statistics, osteochondrosis occurs in 40% to 90% of the world's population, mainly starting from the age of 30-35. Under adverse conditions, the disease develops in puberty patients, which often leads to severe discomfortable wear of backpacks, especially on one shoulder, uncomfortable shoes and injuries.
The development of osteochondrosis
The development of osteochondrosis occurs in four selected stages (degrees):
Stage 1 osteochondrosis.It is characterized by the beginning of the pathological process in the spinal pulposus of the intervertebral disc - its dehydration (dehydration) occurs, and later the height of the disk decreases. At the same time, the cracks began to appear in the fibrous annulus. At this stage, patients usually don’t feel any change. Discomfort can be manifested in a person's position or active exercise.
Osteochondrosis stage 2.As the height of the intervertebral disc decreases, the distance between adjacent vertebrae decreases, and vertebrates and ligaments begin to sag slightly. This process leads to very important two adjacent vertebrae, which may cause its sliding and/or displacement. Form spinal muscles. Due to vertebrae displacement, patients are under a certain load and feel real discomfort, sometimes painful in the field of pathology.
Osteochondrosis stage 3.It is characterized by the formation of hair loss and protrusions of the intervertebral disc, and sometimes subluxation and arthritis occur in the intervertebral joints. Patients may feel stiff during certain exercises, tingling in the tingling of limbs, and sometimes numbness. According to the location of the disease, pain in the third osteochondria, back, neck and tail areas.
Osteochondrosis stage 4.The body tries to correct the excessive mobility of the vertebrae and normalize the function of the spine. At the location where the vertebrae connects to the pathology, bone tumors grow in each case - bone plants, when formed in unnecessary locations, they can lead to microneurs in the nerve spine, and sometimes even nearby vertebrae. In intervertebral discs and joints, the process of fibrous ankylogen can be started. The motor section is overgrown, as if it is surrounded by a wall. Meanwhile, the main signs of osteochondrosis are minimized, sometimes not even noticeable.
Symptoms of osteochondrosis
The main symptoms of osteochondrosis are back or neck pain. The intensity of the pain and other related signs of the disease depend on the degree of osteocartilage.
Of course, due to the pathology of intervertebral discs, their hernia grows on the vertebrae (bone plants), so there are a large number of diseases, such as circulatory system diseases, nerve clamping, nerve clamping, irritation and in the normal function of the spinal cord, moisture, moisture, uniform fibrosis, pertebrae. All of these diseases cause a wide range of clinical manifestations of the disease and are expressed through a large number of different symptoms, so it is difficult to make a correct diagnosis and prescribe proper treatment without a thorough diagnosis of osteocartilage.
However, we will consider the main symptoms of osteochondrosis:
- Pain in the back, cervical area, lower back, shoulders and even ribs;
- Discomfort, stiffness in the back, some movements, and some things were raised;
- Numbness of limbs (arms and/or legs);
- Feelings of pain in the arms and legs, chills;
- Muscle spasms;
- Diseases in genital work;
- Headache, dizziness;
- Heartache;
- Impaired sensitivity;
- Muscle hypotension;
- Increases fatigue, sometimes the eyes.
In addition, the following symptoms are distinguished according to the spinal area hit by osteochondrosis:
Osteocartilage degeneration in the cervical vertebrae.Hand and shoulder pain prevails, headache, dizziness, "flies" or spots in front of the eyes, head noise. These signs can also indicate the presence of vertebral artery syndrome, which can also complicate the work of the myocardium and blood vessels if there are other diseases in it.
Osteochondrosis of the thoracic vertebrae.Pain and discomfort in the chest, heart area.
Osteochondral disease in the lumbar spine.Pain in the lower back prevails, providing it to the legs or pelvic organs. Violating sexual function.
Complications of osteochondrosis
If osteochondrosis is not treated and placed on the groove, it may lead to the development of the following diseases and pathology:
- Hernia of the intervertebral disc (hernia of the spine);
- protrude;
- Kyphosis;
- Radiitis;
- deposited in the space between the vertebrae of salt;
- Spinal cord stroke;
- Reduce limbs and their atrophy;
- Leg paralysis.
Causes of osteochondrosis
- Mechanical trauma in the back (spine);
- physical overvoltage in the body, working hard;
- Nervous fatigue, stress;
- Violating metabolism and poisoning;
- Always stay in places where vibration increases;
- Genetic tendency;
- A sedentary lifestyle, a sedentary work;
- Violating posture from childhood;
- Too much weight, obesity;
- Flat feet
- Wear uncomfortable shoes (narrow, high heels);
- Discomfortable night vacation in bed - mattresses, pillows;
- Frequent dehydration;
- Nutrition under nutrition, secondary amine disease;
- Smoking;
- Pregnant.
Classification of osteochondrosis
Osteochondrosis classification is very diverse because the disease itself has not been fully studied.
We highlight the most prevalent way of isolating the disease.
Osteochondrosis is a distinction. . .
By localization:
- Cervical ©
- Chest area (TH or D)
- Waist (L)
- s bone part
Diagnosis of osteochondrosis
The diagnosis of osteochondrosis includes the following examination methods:
- Exorcizing blood;
- X-ray examination (x-Ray);
- Bone marrow science;
- Neurological examination.
In addition, they can appoint:
- Computed tomography (CT);
- nuclear magnetic resonance (JAMR);
- Magnetic resonance tomography (MRI).
Treatment of osteochondrosis
Treatment of osteochondrosis means using a set of measures that must be implemented over a considerable period of time (from 1-3 months + about 1 year to recovery), and many patients respond very vaguely to this. Therefore, it should be noted that indirectly with the advice of the attending physician, the prediction of patient recovery is small.
Another problem in treating osteochondrosis is usually self-determined. The truth is, as already written in this article, the clinical situation is very ambiguous and extensive using this disease. The patient without a diagnosis began to choose medication to prevent injury from injury, eliminate pain, and then deal with his daily life while the disease continued to progress.
The treatment of osteochondrosis is performed through two main methods: conservative and surgical treatment. In addition, there are general recommendations for the treatment of osteochondrosis (e. g. diet, rehabilitation).
Conservative treatment of osteochondrosis
Conservative treatment of osteochondrosis is designed to prevent pain syndrome, normalization of the spine and its components, and prevent further malnutrition changes in the "axis" of the human being.
Conservative osteochondrosis treatment includes:
Drug therapy.It is used to reduce pain and inflammation in spinal components of tissues, as well as normalization of metabolic processes.
To stop the pain and inflammation processes, various therapeutic blocks were also used. Furthermore, they contribute to the reduction of muscle tone syndrome. In therapeutic blockades, there are: blockade of trigger points, as well as intraosseous, capillary and epidural blockades.
physiotherapy.It is used to relieve pain, enhance the effectiveness of medication and recovery. Ultrasonic, laser, magnetic field, low frequency current, etc.
Medical sports (exercise therapy), exercise therapy.Specially selected, exercises designed to correct muscle corsets, strengthen posture, correct posture, normalization of muscle tissue and its flexibility, and decompression of nerve roots to prevent complications of the disease. All of the above is due to the normalization of metabolism and the nutrition of the intervertebral disc, blood circulation, restoration of the distance between the intervertebral disc and the vertebral bone, and the distribution of loads on the entire musculoskeletal system.
massage.It is used to improve blood circulation, relieve stiffness and tension of muscle tissue, and improve health.
Hydrate.It helps with increased blood circulation, metabolism, muscle tone, and normalization of nervous system normalization. It suggests a human massage with the help of a water flow targeting a certain pressure. Indeed, bubbles provided to the human body using special fully equipped bathrooms or swimming pools have been popular recently.
Manual therapy.It is used according to a separate selected program and has a great impact on the skeletal muscle system. It helps improve blood circulation and lymphatic cycle, metabolism, musculoskeletal system mobility, strengthen the immune system and prevent possible complications.
Extension of the spine (traction).It is used to use special devices to increase intervertebral space, correct the structure of the spine, which often leads to minimize or complete relief of pain.
The above treatments have a good effect in the comprehensive use of osteocartilage.
Diet for osteocartilage
If there is osteocartilage degeneration, it is necessary to eat it 6 times a day, and a small part of it drinks at least 1. 5 liters of water a day.
What can be eaten with osteochondrosis:Dairy products, low-fat meat (chicken, beef), jelly, flooded fish, jelly meat, fresh vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, carrots, beets, peppers, peppers, cabbage, celery, broccoli), fruits, fruits, avocado, avocado, jam, jam, jam, jam, jam, jam, jam, jam, jam, eggs sut, sunshine, spinach, spinach, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass.
What needs to be minimized in osteocartilage:Grapes, beans (peas, beans, etc. ), flour products, spicy seasonings, sugar, salt foods, broth and smoked meat.
It is best to cook food because using this preparation method, the product can retain the maximum amount of vitamins and trace elements.
Try seasoning salad with olive oil.
Surgical treatment of osteochondrosis
If the conservative approach is ineffective, surgical treatment of osteochondrosis is used. Prescribed by the attending physician. It can also be used for severe spine and its components.
Treatment of osteochondral disease with folk therapy
Folk remedies against osteochondrosis
Dough.Prepare a little dough from rye flour (300g) and lie down at room temperature for a few days. Drink a glass of milk and wipe the area on your back where turpentine hurts. Once the dough is wrapped in gauze, attach it to the sore spots, tie cellophane to the top, and tie a scarf or towel to it. After a while, you will feel burning and stinging in the area, but tolerating how much you can do. Do the program every other day. Use no more than 3 times per batch.
saber.Use knife fish to make tin agent. Where the back is injured, prepare the tin agent, prepare the tin agent on it, and tie it with a handkerchief. Additionally, you can take the tin agent from Saberfish in a few drops before bed.
