Osteochondrosis is a chronic process accompanied by malnutrition and destruction of cartilage tissue.It can develop in almost any joint and very often the intervertebral discs are affected (osteochondrosis of the cervical, thoracic, lumbar).
This does not happen easily.
The fact is that every day your back experiences heavy loads due to walking and gravitational pull.At the same time, so that the vertebrae and cartilage discs between them are healthy and uninjured, the entire spine is surrounded by a large number of short and long back muscles, which in turn are interconnected with organs and other parts of the body.
You may be surprised, but the latest medical research convincingly proves that the main role in the development of osteochondrosis is played by weakness, decreased tone and improper functioning of the muscles of the spine!Because of this, most of the weight is redistributed to the bones and cartilage of the spine.This is a protective reflex of the body to maintain an upright posture.But without sufficient muscle support, the cartilage cannot cope.
Microcracks appear in the discs, inflammation, pain and stiffness occur.
Experiencing a constant excessive load, the vertebrae begin to deform and the cartilaginous discs are flattened, which, if advanced, can lead to such unpleasant complications as displacement of the vertebrae, disc herniation, nerve root collapse, etc.
Inflammation and pain occur.All of this can be exacerbated by:
- insufficient physical activity;
- overweight;
- poor nutrition;
- unreasonable habits (insufficient physical activity, carrying bags on one shoulder, standing crooked in front of the computer, driving a car, etc.).
Now you know why we doctors encounter this problem not only in elderly patients, but also in very young people.
Treatment of cervical osteochondrosis.
With cervical osteochondrosis, very unpleasant and unpleasant sensations occur: pain in the neck, shoulders and even numbness of the arms, which is associated with the peculiarities of innervation.And when it is chronic, it leads to problems such as vertebrobasilar insufficiency and cerebrovascular accident.
Traditional methods of treating cervical osteochondrosis are ineffective in most cases, and medications have a toxic, allergic effect and quickly become addictive without a lasting therapeutic effect.Therefore, manual treatment for cervical osteochondrosis is being used more and more widely, and with the right approach, a long-term positive effect is observed.
