IN THE TREATMENT OF DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE OF THE LUMBAR SPINE

Osteocondrose is a set of gears that are destructive of the spinal column, together with the damage, and the rapid destruction of the intervertebral disc. The past consists of a fabric of a cartilage, and therefore more easy to decay, under the influence of an improper stress on the vertebral bones. Osteocondrose the lumbar spine that is fixed to patients of all ages. But in the area of risk-this includes persons over the age of 30 years, and the patients are involved in increasing the physical labor, sports activities.

One of the most expressed symptoms of the disease is the severe pain that is caused, along with the restriction of the mobility in the region of the loin-sacral. Many times, the osteocondrose, it becomes a complication of other disease of the axial skeleton, and it has severe consequences for the spinal column.

THE STAGE OF PROGRESSION OF THE DISEASE

Highlight the four stages in the progression of the degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine:

1. It is characterized by it's temporary armbar syndrome that manifests itself during the period of training of the motor activity. Is the pain localized in the lumbar region and the buttocks can be felt as tingling sensation in the specific areas of the body.
2. In the second stage may be diagnosed at the earliest to be expressed and the changes, which include the destruction of the fibrous ring, a tightening of the nerves. Point is, the syndrome manifests itself during physical activity, it makes it even more dramatic and progressive. The patients also feel relief when the inclination of the trunk towards the rear.
3. The rate of the degradation of the fibrous ring leads to the destruction of the articular cartilage and the formation of intervertebral hernia. The pain becomes persistent and increases with physical activity.
4. The cartilage tissue continued to deteriorate in the affected areas of the spinal column, formed of the pathological expansion, and they reduce the functionality of the skeleton. It decreases the mobility and flexibility of the pain that is caused, it is manifested as keeping up with the different intensities.

Generally, the therapy is it is only the first stage of development of degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine. The treatment, in other cases, there is a set of measures, can lead to the destructive processes, and to improve the well-being of the patient.

THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF THE INJURY

The pain is in the lumbar region, felt when it tilts, and other movements, which are the first signs of the occurrence of the reported disturbances in the same. The pain, it indicates a destruction of the vertebral disc, and a tightening of the nerve endings. Others express symptoms.

• the reduction in the intensity of pain during their stay in the trunk in a horizontal position;
• the weakness of the lower limbs;
• numbness in toes, loss of tendon reflexes;
• the curvature of the spine in the low back, left, right, up, lordosis, and kyphosis.

In the later stages, it is also possible to control the stool and urine. The pain to occur even when small loads (for example, coughing and sneezing). Complete and partial paralysis, can occur when the inoperable degenerative changes.

The accompanying symptoms.

• a sense of numbness and tingling in the lower back;
• the change in the color of the skin in the region of the buttocks, the thighs, the waist, the darkening of the skin in the complexion;
• the feeling of tension during the bending and extension of thin in the body, muscle atrophy, and a reduction in activity is often seen as a complication of the disease);
• the dryness and the flaking skin;
• violation of the body;
• vegetative violations, which are caused by changes in the circulation of the blood, and the lack of power of the tissues for oxygen;
• the lack (reduction) of the low libido and sexual dysfunction.

Disturbances of the sensibility may occur, it is usually directly in the focus of injury. In this case, the possibility of hypersensitivity (increased), anesthetics (low-sensitivity) paresthesia (feeling of "pins and needles").

More often than not, the disease if they are exposed to men like this because they are busy with the work on the body. When you do this, in the course of the disease is more rapid, and the probability of occurrence of reports of sexual dysfunction happens to many times higher than in women.

THE MAIN CAUSES AND RISK FACTORS

Osteocondrose sacral otdelaeshsya osteocondrose, symptoms, and treatment, which directly depends on the stage of progression, a lot of times, it is difficult to of the main causes of the occurrence of the two issues. Not all of the pre-requisites and risk factors, it is possible to solve for the therapeutic period of time. Accurately identify and define a variety of reasons, also, it is not always possible.

On the list of leading causes of degenerative disc disease lower back treatment that you can depending on your setting, include the following:

1. The uneven load on your spinal column, skeleton. Where is the result of an upright posture, and the lack of psychological education of a person. The distribution of pressure is typical of the athletes, non-professionals and people who work in heavy physical work.
2. The increase of the load. Even with the proper approach to the work of the skeleton, the muscles, and the spinal column, it is possible to change. In the local special olympics motor activity training ones wear out more quickly, and they are changed, and disk cartilage are removed and dealt in the nerve endings. In such a case, in the early stages, they are noted in the protrusion of the hernia, which is then complicated by the pain in the sacral osteochondrosis, in the treatment, that is, the facility with demonstrations, and to slow down the destruction.
3. A poor sitting posture. As a rule, this phenomenon is accompanied by the wrong distribution of the load on the spine, which leads on to the destruction of the bone and tissue of the articular cartilage. In the at-risk group of older people, and that, over time, there is a rapid decrease in the elasticity of the intervertebral disc.
4. With a sedentary lifestyle. Many of the times he is with the posture is incorrect, and the uneven distribution of the load. In addition to this, it can lead to muscle gipotonus, the so-called handicap to the activity of the muscles. In a constant sitting position, the spine (especially in the back) you have loaded more than usual.
5. Is important to lose weight. Every kilogram of excess weight, it generates pressure on the spinal column, which is filled with lots of change is disruptive to the bone and cartilage. If the obesity is accompanied by a sedentary lifestyle, the risk of the occurrence of the reported need for treatment of the lumbar-sacral spine increases several times.

The main causes are to be complemented by risk factors that increase the likelihood of the occurrence of a disease and to speed up its development. Among the key factors that stand out to me:

 

• flat feet (and explains the lack of functionality of the stop, and the uneven distribution of pressure on your spine);
• the defeat of the gastrointestinal tract, and the cardiovascular, and inflammatory processes in bone and cartilage tissue, arthritis, the arthritis, the osteomyelitis;
• violation of hormonal of diseases of the endocrine system, increased fatigue, and a violation of the healthy china
• a frequent de-stress, and disturbances in emotional status.
• The doctors recommend a special attention to your life-style. A lack of sleep, stress, poor nutrition, imbalanced, more often, they become risk-factors, and catalysts to process a negative for the lumbar spine.

THE METHODS OF DIAGNOSIS AND IDENTIFICATION OF THE CAUSES OF

For the diagnosis to be carried out:

• medical history;
• the research on the state of the soft tissues and the hard;
• studies in the laboratory.

During the first visit, the doctor will perform a detailed inspection, which defines the possible manifestation of the disease, and the presence of bends and changes of the skin, the sense of feeling. In addition, during the first inspection, it is necessary to determine the location of the starting point of the pain syndrome. Subsequently, they are carried out:

1. X-ray exposure. It's running on the side of the rear projection. To determine the presence and extent of lesions of bone tissue, revealing the dimensions of the growth (if any).
2. The magnetic resonance imaging. To determine the location of the lesion, with the help of the vari-angle display. It identifies the destruction of the soft tissues, and the inflammatory process, loss of nerve endings, blood vessels.
3. A computed tomography scan. As an x-ray, and provides a preview to the hard tissues of the spine and the back. It allows for more detail to consider the destructive changes.

THE TECHNIQUES OF EXPOSURE THERAPY

When osteocondrose the lumbar region a treatment is chosen individually. In the early stages, it is possible for a conservative therapy, for the ordinary maintenance of the patient's care. When the bass changes to destructive used for the surgical procedure.

THE METHODS OF CONSERVATIVE

The attacks of degenerative disc disease, is often accompanied by pain, the requirement for excavation. With these purposes in mind to use drugs:

1. The pain killers. The most common of these are: Analgin, Deksalgin, Spazmalgon. Apply on the pre-composed form, and also in the form of a sheet.
2. Chondroprotectors. They are not drugs, but it can maintain the elasticity of the tissue of the cartilage, in order to facilitate the recovery of damages. To the group of medications include the following: Artifleks, the Symptoms with Glucosamine.
3. Anti-inflammatory drugs non-steroidal. The group consists of: Diclofenac, Nimesulide, Ibuprofen. It helps to relieve the inflammation and soothe the pain that is caused.
4. Myotropic antispasmodics (Mydocalm). They are used to relieve tension in the muscles and the weakening of the starting point of the pain syndrome.

In addition, apply anti-inflammatory creams and ointments (for The nimid, Traumeel, Dolobene, Finalgon). The contraction of the spinal column, in addition, it applies to chiropractic, massage therapy, and physical therapy. At home, it is also allowed to use for healing the physical.

When the lumbar spine osteocondrose symptoms, and treatment, and the medications that are required if the occurrence of reports of severe pains in the head, and the infringement on the move. Also, the medications are needed to relieve the inflammation and the cause of the disease.

SURGERY

When the lumbar spine osteocondrose the symptoms and treatment at home, it can combine only at its early stages, when the low-intensity of pain, and a low negative from the onset of the disease. Surgical intervention is required when there is the growth of bone, partial recovery of the mobility of the skeleton. Also, with the help of the operation is to be excluded from the vertebral column of the hernia, which were broken down, the discs cartilage, with the replacement of the latter.

FOLK REMEDIES

Folk, when osteocondrose the lumbar spine, symptoms, and treatment, which are closely connected will be applied to the removal of the inflammation and the pain threshold of the disorder. The most effective and safe:

1. The bathroom of my father's father. To take a bath, it should be placed in the water at a comfortable temperature for the next three to four branches of a pine tree. The procedure is also recommended before going to bed, for about a quarter of an hour.
2. The tincture of horseradish. An equal amount of a mixture of one tablespoon of vodka and the juice of the fresh horseradish. To beat the painful portions of two or three times a day. After each of these procedures is to close the back part of the blanket to warm up.
3. The Leaf of the burdock. The Leaf of the plant to hold it over the hot steam for about ten minutes, and then apply it to the affected area in the lumbar region. So, to wrap up the waist a handkerchief or a blanket and leave it on for an hour.

When the treatment of degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine and symptoms and treatment, it is important for you to relate. It is not recommended for the application of the revenues of the folk medicine as an alternative to the main course. Able to use tools as an aid.

DISEASE PREVENTION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

In the prevention of degenerative disc disease, lumbar oldelpaso-sacral osteocondrose, symptoms, and treatment of which is described above, it is to prevent them. To alert you to the onset of the disease, you must follow these guidelines:

• to evenly distribute the pressure on your skeleton and in the vertebral column, to avoid the unbearable physical work;
• to properly relate the time of sleep and many hours of physical activity;
• watch out for the technical execution of the exercises, during the practice of sports;
• use the rules for the drawing up of a menu, based on the recommendations of a healthy diet;
• don't let your excess weight;
• conducted check-ups with a surgeon, and a neurologist, especially after the age of 30;
• to monitor the level of hormones, and monitor the health of the endocrine system;
• to monitor the position and, if necessary, to carry out the association of physical education, using massage and manual therapy.

THE RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS

Moving in the region of the lumbar spine osteocondrose – as a result of incorrect distribution of the load on the spine, a lack of respect for the rules of the build, the attitude, and the technique of implementation of exercise in this sport. With age, the risk of the occurrence of the reported illness, and these factors, it is increased because of the reduction in the operations and processes in bone and cartilage tissue. In the treatment of degenerative disc disease is a difficult one, because the spinal cord does not lend itself to a full recovery. For this reason, it is important to the prevention of, and following the advice of your doctor / physician.
