Osteocondrose

Osteocondrose is the degenerative diseases-degenerative diseases that defeat the tissues of the spinal column, which leads to a change in the manner and to eliminate, intervertebral discs, vertebral bodies, and articular surfaces. Commonly, degenerative processes mainly affect the bones and joints. This is a disease that is considered to be one of the most common causes of lower back pain.

In the majority of cases, the diagnosis of a degenerative disease of the disc rests on the lumbar spine. Statistics in the natural, because it's the vertebral column it is in and of itself, even with the burden of the whole of the upper part of the body. When osteocondrose occurs, the displacement of the vertebrae, and, as a result, they can develop intervertebral disc hernia, or tightening of the blood vessels and nerve endings. Osteocondrose it is a very painful disease, that is, a patient a lot of discomfort, and it responds poorly to treatment.

Types of degenerative disc disease and its stage of development

There are four different types of degenerative disc disease. The disease is divided into the groups according to the location:

• osteocondrose of the lumbar spine;
• osteocondrose of the cervical spine;
• osteocondrose the thoracic spine;
• the common osteocondrose the defeat of the two or more of the departments of the vertebral column.

The explanation for the location of the degenerative disc disease that is very simple to do – the disease will develop into one of the offices, which are the most pressure and have a high mobility.

The disease develops in stages, moving from local symptoms to joint manifestations. The stage of development of degenerative disc disease are the following:

• The instability of vertebrae, which is caused by the violation, the location of the intervertebral disc. At this stage, the patient feels a discomfort when it moves, thus affecting the affected in the disease, the u.s. department of the vertebral column. At this stage, the degenerative disc disease is a spinal column that is very susceptible to injury.
• The destruction of the fibrous rings, discs, intervertebral cleft is reduced in size.
• The stage is characterized by the discontinuity of the fibrous ring, and the protrusion of one or more of the cores of the discs. It appears the intervertebral hernia, and in order to the line of the spinal column.
• Because of the bone-growth movement of the patient is limited, the pain is brought out. Costeniuc the ligaments of the vertebral column.

In any of the phases of a successful treatment for degenerative disc disease is still possible, but the farther away, the more difficult it is to get rid of its effects, and in the final stages of eliminating the disease completely is almost impossible.

The reasons for the development of degenerative disc disease.

A complete list of the causes of degenerative disc disease is too great. This includes not only the individual factors, and combinations thereof, just simply enter the cause of the displacement of the intervertebral disc. But it is the most commonly osteocondrose develops due to these reasons:

• heredity – if one parent has the osteocondrose, the person enters into the at-risk group, since the structure of the intervertebral cartilage, is often transmitted by inheritance.
• the hard work is done, the workload that is beyond the valid health standards for the work.
• long-term residents in the same position, you can also become an important factor. Many times, the osteocondrose it is diagnosed in people of sedentary occupations;
• the various diseases of the back, resulting in the distortion of the spinal column;
• in the beriberi, and hypovitaminosis;
• an injury to the upper back.
• infectious diseases;
• defect in the vertebral column caused by the fast turn of the camera, and the intervertebral discs;
• the natural aging process of the human body;
• with the obesity.
• the constant stress;
• to the forum.

The symptoms of degenerative disc disease.

Depending on the space, the location of the disease, the symptoms can vary significantly for a. This is due to the fact that the bulging discs, and the danger of injury to the vessels or affects the nearby tissues and organs, causing a variety of symptoms, which belong only to the time of the spinal cord. Therefore, in considering the symptoms of various types of degenerative disc disease, it should be separated.

The symptoms of degenerative disc disease, lumbar-sacral column

Pain in the sacral (or low back) osteocondrose is the most common of the disease. The back serves as a shock absorber when the majority of the movements and twists, man-made. The symptoms of the location of the disease in the us is:

• the pain in the lumbar region, increased by exercise, tight corners, or if it is over a long period of time, in the same position. The pain is usually excruciating, the pain is sharp in the initial stages come very rare, and it can also be a symptom of intervertebral disc herniation;
• the pain in the leg caused by a pinched in the roots of the spinal cord. This is kind of a pain, it may be a different shot, and undesirable, to be distributed on only one side of the hip joint;
• with limited mobility, the patient experiences the pain in the bends, tilts, and seats. If the patient has a comfortable, according to him, the posture, the pain will pass.

If You have one, or similar symptoms, seek immediate medical attention. It is easier to prevent disease than to deal with the consequences.

The diagnosis

For the diagnosis of degenerative disc disease is one of the strands the doctor-the neurologist attributes it to the such studies of the spine, such as:

• the x-ray;
• the ct scan;
• the magnetic resonance imaging.

Such as explaining and talking points for the osteocondrose

In the majority of cases, the treatment of degenerative disc disease that is made, conservative methods. A medical doctor who specializes in the treatment of degenerative disc disease and other diseases of the spine, called the lumbar spine.

Regardless of the method that this treatment does not apply, but it does serve as a nice complement to the other methods in the treatment of degenerative cervical disc disease, and other types of this disease. Reflexology relieves pain, restores the natural charge of the work in the different areas of the spinal cord, but it has a lot of effects in a short time.

Therapy for the year

Therapeutic exercise is considered to be the main form of treatment for degenerative disc disease, regardless of the zone they are located. It is a very effective method, that is, with the help of limited loads on the joints and muscles, strengthen the muscle corset back. The exercises, when the cervix osteocondrose are carried out under the supervision of an instructor or according to its recommendations.

In the treatment of degenerative cervical disc disease requires the assignment of the fitness in two different types:

• exercises for the cervical spine, in which the amplitude of the motion is at a minimum. When you do this, the self creates a resistance to the motion of the neck with one hand. Exercises for the overcoming of such resistance, and thus strengthening a group of muscles in the neck;
• in the second part, the methodology assumes that the dynamics of the exercises and the graphs of the curves of the head, and increase joint mobility for the cervical. All of the exercises associated with the strengthening of a neck should be performed at a slow pace, without sudden movements and without heavy loads.

In addition to the exercises that can be assigned to a path, and a therapeutic indoor swimming pool. Both of these methods of treatment for the same, in which a medical fitness – to improve mobility of cervical spine.

Exercise osteocondrose chest

The danger

Osteocondrose, and without proper treatment it leads to complication, such as:

• peripheral dystonia;
• sciatica;
• intervertebral disc herniation;
• the breach of the supply of oxygen to the brain.
