Effective treatment of osteochondrosis, spondylosis, radiculitis and Ishias

Osteochondrosis is the most common cause of back pain.Damage to the intervertebral discs on which the disease is based on every second person who is 40 years old, and at the age of 50, 70% of the population are already amazing.At the same time, osteochondrosis can be found in young people and even among young people.Intervertebral hernia, radicolith, brain pension disorders - all of these are complications of osteochondrosis that threaten disability and often lead to disabilities.

At the moment there are effective treatment methods that not only make it possible to remove symptoms, but also to restore the destroyed areas of vertebrae in traditional medicine that there is almost no.It is therefore so important to understand which factors lead to the destruction of the windows, which must be changed in your lifestyle in order to stop the development of osteochondrosis.And what measures should be taken to finish with existing changes and to start recovery processes in the spine.

What is osteochondrosis?How does the disease go away?

Osteochondrosis is an illness in which the processes of destruction in the segment with spinal motor segment prevail over the processes of recovery, which manifest itself through pain in the back, a restriction of mobility, etc.In the course of the development of this disease, pork braler, radiculitis (radiculopathy), you can use dizziness and other complications and other complications and other complications.

The intermediate disc (referred to as the "hard drive" here) is a ring made of elastic fabric, the fibers of which are interwoven into a vertebrae lying above and underlying.Due to its special structure, the intervertebral disc protects every vertebrae from destruction and also ensures the mobility of the entire spine (Tilments, Twisting).

In the middle of the intervertebral disc there is a pulp core that resembles a rubber piss that is filled with liquid.In an adult, it consists of 70% water and carbohydrates that can bind and water.At the time of loading the corresponding segment of the spine, the core contains water and flattering, and after the end of the effect, the previous form of the previous form takes on.Such a shock absorbing pillow enables the spine to jump and delete up to 80% of the shock pollution that comes to the spine.

Degenerative-dystrophic processes begin most often with a deterioration in the shock-absorbing function of the intervertebral disc.

1. Determination of blood supply to the intervertebral disc.In adults, the food of the intervertebral discs is carried out by diffusion: blood is only delivered to the vertebrae, and it is already "seeped up" on the windows.In this way, the hard disk is driven for dynamic loads (e.g. walking), since the principle of the pump (drainage of the processed liquid when compressed, the flow of nutrients and oxygen when removing the load).Therefore, the diet of intervertebral discs is particularly difficult under the conditions of a seated lifestyle (hypodynamy).
2. Changes in the Pulpian hard disk core.With a deterioration in blood supply, the supply of water, sugar and amino acids is disturbed on the pulpoose nucleus.For this reason, the production of carbohydrates suffers that connect water to water.The core is dehydrated, its structure from gel -like becomes too fibrous, the ability to jump and extinguish shots worsens.This increases the load on the fiber ring and vertebrae, they are rather blocked and injured.
3. Changes in the fibrous ring of the intervertebral disc.Due to the flattening of the pulpoose core, the increased load lies on the fibrous disc ring.The fibrous ring loses its strength under conditions of poor blood supply.The instability of the spine occurs, which can lead to the formation of an intermediate remedy, a shift in vertebrae and damage to the spinal cord or nerve roots.
4. Memory lead.The formation of Swandromeries.When the fibers of the fibrous ring weaken, the pulp core begins to clear, for example, in the direction of the intervertebral disc channel (disk lead).Such astonishing can continue to break a fiber ring and the formation of a hernia.Read more about the process of the formation of Schwandralernie in a separate article - "Effective treatment of intermediate vertical hernia at home".

5. Spondylose - the destruction of the band fire joints (spondylarrose), the growth of osteophytes and the ossification of ligaments.In parallel to the formation of bandrand hernia in osteochondrosis, damage to the band fire joints, destructive changes in the vertebra (cartilage) and league are observed.

Since the shock absorbing function of the intervertebral disc is not carried out, the vertebrae and the small intermediate braler are constantly injured.

The instability of the spine is also the cause of damage to the cartilage The bodies of the vertebrae and the joint processes.As a result, bone tissue grows, osteophytes occur(From Greek: osteo bone, phyto - plant)- Bone growth.The appearance of osteophytes is popularly referred to as the formation of spikes or the deposition of salts.

• Osteophytes can constantly irritate the spine's ligaments, which gradually lead to their ossification and to limit the movements in the affected spine.
• Osteophytes can also violate nearby soft tissues, with the accumulation of dead cells in them, to which the body reacts with inflammation (edema).
• Osteophytes on the surfaces of the vertebrae, which ashamed the intervertebral discs compared to the fibers of the fibrous ring and accelerate the formation of a hernia.The osteophyte, which grows towards the intervertebral disc channel, increases the compression of the spinal cord, the blood vessels, the nerve roots.
• The growth of osteophytes can lead to the wrapping of the neighboring vertebrae and the complete loss of mobility in the vertebrae segment.

Symptoms and signs

Symptoms and signs of osteochondrosis - back pain!Initially, the back pain can occur due to the overturning of the back muscles that try to center excessively proving vertebrae to centers (level 3), so that the muscles protect the spinal cord that is located in the spine.The spinal cord is the central part of the nervous system, so the body tries to prevent its damage (pressing, irritation).After that, the cause of the pain can already be the vertebrae of the vertebrae, even with a small size.At the time of appearing a hernia, a person usually feels severe pain (this is referred to as a cervix or loin loader loader).

Due to the pain in the back, one person involuntarily tries to take a position in which the pain intensity decreases - the so -called, forced poses.At the same time, the spine is in a non -violent position that reduces the depreciation skills of the windows.This increases the risk of your further damage.

When violations progress in the joints, the development of vertebral bodies, articular surfaces and ligaments loses the spine of the patient to lose mobility.Partly and then complete restrictions for movements in the affected spine.

Complications of osteochondrosis of the spine

There are several stages of developing complications of osteochondrosis of the spine.Their manifestations depend on the department in which the destructive process occurs.

1. Discogenic radiculite (radiculopathy), in which the hernial advantage presses the nerve root (a group of nerve fibers that extend from the spinal cord and then divided into the nerves that go on one or the other area of the body).The pain is due to the mechanical effect of hernia on the spine and the addition of inflammation (edema).

The symptoms of a discogenic radiculitis depend on the spine:

Location	Symptoms and signs
Cervical, cervical-thoraic radiculite	Depending on the damage, pain and impairment of sensitivity in the neck, the shoulder, the forearm, fingers occur.Muscle weakness in these departments can also be observed. The neuralgia of the occipital nerves, in which severe pain in the back of the head is determined, often promotes.Arrhythmia can occur.
Radiculite with lumbar cross	It manifests itself through pain in the lower back, which is often combined with pain during the sciatic nerve - Ishias, Ishiradiculit.The weakness of the foot muscles also develops, a violation of sensitivity in the thigh, lower leg and feet can occur.


2. Vascular brown syndromein which vessels are pressed that feed the roots of the spinal cord.It manifests itself through impaired movements in the hands (with cervical osteochondrosis) or lower extremities (with lumbar sacral) and a sensitivity loss.This complication can suffer the work of internal organs to which the affected nerves (urinating, sexual function, intestinal work, etc.) can develop, high blood pressure can develop and the memory is deteriorated.Sometimes a vascular injury suddenly occurs, with a sharp movement in the affected area of the spine being more often in the lower back.There is sharp pain and sudden weakening of the muscles on the affected side - syndrome "Paralytic Ishias".
3. Violation of blood supply to the spinal cordcaused by compression of vessels that feed the spinal cord.The extreme degree of complication is an ischemic spine stroke.The result of this complication is impaired movements in the limbs (paresis, paralysis), loss of sensitivity, deterioration in the work of the internal organs until complete rejection.In some cases, this can lead to the patient's death, for example if the kidney function suffers seriously.

The shift of vertebral bodies or intervertebral discs, followed by pressing blood vessels and nerve roots, urgently may require surgical interventions.

The reasons for the development of osteochondrosis of the spine

Osteochondrosis is called multifactorial disease - i.e.H. There can be many reasons for the occurrence.Here we will output two key factors that gradually lead to the defeat of the intervertebral discs and subsequent changes in the spine:

• Determination of the power supply conditions of the intervertebral discs and the cleaning of your tissue.


The update of the tissues of the intervertebral discs depends directly on the band discs on the band discs and the lymph flow.Neither blood nor lymphatic vessels are suitable (which serve in the body to clean tissue).The food and cleaning of the disc are carried out indirectly, i.e. slowly.This is the reason why not only occurs quickly in this areaLack of nutrients and oxygen hungerBut also fastDamaged and dead cells accumulateas well as substances.The cleaning of fabrics from "slag" is required, since otherwise there is no space for the occurrence of new functional cells, and then the fabric gradually loses its function (for example, the pulp cord of the disc will stop jumping, depreciation and slowly flattened).

Updating the tissues of the intervertebral discs depends on the sufficient blood flow and the lymph flow.The speed and strength of these processes is influenced by the (mainly) back muscles in physical stress through muscle microvibration.In this regard, one of the reasons for the lack of feed and cleaning is a hypodynamy when the back muscles are relaxed or in a static position.

Since osteochondrosis developsSore muscles.The body gives the muscles a signal to keep the vertebrae in a certain position in relation to each other in the affected area in a certain position.For a long time, the overstrawn muscles press the ships for a long time, which further exacerbates the situation.

• Excessive stress on the spine, which leads to the accumulation of dead cells in the tissues of the spine.

For most people, it is obvious that the spine can suffer with an unusual sharp weight lifting or in the event of injuries.In the event of injuries to the neuromuscular depreciation system, however, damage to the spine can be daily and not as tangible.Constant microuma under conditions of the weak lymph flow lead to the accumulation of dead cells, prevents the growth of functional cells and continues to lead to an ossification of tissues.

Violation of neuromuscular depreciation as one of the main causes for osteochondrosis

Violation of neuromuscular depreciation as the main causes of osteochondrosis to reduce the strain on the spine when walking, lifting weights, etc.The body has an entire system of neuromuscular depreciation.It is ensured by the functionality of the nervous system of the body and the skeletal muscles, which interact in accordance with to ensure smooth movements and to delete the shock loads of the bones, joints and of course the spine.Most shock loads should therefore delete the foot.The muscles of the legs and the back are also involved in depreciation.If this is not the case (for example, unpleasant shoes with high rings do not allow the foot), intermediate disc discs are exposed to shocks for which they are not intended.The factors that lead to discord in the neuromuscular depreciation system are listed below:

• Violation of the attitude- Different types of spine curvatures that prevent him from "jumping", the use of non -physiological furniture when working in the office, etc.
• Gear injury, Running techniques (correct when running, transferring the weight of toe to heel);
• Wearing shoes with a high cord or without paragraphs, which negatively affects the depreciation skills of the foot.
• Excessive loads(Do sports, exhausting physical work), traumatic joints and spine
• obesity- Excess weight changes the center of gravity of the body and the adipose tissue. The blood supply to the muscles, the behavior of nerve impulses;
• Driving in transport without depreciation (you can jump with your feet in a standing position);
• Disorders of the function of the nervous system, for example due to the frequent use of painkillers that negatively affect the nervous conductivity.
• Disorder of the kidneysDue to the excess education in the body of decay products.This can be associated with inadequate physical activity - a prerequisite for the work of the lymphatic system, which is responsible for cleaning the tissue of metabolic products and dead cells as well as for cleaning the tissueLiver diseases, chronic inflammatory placesetc.

Hypodynamy

One of the reasons for the widespread osteochondrosis in recent decades has been an epidemic of a seated lifestyle.The muscles of the back and the press in ordinary life are not enough and weaken quickly, and for the health of the spine, which are not overloaded with static tension, but are busy with dynamic work.The muscles of the back are quickly weakened with hypodynamics, which is affected with the following consequences:

• Inadequate support of the spine in careless movements, which leads to overload the intervertebral discs, the shift in the vertebrae and the occurrence of nimble hernia.
• Determination of blood supply to the spine: The dynamic work of the skeletal muscles is a prerequisite for blood flow for every organ, including the spine.As a result of the inadequate operation of the muscles of the back, destructive changes in the intervertebral discs die - cells die from a lack of nutrients and oxygen.And dead cells accumulate and disturb the restoration.
• Determination of the lymph flow and the venous drainage, which leads to the accumulation of dead cells in the tissues.The work of the skeletal muscles is particularly important for the work of the lymphatic system, since most of its vessels (e.g. lymphocapillaries) have no muscle walls and the "push" of the lymph in blood vessels depends on the work of the skeletal muscles.

4 principles of effective treatment

In order to cope with not only the symptoms, but also with the cause of the development of osteochondrosis, spondyloses, radiculitis and Ishias, the following tasks must be solved:

1. Create the opportunity to clean tissue from dead cells.This is a necessary prerequisite for recovery to hinder the further formation of osteophytes and to free the space for the regeneration of tissue.To do this, restore the lymph flow and the venous drainage from the affected segments;
2. Improvement of blood supply to the affected area;
3. Improve the tone of all muscles that support the spine.This enables:
   • Create conditions for stimulationownBlood flow and lymph flow in the spine;
   • Restore the operation of the neuromuscular depreciation system, which is necessary for adequate support for the spine to prevent new damage.
4. Eliminate pain, because this gives an opportunity:
   • Remove muscle clamps that block the blood flow to the spine.
   • Avoid the forced poses.

Medicine therapy (medical) therapy

Today, drugs of the following groups are used in the treatment of osteochondrosis and their complications:

• Necepoid anti -inflammatory medication (NSAIDS)- in the form of tablets or injections of medicinal products.These funds can reduce pain and reduce the activity of inflammation.However, the effect of their use does not last long - from several hours to two to three days.Therefore, such funds must be taken for a long time - weeks and sometimes months.At the same time, these drugs have a negative impact on the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract.Your long -term reception is affected by the development of gastritis and ulcerative lesions.In addition, you can negatively influence the work of kidneys, liver and contribute to the development of high blood pressure.At the same time, these funds do not contribute to cleaning slices from dead cells.Therefore, their use is only a way to relieve symptoms for a while, but not to eliminate the main problem.

• CTEPOID (Gopmonal) anti -inflammatory medication.As a rule, they are used for severe and impenetrable pain that accompany hernia, radiculitis, Ishias, etc.However, they also negatively influence the mucous membranes of the stomach and intestine, promote the out of the bone and inhibit the production of their own gopmons.And do not contribute to cleaning the focus of dead cells.
• Papasolica- Medicines that affect the muscles or nerves that go into the muscles and cause the relaxation of the skeletal muscles.This means that muscle clamps relieve pain for a while, reduce pain and improve blood flow.At the same time, they do not help to clean the tissue of dead cells.Therefore, they do not contribute to healing for osteochondrosis.
• Epiduvision blockade- The introduction of painkillers and gopmonal active ingredients in the space between the solid brain cover and the periosteum that covers the vertebrae.It is usually used for intensive pain - in the acute period of intervertebral disc hernia with heavy radiculitis Ishias.Depending on the composition, such an injection helps to relieve pain for several hours to several days.After the expiry date, the manifestations of the disease are returned, since the procedure does not help to restore the metabolic processes in discs.In addition, there is a risk of violation of blood vessels and nerves in the execution.

As osteochondrosis and the development of complications progressThey have to fall back on medication more and more, increase the doses.This leads to high financial costs and a further deterioration in health due to side effects of medicinal products.

Medicine therapy is usually supplemented by immobilization of a or friend of the spine using orthopedic corset with different degrees of stiffness.
