The lower back of the back of osteochondrosis

A degenerative disease in which the body of the vertebrae is destroyed and the intervertebral plate is deformed, called osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine.The causes of such pathology can be varied and, for proper treatment, it is important to determine what has accurately influenced the progress of deformation in the lower back.If someone is worried about the typical symptoms of osteochondrosis, contact the hospital immediately.

Stage 1 will cure problems with medicines and special exercises, but the conservative method does not always help at 2-3 degrees, so you should use the treatment method.

The main reasons

Left or right lumbar osteochondrosis is a degenerative disease in which the intervertebral disk is destroyed, a fibrous ring break and a person has a hernia that causes acute pain and impaired function in the muscle bone system.The following factors can provoke osteochondrosis in the lower part:

• increased physical activity on the lower spine;
• Incorrect posture while sitting;
• sitting, sedentary lifestyle;
• impaired posture;
• injuries, fractures or bruises that cause degenerative consequences in the spine;
• Congenital pathologies of the structure of the muscle system, in which signs of deformation are already visible in the child;
• obesity;
• Stress, malnutrition.

Stages and symptoms

Signs of lumbar osteochondrosis develop as the disease progresses, and the higher the stage, the stronger the symptom.There is a total of 4 degrees:

• In section 1, the fibrous ring is damaged, the pain is not pronounced and is often embarrassed after a prolonged walk.The pain is made public in 2 species - lumbalgia - when the symptom is constantly disturbed and lumbago in which the signals suddenly occur.
• Pop 2 degrees osteochondrosis is characterized by high destruction of the fibrous ring and plate dystrophy.Such an infringement leads to a reduction in the space between the vertebrae and the nerve fibers.The progressive 2 stages is accompanied by severe lower back pain, in the morning a stiffness that does not pass for a long time.
• In 3 stages, the fibrous ring in the affected area is completely destroyed, so a hernia is formed that squeezes the vessels and roots of the spine.The back is constantly painful, the symptoms do not retire after rest and after reducing the loads, it feels tingling and difficulty in the legs.At third instance, muscle fibers dystrophy occurs, resulting in the patient's movement limited.
• In 4 stages, the spine is completely deformed, one person is worried about acute pain, which causes motor activity to be completely limited.Due to impaired innervation and blood supply, swelling of the legs appears, and bone formations grow between the vertebrae.Last, the risk of disability is high.

Osteochondrosis syndromes of lumbar spine

Lumbar osteochondrosis is manifested with the following syndromes:

• Pain.This is the main symptom that characterizes the degenerative-dynist disorders of the spine.As the pathology progresses, the symptoms are pronounced, and attacks can last for several days, negatively influencing human health.
• Koreshka.Due to the thinning of the disable body, the height of the intervertebral space is reduced as the vertebrae become unstable, irritating and squeezing nerve endings.One is worried about acute pain, inflammation of the nerves, and blood supply.The muscle frame is atrophy, which causes the functionality of the lower limbs to disturb.
• Ischemic.The lumbar region is progressive osteochondrosis leads to the fact that the blood vessels and spine piercing arteries begin to compress.This disrupts the blood supply and nutrition of the internal organs and tissues and causes acute pain inside the thigh, the perineum.If the problem is not removed on time, paralysis or paresis is possible.

• Vertebrate.With the progress of pain, ischemic and radicular syndromes, the patient's spine is gradually deformed, which significantly affects the condition and well -being.The muscles become weaker, the walk changes, and one tries to distribute the load on the spine to move when you experience minimal discomfort.Such violations affect the work of the internal organs, while intervertebral discs continue to be deformed and even more damaged.

If the treatment of osteochondrosis of the lumbar region was inadequate or done in time, dangerous complications may develop.In women, when complications at level L1 - S1 levels may occur during pregnancy, especially during the last period when the spinal column load is maximum.In men in the lumbar region, degenerative processes often cause problems with efficiency.Early treatment endangers reactive spondylosis and the high probability of osteoarthrosis of the knee and hip joint.Other consequences are also manifested:

• compression-vascular ischemia;
• protrusion;
• spondylarthrosis;
• paresis.

Diagnosis

In order for your doctor to choose effective treatment methods, you need to make an accurate diagnosis.The diagnosis begins at the office of a neuropathologist who performs an initial examination and seizes the affected area and evaluates the nature of the spine.During the acute period, the patient can barely move and perform complex manipulations.An instrumental diagnosis is required for a more detailed examination of the spinal column, which includes:

• X -Ray.They are performed in three forecasts, with images show the degree of pathology progress, the size of the intervertebral gap, the salty deposition, and the structure of the vertebrae.
• CT or MRI.Give a more detailed picture of the state of the spine and the discs, point to soft tissues that cannot be considered during an X test.

How do we deal with the problem?

Drugs

The disease is characterized by a progression of pain in which not all drugs can cope.You can also take analgesics to stop the boards in the initial stages.And the problem is treated using special ointments and gels.In advanced cases, such drugs will be ineffective, so the doctor prescribes injections that will allow for pain and first aid timely.

Non -seertoid anti -inflammatory drugs help relieve swelling and inflammation to eliminate the compressor and blood vessels and reduce the symptoms of pain.The group contains funds:

• Painkillers.With the progress of the acute period, when the pain is severely expressed, medications for this group are prescribed.Because they have side effects, do not buy funds at your discretion.A safe and effective medicine should be prescribed by a doctor.
• Musorelaxants.Relieve muscle spasms, which cause pain and discomfort to reduce.
• Glucocorticosteroids.Eliminating inflammation, positively affects the nervous system and improves the patient's condition in a short period of time.

Exercise

If L5 - S1 osteochondrosis is diagnosed or affects level L3 - S1, therapeutic exercises are required.When performing the training complex, it is important to gradually increase the load so that there is no discomfort and pain.We recommend that the following exercises be performed with osteochondrosis:

• Turn right and left in a constant position, with a decision.
• Stand on the four -to -bend and adjust your back.
• Lying on the floor, lifting steady legs without tearing the lower back from the floor.
• A reach the limb on the right and vice versa by lying with your left hand.

Massage and physiotherapy

Chronic osteochondrosis is successfully treated during the remission phase with the massage procedures performed by the manual therapist.Massage promotes the normalization of blood circulation in the affected area and nutrition.Physiotherapy procedures have a similar effect:

• electrophoresis;
• Magnetic therapy;
• laser therapy;
• UHF.

If patients with left or right osteochondrosis have not helped with conservative methods, you cannot do without surgery.Microdiscotomia is often used in which the separated hernia is removed by microsurgery tools.The Minime Psidium procedure, the next day after surgery, the patient may move.

Prevention

Because adults and children suffer from osteochondrosis, even at an early age, monitoring the spine, checking posture, bending or watching movement is important.If you are suspected of deformation, you should consult a doctor.The sooner the disease is diagnosed, the easier it will be to fight later.
