Osteochondrosis is a chronic process accompanied by malnutrition and the destruction of cartilage tissue.It can develop in almost any joint, and very often the intervertebral discs are also affected (neck, thoracic, lumbar osteochondrosis).
This is not easy.
The fact is that your spine is subjected to a lot of stress every day due to walking upright and the pull of gravity.At the same time, in order to ensure that the vertebrae and discs between them are healthy and not damaged, the entire spinal column is surrounded by a large number of short and long back muscles, which in turn are connected to other organs and 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, reduced tone and improper functioning of the spinal muscles!Because of this, most of the weight is redistributed in the bones and cartilage of the spine.This is the body's protective reflex to maintain an upright posture.But without proper muscle support, the cartilage cannot cope.
Microcracks appear in the discs, inflammation, pain, and stiffness occur.
Experiencing constant excessive load, the vertebrae begin to deform, the discs flatten, which in advanced cases can even lead to unpleasant complications such as displacement of the vertebra, disc herniation, pinched nerve root, etc.
Inflammation and pain occur.All this can be aggravated by:
- insufficient physical activity;
- overweight;
- poor nutrition;
- irrational habits (inappropriate physical activity, carrying a bag on one shoulder, crooked posture 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 quite young ones.
Treatment of cervical osteochondrosis.
In the case of cervical osteochondrosis, very unpleasant and unpleasant sensations appear: pain in the neck, shoulders and even numbness of the arms, which is associated with the peculiarities of innervation.And when chronic, it leads to problems like vertebrobasilar insufficiency and cerebrovascular accidents.
Traditional methods of treating cervical osteochondrosis are ineffective in most cases, the drugs have a toxic, allergic effect and quickly become addictive, without a lasting therapeutic effect.Therefore, manual treatment of cervical osteochondrosis is more and more widely used, and with the right approach, a long-term positive effect can be observed.
