Osteochondrosis is a chronic process accompanied by malnutrition and destruction of cartilage tissue.It can develop in almost all joints and very often the intervertebral discs are affected (cervical, thoracic, lumbar osteochondrosis).
This doesn't happen easily.
The fact is that every day your spine experiences heavy loads from vertical walking and gravitational pull.At the same time, in order for the vertebrae and the cartilaginous discs separating them to be healthy and not injured, the entire spine is surrounded by a large number of short and long back muscles, which in turn are interconnected with other organs and parts of the body.
You may be surprised, but recent medical research convincingly proves that the main role in the development of osteochondrosis is played by weakness, decreased tone and poor functioning of the spinal muscles!As a result, most of the weight is redistributed to the bones and cartilage of the spine.This is a protective reflex of the body to maintain an upright posture.But without sufficient muscle support, the cartilage can't cope.
Microcracks appear in the discs, inflammation, pain and stiffness appear.
Experiencing constant excessive load, the vertebrae begin to deform and the cartilaginous discs flatten, which, if advanced, can even lead to unpleasant complications such as vertebral displacement, disc herniation, pinching of the nerve root, etc.
Inflammation and pain occur.All this can be made worse by:
- insufficient physical activity;
- overweight;
- poor diet;
- irrational habits (inadequate physical activity, carrying bags 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 relatively young people.
Treatment of cervical osteochondrosis.
With cervical osteochondrosis, very unpleasant and uncomfortable sensations occur: pain in the neck, shoulders and even numbness of the arms, associated with the peculiarities of innervation.And when chronic, it leads to problems such as vertebrobasilar insufficiency and stroke.
Traditional methods of treating cervical osteochondrosis in most cases are ineffective, and drugs have a toxic and allergic effect and quickly become addictive without lasting therapeutic effect.Therefore, manual treatment of cervical osteochondrosis is increasingly used, and with the right approach, a long-term positive effect is noted.
