Osteochondrosis is a disease characterized by the lesion of intervertebral disks adjacent to the bodies of the vertebrae, the binder of the spine.

and bundles, but we learn that the disease is usually used then,
When complications appear - pain, sensitivity impairment, muscle
Atrophy, disorders of the internal organs.
Many people...
IN
The modern world osteochondrosis suffer from 40 to 80% of the inhabitants of the earth
Shara. Basically, the disease is striking people over 30 years old, but sometimes the first
Symptoms appear in 15 - 20 year olds. People are sick in social
active age, the disease lasts long, prone to relapses, so
inflicts significant damage to society. Women more often than men sick
osteochondrosis, but men have the disease heavier.
Slow and imperceptible
Osteochondrose development is a board for straight. None of the four-legged suffers from this ailment.
Value
load compressing two vertebrae, to a large extent depends on the position
Body. The smallest load on the spine when a person lies. IN
it stands up 2.5 times, and when the torso is tilted
Forward - 10 times. When lifting gravity load on the spine
Increased incredibly. If your spin is tilted forward,
You can multiply this figure by 10.
If the intervertebral disk is valid
big power, it is injured, deformed, begins to put pressure on
lying near the nerves and vessels, damaging them. As a result, violated
Blood supply brain (dizziness appears, headache)
and innervation of internal organs. If the disk began to collapse, it loses
Properties of a full-fledged shock absorber. This causes damage to the bone
The structures of the vertebrae, their edges become sharp, jealous, on them
Fighters appear - osteophytes. Gradually the spine loses its
flexibility.
If part of the fibers of ligaments limiting
The intervertebral disk is broken, it comes out of his «lodge».
Forms hernia. Especially dangerous disk penetration into lumen
The spine bone canal in which the spinal cord is located.
But even before the formation of hernia, osteochondrosis begins
warn about your appearance. The cause of pain may be tension
Bundles, strengthening the spine, muscle tension. Some
Researchers believe that nerve endings are available in the disk itself
(otherwise - a pulp nucleus).
With osteochondrosis
In vertebrae and intervertebral discs consisting of cartilage tissue,
Changes occur. As a result, the size of the holes through which
Nerves come out that originated from the spinal cord decreases. Nerves
can catch out. This is another reason for the occurrence of pain. If nerves
are in the disadvantaged state long, part of their fibers die.
Nerves not only provide sensitivity and motor
activity, they possess a trophic effect, that is, allocate
Muscle support substances and skin in good condition. If
Nerves die, muscles begin to atrophy. Due to damage
Sensitive fibers may be observed loss of sensitivity on
Separate areas of skin.
Different people on the forefront are different Symptoms:
- compression (compression), aseptic (mothful) inflammation and swelling of the nervous root;
- Muscular and tonic reactions (muscles are involved in the process;
some of them are atrophy, and the part is in a state of elevated
tone);
- Vegeth-vascular disorders (cooling and numbness of hands, legs);
- Attachment of mental violations.
Why osteochondrosis occurs?
- Heredity: Parents can convey to their
child gait, posture, at which the load on the spine
it is uneven, resulting in damage
Intervertebral discs. You can get inheritance and features
the buildings of the cartilage tissue, the features of its physicochemical properties, in
The result of which the intervertebral disk will be worse to transfer the load,
It's easier to damage.
- Heavy physical labor can also be caused,
Osteochondrosis can develop in a young athlete (inconsistency
the possibilities of the cartilage tissue withstand the loads of the loads that
It is forced to withstand).
- Schoolchildren, students, people engaged in mental labor,
forced long to sit, which is also a big load on
spine, especially if they sit incorrectly (stole,
bend forward or in the side).
- If a man is in forced inconvenient for a long time
position (painted back with a back head, a surgeon leaning over
operating table) is also adversely affecting
spine.
- If a person has any spinal curvature (scoliosis,
Kyphos, Lordoz), the load on the vertebral pole is distributed
unevenly, which is also a predisposing factor for
Osteochondrose development.
- Injuries and microtrauma.
- With osteochondrosis, the destruction of the spine fabrics, the older the body, the worse the fabric is restored.
Is it possible to complete recovery from osteochondrosis?
This is
Depends on the form of the disease, gravity, correctness and timeliness
Treatment. Full cure is possible only in the initial stages.
But
You can prevent osteochondrosis exacerbations, do not feel
Pain. If a person had osteochondrosis, but now he does not experience
discomfort, it does not mean that he passed without a trace. Changes in
The spine can be.
the main task -
suspend the development of the disease and do everything possible to
part of the pathological changes in the spine disappeared, and disappeared or
Symptoms decreased (
Back pain, cooling and numbness of hands, legs, headaches).
