  • When osteochondrosis deteriorates fixing ability
    the spine, that is, the state of the oil-star muscles and ligaments, especially when
    Load. At first, there is dehydration of the pulpal nucleus and a violation of exchange
    Substances in Khryashche. As a result, the disk loses its elasticity, dries, decreases in
    sizes and can not counteract physical exertion. For example,
    Vertical force 500 kg leads to a breaking of a healthy disk, which is confirmed
    Experimental. Osteochondrosis for a similar effect is sufficiently axial
    Load 200 kg.

    Distrophy processes of an intervertebral disk in
    The course of the further development of thenechondrosis entails compensatory changes
    bodies, joints, ligaments involving into the pathological process of vessels, muscles and
    nerves. In effectively treatment, fibrotization (seal) of the disk with its
    self-psychication: there are pain, the mobility of the spine and man is returned
    Feels healthy.

    Neurosurgeon A. AND. Ospens suggested in 1971
    classification of osteochondrosis stages based on the long experience of studying and
    Surgical treatment.
    Stage I - Outdoor nucleus movement occurs
    more than normal, which leads to stretching or compressing fibrous
    rings.



    Stages osteochondrosis

    • Stage I - Outdoor nucleus movement occurs
      more than normal, which leads to stretching or compressing fibrous
      rings.
    • Stage II - cracked fibrous rings and
      Unstable of the affected spine segment.
    • III Stage - There is a complete discharge of the disk with losing
      hernia, inflammatory process with a possible pressure of nerves and vessels.
    • IV Stage - There is a dystrophic lesion of others
      components of an intervertebral disc with the addition of spondyleze, spondyloarthrosis
      and other compensatory changes.



    Types of osteochondrosis

    What is osteochondrosis of the spine?Spondloarthrosis
    (arthrosis of the spinal joints) arises from the wrong distribution
    Vertical load due to reducing the height of the intervertebral disk. Flared
    The disc reduces the distance between the arcoverts. They are overloaded,
    Crucified with the development of arthrosis. Osteoarthrosis Result - Publishing of Pubers
    spine joints, which blocks the joint and calls pain.

    Spondylose -
    The disease of the spine, characterized by deformation of the vertebrae due to
    Bone expanding on their surfaces in the form of protrusions and spikes. Spondylose
    Fixes a plot subjected to overload, causing nervous irritation
    End of a bundle. Patients experience stupid, butterbearing and severity in
    Spine. Spondlissee is accompanied by muscle tension around the motor
    segment, and then these two fixing mechanisms not only aggravate pain,
    deteriorate the amortization function of the spine, straightening its physiological
    bend. In the early stages of osteochondrosis, muscles are strained, immobilizing and
    Protecting the spine, creating local muscular corset. In later stages
    immobilization is supported by irreversible changes in the muscles surrounding
    Tissues and spondylise.

    Muscular syndrome
    when osteochondrosis is associated with the fact that from the affected motor segment in
    Muscles go pathological irritating impulses that along with their dynamic
    overload causes tonic spasm. These nerve impulses cause spasm
    vessels, and first there are pain, and then the muscles change themselves as a result
    Violations of their blood supply. Appear seals containing dense and
    Painful nodules (Cornelus), sites of hypertonus or dense mogelosis.
    The so-called trigger zones are formed, pressing which causes a sharp
    Common pain.



    What happens during osteochondrosis

    So, with osteochondrosis, first occurs
    weakening the fixing abilities of the intervertebral disk, which
    Compensated by muscles and ligaments. If further adverse factors
    continue their destructive action, then compensatory capabilities
    fixing elements are insufficient. In this case, in the later
    the stages of the disease Muscular fixation decreases, ligaments are stretched, and
    The excess mobility in the vertebral motion segment is formed. Excessive
    Mobility causes more than normal, moving adjacent vertebrae by
    relation to each other.

    For example, at the time of extension of the body overlay
    The vertebra shifts the stop, which does not happen in a healthy spine. Because of
    pathological mobility trauming the body of the vertebrae, and roughly pulling
    Bundles The closure plates of the bodies of the vertebrae are compacted and developing them
    sclerosis. As a result, there is a chronic sprouting of bone tel tissue
    vertebrae that compensatory increases their surface and reduces
    Load. These bone spikes are called osteophytes. Spondloarthrosis,
    Spondylosis, pseudospondylolisthesis and osteophytes indicate later stages
    Osteochondrosis.

    It should be noted that listed
    Above the signs of osteochondrosis can not be clinically manifested and only by chance
    Detected on radiographs. These phenomena may result
    Natural aging of the spine and not accompanied by unpleasant sensations.
    However, another variant of the osteochondrosis flow with intense pains,
    who are tormented by patients from young age. Difference between two options
    The course of the disease is principled and lies in pathologically early aging
    Spine. Determines the clinical manifestations of osteochondrosis what's in this
    Case The degree of development of compensatory changes is lagging behind intensity
    Natural disk height reduction.
