Morning stiffness, pain and crunch in the lower back in the slopes of the body, sharply and radiculitis are familiar to many. Arthrosis of the lumbar spine — chronic, progressive disease accompanied by a violation of metabolic processes and the destruction of the cartilage tissue of intervertebral disks, narrowing the articular slit of the intervertebral joints and the limitation of the mobility of the spinal column. To find effective funds against lumbar arthrosis, it is necessary to know the mechanisms of its development and represent what the symptoms are specifically due to.
What we will treat?
Arthrosis of the spine is accompanied Disturbance intervertebral cartilage, which explains the reduction of their sustainability to ordinary loads, their damage and destruction.
Chondrocyte damage leads to mediators Inflammation, The development of arthritis and periatritis becomes an additional factor in the development of arthrosis.
Inflammation, violation of the anatomical ratio and mobility of the vertebra, Infringement of nerve fibers leads to the appearance Owl syndrome.
The main directions of therapy against the arthrosis of the spine
- Reviving pain syndrome and inflammation with the help of medical treatment of arthrosis.
- Restoration of the normal anatomy of the spinal column with the help of manual therapy and therapeutic physical education.
- Increase the mobility of the spinal joints by the medical gym with arthrosis.
- Improving blood circulation and power of intervertebral disks.
- Restoration of the cartilage tissue of intervertebral disks and the articular surfaces of the vertebrae using chondroprotectors — drugs for the treatment of arthrosis.
Features of drug treatment of arthrosis spine
Medical treatment of spinal arthrosis is carried out according to the same rules as the therapy of arthrosis of any localization.
To relieve acute pain syndrome and reduce inflammation apply Nonteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. For the treatment of arthrosis, they matter as symptomatic agents (diclofenac, meloxicams, nimesulide) during the period of exacerbation, do not restore the cartilage tissue and have quite a large number of side effects. In order to avoid the negative effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to the gastrointestinal influence of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on the gastrointestinal transmission, the drugs are appointed in injections, the parenteral use of drugs is complemented by their external use in the form of ointments, gels, creams (fast-gel, finalgel).
For pain in the back caused by muscle spasm, the use of muscle relaxants is recommended — Funds for the treatment of arthrosis, relaxing transverse muscles (Middokalm, Baclofen).
The drug treatment of lumbar arthrosis in the period between its exacerbations includes the use of chondroprotectors (stopartrosis, alflutop, teraflex), capable of accepted with therapeutic gymnastics, with osteoarthritis, a pronounced therapeutic effects, especially at the initial stages of the disease. The effect of chondroprotectors is based on the ability to stimulate the processes of recovery of cartilage tissue, improving the state of intervertebral disks and articular cartilage. Chondroprothetors as preparations for the treatment of lumbar osteoarthrosis, can be useful to the patient subject to their competent use.
Medical gymnastics with spinal osteoarthritis
Therapeutic physical culture, like massage, with spondyltarrosis is aimed at activating blood circulation in the problem area, improving the nutrition of tissues of joints, creating conditions favorable to restore cartilage. Regular training contributes to an increase in the mobility of intervertebral joints, the development of muscles of the back, strengthening the muscular corset, holding the spine in an anatomically correct position and protecting it from injuries.
The set of exercises with lumbar osteoarthritis includes all sorts of circular movements of the torso, classes with hoop, swimming, football.
Massage and manual therapy as methods of non-drug impacts help restore the form of the spine, weaken muscle contracture, intensify blood circulation and metabolic processes in the joints. Physiotherapy has an additional anesthetic, anti-inflammatory and stimulating effect on the processes of recovery of cartilage.
