The location of metabolic disorders and the decay of glycoproteins in lumbar intervertebral disks, the bodies of the vertebrae, their articular surfaces and ligaments are found in 90% of all pathological changes in the spine with the general name of osteochondrosis.Therefore, there are questions about osteocondrosis in the lumbar spine - symptoms and treatment available at home prevail over all the others related to this pathology.
With what signs can you independently determine the onset of the development of an irreversible disease, and in what methods can it stop its further development?
Signs of osteocondrosis in the crucible
Progress with the pathology of osteocondrosis continues in 4 stages
- Osteochondrosis-Degenerative-dystrophic changes in the ring plates and a change in the configuration of the jacket core located inside the intervertebral slice.
- Demonstration of the lumbar area-Extress protrusion of fibrous-chiskey ring-shaped plates and the beginning of the destruction of the membrane in the mass core.
- Hernia- Rupture of the fibrous ring and output from geldy nuclear mass outside the counter.
- Osteophytes- Correction of the natural lumen between the vertebrae, the spread of the pathological process to the bone tissue in the vertebrae, their joints, ligaments and the periarticular muscles.
For information.It can precisely determine the degree of development of osteochondrosis and the spine in it - to make a diagnosis, only a doctor based on an analysis of history and images of CT and MRI studies can be can.
Symptoms of osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine, manifested on the first phase, may be as follows:
- Underre back;
- Increased sweat;
- a decrease in the sensitivity of the skin in the crucifix, on the hips, buttocks, in the foot and/or lower leg;
- Spasm of the arteries of the lower extremities leading to the feeling of cool in them, dot and "running goosebumps";
- Peeling the skin on the lower extremities.
The price that people who ignore these primary functions are paid for - the development of projections, hernias and osteophytes.They not only interfere with normal life, but also threaten with disabilities.
Osteocondrosis in the lumbar area - symptoms of pain
If the pain of cervical and chest osteocondrosis often gives the hand,
This pain with lumbar osteochondrosis exudes one, less often in both legs.
Acute Lumbalgia
Sharp, unbearable, in most cases bilateral pain and obvious muscle contracture in the crucifix.Attacks can be repeated several times a year.
Chronic Lumbalgia
The occurrence of several weeks (months), dull and sore pain, most often on one side of the back, at the level and below the waist.Pain syndrome occurs after a long -term fixation of the hotel in an unpleasant position or after hypothermia.
The beginning of movement after a long state of rest or sharp inclinations (turning, twisting) improves pain.With repeated bouts, the location of pain is gradually expanded to the sacred section, buttocks and legs.
Vasopastic reflex dystonia
The pain in the crucifix and the leg is accompanied by a cooling in the lower part of the limb.After physical stresses, hypothermia can disappear and can be intensified.
Vasodilator Reflex Dystonia
The pain syndrome takes place with the development of heat in the limbs.During and after physical activity, the skin's hypertherm becomes very strong.
Radiculite and radiculopathy - radicular syndromes
Characteristic of edema, shooting fast pain and crisis centers in the lumbar area and irradiation of bone pain are characteristic.
Their manifestation depends on the location and degree of damage to the intervertebral disks:
- L1: L2 - front and inside the thigh hurts;
- L2: L3 - irradiation in the upper thigh and the inner area of the lower leg, absence or falling in reflexes in the knee joints, the development of scoliosis in homolateral type is possible;
- L3: L4 - The pain in the crucifix is free as it spreads along the thigh in front of and inside the knee and slightly lower, an increased knee reflex occurs and the knee itself is moderately wounded;
- L4: L5 - Sharp, shooting pain in the lumbar range causes its stable fixation of the pathological configuration and skew of attitude in the form of "protective pose", the spasm of the pear's shaped muscle determines the etching under the thigh and causes the symptoms that are characteristic of inflammation of the ski nerve: pain and limb, the power of senes Achilles is weakened, the thumb,The development of intermittent chroma is possible.
Lumba -ilgi and radiculoichemia
The main symptoms of osteochondrosis of the lumbosacral spine-l5: S1 inherent in the III step in the stream of pathology:
- Diskogen pain from the crucifix, in one or both legs of the type of pain syndrome and a decrease in reflexes associated with damage to L4: L5;
- Spressing of the arteries leads to loss of skin sensitivity;
- the contemporary manifestation of muscle-tonic, neurotrophic and vegetative-vascular syndromes;
- Prolapse of the disk causes the development of the "ponytail" syndrome - the unbearable acute pain syndrome in the crusade is accompanied by numbness in the groin, as well as a violation of the work of the large intestine and organs located in the pelvis up to urinary incontinence;
- Functional disorder in the gastrointestinal tract, liver and worsening of chronic diseases, such as colitis, hemorrhoids.
Attention!There are quite a few tips from the healers who are convinced that osteocondrosis is deposition of salts on the spine, and folk "medicine" can dissolve and remove them from the body without trace.Since osteocondrosis has a different development mechanism and power, each instruction is 100% to get rid of osteochondrosis is a charlatan that can cause specific damage to health.
Treatment of osteocondrosis of the crucible
For the prevention of osteocondrosis with sedentary work, it is necessary to perform 10 minutes of "unloading" exercises whose complex is to be performed once an hour.
Lumbar osteocondrosis therapy is always performed in the complex, but also depends on the stage of development of the disease:
| Treatment methods | The degree of osteocondrosis | ||
| I | II | III-IV | |
| Surgical intervention | And | And | + |
| Anesthetic drugs | + | + | + |
| Non -steroidal anti -inflammatory drugs | And | partially | + |
| Hormonal drugs and antidepressants | And | And | + |
| Chondroprotectors | Efficiency is not proven | ||
| Vitamin Treatment (Group B) | + | Not effective | |
| Massage | + | + | + |
| Manual therapy | + | partially | And |
| Swimming, hiking + | + | + | |
| Ran cowardice and spring exercises | partially | And | And |
| Dynamic gymnastics exercises | + | + | partially |
| Static yoga exercises | + | + | + |
| Classes on simulators with weighting | + | partially | And |
Important!An inaccessible component in the treatment of osteocondrosis at any time is the normalization and strict adherence to drinking daily regime-1,5-2 l of pure water per day.Day as well as optimization of the diet to reduce body weight and further maintain the body of the body in the body from 18.5 to 24.99, which is calculated by Formula (kg) divided into iconic growth (m).
Modern medicine has not come up with a medicine that would cure osteocondrosis.If you find the first symptoms of osteocondrosis, don't lose precious time - start moving more and eating right!Today, these are the only effective measures that can slow down or stop the development of the disease.
The daily practice of two simple yoga positions will help even lazy to stop the pathological processes that develop in the crucifix.Since these "magical" exercises are simple and performed static enough to look at the picture.
The line should be stored from 10-15 seconds, which gradually increases the time to 3 minutes and does not forget rhythmic breathing: Inhale with the nose, exhaled through the lips folded with a tube.
During this twist of Marichiasan, which lasts from 15 seconds to 1.5 minutes, performed in each direction, it is necessary to make a light booze of the spine that will help insert the vertebrae into the place without resorting to the services of a manual therapist.
The spine osteocondrosis is inevitable, because even in the absence of worsening of causes: an inherited disposal, an inactive lifestyle, a profession that uses strong physical work, an excess of the body, somewhat injuries - its occurrence will be caused by physiological aging of the body and natural dehydration of the core of the intervertebral.Only a healthy and active lifestyle can slow down these processes, which must be strived to maintain until old age.
