Osteochondrosis is a chronic process accompanied by malnutrition and destruction of cartilage tissue.It can develop in almost any joint and very often the intervertebral discs are affected (osteochondrosis of the cervical, thoracic, lumbar).
This does not happen easily.
The fact is that every day your spine experiences heavy loads due to upright walking and gravitational attraction.At the same time, in order for the vertebrae and cartilage discs between them to be healthy and not injured, the entire spinal column 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, reduced tone and improper work of the muscles of the spine!Because of this, 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 cannot cope.
Microcracks appear on the discs, inflammation, pain and stiffness occur.
Experiencing constant excessive load, the vertebrae begin to deform, and the cartilaginous discs become flattened, which, if advanced, can lead to such unpleasant complications as vertebral displacement, disc herniation, pinched nerve root, etc.
Inflammation and pain occur.All of these can be made worse by:
- insufficient physical activity;
- overweight;
- poor nutrition;
- 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 quite young people.
Treatment of cervical osteochondrosis.
With cervical osteochondrosis, very unpleasant and unpleasant sensations occur: pain in the neck, shoulders, and even numbness of the hands, which is associated with the peculiarities of the innervation.And when it is chronic, it leads to problems such as vertebrobasilar insufficiency and cerebrovascular infarction.
Traditional methods of treating cervical osteochondrosis are ineffective in most cases, and drugs have a toxic, allergic effect and quickly cause addiction without a lasting therapeutic effect.Therefore, manual treatment of cervical osteochondrosis is increasingly used, and with a proper approach, a long-term positive effect is observed.
How can a chiropractor help with this?Quite effective!
