Lumbosacral spinal osteochondrosis is a dystrophic spinal disease, where the normal structure of the entire spinal column and intervertebral disc is especially destroyed.It should be said that not only the back suffers, but the whole organism, especially the pelvic organs and lower limbs.
The grounds of development
The lumbar region for someone's life in connection with the direct experience of a large vertical burden that cannot completely compensate despite the large vertebra size.Therefore, slight changes in the human body, decreased in the lower back muscle corset, excess weight, injury, wrong movement and more can cause disease progression.Also, you should always remember the age -related changes in the spine about everyone.
By summarizing the above, the most frequent risk factors can be distinguished, overall leading to lumbar osteochondrosis:
- Uneven and irregular loads on the spine (lifting severity from tended positions, etc. -more).
- Excessive weight (almost every kilogram is important).
- Rumber injury, including sports.
- Weaknesses of muscle corsets (prolonged work in a boring position, and more).
- Infutable, poor in minerals and vitamins.
Symptom
Symptoms of the disease can change widely, however, the entire signs of osteochondrosis develop, as a rule, in three syndrome:
- Vertobroogenous lumbargia (synonym lumbago).
- Vertro -carbon lumboyshialgia.
- Vertro -carbon ischialgia (sciatic nerve inflammation).
However, in addition to pain in the lumbar region (with irradiation to feet, gluteal, inguinal area or nothing), lower back muscle tension, foot weakness, crisis during back movement and difficulty movement in the lumbar region should be distinguished by some of the important symptoms of osteochondrosis from the lumbar:
- The feet are numb and the feeling of creeping on the feet.
- Cramps in the feet.
- Pelvic disorders (delays or urine incontinence, constipation or diarrhea).
- Weaknesses in certain groups of foot muscles.
These complaints can direct neurologists to the degree of damage to the spine, carrying out differentiating diagnoses with other spinal diseases.
Diagnostic marks and x -ray
Osteochondrosis should be diagnosed with only one type of instrumental - radiological method.Imagine the entire spinal structure in modern medicine allowing the best MSCT or MRI studies, however, simple radiography does not lose its estimated value (as an examination study).It is important to remember that the main stage in the diagnosis of the problem with the spine will be a medical examination, which sometimes allows you to make a diagnosis without any examination.
In neurological status, pain is detected in the palpation of the vertebral spicy process, lower back muscle tension, and if there is only osteochondrosis, there are no symptoms such as: decrease in tendon reflex, symptoms of shifts -symptoms of tales, symptoms -symptoms of gores, symptoms of symptoms,-Structure -Stracts and symptoms -Symptoms of gums in terms of gores, symptoms of friction and symptoms -Service -Service -Service -Seconds and symptoms -Symptoms of Gores and Symptoms of Lands.In the presence of these symptoms, differential diagnostics with disc hernia and others, more serious disease from the spine should be performed.
Treatment
Treatment of disease involves prolonged complete therapy.Instructions in the treatment of several remedies of drugs, non -Drug additional methods, as well as prevention of physiotherapy training, are partly used in the acute period, and do not lose its relevance to this day.
remedy
It is a combination of myoorlaxing therapy, anti -inflammatory pathogenetic therapy, as well as the use of neuroprotective drugs.The choice of drug and dosage calculation is continued from one's weight, gender, the presence of the same disease.
In the acute period, it is advisable to inject medications such as diclofenac, meloxicam.In addition, in parallel, they begin to conduct therapy for the removal of muscle cramps and the protection of nerve fibers from damage.
Not -Drug
It is represented by physiology and manual influence.Given the muscle groups, the level of anatomy zone is relatively large, physioteric can only be an additional method.DDT, electrophoresis, magnetotherapy are used, which allows you to improve the effects of the drug.
However, massage and manual therapy can sometimes completely stop the symptoms of lumbar osteochondrosis even without the support of the drug.This is due to the fact that muscle cramps can be removed, and pain is not always provoked by the inflammation process, sometimes only unclear movements lead to pain, as a result, it is effectively eliminated in the first time after the development of pain.
Gymnastics for lumbar area osteochondrosis is intended to stretch the back muscles and strengthen it.In the presence of a prescribed diagnosis, lumbar osteochondrosis should be involved in daily physiotherapy training.Subject to general regulations (excessive physical activity restrictions, hypothermia), weight control and exercise for lumbar area osteochondrosis of the disease can sometimes be forgotten for years.
