Lower back pain – causes, symptoms and cure

21 April 2020

Disease degenerative disc disease – what's the look, sections, and methods of treatment, consider the details in this article.

Disease osteochondrosis description of the treatment

The modern medical statistics, currently, osteoarthritis affects almost 90% of the band population.

This number includes people with minor manifestations of the symptoms, while those who have the disease continue, and it's been a great suffering.

The doctors always wake up country: the last years, this disease has become the "younger", the most and the average age of onset of degenerative disc disease 30 years ago!!!

But it's very confusing, according to the doctors, to the unfavourable conditions, the signs of osteoarthritis you may find that in a past life, the period of time, especially if you are long, uneven or excessive stress, rear legs, as well as the effects of a trauma.

What is osteochondrosis?

As the progression (development) of the lower back pain, ezek a degenerative-dystrophic lesions spread, the tissues of the vertebrae.

Signs of A main, you should be warned that the appearance of pain in the neck, back, in the lumbar region.

Often the pain is the "give" in the hand, chest, shoulder, upper thigh, etc.

This is a clear indication that the spine started pathological changes, as well as an emergency measures, until the disease is too far gone, because if a negative dynamics for degenerative disc disease possible:

atrophy of muscle tissue;
violation of sensitivity;
the disorder of the internal organs;
the displacement of the internal organs, etc.

In the absence of timely treatment, osteochondrosis develops an incurable disease!!!

The look osteochondrosis

The main factor in the development of osteoarthritis uneven load on a spine.

Common causes of irregular (uneven) load distribution of the spine:

a habit a to wear the bag on shoulder, one with either hand;
the incorrect posture in the sitting position;
sleep too mattress find;
sleep with a high pillow;
it anatomically incorrect type of shoes.

Additional risk factors include the following:

physical inactivity (sedentary lifestyle);
the presence of obesity;
back injury;
injury of the lower extremities;
flat feet;
other devices in the violation of musculoskeletal;
age-related degenerative processes in the spine, which deteriorates the blood supply to a vertebral column.

An etiology (origin) is a degenerative disc disease the role they are factors like:

a physical exertion, a test;
neuro-emotional exhaustion;
the metabolic diseases, poisoning, unhealthy food, alcohol, medicines, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract – this is normal to prevent a high absorption of nutrients in the food;
occupational risks (work involving unhealthy, as well as a regular load on a spine, where you are in the wrong place or a long time short-term experience, but to the high load);
genetic predisposition (a percentage is small, but the probability is possible);
violation of posture in the period in growth of the active in a body;
specified time is not, or not timely treatment of scoliosis in children;
wearing tight, uncomfortable shoes, shoes with heels higher than 3 cm;
prolonged and/or regular dehydration;
to blame a non-balanced diet, hypovitaminosis;
Smoking;
pregnancy (especially multiple), in combination with advanced muscular-ligamentous apparatus: since the displacement of the center of gravity, a test start a degenerative process of the spine.

A stage of osteochondrosis

A developing low back pain each goes through four stages:

The first stage is characterized by the appearance of the pathology of the intervertebral disc. Because it's an unnatural load begins the process of dehydration (dehydration) of the core, which reduces the height of an intervertebral disc, the appearance of cracks fibrous ring.The symptoms in this stage usually absent, or very small – it may be a little discomfort during prolonged stay in a static awkward posture, during an active movement, etc.
In the second stage, a disease there is discomfort in the form of pain, especially certain types of loads, movements, a test positions. In the second stage, the reduction of the distance between the vertebrae, and the sagging a spinal muscles ligaments. It is caused by the increased mobility of the vertebrae, a damaged disk, which is quite dangerous threatening them to shift, or slip.
In the third stage of osteoarthritis is characterized by a formation of prolapses, and the protruding parts. May be accompanied by subluxatio, and/or a development of osteoarthritis in inter-vertebral joints. Be certain movements feel, stiffness and lack of movement. The extremities can cause tingling, numbness. In this section, an osteochondrosis clearly felt the pain in my back, neck, lumbar, and sacral region of a spine, the coccyx (all depends on a disk affected location).
During a fourth stage of osteoarthritis, a test is trying to correct a consequences of hypermobility (excessive mobility) of the vertebrae start to adapt to the irregularities of a function in the spine, as well as a contact points of the vertebrae to form joints (new bone formation) in order to improve the fixation of the vertebra.

But unfortunately, in some cases joint because the cardiac massage, and additional damage to the vertebrae. As a result, the intervertebral discs and the joints begins in fibrous ankylosis.

The symptoms of a degenerative disc disease

The main symptoms of the discomfort of osteoarthritis and/or pain in the neck and back.

How severe inconvenience, or what further symptoms that appear during the development of osteoarthritis depends on the stage of the disease, and certain in all cases.

Pathology of the intervertebral discs of the cervical and lumbar are more common than the degenerative and dystrophic changes in the sternum.

Symptoms of osteoarthritis are the following:

periodic, constant fatigue or feeling of a back;
mild or pronounced (depending on the stage of the disease) pain in the neck, back, chest, shoulder girdle;
difficult limited movement of the upper limbs.

The clinical picture disc degenerative disease largely depends on the location (place), a disease, a degree of development of a process, the individual peculiarities of the patients.

Pathology of the intervertebral discs, displacement, protrusion, hernia, and growth of joints leads to very different consequences.

Among the most common disorders of normal blood circulation in the tissues, a nerve disorder in the spinal canal, edema, fibrosis, the tissues and structures.

Such effects accompanied by a huge variety of symptoms, which is hard to get an accurate diagnosis of the disease.

The most common symptoms of degenerative disc disease includes the following symptoms:

hurts the back, neck, the back, the shoulder girdle, a region, a rib;
an unpleasant, as well as a stiffness, a test, which may occur in certain test positions: tilt, swivel, increase the muscle tension;
the numbness, the upper, the mind of the lower limbs;
muscle, joint pain, muscle cramps;
headache, dizziness, fatigue;
pain in region of heart;
violation of the sensitivity of the hands;
muscle weakness.

Symptoms of osteoarthritis can vary, depending on where localized pathology:

Osteochondrosis of a cervical spine control the pain in the neck, arms, shoulder girdle, which can "give" a shoulder blade, and shoulder. There are people there, headache, dizziness, flashing "flies" or spots before the eyes, ringing in the ears.
A defeat, a chest pain, a localized a chest, heart, inner surface, a shoulder, an axillary. Possible discomfort when breathing, shortness of breath.
Osteochondrosis is a lumbosacralis spine is manifested by pain in the lower back a "ad" the pain in the legs, the thigh, the pelvic organs. Often connected to sexual dysfunction.

Important!!! Surface symptoms such as fatigue, pain, may indicate to a existence of not only osteoarthritis, but also about the accession of other diseases or the development of various pathological processes and diseases not associated with degeneration of the intervertebral discs, therefore, the diagnosis of a "degenerative disc disease" just supply specialists, self-medication for such symptoms, it is unacceptable!!!

Diagnosis is a degenerative disc disease

The exact diagnosis experts appointed by such instrumental methods of examination, such as:

x-rays of the spine;
if necessary myelography a spine;
neurological examination of the sensitivity, reflexes, the spine.

An additional method may be a doctor, a diagnosis, and a stage with a pathological processes that are installed as accurately as possible the following:

computed tomography of the spine;
the nuclear magnetic resonance;
magnetic resonance imaging.

Direction of a treatment for a degenerative disc disease– a disease for the treatment

Competent treatment on the basis only of an integrated approach. This is selected based on the degree of manifestation of osteochondrosis in all cases, a condition but to the individual patient.

Conservative treatment consists of a drug's performance or a complex of therapeutic corrective exercises.

Surgical treatment situation, almost all may not be the first method of a choice.

Surgical treatment is indicated only in a positive dynamics of lack of, and active in the progression of the disease, a rather long a background of conservative therapy, which is not only positive changes in the improvement direction.

In addition to medical therapies, you need to follow a certain diet and other measures, which are extremely important, it is necessary for recovery.

Conservative treatment of degenerative disc disease

The conservative treatment is to a relief (elimination) of pain syndrome, normalization of function of the spine, and the prevention of negative changes in the future.

A conservative treatment for a degenerative disc disease includes the following types of therapy:

Drug therapy

Drug osteochondrosis is used to ease the pain, eliminate the inflammation in the tissues and normalization of metabolic processes in the body, improves the process of tissue blood supply, and regeneration.

The strongly expressed pain syndrome, or in the event of acute complications can be assigned to blockade drug to the nerve endings, which also contribute to the reduction of a severe joint stiffness of the muscles.

Important!!! It is clearly understood that the disease osteochondrosis can't be cured, just the medicine!!!

You know that the lack of expressed dystrophic changes and obvious pain, drugs considered to be unjustified. This helps the information to avoid a bad treatment of qualified professionals.

Drugs, which are used for the pain treatment osteoarthritis:

anti-inflammatory group of drugs;
pharmaceutical preparations;
products-antioxidants (vitamins);
means to improve the blood supply to the tissues;
drugs a regeneration and/or prevent the degeneration of cartilage.

Drugs can be administered in the form of ointments, creams for local use in pain, in the form of tablets for oral administration in the form of injections in the form of medicated plasters, to relieve pain, improve the patient's condition for a long time, without the side effects to occur, while a pills the use of injections.

Spots on the back pain, osteochondrosis

Currently, medical pain patches:

spots irritant (capsicum plaster, mustard plaster).
spots of reflective action (to retain heat).
spots painkillers on the basis of a action: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on the basis of local anesthetic action on the basis of herbs, dietary supplements (nanoplastyri).
the patch chondroprotectors.
spots combined effect.

The medicated patches have a number of advantages:

an almost complete absence of contraindications;
no side effects;
release the load on the digestive system, which occurs when oral therapy devices, which is especially an important presence of existing diseases;
a comfortable use;
the savings on a fairly long-term effect of anesthesia is 12 to 24 hours;
a lack of toxic effects on the body (this is especially typical of a Chinese herbal pain plasters based on organic components);
a lot of other benefits.

Physiotherapy methods.

It helps to reduce pain, and increase the medicinal effects. A treatment of osteochondrosis most common application of ultrasonic waves, magnetic fields, the current low frequency, the, etc.

Methods the physiotherapy (physical therapy) and kinesitherapy (treatment by movement). Physical Methods of treatment with kinesio therapy procedures designed to the normalization of metabolic processes, the recovery nutrition of the intervertebral disc, restoring the place of a vertebrae and discs between them, the uniform load distribution on the musculoskeletal system.

Methods therapeutic massage. Massage is used to improve the blood supply to the tissues, to relieve muscle spasms, as well as cuffs, to the general improvement of the circulation.

Whirlpool, as one of the types of therapeutic massage, supplements method of manual massage (by hand), as well as the contribution to the whole is a normalization nervous system, a test.

Therapy using traction (tractor), the spine, the special equipment. The purpose of such manipulation is to place a increase inter-vertebral normal size, and that the high disorders of spinal column.

A high the diet osteochondrosis

The goal of a diet when a disease degenerative disc disease–, metabolism improvement, saturated test essential nutrients, vitamins, mineral substances, foods contain large quantities of anti-oxidants, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and compounds that promote the regeneration of cartilage.

Treatment drinking during illness is very important, but includes the consumption of clean water in the case of 30 ml / kg body weight of a person evenly throughout the day (for the most part water is recommended to drink in the morning).

Necessary to this question in this fractional, 5-6 times a day. The basis of the diet – milk, dairy products, lean meat, poultry, fish, fresh vegetables, fruit, gave, or seeds, cereals, vegetables large quantities, and then the mushrooms.

Especially recommended for the inclusion in the diet, fish, meat, jelly, jelly, jelly foods, olive oil is the first pressing, without heat treatment (salads, etc.).

Preferred methods of processing of foods – steamed, baking, cooking. Limit starchy foods, sweet, fatty, me, salty, pickled, smoked. Coffee, strong tea, carbonated drinks, alcohol – a total taboo!

What are the possible complications of a osteoarthritis?

It's unfair, if it meets a doctor prescribed treatment, or long-term in order to avoid a visit to the specialist, studies definitely contribute to the progression of the disease, and to provoke the complications, diseases, new diseases, such as:

herniated disks (spinal hernia);
protrusion;
kyphosis;
sciatica;
the salt deposits inter-vertebral space;
strokes of the spinal cord;
decrease in muscle mass of a limbs, muscle atrophy due to violation of a blood supply;
paralysis of the lower limbs, or disability.

The prevention of osteoarthritis

We recommend that you follow the general rules for a healthy lifestyle:

to eliminate physical inactivity and increase physical activity;
a long, a static stay in posture, you need to take breaks to warm up every 45 minutes to restore the circulation in the spine;
you need to choose a high chair are supported by a backbone, to monitor the position of the hands on the table and feet on the floor, learn how to be a good to maintain a posture (straight back, relaxed shoulders);
a night's sleep it is necessary to choose a firmer, better in bed, the pillow;
if you need a lift and/or carry heavy objects, when engaging in strength training activities – strictly to keep a safety precautions;
select the high orthopedic shoes;
whenever possible, barefoot on uneven surfaces: it strengthens the muscles, a leg, to relieve tension of the musculoskeletal system;
eat, drink system;
training general relaxation: this removes the tension in the muscles;
regularly conducted courses, regenerating massage.

I hope that a disease is osteochondrosis of fog give.

Be healthy!
