Hello, dear readers.Today we will talk about osteochondrosis, a problem, today of exciting almost all people at a certain age.
In recent years, the Osteochondrosis of the word once exotic has firmly entered our vocabulary.Many people, regardless of age, "diagnose" this problem.
And after fifty, most consider that osteochondrosis is an almost mandatory increase in the pension, responding to complaints "who does not have it!"
This is not only bad, but fundamentally a harmful point of view.
After all, osteochondrosis is not just a chronic disease, this is often the state of the spine, which leads to the indifference of a person, the banal inaction in the first symptoms and the elementary laziness to spend some time in their health.
Osteochondrosis is a spinal disease in which the connective tissue is damaged, discs lose their resistance and elasticity, their shape and consistency are changing, they become vulnerable to any invoking factor.
The consequence can be protrusion, intervertebral hernia, kyphosis and other complications.
In addition, pathological changes can affect not only the column, but also ligaments, blood vessels, nerve endings, which leads to the defeat of the organs and internal systems of the body.
Therefore, if we want to live, you must take care of the spine.
The causes of osteochondrosis
There are many factors that cause changes in intervertebral discs.We highlight the main ones.
- Inheritance.Some column diseases have a genetic predisposition, so if it has a loaded inheritance, attention to column problems should be as close as possible.
- Metabolism violation.Diffuse nutrition of tissues and cartilage discs can be affected or weakened as a result of body poisoning (even due to the frequent use of medications, such as antibiotics), several infections and the toxic environment.
- Overweight.The column provides the position and lifting of a person, therefore, the more we have weight, the more difficult it is to deal with the task.
- Column injuries.Even minor bruises in the column (not to mention fractures) can lead to serious problems.It happens that problems manifest many years after the injury.
- Moster disorders.The curvature of the spine, the instability of the elements of the spinal column, the duration of uncomfortable postures is the direct path to osteochondrosis.Unfortunately, in childhood and youth, the advice of parents and teachers do not turn their backs on the table, do not read lying down, do not "freeze" in an uncomfortable possession on the computer and many others seem ridiculous and irrational of NIT ("It is convenient for me").With age, you understand that everything is not going without a trace, but it happens late.
The asymmetric load of the muscles of the spine, for example, with a constant wear of a bag on one shoulder, in the presence of uncomfortable or excessively soft mattresses and pillows, affects the discs.The use of uncomfortable shoes or shoes with very high heels also affects.
- Inadequate nutrition.The insufficient and non -balanced intake of liquid, vitamins and elements trace in the body contributes to a violation of the diffuse nutrition of the spine.
- Excessive physical effort or load changes.For example, the work associated with the constant lifting of weights, shock movements, etc.Maybe violations during pregnancy in women.They also negatively affect both intense physical activity for an unusual organism and a strong decrease in loads (for example, when they train by professional athletes, dancers, etc.)
