The location of metabolic disorders and the decomposition of glycoproteins on lumbar intervertebral discs, the bodies of the vertebrae, their joint surfaces and ligaments are found in 90% of the cases of all pathological changes in the spine with the general name of the osteochondrosis.That is why the questions about the osteochondrosis of the lumbar column: the symptoms and the treatment available in the home prevail over all others related to this pathology.
What signs can independently determine the beginning of the development of an irreversible disease and in what methods can it stop its greatest development?
Signs of osteochondrosis on the lower back
The progress of the pathology of osteochondrosis proceeds in 4 stages
- Osteochondrosis-In design distributors in the ring plates and a change in the configuration of the jacket nucleus located inside the intervertebral disc.
- Lumbar region protection-Excessive coach of the fibrous-chisky ring plates and the beginning of the destruction of the pulp nucleus membrane.
- Hernia- Rupture of the fibrous ring and the exit of the nuclear mass similar to a gel outside the disc.
- Osteophytes- narrowing of natural light between the vertebrae, the spread of the pathological process to the bone tissue of the vertebrae, their joints, ligaments and the periarticular muscles.
For information.You can accurately determine the degree of development of osteochondrosis and the spine: to make a diagnosis, only a doctor can be based on an analysis of anamnesis and the images of the TC and MRI exams.
The symptoms of the osteochondrosis of the lumbar column, manifested in the first stage, can be the following:
- discomfort of the lower back;
- greater sweating;
- a decrease in skin sensitivity in the lower back, in the hips, the buttocks, on the foot and/or the lower part of the leg;
- spasm of the arteries of the lower extremities, which leads to the feeling of cold in them, tingling and "chicken skin";
- skin peeled in the lower extremities.
The price paid by people who ignore these main characteristics: the development of protuberances, hernias and osteophytes.Not only do they interfere with normal life, but they also threaten with disabilities.
Lumbar region osteochondrosis: pain symptoms
Yes, with cervical osteochondrosis and breast, pain often gives the hand,
That pain with lumbar osteochondrosis radiates one, less frequently on both legs.
Acute low back pain
Acute, unbearable, in most cases, bilateral pain and obvious muscle contracture in the lower back.The attacks can be repeated several times a year.
Chronic low back pain
The appearance of several weeks (months), opaque and painful pain, more frequently 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 awkward pose or after hypothermia.
The beginning of the movement after a long state of rest or acute inclinations (turns, twist) improves pain.With repeated episodes, pain location gradually expands to the sacral section, buttocks and leg.
Vasopastic reflective dystonia
The lower back pain and the leg is accompanied by a chill in the lower part of the limb.After physical stress, hypothermia can disappear and intensify.
Vasodilator Refletonia
Pain syndrome takes place with the development of heat in the limbs.During and after physical activity, the skin hypertherment becomes very strong.
Radiculite and Radiculopathy - Radical syndromes
Characteristics of edema, fast pain and shelters in the lumbar region, and the irradiation of pain in the leg are characteristics.
Its manifestation depends on the location and the degree of damage to the intervertebral discs:
- L1: L2: The front and inside of the thigh hurt;
- L2: L3 - Irradiation in the upper part of the thigh and the internal area of the bottom of the leg, the absence or decrease of the reflexes in the knee joints, the development of scoliosis in homolateral type is possible;
- L3: L4: The pain in the lower back is free, while extending along the thigh in the front and inside the knee and slightly lower, there is a major knee reflex, and the knee itself is moderately injured;
- L4: L5: The acute shooting pain in the lumbar region causes its stable fixation of the pathological configuration and posture bias in the form of "protective poses", the spasm of the pear -shaped muscle determines the pear -shaped muscle.The limbs, the power of the Achilles of the tendon weakens, the thumb is little widespread and the development of the intermittent chroma is possible.
LUMBA -Ilgia and Radium
The main symptoms of the osteochondrosis of the lumbosacra-l5 column: S1 inherent to stage III of the pathology flow:
- The discogenic pain of the lower back radiates in one or both legs due to the type of pain syndrome and a decrease in the reflexes inherent in the damage to L4: L5;
- Squeezing the arteries leads to the loss of skin sensitivity;
- the simultaneous manifestation of muscle, neurotrophic and vegetative-vascular tonic syndromes;
- The prolapse of the album causes the development of the "horse tail" syndrome: unbearably acute pain syndrome in the lower back is accompanied by numbness of the groin, as well as a violation of the work of the intestine and the organs located in the pelvis, until urinary incontinence;
- Functional disorder of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, as well as the exacerbation of chronic diseases, for example, colitis, hemorrhoids.
Attention!There are many tips from healers who are convinced that osteochondrosis is the deposition of salts in the spine, and popular "medications" can dissolve them and eliminate them from the body without a trace.Since osteochondrosis has a different mechanism for development and current, each of these instructions is 100% to get rid of osteochondrosis is a charlatan that can cause tangible health damage.
Treatment of the low back osteochondrosis
For the prevention of osteochondrosis with sedentary work, it is necessary to perform "download" exercises of 10 minutes, a complex of which should be done once per hour.
Lumbar osteochondrosis therapy is always carried out in the complex, but also depends on the stage of disease development:
| Treatment methods | The degree of osteochondrosis | ||
| Yo | II | III-IV | |
| Surgical intervention | - | - | + + |
| Anesthetic drugs | + + | + + | + + |
| Non -steroid anti -inflammatory drugs | - | partially | + + |
| Hormonal and antidepressant drugs | - | - | + + |
| Condroprotectors | Efficiency is not proven | ||
| Vitamin Therapy (Group B) | + + | Not effective | |
| Massage | + + | + + | + + |
| Manual therapy | + + | partially | - |
| Swimming, walk + | + + | + + | |
| Run Cowardice and Salto Exercises | partially | - | - |
| Dynamic gymnastics exercises | + + | + + | partially |
| Static Yoga Exercises | + + | + + | + + |
| Classes about simulators with weighting | + + | partially | - |
Important!An not available component of the treatment of osteochondrosis at any stage is the normalization and strict observance of drinking daily regime 1.5-2 l of pure water per day, as well as the optimization of the diet to reduce the body weight and maintain further the body of the body of the body from 18.5 to 24.99, which is calculated by the formula (kg) divided into the iconic growth (m).
Modern medicine has not created a medication that cures the osteochondrosis.If you find the first symptoms of osteochondrosis, do not waste a precious time: begin to move more and eat well!Today these are the only effective measures that can slow down or stop the progression of the disease.
The daily practice of two simple yoga positions will even help lazy to stop the pathological processes that develop in the lower back.Since these "magical" exercises are simple and are performed sufficiently static to look at the photo.
The bar must be maintained 10-15 seconds, gradually increasing time up to 3 minutes, without forgetting rhythmic breathing: inhale with the nose, exhale through the lips bent with a tube.
During this torsion of Marichiasan, which lasts 15 seconds to 1.5 minutes, performed in each direction, it is necessary to make a light drink of the column that will help insert the vertebrae in the place without resorting to the services of a manual therapist.
The osteochondrosis of the spine is inevitable, because even in the absence of aggravating causes: a hereditary predisposition, an inactive lifestyle, a profession that uses heavy physical work, an excess of the body, suffered injuries, its appearance will be caused by the physiological aging of the body and the natural dehydration of the nuclei of the interverse discos.Only a healthy and active lifestyle can slow these processes, which should be striving to keep up.
