Lumbar osteochondrosis is one of the most common diseases of mankind, and they are also confronted with diagnosis of both men and women. This disease is damaged by the whole spine, the cartilage tissue of the discs between the vertebrae, in the lumbosacral and sacred classes, most often people get into the risk zone after 30 years, but the physical work with a heavy load on the back can be faced with such problems and very young individuals.
We will analyze what causes this disease, how dangerous and what treatment methods exist?
The causes of lumbar osteochondrosis
- Excessive spine load, heavy physical work, weight lifting, including sports in sports.
- Overweight, which increases the pressure and load on the entire column of the vertebrae.
- The sedentary, sedentary lifestyle that results in weakening tissues between cartilage discs and slowing down blood circulation.
- Posture, congenital or acquired irregularity, due to the inadequate back position, collided in one direction.
- Injuries, bruises, sports, weight lifting, etc.
- Genetic predisposition.
- Age -related changes with which the mobility and elasticity of the spinal column is lost.
- Inflammation of the inflammation of the spinal joints, arthritis and skoliosis by displacement of discs.
- Hypothermia, stressful situations, unbalanced work and recreation.
The degree of lumbar osteochondrosis
Section 4 of the main stages of the disease is distinguished, gradually easier to analyze, each.
1 grade
The slight pain of the vertebrae, which increases after physical effort, is stupid, dull, tingling pain and the bottom can be disturbed for a short time.
2 degrees
The distance between the vertebrae decreases, the fibrous ring and all the surrounding tissues collapse, and the nerve roots are stuck. The pain at this stage becomes sharp and tangible, passed while it goes to the buttocks, thighs and lower legs. With an attack, a person experiences relief when he or she is leaning in the opposite direction, that is, in the back, the pain can cause a strong burn sensation or the opposite of the cold in the affected area.
3 degrees
The fiber rings are usually completely destroyed, resulting in the intervertebral hernia. The tissues of the lumbar vertebrae are deformed, the pain is almost constant, the intensity of which depends on the presence or absence of physical efforts.
4 degrees
The pathological nature of the vertebrae of the lumbar region occurs, the cartilage is atrophy, which leads to problems during movement. The pain disappears for a short period of time, but can then be manifested in a higher place and with increased intensity, resulting in loss of elasticity, mobility and disability.
Symptoms of lumbar osteochondrosis
Pain
In 98% of the cases, this disease occurs, the lower back area is directly painful and the bottom is given to the bottom through the sciatic nerve. The pain can be moderate and increases when the body's position changes, sudden movements, sharp turns, and when the body progresses, one simply does not explode when lifting a heavy object, it can close in one position and the lumbar region begins.
In such a disease, depending on the degree, the pain can also occur with the vibration of the body, while transporting, sneezing, coughing or deep breath.
Tension
The feeling of tension occurs suddenly and disappears just as quickly, which is most often in the process of bending and extension, and the reason for this manifestation is the fact that an irritated, nervous spine dispels from bone processes.
Interrupted sensitivity
As a general rule, changes in sensitivity occur exactly in the area of lesion without touching the body's intersection. Such changes can be observed:
- Hyperesthesia (increased, increased sensitivity);
- Hypoesthesia or anesthesia (reduced sensitivity);
- Paresthesia (the extended feeling of goosebars or tingling as in the injections).
Changes in sensitivity usually occur on a certain small tape in the focus of inflammation and can last from 5 minutes to several hours.
Reduced motor activity
At different degrees, mobility is influenced by muscle atrophy, which can simply weaken movements or lead to complete paralysis. At the same time, motor activity deteriorates at a specific location where the muscles are damaged and the accompanying body parts do not suffer.
In violation of autonomic function
It does not always occur, more often in the case of osteochondrosis. Lumbar osteochondrosis in the lower limbs causes a reduction in blood circulation, as a result of which the legs are always cold and the skin as a whole is pale. In addition, the bladder is also endangered in the risk zone, with internal pressure within the ponytail (compression) of the possibility of developing acute urinary tract incontinence or the opposite of delay.
Less frequently, cold feelings in the body are observed, despite the temperature decreases, excessive sweating, a more complex form of sexual dysfunction in men, and in women the complete lack of libido and intimate lubrication.
In men, all the symptoms described become more often and more intense, as they raise more weight, increasing more weight and, accordingly, a heavy load on their backs, thus the stage of formation from one stage of the disease to another.
Complications with lumbar osteochondrosis
- Inflammation of the nerve, Ishias.
- The degree and velocity of the vertebrae increases, and the curvature of the spine becomes the best as possible.
- The unstable position of the vertebrae when the disk ceases and the lumbar region at any load, even in light, "slippery" from the place, from the sacrum. As a result, the function and work of the internal organs of the genitourinary system deteriorates. In men, this leads to efficiency in women with severe inflammation of the uterus, ovaries and appendices.
- The appearance of hernia and inflammatory processes between the various spine segments.
Treatment of osteochondrosis of the lumbar medicine
The competent drugs and the clear schedule will be sufficient, have a proper effect, remove the inflammatory focus, stop the pain attack and prevent remission. The drugs should only be prescribed by the specialist, indicating the individual method of taking and administering the drug.
Tablets/capsules
PainkillersThey are able to quickly eliminate the pain for a long time, but still have a temporary effect on mitigation, but without therapeutic effect.
Anti -inflammatoryPreparations or NSAIDs are often prescribed in combination with painkillers, improves each other's effects, reduce or completely eliminate the focus of inflammation when they will have therapeutic effect when combining two groups, but is still temporary.
Chondropotectors- They play a role, an irreplaceable vitamin on cartilage and bone tissue, and also prescribe a comprehensive intake with the drug's anesthetic group, tissue protection and prevention of further destruction.
Ointment/gels for external use
Topical use of gels ensures the absorption of the product into the direct focus of pain, which has a further, longer effect, eliminates inflammation and relieves swelling.
Injection
Injections correspond to the task of eliminating pain and inflammation faster than other methods listed. Injections are capable of stopping cramps, pinches and tension of lumbar muscles and fibers.
Often, the blockade method is used to achieve a quick effect, that is, a certain painful place with anesthetic drugs, the effect occurs immediately and lasts for up to 9 hours.
Treatment of osteochondrosis of the lumbar class with folk drugs
Effective treatment methods are not lower than the drug when treatment is initiated in time and does not start the inflammatory process. They can be used in the complex with traditional treatment methods, and then the chances of rapid healing are increasing from time to time.
