Lumbar spine osteochondrosis - symptoms and treatment

Osteochondrosis of the lumbosacral or other parts of the spine is something that more than 90% of people face. In this disease, the intervertebral discs bear the brunt of the blow. They collapse and go beyond their allotted space. This causes pain as the deformed disc begins to compress the nerves.

Osteochondrosis is a wear and tear on the spine. In modern life, different parts of the spine are stressed differently. Therefore something wears out quickly (in -30-40 years), a bit slowly (in 50-70 years).

With sedentary work, osteochondrosis most often affects the lumbosacral region. It's about him and his treatment, which we will talk about in this article.

Why is osteochondrosis inevitable?

The spine is structured in such a way that it can withstand enormous loads. Because of his upright posture, he works non-stop all day. In addition, the slope immediately increases the stress on a given part many times over. And when you sit and lean forward, the spine is under constant colossal pressure. And the person does not feel this overload. This is the first reason for osteochondrosis to appear.

The second and more dangerous is a spasm of the back muscles. These muscles can remain in a tense state for hours - for example, keeping your back straight all day. Hands are incapable of such work. Try to clench your fist tightly for at least 10 minutes and then loosen it. You will feel pain. And the back muscles have a different structure - they are tonic. Because of this, this area suffers from cramps. And he himself does not pass.

A person may not feel cramp in the deep muscles of the back, but at the same time there are foci of overuse. In these places, the spine is constantly pulling in one direction - downwards or in a horizontal projection. This leads to osteochondrosis or scoliosis.

Osteochondrosis in the lumbosacral area is more common than others. First and foremost, this area suffers from overload during sedentary work.

How can you be treated effectively at home?

Effective home treatment for osteochondrosis of the lumbosacral spine is possible. At the same time, it should be clear that this disease is chronic, and it will not be possible to get rid of it completely. However, you can get rid of any negative symptoms in the form of pain, fatigue, and "forgetting" that the problem is present.

Also, keep in mind that osteochondrosis occurs before age 40 due to lifestyle. And without changing your life, you need to undergo therapy regularly - once every 2-3 months. The most efficient and cheapest way to do it yourself at home.

Treatment should be based on the normalization of muscle function and its strengthening. First you need to remove the spasm (it is the main cause of osteochondrosis in the chest). To do this, you can use a series of exercises with a complex spine correction device.

The device is based on autogravitation technology. Its essence lies in the fact that the force of impact is determined by the person's own weight. So you can safely exercise at home.

Exercising with the device is relatively simple - it is necessary to lie down on the device with each spine, one at a time, and lie motionless for 3 minutes in order to relax as much as possible. The entire process takes no more than half an hour. It is important to exercise the entire spine as only complex therapy can be effective.

The device relieves cramps, improves blood circulation and restores the intervertebral discs through two actions:

Activation of proprioceptors. It is the most effective muscle relaxant. Proprioceptors are active in the rest of the muscles and passive in the moment of tension. That is, their forced activation allows the muscle to relax.

Stretching the muscles and the spine. The device lifts the spine slightly off the floor. This takes pressure off the intervertebral discs and allows them to heal. The distance between the vertebrae increases, protrusions and hernias are retracted. Raising the spine also allows you to stretch the muscles, which leads to their relaxation. The device is recommended by fitness trainers, osteopaths, neurologists and chiropractors. It is also actively sold in Slovakia, Spain, Mexico, France, USA, Czech Republic.
