There is osteocartilage degeneration, impaired structural and functional discs, which provides flexibility and mobility to the spine.As the disease intensifies, the vertebrae itself changes irreversibly.
The causes of osteocartilage degeneration are endogenous (endogenous) and exogenous (exogenous).
Endogenous causes include:
- Violation of spinal intrauterine development,
- Hereditary susceptibility and age-related cartilage changes.
The main exogenous cause of osteocartilage degeneration is the improper distribution of load on the spine, which leads to cartilage changes in areas where there is too much cartilage.
Causes this disease:
- Spine trauma,
- Infect,
- Back muscles,
- Curvature and lateral S-shaped curvature of the spine,
- Drug weight
- Maintain uncomfortable posture for a long time.
Osteochondrosis can develop not only among people who are inappropriate postures that engage in psychological work, but also among people who are well-trained in physically.
In addition to the mechanical reasons for developing osteocartilage, they also cause:
- Metabolic diseases (mainly calcium and phosphorus),
- Deficient of trace elements and vitamins (magnesium, manganese, zinc, vitamin D),
- Hereditary tendencies play a considerable role.
When lifting weights, jumping, falling, and static loading, minor injuries to the intervertebral discs occur.If this happens to the system, the disc will lose its elastic properties over time, the vertebrae will lose its elastic properties, and the distance between the vertebrae will decrease.This means that the nerve roots extending from the spinal cord are clamped and pain occurs.Meanwhile, swelling appears in the nerve vascular bundle clip, which can lead to greater infringement and increased pain.If the disc has begun to collapse, it will stop amortizing, the injury will be even greater, and the spine will gradually lose its flexibility.
The main sign of osteochondrosis is pain.Depending on where the disc is damaged, they can be injured: neck, shoulders, arms, back, and even chest.Sometimes one thinks he has a heart problem, but in fact, nerve compression caused by osteocartilage bones.At the same time, a person often feels over-tightening and numbness of muscles.If you squeeze the blood vessels in the brain, you will feel headaches in the ears, dizziness, ear noises, eyes, nausea and vomiting, fainting occurs.
You need to contact these complaints to your neurologist.He will examine the spine, check the brain circulation under the condition of a radiograph, computer or magnetic resonance tomography of the corresponding spine.
The treatment of osteochondrosis is a long process that requires a person with willpower and free time.To date, there are many ways to combat the disease: medicine, manual treatment, traction, massage and treatment of gymnastics.
Tips for preventing radiation inflammation and osteocartilage:
- Correct the curvature of spinal and postural disorders in a timely manner.
- Actively engage in physical education, which will allow you to form a muscle corset.
- Follow the diet and consume products that contain sufficient amounts of vitamins, calcium and magnesium (fish, cabbage, spinach, beans, nuts, seeds, peas, peas, shredded bread and fresh milk).
- Fight for extra weight.
- When carrying weight, make sure your hands are loaded evenly and wear a backpack instead of a bag.Lift weights only when using your legs without your spine.
