Osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine is the most common disease. Equally lumbar osteochondrosis concerned head of the men, women's brain. Many people know the pain. Felt at Least once everyone to have a manifestations of lumbar degenerative disc disease causing pain in the sacrum, loins, or lower extremities is usually called a "pinched a back nerve."
Cause a degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine
It can be concluded that the main cause of degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine in a vertical posture. However, without trigger factors such as physical inactivity, violation of metabolic processes in the body, disease cannot happen. The degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine caused by excess weight, weight lifting, or other selection of reasons.
A main source of pain in osteochondrosis of the lumbar spinal roots due to a nerve happens to be a narrowing of an inter-vertebral gap and the appearance of prolapse (protrusion of the intervertebral disc). Changes such can occur due to the deterioration, a power, a violation of metabolic processes in the tissues of the inter vertebral disc, and a gradual shrinkage and flattening of a nucleus a nucleus pulposus disc, and reduces the attenuation.
A process of development of osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine becomes significant bulging of a disk, which is initially a formation of a protrusion and a the formation of a hernia due to rupture of a ring of fibrous keeps the contents of a CD in place.
A rising a thin spinal nerve in the presence of degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine causes pain called sciatica.
Sciatica occurs when the pain is accompanied by numbness of the lower limbs. Depending on the place, but did nature know to share, and lumbago, sciatica. When a nerve in the inflammation we're talking sciatica. Treatment of sciatica is an analgesic medicines (ointments) symptomatic basically efficient not because of the disease reason - dystrophic processes in the tissues of the inter vertebral disks - no effect. To eliminate the pain, prevent complications of lumbar degenerative disc disease requires the use of complex therapeutic effects to enhance the gradual regeneration of tissues, disks, restore the normal height of the intervertebral discs in the normalization of the physiological parameters.
A fact is due to the fact that it's a spine significant load, osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine can lead to complications, such as hernia or the protruding parts, which are large spread and develop very quickly. Therefore, early treatment the disease is particularly important. Because if the symptoms persist, degenerative disc disease lumbar spine first, don't hesitate to seek medical help to undergo full assessment.
The symptoms of a degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine
Compression of spinal nerve roots by the herniated disc in the epidural space osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine
The epidural space is the space where the spinal roots. The symptoms of lumbar osteochondrosis correspond to the affected segments of a spine.
- A defeat of roots of L1, L2, who has lumbar degenerative disc disease causing severe radiculáriszt pain, decreased sensitivity, the so-called zone a "horse pants" - the third upper internal thigh, groin area. When complications of lumbar osteochondrosis development of a hernia, MRI signs, or that have rear-back-side location, a pain occurs in both legs.
- A defeat, a spine L5 lumbar osteochondrosis leads to a decrease in sensitivity, severe stabbing pain in the lower back, radiating to the thumb, or in some cases decrease the performance of extensor a thumb.
- Defeat the root of S1 a lumbar osteochondrosis expressed pain, and a subsequent reduction, the sensitivity of the external surface of a femur and tibia, the leg and the little finger and a fourth finger. A defeat of S1 that occurs with the loss of a plantar and Achilles reflexes.
To lose an artery Depron Gotteron
A defeat arteries Depron-gotteron, the symptoms of a degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine similar symptoms in a myeloid, and Kautokeino "intermittent claudication". A chronic low back pain in the lumbar spine can cause paralysis, the buttocks, the lower legs, loss of sensation in a anogenital region. Lose extra artery that goes to either a root L5 And cause development of syndrome of "paralysis sciatica" (unilateral or bilateral) and loss of motor pelvic functions.
Compression-vascular ischemia (malaisamy) osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine
Osteochondrosis spine you can get the lumbar compression-vascular ischemia (malaisamy), which violates the blood supply of the spinal cord, the peripheral structures due to a reduction in an inter-vertebral hole, through which arteries and veins. It is due to This that a flattening of a disc (reduced to an ep-je), abnormal excessive mobility, a spine, a weak ligament, with the formation of neoarthrosis, and joints. The movement of the spine, affects an injured segment, which is a further compression, a trauma to the clamped vessel artery. In addition, it may be a reflex contraction of a vessel which has a hole through compression of a spinal canal – there the effect is that a "narrow bed".
Compressive myelopathia
Compressive myelopathia a spinal cord lesion caused by a stenosis of a for some reason the spinal canal. The severity of the injury, and the symptoms depend on the localization of lesions. In most cases, the course, and the symptoms of the disease are episodic in nature, an attack to the virtual remission.
The symptoms of a degenerative disc disease, a lumbar spine, which can complicate the development of a herniated disc creator merger law:-LI, which is a defeat of a segment L2-L4, S1-S2 spinal cord (syndrome of copy-cat a): pain in the lumbar region, back of thigh, calf, weakness in the legs. The development of the blood pressure is low, the hypotrophy far as well as the calf muscles, a paresis foot loss of the plantar and Achilles reflexes. Sensitivity posteroexternal surface of the feet, legs decreased or missing.
The symptoms of lumbar degenerative disc disease a herniated disc LI-II compression coccygeal segment S3 syndrome (cone): a yet clinical symptoms include a severe disturbance of the pelvic organs, such as urinary incontinence and fecal incontinence, intermittent a constipation, reduction of loss of sensation in the anogenital region or to a rapid development of the bed sores, the loss of the anal reflex.
Osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine, which complicates the compression or damage to nerve roots in a spinal cord starting from the first lumbar, and lower, developing a condition called "cauda equina syndrome". Noted should be that this condition is more prone in people who have a tight in the beginning, congenital spinal canal.
The so-called "pigtails" batch end of a nerve roots in a spinal cord, starting from the first lumbar segment below. A package arrives for a name, since the similarity in a appearance with a ponytail. When diagnosing cauda equina syndrome is a crucial role, in addition to a local presence of symptoms pain expressed pain radiculáriszt a got nature. The cauda equina is different, a syndrome, a cone, which may not be severe pain.
Excruciating, intense pain in the lower back and the sacrum, radiating to the buttocks, the posteroexternal surface, a comb, a anogenital region. Candidate for degree of disorder of the different types of peripheral pelvic functions, there is numbness in the form of a stripe, peripheral paralysis, paresis. In more severe cases, paralysis of the buttocks and both legs. Characteristic clinical features asymmetry motor sensory disorders.
The symptoms of lumbar degenerative disc disease is manifested depending on the location of a lesion
Osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine can lead to the syndrome myeloid formation of "intermittent claudication". In this case, lack of blood supply to the lower part of a spinal cord manifests itself they're feeling weak in the legs when walking, a numbness, a smaller tribe, the urge to urinate. The pain in my leg. Ezek a symptoms of lumbar osteochondrosis disappears in the other.
Yudovina "intermittent claudication", occurs when ischemia of the roots in a cauda equina: felt tingling and chills when walking, anemia, a peripheral parts of the leg, gradually a symptoms ezek the lumbar osteochondrosis rise above, grab the groin, perineum, genitals. There is a weak point of the leg. A short rest lead to rapid disappearance of symptoms.
A lumbar osteochondrosis is complicated by the compression of an artery a Adamkewicz, which occurs when a weight lifting a bad move, tremors, and manifests itself clinically by paralysis of varying severity (the surface complete loss of sensitivity), the disorders of pelvic organs (incontinence of urine or stool), atrophy of the leg muscles, a quick appearance of bedsores.
Manifestations of osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine
Manifested degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine dull, aching pain in the lower back outside the period of exacerbation. The pain can worsen due to prolonged uncomfortable situation, stay in a, or a stress. When a recumbent position pain is reduced or disappears.
A stressful test situations, such as high load, hypothermia, or even a sudden awkward movement of osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine can be section of the acute. Acute stage is characterized by severe pain, localized not only in the lumbar spine, but spread to the lower limbs. You may find that the muscles of the tension of the waist, the body tries to reduce the burden on the patients spine. The patient's lumbar osteochondrosis is often the acute stage, you need to find a position where the pain is weakening, and try to keep it up.
Anatomically osteochondrosis lumbar spine is the conversion of a cartilage, a bone, overgrowth of the bone tissue begins to compress nerve roots extending from the spinal cord, causing pain. The reason for this is that this is an in growth of the bone tissue of the malnutrition of the intervertebral discs, which lacks the fluid causes disruption in the functioning of structure.
Treatment for degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine
Osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine disease, which requires long, intensive, comprehensive treatment. This is true especially in special cases where more or protrusion of inter-vertebral hernia.
Thank you reflex techniques, effective in the treatment of a degenerative disc disease the lumbar spine can be performed with maximum benefits without any side effects. But we must not forget that such a serious problem can not be solved quickly. In all cases, the lumbar osteochondrosis should be assigned strictly individual treatment.
On the basis of the treatment of osteochondrosis lumbar spine acupuncture, Moxa-therapy, vacuum-therapy, pharmaco a, to find techniques of manual therapy. Ezek a treatment combination to ensure it is able to normal to restore the blood circulation, and eliminate the stagnation of a region in the lumbar, vascular edema, and muscle spasms, to restore the balance the metabolic processes in the tissues of inter-vertebral discs, improves the nutrition. That's how it starts, and stimulates the process of natural regeneration. Noted should be that a continuous manual therapy lumbar osteochondrosis only directed at improving function of the spine, as well as the move to a disc will not be taken into account.
Application procedures a treatment for degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine completes the reception of a herbal medicine, improves the balance of metabolic processes and nerve supply to a body. In addition, the necessary correction power and an active lifestyle. A treatment for degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine, it is important for the correction of body weight, since being overweight puts extra strain on the lower part of it serves as a factor that aggravates the development of osteochondrosis.
Great experience for a treatment of a degenerative disc disease, a lumbar spine, the accumulated long-term to speak in most cases allows to achieve significant results achieved need to be sufficiently persistent to prevent surgery, eliminate back pain, improve your musculoskeletal activity, complex healing, not only in the lumbar region, but the whole body.
Usually a positive effect to achieve a treatment from 10 to 15 treatments. Acute pain goes away in approximately 1-3 sessions.
Don't forget that the sooner a treatment for degenerative disc disease, the faster positive results.
