The technical development they're simple as possible, in modern life. Where once stood factories, the most, most, have, shopping centers, movie theaters, beauty salons. The process of goods production is almost completely mechanized, and computerized. The production sector is gradually replaced by pécs or the propeller. A meanwhile, ül the words hours in the office to another to find an effective method of sales, marketing ploy, or another opportunity to make money on other people's wallet. Then you get into the car and comfortable, a comfortable driver's seat coming home. Of course, painted a perfect picture without referring to the traffic jams, stuffy offices, public transport vehicles, which enjoy a significant part of the population, etc. But who doesn't want to live?
However, what's the point of such comfort? A century has already stated a century of inactivity, which is associated with many unpleasant consequences. Cardiovascular disease, severe obesity, high blood pressure, sciatica, and other diseases associated with they own car, a find, office chair, and a private office. But the most common disease that we pay for the sedentary lifestyle, the lower back pain. He will be the focus of this article.
Osteochondrosis
What is osteochondrosis? Consider a mechanism for the development of type I disease, When we hear that a disc degenerative disease, the first place you think of back pain, muscle. However, a disease directly muscle is not affected. Pathological changes of a cartilage, everything that exists in the joints, a test.
Cartilage tissue is a protective and cushioning functions. In addition, you share a special secret, that lubricates the joint surfaces, reduces friction during movement of the bones. But in some cases, to a wearing down of cartilage (degenerate). In addition, metabolic diseases, the lack of certain vitamins, minerals, and hereditary metabolic dysfunction of disturbed nutrition, a cartilage tissue, lose strength, elasticity. This is also called the condition kwashiorkor.
So, osteochondrosis – degenerative-dystrophic changes in a cartilage. In theory, pathological changes can occur in any joint. But speak up, low back pain often affects the spine. Then depending on which part of the spine localization process, to distinguish between lumbar, thoracic and cervical osteochondrosis.
Imagine a spine. It consists of the separate bones of the vertebrae. Each vertebra has more processes, a test. Between the body, the appendix has a hole, through which passes a cable of the spinal cord. The vertebrae are arranged in such a way that a in the form of a holes hollow tube, called the spinal canal. The test of a vertebrae are placed one above the other, and between them a layer of cartilage – an inter-vertebral cartilaginous disc. They work as shock absorbers, mitigating the effects of, and reduces the load on a spine, when or other movement of walking a person. The vertebrae have the same structure, and differ in size. Except for a few fused vertebrae sacrococcygeal division seven elements of a cervical spine,which differ from each other in a structure.
The vertebral column is represented by four departments:
- neck (from 1 to 7 vertebrae);
- breast (8, 12);
- lumbar (the 13-th 18.);
- sacrum and coccyx (a division that's still the bones of America, and therefore not involved in the pathological process).
Accordingly, osteochondrosis of a backbone is divided into types of three main that outlined above.
Types of osteochondrosis
The most common osteochondrosis of neck a, because a, cervical vertebrae have different structures, as well as the muscles that support a spine, this part is rather poorly developed. Over time, neck or any other region of the spine, the disc is a üvegporc begins to harden, lose elasticity, the approach of vertebrae to each other. The result of nerve fibers may be one, or the blood vessels. As a consequence, a disturbed innervation and blood supply to the relevant authorities, which leads to the irregularities of the work is to reduce motor activity, the appearance of pain syndrome. In addition, if the displacement of the vertebrae, the shoots can irritate muscle tissue in this region, which muscle cramps. But in the background a disease, muscle machine, so it should work, that is a double compensate for reduced shock-absorbing function of the spine and changing the position of the vertebral bodies.
Together with the neck, quite common in the lumbosacralis degenerative disc disease, which develops on the background of a regular, big load in the back, weight lifting, etc.
Thoracic osteochondrosis is slightly less than the first two types of a disease. In fact, a diagnosis is difficult, a disease, many because of non-specific symptoms similar to the symptoms of angina. Especially noteworthy is the fact that by themselves examination, vertebrae, cartilage, nerve, book publishing, the spinal cord pain receptors, you don't have, that's why the pain is osteochondrosis an indirect nature. Osteochondrosis is some kind of Osteochondropathy, which is a little different aetiology. Words in the article.
The causes of the disease
A main reason for the development of degenerative disc disease – physical inactivity – we started the story. Mint is said in the movement's life it's you. What's the situation is that there is no high motor activity may affect the state of the joints and the spine? The thing is that the back cover is a natural muscular girdle that supports the spine and helps him to properly perform your duties. However, because of the physical exertion weakened muscles of the spine lose successfully disbursed by the eu structural, a main burden of an inter-vertebral cartilaginous disc, but in the end through degenerative changes.
However, excessive exercise, such as professional athletes it can lead to degeneration and cartilage degeneration, and thus triggers the development of osteochondrosis, Osteochondropathy and other. Accordingly, in this regard, you have to have Gold to keep going to be middle ground, in order to avoid the health problems.
An important role in the development of degenerative disc disease plays a style of modern life. In addition to high physical activity, attributed it to unbalanced diet, lack of necessary vitamins, minerals, nutrition, Smoking, alcohol consumption, everyday life and the workplace is bad for most of us, mailbox in a half a month, sleep, find mattress, his habitual residence, the bad posture, driving, working conditions, etc.D.
All this inevitably leads to malnutrition, the cartilage, the loss of quality characteristics (strength, flexibility), as well as the development of osteoarthritis. The arch is another common cause of lower back pain. It would seem, what relation to the deformation of an arch may be pain in the lower back, especially the neck? It turns out that the most direct. The human foot is designed to be able to properly distribute the weight of the whole body when walking. The evolution, the bones of the foot form two arch – the longitudinal transverse. Because of this structure, as well as the appearance of physiological curves a spine allow the human bipedalism. Or If you have a arch they reason, a flat, a full load is shifted to the spine. But it's the pain, or limitation of range of motion, and migraines.
In recent years, many scientists have a tendency to is the fact that in many respects the development of osteoarthritis is affected by heredity.
The symptoms of a degenerative disc disease
How to recognize degenerative disc disease? Symptoms of osteoarthritis are very diverse. While most people know that the main symptoms of the disease: muscle pain, difficulty in movement. However, it is not talked about consciously in detail about the mechanism of development of degenerative disc disease. After all, it's a sign of the disease is directly related to processes that occur during the development of the pathology.
So, as we already know, the symptoms of the disease degenerative disk associated with narrow blood vessels, and nerve fibers later violation of innervation of nutrition, as well as a high muscles, organs and tissues. So, one of pathological changes will affect not just the muscles. So, the symptoms of a degenerative cervical disc disease, frequent headache, and dizziness, and the pain in the neck muscles, and shoulder girdle.
A Headache is cervical osteochondrosis is vascular in origin: the blood in the brain flow is interrupted, and the nerve cells experience hypoxia. Also linked to a dizziness to reach that sometimes, that unconscious States. The blood disorder associated with cervical osteochondrosis, in rare cases this hearing loss can cause the patient, violation of movement coordination (unsteady on his feet), hoarseness of the voice. The snoring could be an indicator for the development of osteoarthritis.
If degenerative changes affect the spinal discs, a thoracic spine , a degenerative disc disease appears with pain in the back, a high localization, accession asthmatic component, heart hurts. Sometimes the patient may have shortness of breath and arrythmia. Often patients confuse the appearance of cardialgia of ischemic heart disease (angina pectoris). But this is the kind of heart pain, still a number of distinguishing characteristics. Subjectively can be considered as a "number" in the box. The intake of nitrates and other antianginal funds to relieve the pain. Angina people, increased anxiety, even the fear of death. Thoracic degenerative disc disease does not have such symptoms. Sometimes cardialgia caused by osteochondrosis can last for a few days, but this is not to endanger human life. Coronary heart pain, intermittent, but ignoring them may lead to the myocardial infarction, before the time of a medical aid attack angina may cause death.
Osteochondrosis is a lumbosacralis spine is characterized by pain in lower back. The pain radiating to the lower extremities. The patient may be walking difficulties of which a reduction in connection, the sound is innervated segment of a spinal cord muscles. A recording of the contractions of nature. Sometimes the patient is difficult to raise the rear of the bed or to change a test situation. Reflexes of the lower limbs osteochondrosis a lumbosacralis decreased.
Osteochondropathy
I touched on this article such a problem, since the children of lower back pain. A symptoms, treatment of this disease are different in adults. This is due, primarily, to the concept of a child includes a variety of osteochondrosis, Osteochondropathy. Ezek among the most common are:
- disease Keller,
- disease Osgood–Schlatter,
- disease President-Maybe
- disease Legg-calve-Peters.
Keller's disease occurs in younger children, 8-12 years, but can develop in adulthood, which happens much less frequently. When this disease affects the spongy bone of the foot. In fact, there are two main types of this disease. Disease Keller influence type is the first of the navicular bone. A disease If it occurs in the second type, pathological changes affect the metatarsal bones.
Schlatter disease affects the tibia bone in one area, a commotion developed in the age group 11-14 years. Predisposing factors are playing sports (football, basketball, running, jumping, etc.). The appearance of a disease can be the result of a difference between the speed of bone growth in adolescents, and the development of a cartilage.
Disease President-or curvature of a spine, one type of thoracic osteochondrosis. This condition develops usually in children and adolescents 8-14 years, but a long period of time child, nor the parent will not notice any significant differences. A visible symptom is the incorrect posture of the child.
Disease Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, which affects the thigh bone, or rather the head, is the area in which the cartilage. The disease often affects children between 4-14 years old are displayed in gimp. The pathology may occur in necrotic changes in the tissues of the femoral head, which are not a-infectious (aseptic) character. In most cases, the disease is due to a genetic predisposition. In the early stages, the child begins to limp. Later, the baby's pain in the thigh, knee, especially when driving.
Prevention of osteochondrosis of the children of moderate physical activity, wearing comfortable shoes, repair, maintenance, a correct posture, which has a special exercises. Low back pain and the pregnancy, of course, if a woman is suffering, osteoarthritis, plan to get pregnant, you need to deal with the treatment of the disease. Although this is completely cured of the disease, this is impossible, since to fully restore the cartilage can't be.
Together with sufficient physical activity, the moderation and balance in eating will help you normalize your weight, then hold subsequently under control. Normal weight – the key to prosperity, the fajbiológia the back. Back to the healthy A strong and restorative sleep, no headaches, and the prevention of other diseases of the musculoskeletal system. You like colonel wants to see you, pay more attention to take care of health.
