What to do to stop sowing spin
When nature created a man, she counted that he would be a monkey and will run on four paws. With straightening, the spine assumes the bulk of the body. Nature did not plan to load the spine so much, so he, to one degree or another, is inevitably wear out. Over the years, the spine is exposed not only to age-related changes, but also because due to physiological burden. The wear of the spine is a flattening and degradation of the bone bodies of the vertebrae, thinning and degradation of cartilage surfaces between the vertebrae, the development of individual chips from these degraded and dried articular, cartilage surfaces.
Consider the process of the formation of hernia. Between two vertebrae there are cartilage surfaces that are covered with a film from two sides. And when part of the articular surface is painted, a small bubble is formed. These are the most hernias and become an additional damage factor - they can squeeze the nerves running in this area, which causes muscle spasm in response to pain. Muscular spasm, in turn, leads to additional pressure between the muscles lying along the vertebrae. As a result, a closed circle of mutual burdens is obtained: on the one hand, a spasm that supports pain, on the other hand, pain that supports spasm. All together speeds up the further degradation of the bodies of the vertebrae. In addition, this damage is accompanied by the body's reaction - the occurrence of the edema. The enemy additionally squeezes the surrounding tissues, and this circle of mutual burdens is turned on again. Therefore, it is not necessary to count on the fact that the pain will never. But we have a lot of mechanisms that allow, firstly, to cope with pain, secondly, to prevent it from or at least postpone. Finally, it can be done so that in the future the pain appears with the smallest probability and as long as possible.
How to prevent pain
The most important and efficient method in the fight against pain in the back and its prevention is sport. Any fitness, any physical activity, any training is better than hypodynamine (weakening the muscular activity of the body as a result of a low-lifestyle lifestyle. - Approx. ed.). There is a lot of special exercises that will help train the necessary muscles. The difficulty lies only that the statics (maintenance of posture) gives very small, hidden muscles, make training and strengthen which is technically difficult, but perhaps.
Since the Soviet Union, we have a classic medical physical education school (LFC), which is focused on training muscle supporting the spine. LFC includes very detailed and methodologically competently painted exercises. In general, they give an excellent result, but to perform them very boring. Stimulus to engage in such an physical education is negligible - to force the patient to make these exercises can only if the sharp necessity occurs. But there are traditional techniques. For example yoga. Classical Hatha Yoga, it is not like philosophy, not as ideology, but as Indian gymnastics, includes complexes, with the help of which soldiers prepared, and now support people's health. Hatha Yoga is a consistent complex of exercises that are aimed at maintaining the health of the spine. It is worth noting that everything is fine with the spine with those who do yoga while he is a spine - still healthy.
It is more difficult to deal with any training sessions to the patients who have a spine already compromised - when there is a hernia of a spinal column and muscle-tonic syndromes associated with these hernias. This is the very circle of mutual burden, which we talked about, when another functional defect of the injured muscle group joins the anatomical defect of the spinal column and when the patient has transferred the surgery on the spine. Previously, such operations were carried out constantly - removed hernia with a size of even 0.5-1 cm. Such formations are not completely squeezed, but their removal leads to the fact that the patient has a period of rehabilitation during which it refuses even from insignificant physical activity. It turns out that the muscular tonic syndrome is not liquidated, and the muscle tone is lost to a certain extent. In addition, painful syndrome can often not only be eliminated, but even increase.
What to do if pain already appeared
If the patient has acute back pain, it must be stopped. Medical facilities are used to relieve - mostly painful and anti-inflammatory means - and techniques that eliminate muscle spasm. The latter include osteopathic and kinesiological correction, physiotherapy, electrical treatment, shock-wave therapy, modern laser and therapy. There are a lot of options. For each patient, the procedure is selected taking into account the specific situation. After the acute muscular tonic syndrome is removed, you need to fix this effect, so here you need to resort to those procedures that cause long-term relaxation. For example, sessions, or any other displays the stress procedure.
When the patient moves to be painful, the next stage is necessary - training. But for a person who has everything badly happened to the spine, there is not enough ordinary campaign to the fitness club (and sometimes it is impossible at all) and classes with a simple coach - the day after tomorrow the patient will fall into the hospital to the doctor again. Training should be special. One of the most modern technologies that is intended for the careful workout of muscles supporting the spine is Biofeedback therapy. Training includes five simulators (for different spine sections, a separate simulator is allocated), on which the patient is very hardly fixed to work only those muscles that are related to maintaining posture. First, testing procedure is a rehabilitologist asks the patient to perform certain movements with increasing load, meanwhile the computer assesses the patient's condition. Following the testing, the computer will "say" which movements are allowed and safe, will rate the maximum strength and endurance at the moment, as well as the symmetry of the usual abbreviations. Relying on the data of this testing, the doctor will make an individual rehabilitation program, including 24 classes (less often 12).
From training to training, the load will increase, but it all starts precisely from the individual capabilities of the patient who will not harm it. During training, the patient can observe its work on the simulator on the computer screen in the form of a cartoon, which, on the one hand, helps it to perform a given load, and on the other, it makes the workout that is non-piece. The effectiveness of such training is proven by serious research. This technology allows to reduce the hernia of the spine, it helps even in terms of pathology, patients are recovered after surgery or injuries.
Very effectively and swimming - the water "removes" the severity of those kilograms that the spine wears. In addition, training in the pool is the most acceptable for patients who are forced to search primarily safe methods for restoring the health of their spine.
The main thing - in the event of pain, contact a qualified technician. The doctor will be able to assess the patient's condition, to make a consistent program, where there is a place of technology that will remove spasm, eliminate pain, will improve blood supply in the zone where there was a pathological center, and then carefully, but it will be perfectly created a corset that protects this zone from re-injury. Also, the patient should have the opportunity to consult not only with a rehabilitologist, but also with an orthopedist, a neurologist who can also help. Therefore, the best solution to the problems with the spine is still a method that will include the help of various specialists and technologies.
