Hello, dear readers.Today we will talk about osteochondrosis - a problem, nowadays exciting of almost every person at a certain age.
In recent years, once foreign words osteochondrosis have entered our terminology firmly.Many, regardless of age, "diagnose" this problem with confidence.
And after fifty, the majority consider osteochondrosis to be an almost compulsory increase in pension, responding to complaints "which is not!"
This is not only wrong, but fundamentally a harmful approach.
After all, osteochondrosis is not just a chronic disease, often it is a spinal condition, which leads himself to indifferentness of a person, the first symptoms and passive inactivity to the primary laziness to spend some time on their health.
Osteochondrosis is a spinal disease in which the connective tissue is damaged, the disc loses its strength and elasticity, changing their size and stability, they become unsafe for any stimulating factors.
Results may be the fruit, intervertebral hernia, kiffosis and other complications.
In addition, pathological changes can affect not only the spine, but also ligaments, blood vessels, nerve endings, leading to defeat of internal organs and systems of the body.
Therefore, if we want to live, you need to take care of the spine.
Caused by osteochondrosis
There are many factors that cause changes in intervertebral discs.We highlight the main people.
- Heredity.Some diseases of the spine have a genetic tendency, so if you have put a burden on heredity, then attention should be as close as possible on the problems of the spine.
- Violation of metabolism.Cartilage tissue and disk spread nutrition can be impaired or weakened as a result of the body's intoxication (including frequent use of drugs, such as antibiotics), various infections and toxic environments.
- Over weight.The spine provides the currency and rebellion of a person, therefore, the more we have weight, the more difficult it is to face the task.
- spinal injuries.Even minor scratches of the spine (not to mention fractures) can cause serious problems.It happens that problems appear several years after injuries.
- Moster disorder.The curvature of the spinal cord is the volatility of the elements of the spinal column, the duration of uncomfortable pose is the direct path for osteochondrosis.Unfortunately, in childhood and youth, the tips of parents and teachers do not twist their back on the table, do not read lies, do not "freeze" in an uncomfortable posture on the computer and seem to have many other ridiculous and unfair night -ing ("it's convenient to me").With age, you understand that everything does not go without trace, but it happens late.
The asymmetric load of the spinal muscles, for example, wearing a bag on a shoulder, affects the disc, in the presence of uncomfortable or highly soft mattresses and pillows.Wearing uncomfortable shoes or shoes with very high heels is also affected. - Improper nutrition.Inadequate and unbalanced intake of fluids, vitamins and trace elements in the body contributes to the violation of nutrition of spine.
- Excessive physical exertion or load change.For example, the work associated with continuous lifting of weight, jerky movements, etc., perhaps violations during pregnancy in women.Both intensive physical activity for an abnormal organism also affects a sharp decrease in weight (eg, when trained by professional athletes, dancers, etc.)
