Osteochondrosis of the lumbosacral area or other parts of the spine is something that more than 90% of people will have to deal with. In this disease, the intervertebral discs are the most affected. They collapse, going beyond the space allotted to them. This causes pain when the deformed disc begins to compress the nerves.
Speaking not in scientific words, osteochondrosis is wear and tear on the spine. In modern life, there is a different load on different parts of the spine. Therefore, something wears out quickly (in -30-40 years), something slowly (in 50-70 years).
With sedentary work, osteochondrosis most often affects the lumbosacral region. It is about him and the treatment of him that we will talk about in this article.
Why is osteochondrosis inevitable?
The column is structured in such a way that it can withstand enormous loads. But due to the upright posture, he works without interruption all day. Also, the slope instantly increases the load on a certain part several times. And if you're leaning forward, your spine is experiencing permanent colossal pressure. And the person does not feel this overload. This is the first reason for the appearance of osteochondrosis.
The second and most dangerous is a spasm of the back muscles. These muscles can stay tense for hours; for example, keep your back straight all day. The hands are not capable of such work. Try to clench your fist hard for at least 10 minutes and then loosen. You will feel pain. And the back muscles have a different structure: they are tonic. Because of this, this area spasms. And he himself does not pass.
A person may not feel a spasm of the deep muscles of the back, but at the same time, pockets of overload are created. At these points, the spine constantly pulls in one direction: downward or in a horizontal projection. This causes osteochondrosis or scoliosis.
Osteochondrosis in the lumbosacral region occurs more often than others. This area, first of all, is overloaded during sedentary work.
How to be treated effectively at home?
Effective treatment of osteochondrosis of the lumbosacral spine at home is possible. At the same time, it should be understood that this disease is chronic and it will not be possible to get rid of it completely. But you can eliminate all the negative symptoms in the form of pain, fatigue and "forgetting" that this problem exists.
Remember also that before the age of 40, osteochondrosis appears due to lifestyle. And without changing your life, you will have to undergo therapy regularly, once every 2-3 months. The most efficient and economical way to do it yourself at home.
Treatment should be based on the normalization of muscle function and its strengthening. First you need to eliminate the spasm (it is the main cause of thoracic osteochondrosis). To do this, you can use a set of exercises using an apparatus for complex correction of the spine.
The device is based on autogravity technology. Its essence lies in the fact that the force of the impact is determined by the person's own weight. This allows you to exercise safely at home.
Exercises with the apparatus are relatively simple: it is necessary to lie down one by one with each column in the apparatus and lie still for 3 minutes, trying to relax as much as possible. The whole procedure will not take more than half an hour. It is important to exercise the entire spine, as only complex therapy can be effective.
The device relieves spasms, improves blood circulation and restores intervertebral discs thanks to 2 actions:
Activation of proprioceptors. It is the most effective muscle relaxant. Proprioceptors are active at rest of the muscles and passive at the moment of tension. That is, its forced activation causes the muscle to relax.
Stretch the muscles and the spine. The device lifts the spine slightly off the ground. This takes the stress off the intervertebral discs, allowing them to heal. The distance between the vertebrae increases, the protrusions and hernias are removed. In addition, lifting the spine allows the muscles to stretch, which leads to their relaxation. The device is recommended by physical trainers, osteopaths, neurologists, and chiropractors. Also actively sold in Slovakia, Spain, Mexico, France, USA, Czech Republic.
