Osteochondrosis, especially in the acute stage, is bedridden for a long time. Acute pain does not make you stand up, movement causes pain, inhalation of acute pain reacts in the chest. Effective treatment of osteochondrosis with folk remedies does not bring relief and does not reduce the anti-inflammatory process. If the disease causes an acute attack, you should immediately consult a doctor who will prescribe effective drugs.
Injection treatment

Medicine is constantly evolving, developing drugs and medical devices. The main task is to find and use effective drugs that will relieve the patient's condition during seizures and minimize the consequences of the disease.
Scientists are devoting great efforts to the study of osteochondrosis. It is related to the fact that the disease has become "younger" in recent years and manifests itself in almost every second person.
Depending on the severity of the pain syndrome, the doctor will prescribe a basic set of intramuscular injections of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
The result of injections is achieved quickly, the pain is relieved. Therapy is relevant to severe pain syndrome. Such drugs cannot be used as prophylaxis.
Treatment of the disease - drug blockade
There are times when effective treatment of osteochondrosis with injections does not bring relief. The main concomitant factor is the severe degree of dystrophic disorders in the articular cartilage. The doctor will prescribe a special drug block.
Drug blockade - the introduction of drugs into the affected area. A targeted blow with special means relieves the patient of severe pain during an attack.
For blockages, drugs are used that are not the same as intramuscular injections. Blockage is a complex of a hormone with an analgesic. The main action is carried out by a hormonal drug that relieves inflammation in the affected area.
Blocking drugs is an effective treatment for osteochondrosis.
Types of drug blocks
Drug blockades are divided into the following groups:
- is injected towards the nerve branches of the spinal region;
- is inserted in the direction of the return path of the branches of the spinal nerves.
A qualified specialist carries out a drug block. You cannot do the process at home. Wrong, inappropriate drug administration leads to grave consequences.
