Hello, dear reader.Today we will talk about osteochondrosis - a problem, nowadays almost every person at a certain age.
In recent years, the once exotic word osteochondrosis has stuck in our vocabulary.Many people, regardless of age, "diagnose" this problem confidently.
And after fifty, the majority sees osteochondrosis as an almost mandatory pension and reacts to complaints "Who does not have them!"
This is not only wrong, but basically a harmful view.
After all, osteochondrosis is not just a chronic disease, this is often the condition of the spine that leads to the indifference of a person for himself, banal inactivity in the first symptoms and the foul laziness to spend some time with their health.
Osteochondrosis is an vertebral disease in which the connective tissue is damaged, the windows lose their strength and elasticity, their shape and consistency change and they become susceptible to provocative factors.
The consequence can be a lead, swing fire nerwort, kyphosis and other complications.
In addition, pathological changes can not only influence the spine, but also the ligaments, blood vessels, nerve endings, which leads to the defeat of the internal organs and systems of the body.
So if we want to live, you have to take care of the spine.
The causes of osteochondrosis
There are many factors that cause changes in intervertebral discs.We emphasize the most important.
- Inheritance.Some diseases of the spine have a genetic predisposition.So if you have burdened inheritance, attention should be as close as possible to the problems of the spine.
- Violation of the metabolism.The diffuse diet of cartilage fabrics and slices can be impaired or weakened due to the poisoning of the body (including the frequent use of medicinal products such as antibiotics), various infections and toxic environment.
- Obesity.The spine offers the posture and uprising of a person.The more we have weight, the more difficult it is to finish the task.
- Spinal injuries.Even smaller bruises of the spine (not to mention fractures) can lead to serious problems.It happens that problems manifest themselves many years after the injury.
- Moster disorders.The curvature of the spine, the instability of the elements of the spine, the duration of unpleasant poses is the direct path to osteochondrosis.Unfortunately, the tips from parents and teachers do not turn their backs at the table in childhood and youth, do not read, and do not freeze in an unpleasant pose on the computer and many others seem to fit ridiculous and unreasonable ("It's convenient for me").With age you understand that not everything goes without trace, but it happens late.
The asymmetrical stress of the muscles of the spine, for example, with constant wearing a bag on a shoulder, in the presence of unpleasant or excessively soft mattresses and pillows, influences the panes.Wearing uncomfortable shoes or shoes with very high heels is also concerned.
- Improper nutrition.The insufficient and unbalanced intake of fluid, vitamin and trace elements in the body contributes to a violation of the diffuse diet of the spine.
- Excessive physical effort or load changes.For example, working in connection with the constant lifting of weights, jerky movements, etc. Perhaps violations during pregnancy in women.Also disadvantage both the intensive physical activity for an unusual organism and a strong decrease in loads (for example, if they are trained by professional athletes, dancers, etc.)
