Exercises against osteochondrosis
Osteochondrosis - scourge of our century, disability. The damage to the United States of America from this disease is fifty billion dollars a year.
So what is osteochondrosis of the spine? The name of this disease can be interpreted as the ossification of the cartilage.
The intervertebral discs-pads-shock absorbers, which are located between the vertebrae and determine the mobility of the spine, are the first from the beginning of the disease. Collagen fibers and the delicate fibrous cartilage of the disc are transformed into coarse fibrous tissue. And the central part of it - the flesh core - dries up, and the disc, when the trunk is shaken, becomes a hard anvil, on which the bodies of the vertebrae begin to collapse.
The vertebrae sag, decrease in size and are soldered to the discs. That's how the spinal tissues deteriorate. And then comes the second phase of the disease - the phase of clinical manifestations, when pain and discomfort begin to persecute a person.
Know : if you wake up from pain in the shoulder joint, if the lumbago in the lower back is not allowed to bend freely, this is about yourself stated osteochondrosis. Intercostal neuralgia, muscle spasms, pain in the heart with light twisting movements of the spine, sleepless neck after sleep, as well as pain in the muscles of the thigh - all these are manifestations of osteochondrosis.
What is the cause of the disease? The intervertebral disc does not have capillaries that bring nutrients to it. The food penetrates into it by diffusion, an extremely slow and unprofitable way. There is only one way to increase the penetration of nutrients into the disc and "feed" it - these are specially designed physical exercises.
