Osteochondrosis of the lumbosacral or other parts of the spine is something that more than 90% of people will have to face. In this disease, the intervertebral discs bear the severity of the impact. They collapse, going beyond their allotted space. This leads to pain as the deformed disc begins to compress the nerves.
Speaking not in scientific terms, osteochondrosis is a wear and tear of the spine. In modern life there is a different load on different parts of the spine. Therefore, something wears out quickly (for -30-40 years), something slow (for 50-70 years).
In sedentary work, osteochondrosis most often affects the lumbosacral region. It is about him and his treatment we will talk in this article.
Why is osteochondrosis inevitable?
The spine is structured in such a way as to withstand enormous loads. But due to the upright posture, he works non-stop all day. In addition, the slope immediately increases the load on a certain part by several times. And if you sit leaning forward, then the spine experiences constant colossal pressure. And man does not feel this overload. This is the first cause of osteochondrosis.
The second and more dangerous is the spasm of the back muscles. These muscles are able to stay tense for hours - for example, keep your back straight throughout the day. The hands are not capable of such work. Try to clench your fist tightly for at least 10 minutes and then loosen it. You will feel pain. And the muscles of the back have a different structure - they are tonic. Therefore, this area suffers from spasm. And he himself does not pass.
One may not feel a spasm of the deep muscles of the back, but at the same time there are foci of overload. At these points, the spine is constantly pulled in one direction - down or in horizontal projection. This causes osteochondrosis or scoliosis.
Osteochondrosis in the lumbosacral region is more common than in others. This area, in the first place, suffers from congestion during sedentary work.
How to treat effectively at home?
It is possible to effectively treat osteochondrosis of the lumbosacral spine at home. At the same time it should be understood that this disease is chronic and it will not be possible to completely get rid of it. But you can eliminate all the negative symptoms in the form of pain, fatigue and "forget" that there is this problem.
Also remember that before the age of 40, osteochondrosis occurs due to lifestyle. And without changing your life, you will have to undergo therapy regularly - once every 2-3 months. The most effective and inexpensive way to do it yourself at home.
Treatment should be based on the normalization of muscle function and their strengthening. You must first eliminate the spasm (it is the main cause of osteochondrosis in the chest). To do this, you can use a set of exercises using a device for complex correction of the spine.
The device is based on autogravity technology. Its essence lies in the fact that the force of the blow is determined by a person's own weight. This allows you to train safely at home.
The exercises with the device are relatively simple - you need to lie down one by one with each spine of the device and lie still for 3 minutes, trying to relax as much as possible. The whole procedure will take no more than half an hour. It is important to work out the entire spine, as only complex therapy can be effective.
The device relieves spasm, improves blood circulation and restores the intervertebral discs due to 2 actions:
Activation of proprioceptors. This is the most effective muscle relaxant. Proprioceptors are active at muscle rest and passive at the time of tension. That is, their forced activation causes the muscle to relax.
Stretching the muscles and spine. The device lifts the spine slightly off the floor. This takes the tension out of the intervertebral discs, allowing them to heal. The distance between the vertebrae increases, the protrusions and hernias are pulled back. Also, lifting the spine allows you to stretch the muscles, which leads to their relaxation. The device is recommended by fitness trainers, osteopaths, neurologists and chiropractors. It is also actively sold in Slovakia, Spain, Mexico, France, USA, Czech Republic.
