Lumbar osteochondrosis is a deformation of the spine in the lower back.The disease affects intervertebral discs, cartilage tissues, spine roots and nerve fibers and causes back pain.
Reasons
The main cause of the disease is the inadequate distribution of the load in the muscle system.Generally, this happens when riding a high -heeled, wearing a bag on one side, with an uncomfortable pose in a dream or sitting work.At risk are elderly, pregnant, only professional athletes and office workers.
Other causes of lumbar osteochondrosis:
- injuries, bruises, weapons fractures, legs, spine;
- damage to the organs of the musculoskeletal system;
- gastrointestinal diseases that cause a deficiency of beneficial substances;
- Body tension in prolonged loads;
- psycho -emotional disorders;
- Bloodflow violations in the spine column;
- inflammation of the musculoskeletal apparatus;
- infections of internal organs and vertebrae;
- joint stiffness, disc displacement;
- protrusion and intervertebral hernias;
- severe poisoning;
- metabolic disorders;
- Posture curvature;
- sedentary lifestyle;
- dehydration;
- unbalanced diet;
- Calcium and oxygen deficiency;
- Overweight;
- bad habits;
- Age -related changes;
- joint diseases.
Symptoms of Lumbar Osteochondrosis
The intensity and nature of symptoms depend on the stage of the disease.The faster the patient finds signs of osteochondroscro osteochondroscro, the more effective treatment will be.
General Symptoms:
- Intense pain at the back of the back, which can give to the feet, internal organs of the abdomen and pelvis;
- kidney and sacred pain;
- fatigue and stress in the lower back and sacral section of the spine;
- Difficulties in moving, walking, inclinations and turns of the body;
- Periodic history on the back;
- fatigue after smaller load;
- crispy back, violation of mobility, pain in a calm state;
- dormancy of the members;
- spasms and cramps in the muscles;
- dizziness;
- weakness and loss of strength;
- Reducing muscle tone and sensitivity.
In men and women, the manifestations of lumbar osteochondrosis may vary.Men can have problems with power.Women usually suffer from pain in the pelvis.When a deformed column cannot completely support the back, uterus and appendages experience additional loads and sometimes move on a normal physiological position.
Varieties
The classification of lumbar spine osteochondrosis consists of several varieties of the disease.By the type of pain syndrome, they distinguish:
Lumbago.Acute symptom.It is expressed by clear bastards and the inability to move.It occurs with muscle cramps, lesions, hints of nerve discs and roots.
Lumbalgia.It is characterized by long -term painful pain caused by hernias, protrusions, spondylartrosses, ligaments and other musculoskeletal system disorders.
Sciatica.Powerful pain syndrome in the Lombsacro Department, Eldiri in the basin.The pain applies to the sciatic nerve, prevents the flexion and normal extension of the body, prevents me from sitting and standing without pain.
Discogenic lumbar osteochondrosis and radiculopathy are also distinguished.
Discogenic lumbar osteochondrosisIt is accompanied by a loss of sensitivity and numbness not only of back pain, but also of the legs, buttocks, hips and the bottom of the abdomen.Sometimes body temperature increases, weakness, urinary incontinence, the patient loses weight.
Radiculopathyexpressed by numbness of nerve roots and a decrease in human motor skills.Signs - tingling or pain from the bottom of the body, impaired reflexes, decreased muscle tone and limb joints.
Lumbar Osteochondrosis Development Stages
Doctors trace the dynamics of the pathology in four steps:
- First.Symptoms are almost invisible - they are diagnosed at an X root. The internship begins with pathological processes in the cavity purposely of the Overdred disc and fibrous ring microcucks.
- Second.The height of the intervertebral discs is reduced, which makes the vertebrae located closely.This causes sliding and displacement of vertebrae, which is accompanied by pain during movements.
- The third.It is characterized by stiffness, instability, dormancy of the body in the coccyx, the lower back and the sacred.This can be explained by protruding vertebrae, properties, joint displacements and arthrosis in the spine.
- Room.The most severe degree.The functions of the spine of the spine are impaired and bone (osteophyte) growths are formed.Growals can pinch nerves or damage the integrity of the vertebrae.
The consequences of lumbar osteochondrosis
- Excessive accumulation of salt in the body;
- development of hernia, protrusion, prolapse of vertebrae and discs;
- chronic radiculitis;
- Paresis and paralysis of the legs.
Diagnosis
Lumbar osteochondrosis and other disorders of the musculoskeletal system can diagnose orthopedist, osteopath, neurologist, rheumatologist, manual therapist and surgeon.It is possible to make a precise diagnosis later:
- X -ray of the spinal spine, which shows the condition of bone, cartilage and muscle tissues, as well as ligaments and tendons.
- Myelography - Studies of cephalorean liquid with dye.With your help, the nerve roots of the spinal cord are studied and evaluated.
For a more detailed examination, doctors use CT and magnetic resonance imaging.You may suffer diagnoses at the clinic.
