Lumbar osteochondrosis is one of the most common diseases of humanity, they also face this diagnosis of men and women. This disease is damage to the cartilaginous tissue of the entire spine, intervertebral discs in the Lombsacro and Sacral department, most of the time people after 30 years enter the risk zone, but with a physical work with a large load on the back, they can find a problem and very young individuals.
Will we analyze what are the causes of this disease, how dangerous is and which treatment methods exist?
The causes of lumbar osteochondrosis
- Excessive spine load, heavy physical work, weightlifting, including playing sports in the salon.
- Overweight, due to which pressure and load throughout the vertebra column increase.
- A sedentary and sedentary lifestyle, as a result, weakens tissues between cartilaginous discs and blood circulation decreases.
- The irregularity of the posture, congenital or acquired due to the inadequate position of the back during the session, bent in one direction.
- Injuries, bruises, during sports, weight lifting, etc.
- Genetic predisposition.
- Age -related changes with which mobility and elasticity of the spine spine are lost.
- Inflammation of the column joints, arthritis, scoliosis with disc displacement.
- Hypothermia, stressful situations, unbalanced work and recreation.
Lumbar osteochondrosity
4 of the main stages of the disease are distinguished, gradually from an easier complicated degree, we will analyze each one of them.
1 degree
Light pain in the vertebra, which intensifies after physical exertion, is manifested by stupid, muffled and tingling pain in the back and buttocks, can worry about a short time.
2 degree
The distance between the vertebrae is reduced, the fibrous ring and all surrounding tissues begin to collapse, nerve roots are squeezed. The pain in this phase becomes clearer and more tangible, surrendered when walking to the buttocks, thigh and leg. With an attack, a person experiences relief when folding in the opposite direction, ie the back, the pain can cause a strong burning sensation or the opposite of the cold in an affected area.
3 degrees
Fiber rings are usually completely destroyed as a result of which intervertebral hernias appear. Lumbar vertebra tissues are deformed, pain is almost constantly, whose intensity depends on the presence or absence of physical effort.
4 degrees
The pathological nature of lumbar vertebrae occurs, cartilage is stunted, which leads to problems when moving. Pain decreases for a short time, but after that it can manifest itself in a higher and greater intensity place as a result, it may be loss of flexibility, mobility and disability development.
Symptoms of Lumbar Osteochondrosis
Pain
In 98% of cases, in this disease, pain occurs, the lumbar area hurts directly and can be given to the buttocks, the leg through the sciatic nerve landscape. Pain can be moderate and increase by changing body position, sudden movements, clear curves, and when the body is tilted forward, a person simply does not loose, when lifting a heavy object, can also close in a position and bastards in the lower back will begin.
With this disease, depending on the degree, the pain may appear even with the vibration of the body while driving in transportation, sneezing, cough or deep breathing.
Feeling of tension
The sensation of tension occurs markedly and disappears in the same way that this happens more often in the flexion and extension process, the reason for this manifestation is explained by the fact that a nervous and irritated spine changes from bone processes.
Interrupted sensitivity
As a rule, changes in sensitivity occur precisely in the area of lesion, without touching the cross parts of the body. These changes can be observed:
- Hyperesthesia (increase, increased sensitivity);
- Hypesthesia or anesthesia (reduced sensitivity);
- Paresthesia (a prolonged sensation of goose bumps or tingling such as injections).
Changes in sensitivity, usually occur in a certain small strip in the focus of inflammation and can last from 5 minutes to several hours.
Reduced motor activity
With varying degrees, mobility is affected by muscle atrophy, which can simply weaken movements or lead to complete paralysis. At the same time, motor activity will deteriorate in a specific location location, where the muscles have been injured, the parts that accompany the body will not suffer.
Violations of autonomic function
It does not always arise, more often this occurs with cervical osteochondrosis. Lumbar osteochondrosis causes a decrease in blood circulation at the lower ends, as a result, the legs are always cold and the skin as a whole is pale. In addition, at risk, the bladder may also fall into the risk zone, with internal pressure (compression) in the horse's tail fibers, there is the possibility of developing acute urinary incontinence, or the opposite of its delay is opposite.
Less commonly, a feeling of cold can be observed in the body, despite the fact that the temperature is reduced, excessive perspiration, with a more complicated form, there may be sexual dysfunction in men and the complete absence of libido and intimate lubrication in women.
In men, all symptoms described are more often and more intensely, due to the fact that they most severely, physical work, increase more weights and therefore give a large load on the back; Therefore, the stage of development of disease from one stage to another, they are a faster order of magnitude.
Complications with lumbar osteochondrosis
- Inflammation of the sciatic nerve, Ishias.
- The degree and velocity of disk destruction between the vertebrae increases, the column curvature becomes as pronounced as possible.
- The unstable position of the vertebra, when the disk ceases to fix it completely and from the lower back in any load, even light, "slides" from the site, the sacred. As a result, the operation and work of the internal organs of the genitourinary system are impaired. In men, this leads to power, in women with severe inflammation of the uterus, ovaries and appendages.
- The appearance of hernias and inflammatory processes between different vertebral segments.
