So much has been said about osteochondrosis that there is probably nothing to add, although this topic is so relevant that it is probably worth writing something based on my own experience.Anyone who has encountered this disease will not confuse it with anything: sharp pains, limited neck mobility and constant discomfort are still not a complete description of osteochondrosis.
So, if this is familiar to you, in this material I will raise two topics: symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis and treatment at home.
What is cervical osteochondrosis and how to identify the first signs?
Since humanity “recovered”, the number of diseases has increased.These included not only hypertension, but also a number of diseases associated with the musculoskeletal system.This is understandable, because the load on the entire musculoskeletal structure has increased many times over.Osteochondrosis is the price to pay for “walking upright”.
Osteochondrosis is the compression of nerve roots by segments of the spine due to thinning and loss of elasticity of the intervertebral discs.As a rule, the reasons can be diverse, including a sedentary lifestyle and poor diet.
If this disease is not treated in time, it can lead to quite sad consequences.In the first stage, sharp pains, spasms in the muscles of the cervical region and even numbness of the limbs are observed when raising the arms above shoulder level behind the head.
Furthermore.Short-term and long-term headaches, dizziness and even sudden loss of consciousness when turning the head sharply are possible.
Where to start treating cervical osteochondrosis?
Of course, it would be a good idea to consult a doctor, at least to determine the stage of osteochondrosis, and only then try to be treated with medication or undergo home treatment with folk remedies.
Well, the doctor will talk about drug treatment and even prescribe pills, and I will share my personal experience, thanks to which many people, including me, completely got rid of all of the above symptoms.
Nutrition is the key to optimal health
Nutrition plays one of the most important roles in human life, as does the harmonious flow of all processes in the body.
The fact is that if you literally try to change your lifestyle for a month, starting with nutrition, natural immune modeling processes will begin in the body, thanks to which you can get rid of a huge number of diseases.
First, review your diet.If it contains a lot of fatty and fried foods, eliminate it completely or keep it to a minimum.Although, when you “shoot” in a way that “oh-oh-oh”, you immediately listen to my advice.
Try giving up flour or switching from light to dark baked goods.Black bread is the most useful.
Introduce dietary meat into your diet that contains a small amount of fat: white chicken, rabbit or boiled beef.Chew your food well as this helps your body digest and absorb it more quickly.Of course, introduce as many vegetables, fruits, herbs and herbal decoctions into your diet as possible.
You will be surprised at how many dishes you can prepare from vegetables that are absolutely in no way inferior to the “snacks” you are used to and at the same time have a beneficial effect on your overall well-being.
Gymnastics – there is no place for osteochondrosis in a healthy body!
For cervical osteochondrosis, it is recommended to do gymnastics, and it is important to note that the exercises can be done at any convenient time, lying down or sitting, the main thing is to do it as often as possible.
This will not only increase the flexibility of the entire cervical spine, but also normalize blood circulation, which, in turn, will have a positive effect on the process of eliminating the disease.
In fact, the keyword when doing gymnastics to treat osteochondrosis is regularity, and what exactly you do is no longer so important.Tilt your head left and right, forward and back, make a circle with your head and simply roll your neck.
Self-massage, which can accompany exercises, will not be superfluous, which will enhance the healing effect.Mustard plasters and special pain relief ointments are also great for osteochondrosis.Let me remind you once again that the main thing is regularity.If after 2-3 days there is no visible effect, you should not stop following my recommendations.
In fact, if you suspect osteochondrosis, even after all the symptoms disappear, you should not stop leading a healthy lifestyle.Now proper nutrition and an active lifestyle are your new way of life.
And one more thing, do not forget that you are the closest person to you, so be bolder in showing love for yourself and your body, which, responding to positive emotions, will surprise you in return in the form of excellent health.
