Osteochondrosis of the lumbar region of the spine , in addition to the common illness. Equally lumbar osteochondrosis affected as much as the homes of the women. Many people are familiar with back pain. At least once, everyone started to feel the manifestations of degenerative disease of lumbar disc causing pain in the sacrum, loins or lower extremities, usually called a "pinched nerve in the back."
Causes of degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine
It is considered that the main cause of degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine in the upright posture. However, the sense of precipitating factors inactivity as the physics of the violations of metabolic processes in the body, the disease should not be on. Also degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine can be caused by excess weight, heavy lifting and other reasons.
The main source of pain in the area of osteochondrosis lumbar spine pinched and the nerve roots that occurs a cause of the of the narrowing intervertebral gap and the appearance of prolapse (intervertebral disc output). These changes may occur because of a loss of power, violations of metabolic processes in the tissues of intervertebral discs, leading to a gradual decline and levelling off of the core nucleus pulposus disc and reduce the filler.
In the process of development of osteochondrosis of the lumbar region of the spine becomes more significant pumping of the disk, leading initially to the formacio of the protrusion, and original works of art in the formacio hernia a cause of the rupture of the ring fibrous that contains the content " of the CD in place.
Emerging from the un pinched spinal nerve in the presence of degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine causes pain called sciatica.
Sciatica occurs when the pain is accompanied by numbness of the lower extremities. Depending on the location and the nature of them can be divided in lumbago and sciatica. The un pinched nerve When it occurs its inflammation, we are talking about sciatica. Treatment of sciatica with pain drugs (ointments) and symptomatic and essentially, and not you, because the cause of the disease - dystrophic processes in the tissues of intervertebral disks - no effect. To eliminate the pain of evitar complications and degenerative lumbar disk disease requires the use of complex therapeutic effects to improve the progressive regeneration of tissues, disks, restore the normalitat'height of the intervertebral discs and the normalisation of parameters, their physiological.
Due to the fact that this area has a significant burden, osteochondrosis of the lumbar region of the spine can lead to complications, such as hernias and emergencies that have a large spread and develop very quickly. Therefore, at the beginning of treatment of the disease a particularly important. And because when symptoms persist, degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine, for the first time, do not have to look doubt for a medical assistance and submit to a complete evaluation.
The symptoms of degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine
Compression nerve roots from spinal disc herniation for the space of osteochondrosis epidural in the lumbar region of the spine
Epidural space and a space for the cord and roots. The symptoms of lumbar osteochondrosis correspond to the affected un segment of the spine.
- Submarine of the roots of L1, L2 with degenerative lumbar disc causes disease severe pain radicular and deterioration of sensitivity in the area of the so-called "pilot pants" - in the upper third of the internal face of the thigh area and the groin. In case of complications of lumbar osteochondrosis development of a hernia, RM-a language of signs which, and the posterior or posterior-lateral location, the pain occurs in both legs.
- Submarine of the spine L5 lumbar osteochondrosis leads to a decrease in the sensitivity, serious, learning, stabbing in the lower part of the back and s radiate to your thumb, and in some cases, reduce the power extender of the thumb.
- Defeat with the root S1 lumbar osteochondrosis s express shooting back pain and the reduction of the sensitivity of the outer surface of the femur and tibia, and at the foot of the little finger and the fourth finger. With the submarine of S1 there is a loss of plantar and Achilles reflexes.
Lose Depro artery of Gotteron
Submarine With the artery Depro-gotteron of the symptoms of degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine similar to the symptoms of myelogenous and Kautokeino "intermittent claudication". With chronic low back pain in the lumbar region of the spine can cause paralysis buttocks of les and legs, loss of sensation in the region anogenital. Losing extra artery that comes out with the root L5 or S, can lead to the development of the syndrome of "crippling sciatica" (unilateral or bilateral) and loss of motor and pelvic functions.
Compression-vascular ischaemia (malaisamy) in osteochondrosis of the lumbar region of the spine
Osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine may receive compression-vascular ischaemia (malaisamy), that a violation of the blood supply of the spinal cord, their peripheral structures because of the reduction of the intervertebral holes through which the arteries and blood vessels. Due to This, the un of clubs flattening (disminució'height of his), abnormal, excessive mobility of the spine in a weak ligament, with the formacio of neoarthrosis and osteophytes. Any of the movements of the spine, affecting the damaged segment, causing additional compression and trauma to the clamped vessel or artery. In addition, it may be un, a reflection of the contraction of the vessel, which passes through a compression of the hole of the spinal canal and the effect of the "narrow bed".
Compressive myelopathy
Compressive myelopathy and a lesion of the spinal cord caused by the reduction of the for some reason the spinal canal. The severity of the injury and its symptoms depend on the location of the injury. In the majority of cases, the symptoms and course of the disease are episodic nature, for another attack should the remission.
The symptoms of degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine, which is a complicated by the development of a herniated disc TXII-LI, causing the submarine of the segments L2-L4, S1-S2 spinal cord (syndrome epigonus): pain lumbar region in the back of the thighs, calves and weakness in the legs. The development of the hypotension and hypotrophy gluteal and calf muscles, paresis of the foot, loss of plantar and Achilles reflexes. Sensitivity posteroexternal surface of the leg and the foot is low or absent.
The symptoms of the disease degenerative lumbar disc with herniated disc LI-II compression coccygeal segment S3 syndrome (con): the main clinical manifestations include disturbance serious of the pelvic organs, such as urinary incontinence and fecal incontinence, intermittent with constipation, reduction or loss of sensitivity in the region anogenital, rapid development of bedsores, loss of the anal reflex.
Osteochondrosis of the lumbar region of the spine, which offers a to the complicated compression or damage to nerve roots of the spinal cord from the first lumbar, and lower than, the development of a disease called "cauda equina syndrome". It should be noted that this condition is prone, one more to the people who have the un initially congenital narrow spinal canal.
The so-called "ponytail" and bundle un of the nerve roots end of the spinal cord, starting from the first segment back and down. The name of the package received, due to the similarity of the like a ponytail. When a diagnosis of cauda equina syndrome role in a role more symptoms of current in the presence of the painful sharp pain radicular nature. The cauda equina and different from the syndrome of the cone that can not be severe pain.
Unbearable and intense pain in the lumbar region and the sacrum, radiating to the buttock, posteroexternal on the surface of the thighs, in the region anogenital. Marked in different degrees of disorders of the peripheral type of pelvis, the functions, there is a lack of sensitivity in the form of tires, peripheral paralysis and paresis. In the most severe cases, paralyzed be the buttocks and the legs. Characteristic clinical features include asymmetry of motor and sensory disorders.
The symptoms of degenerative lumbar disc disease are manifested depending on the location of the injury
Osteochondrosis of the lumbar region of the spine can cause the development of the syndrome myelogenous "intermittent claudication". In this case, the lack of supply of blood to the lower part of the spinal cord is manifested by a weakness feeling in my legs when walking, numbness of the lower part of the torso, the need to urinate. There is No pain in the legs. These symptoms lumbar osteochondrosis disappear in the rest.
Yudovina "intermittent claudication", occurs when ischemia of the roots of the cauda equina: felt tingling and chills when walking, anemia, peripheral parts of the legs, a little a little these symptoms of lumbar osteochondrosis increase the top, grab the groin, perineum, genitals. There is a weakness in the legs. The un small break leads to the rapid disappearance of the symptoms.
For a lumbar osteochondrosis and complicated by the compression of the artery of a Adamkewicz that occurs when weight lifting, improper movement of agitation, and is manifested clinically by paralysis severity of diverse (from the surface up to a complete loss of sensitivity), disorders of organs, pelvic (incontinence of urine and feces), atrophy of the muscles of the legs of the rapid appearance of bedsores.
Manifestations of osteochondrosis of the lumbar region of the spine
Manifested degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine pain and dull pain in the lower back outside the period of exacerbation. It can worsen The pain because of the prolonged stay in an awkward position or stress. When a position recumbent the pain is reduced or disappears.
Stress for situations the organism, for example, a high loads, hypothermia, and even unexpected, osteochondrosis movements of the lumbar region of the spine of the pot ex: in the acute phase. Acute stage is characterized by severe pain that can be translated not only in the lumbar region of the spine, but also spread to the lower extremities. Also you may experience tension of the muscles of the waist, so the body tries to reduce the burden of disease in the patients spine. The patient with lumbar osteochondrosis in the acute phase often has to find a position on the pain and weakening, and try to keep it this way.
Anatomically osteochondrosis of the lumbar region of the spine, in the conversion of cartilage into the bone and overgrowth, giving rise to a bone tissue, compress starts at the root s net nerve from the spinal cord, causing pain. The reason for this growth of bone tissue and malnutrition of the intervertebrals the clubs, which leads to a lack of liquid and an interruption occur in the operation and the structure.
Treatment of degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine
Osteochondrosis of the lumbar region of the spine, a disease that requires long, intensive, comprehensive treatment of. Particularly true That, if a in advanced cases, in which there are multiple protrusion or intervertebral hernia.
Thanks reflex techniques, you treatment of degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine can be carried out with the maximum benefit without side effects. But you need to remember that this serious problem can not be solved quickly. In all cases of lumbar osteochondrosis s assigned strictly individual treatment.
The basis of the treatment with osteochondrosis of the lumbar region of the spine are acupuncture, Moxa-therapy, vacuum therapy, pharmacopuncture, smooth, and techniques of therapy manual. These treatments combined offer the possibility of restoring the normal circulation of the blood and stagnation, eliminate in the region of the lumbar, vascular edema and muscle spasms, restoring the balance of metabolic processes in the tissues of intervertebral discs, the improvement of their nutrition. Therefore, it starts and s stimulates the process of natural regeneration. It should be noted that the course in manual therapy in lumbar osteochondrosis can only be directed to the improvement of the function of the spine, as well as the replacement of the disc may not be considered.
Application of procedures for the treatment of degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine complete the reception of remedies in a base of herbs that can improve the balance of processes and the metabolic and nerve supply in the body. In addition, the correction power required and an active lifestyle. In the treatment of degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine and important, the correction of body weight, since excess weight put extra strain on the lower back serves me as a husband, as a factor in the development of compounds osteochondrosis.
Great experience in the treatment of degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine, accumulated: the practice in the long term, in the majority of cases, significant results can be obtained that are sufficiently persistent prevents the surgery, eliminates back pain, improves locomotor activity, and not only complex care of the lumbar region, but all over the body.
In general, to achieve the un positive effect of the treatment of 10 to 15 treatment sessions. Acute pain on a goes from 1 to 3 sessions.
We must not forget that as soon as possible the treatment of degenerative disc disease, the faster you can achieve positive results!
