Lumbar spinal osteochondrosis

Lumbar spinal osteochondrosis is a disease that is a special form of damage to the spine. Patients with such diseases complain of fatigue, back pain, legs, which cause motor activity. With osteochondrosis, there is a deformation of the intervertebral disc, there is a decrease in height, the disruption and coracoid of vertebral growth. When diagnosing radiography, the release is clear.

Cartilaginus tissue deformation during the development of osteochondrosis is a complex process, including biochemical and vascular changes. First of all, the fibrous ring is destroyed, as a result the pulp is introduced into it. As a result, the fibrous ring was torn and the disc hernia was formed. In this case, the lower and lower shining segments are subject to the highest load. Disc hernia, squeezing the spinal cord or its roots, is the cause of back pain, which reacts to the feet.

The most powerful sciatic nerve in the human body is formed by the spinal cord sacred root. They, as well as lower lovers, are shocked by osteochondrosis. From the Latin names of sciatic nerves, in relation to this, the second name of the disease is formed - Ishias.

Due to the violation of cartilage structure, the intervertebral disc, which is a special cartilage structure, can no longer fully fulfill all of their functions. This leads to loss of flexibility and spinal mobility. The processes, which in the early stages of the disease only affect the intervertebral disc, gradually apply to the vertebra itself.

Radicolite discogenic, considered one of the most common symptoms of osteochondrosis, found in almost every fifth person older than 30 in the world. Risk, people of work are at risk. Osteochondrosis prevents the ability to engage in active activities and often causes defects.

Symptoms of lumbar osteochondrosis

The main symptom of lumbar osteochondrosis is severe back pain. However, in addition to this sign, there are some others. Therefore, patients suffering from the disease quickly, complain about headaches, fatigue and irritation. The back discomfort does not allow you to choose an easy position to sleep, so the body cannot fully rest and recover after the end of the day. Loss of strength forces the patient to minimize physical activity and prevent pain. This leads to the fact that over time he is unable to take simple action, for example, to provide his own household needs.

Problems in the work of the genitourinary system can also be one of the symptoms of lumbar osteochondrosis. They appear in the form of pain in the kidney area. In patients with osteochondrosis, disturbed urination, unexpected occurrence of discomfort is possible. This leads to vertebral instability, which is caused by deformation not prescribed by the intervertebral disc. The burden on the spinal cord causes the lumbar department's displacement from the sacrum when the team's gravity is exposed to it. Such a process leads to damage to the internal organs, problems in their work. In women, the ovaries, complements and uterus are most commonly suffered, and the potential is disturbed in men.

Osteochondrosis is characterized by increased foot sensitivity, including stopping, hips and lower legs. They are cramps that can lead to losing pulse. The skin of patients with osteochondrosis in the feet is very dry, peeling and covered with goosebumps in the discomfort area. During pain, sweating is interrupted.

All symptoms of osteochondrosis can be classified into the following groups:

Rook Syndrome

Deplicity of the intervertebral disc leads to the loss of stability vertebrae. Once they become mobile, they begin to become disrupted and squeeze the blood vessels and nerve roots with sharp movements and heavy physical energy. This process minimizes pain in the lumbar region, but they continue with a renewed spirit in which the nerves are compressed. Pain is acute and drilling. The most uncomfortable is expressed on the lower leg, thighs, feet and buttocks. The unpleasant sensation makes the patient change the style of walking, leaning across the nerve.

When the nerve roots are threatened for a long time, their inflammation, swelling, vein stagnation and intoxication occur. Pain occurs for the muscles, ligaments. It is worse at the time of physical activity, especially if it is carried out without warmth immediately after sleep or rest. Pain is often accompanied by increased sweating, which replaces the feeling of chills.

Manifestations of radicular syndrome also include tingling, numbness and loss of sensitivity. Muscles --otot loss of their tone, so patients cannot withstand long physical activity, for example, down and lift the stairs, get tired quickly. The pelvic function is interrupted in cases of severe severe. In this case, although the paralysis occurs and the paresis is possible.

Ischemic syndrome

Near the nerve roots are blood vessels, which are compressed during deformation. In the first stage of the development of osteochondrosis, the artery is squeezed periodically, but then the cramps have a permanent character. In this case, "Lome Causes" occurs, patients must often stop and rest on foot.

The cover of blood vessels leads to the fact that the pelvic organs do not receive the necessary nutrients. This causes pain in the hips, perineum, on the back until their paralysis.

Vertebrate syndrome

Under the influence of pain, ischemic and radicular syndrome, the skeleton of patients with defective osteochondrosis. A person starts to bend, he has a pelvis and a spinal cord, a weakening muscle, an atrophy. All of these changes affect Gait, which is adjusted depending on the area of pain, becoming tense and unpredictable. Gradually, the entire musculoskeletal system is exposed to osteochondrosis, and the intervertebral disc continues to collapse.

Pain syndrome (pain with lumbar osteochondrosis)

The unpleasant sensation and discomfort in the back are the main symptoms for osteochondrosis. The nature and strength of the change in pain depends on the level of development of the disease.

Initially, it was only felt in the lumbar region at the time of increased joints, muscles and ligaments, that is, during physical work. It may also be painful. But with the development of osteochondrosis, acute pain or shift occurs even with sneezing, cough.

Palppation, as a rule, allows you to determine the seal in the muscle. Pain attacks can last for several days, and all the time the patient needs to observe sleep to minimize unpleasant sensations in the back. Any sharp movement, heavy lifting causes discomfort.

Causes of lumbar osteochondrosis

The following main causes for the development of lumbar osteochondrosis are distinguished:

1. Uneven load on the spine. According to experts, osteochondrosis is a characteristic of a person as a biological species, as it is largely caused by a lifestyle and directly. The need to maintain the body's position in a certain position requires continuous tension of the musculoskeletal system. The optimum load on the spine will be in a standing position. In a position to lie behind, it is minimal, on the side - a little more. But in a sitting position, the load on the lumbar spine increases significantly. The body's forward tilt creates an additional voltage for the front edge of the vertebra and spinal column. Therefore, it is recommended to periodically change the body's position, giving the muscles to relax and divert the load on the spine, and hold the back straight.
2. Hypodynamia. Inactivity lifestyle, car use and public transport, spend a lot of time for computers and TVs - all of which contribute to the development of problems with the spine, including osteochondrosis. Most population is less in motor activity. The passive lifestyle leads to the fact that the musculoskeletal system weakens. In sitting position, the spine is subject to maximum load, this is the cause of the deformation of cartilage tissue, and as a result, osteochondrosis in the lumbar region. Therefore, it is very important to get up regularly and do a set of exercises. When one spends most of the time in a crooked position, the bending muscles stretch and lose their tone.
3. Excessive physical activity. Increased motor activity, such as its weaknesses, can also cause osteochondrosis. Back pain is often worried about athletes involved in heavy sports. The sport requires weight loss, which creates additional tension to the back muscles and creates the formation of intervertebral hernia.
4. Incorrect posture. In the curved position of the spine, the load on it is distributed unevenly, and this leads to the deformation of the intervertebral disc. The same influence is influenced by improper walking. People and parents fall on risk groups, from time to time, intervertebral discs become less elastic, lose their mobility and more easily damage.

5. Bone system defects and genetic tendencies, injuries and infectious diseases. As a rule, osteochondrosis causes congenital problems with the musculoskeletal system. In addition, the cause of the disease can be a natural fragility of the cartilage. Osteochondrosis also develops as a complication after various damage to the spine, osteomyelitis, tuberculosis.
6. Flat feet. In patients suffering from flat feet, the set of feet does not perform depreciation function, as is in normal condition. Therefore, when moving, the entire load is taken on the intervertebral disc, as a result of their quick wear.
7. Excessive weight. Extra pounds are an additional source of load in the heart and bone muscle system, including the spine. According to statistics, overweight people are more vulnerable to various diseases.
8. The process of inflammation in the body. The development of osteochondrosis is facilitated by factors such as hormone changes, problems with spinal joints, for example, rheumatoid arthritis, affected endocrine, digestion and cardiovascular system.
9. Live. Many patients do not pay attention to their health: they move a little, not get enough sleep, eat incorrectly. This leads to increased fatigue, violations of the psycho -anemotional, stress. All of this makes the body very exposed and contributes to the development of lumbar osteochondrosis.

Degrees of lumbar osteochondrosis

There are 4 degrees of lumbar osteochondrosis:

1. The cracks appear in the fibrous ring, which is filled with material from the jet nucleus, which causes irritation. At this stage, the deformation of the intervertebral disc is not well stated and manifests itself in the form of reflex symptoms. Patients can complain about pain in the heart, lower back. Behind the cause of discomfort, sharp movements, weight lifting becomes. Depending on the character, 2 types of pain are distinguished: lumbalia and lumbago. In the first case, it is stable, and in the second it occurs suddenly;

2. The destruction of the fibrous ring continues. However, there is a reduction in the gap between the vertebrae, the nerve endings are pinched. At this stage, the phenomenon as pseudospondylolisthesis in the lumbar region is characteristic. This is the name of the vertebral displacement process relative to each other, leading to pinching the nerve endings and causing pain. The spine is characterized by incredible mobility. With osteochondrosis of the 2nd, the patient complains of discomfort in the back, in the lumbar region, heat and cold are felt alternately. Pain is indicated by seizures, where goosebumps appear on the skin and intensified;
3. The fibrous rings are finally torn, and the jacket nucleus is squeezed outside. Interteverebral hernia appears. The red nucleus to the spinal canal area causes the vessels and the spinal cord.

   Spinal deformation is formed by lordosis, kyphosis or scoliosis. With lordosis, the spine is changed forward. Violation of its normal position greatly complicates the work of the internal organs and their systems. With kyphosis, the upper spine is curved, and the sensation of bending in cases of extension occurs. Side curvature is shown in the form of scoliosis. When patients suffering from osteochondrosis with spinal curvature lean forward, asymmetry becomes significantly thanks to the prominent blade or rib;

4. The last stage of osteochondrosis is the most dangerous, as the spine is eventually defective, which makes the motor activity impossible. Bone growth is significant in radiography. Although the pain does not disturb the patient for some time, this does not show an improvement. 4 degrees osteochondrosis most often ends with defects.
