Osteochondrosis is a very common disease of the spine with a tendency to "rejuvenate". Exactly: if earlier this disease arose not earlier than 35 years of age, today there have become more frequent cases of complaints from people who have barely reached adulthood. Of all the types of osteochondrosis (cervical, thoracic, sacral, lumbar), the first is perhaps the most unpleasant and harmful, because it directly disturbs brain nutrition and contributes to a sharp deterioration of mental abilities.
Treatment
Of course, when the pain is unbearable, the patient is prescribed painkillers, but we must remember that it will not be possible to cure with a magic tablet. With cervical osteochondrosis, exercises are needed that also act as analgesics.
Exercises for the treatment of cervical osteochondrosis are prescribed even during periods of acute pain, while the patient should minimize the load on the spine outside the exercises. After all, often the cause of osteochondrosis is the lifting of heavy weight, wearing heavy weight in an uncomfortable position, professional sports, as well as a sharp departure from it.
In addition, one must remember the most "modern" causes of osteochondrosis: hypodynamia, high heels, overweight and impaired metabolism .
Exercises
We bring to your attention a set of exercises for cervical osteochondrosis.
- IP - lying on a flat surface, under the neck we put a roller. You should roll your head over the roller. This is an effective exercise for cervical osteochondrosis, which relieves the pain syndrome, and you can perform it as much as you like in your pleasure. At this time, the spine is moving, and the muscles are completely relaxed, thereby increasing the power of the damaged discs.
- Next, we perform physical exercise with cervical osteochondrosis, which is used both for treatment and for the prevention of the disease. We perform sitting, head incline forward, we do not lower our eyes. The essence of the exercise is to do "poddakivaniya", easily tilting and lifting his head.
- Further we imagine that we are saying "no-no". We turn the head to the left and to the right.
- In particularly difficult cases, use the exercise "ay-ay". The amplitude of the exercise should be very small, we perform easy swaying of the head.
If you do these exercises once a day - healing will have to wait a very long time. But if you are not too lazy to perform such gymnastics every hour for five minutes - the pain will soon pass, and then the intervertebral disks will be restored.
