So let's try to figure out what to do to a patient with a diagnosis of "intervertebral hernia?"
1. period of acute pain in the back, neck and / or back, when the MRI shows herniation with spinal cord compression (or his spine), and attending neurologist says conductor violations patient (motor or sensitive type).
At this stage of the task to relieve pain, as well as the reduction or complete removal of the possible swelling (which will remove the compression of nerves and restore their power).
Usually, the doctor prescribes the patient:
- neuroorthopedic treatment for patients with spinal area (restriction of movement: not to bend and squat; Do not turn the neck, do not reach for objects and bring them closer to themselves, etc.);
- wearing a corset for muscle discharge;
- a course of physiotherapy: spine hood (including water), magnetic and others;
- the blockade (procaine) affected area;
- a course of drugs in the complex: anti-inflammatory drugs + vitamins + tools + vascular muscle relaxants (drugs which reduce muscle tone).
However, all of the above - only symptomatic treatment. The disease at the same time nothing is done, it is removed only its symptoms. The reasons that led to a hernia, and even saved multiplied by the day. And the thing - in the same neuroorthopedic mode. Doctors prescribe it in the acute phase and the patient learns: "If you want to hurt less, move less." You can continue to undergo cure every 3-6 months, so wear a belt of dog hair.
But this is not so! However, active treatment course is only possible after the acute phase of the disease has passed.
2. Mild period. The challenge at this time is different: you need to restore the normal functioning of the mechanism of the spine and joints. It must be done, otherwise the year there will be new hernia and complicated topics.
Remember:intervertebral hernia - this is not the flu. It can not "recover". Our spine is made up of 48 of the facet joints, symphysis 23, 48 edge-vertebral joints and two large - sacroiliac. And in each of them must be a full volume of anatomical movements. "Switching off" of one leads to an overload of another joint, which ultimately hurts and it. ⠀
What, then, is the proper treatment? It is in motion. But not in any. Necessary movements that gently at the beginning and then actively "stir up" the spine and large joints of the human body. What specifically? Let's talk about this in the next article?
