Osteochondrosis of the cervical spine - a person is not born with this diagnosis.He acquires this disease himself, as a result of his own inaction or thoughtless attitude, not caring about the protective muscle corset for the spine.But, very often it happens that as a result of improper action or classes inappropriate exercises and fitness, people themselves harm and destroy their own spine.
How does the osteochondrosyic department arise?
To many people, it is not even incident that without regular training, the neck muscles are weakening, like any other body muscles.If, for example, you completely stop walking, then the legs muscles atrophy after a while, and you cannot even stand on weak legs!The same thing happens with the muscles of the neck.
You can say: "How do not work the neck muscles if I sit at the computer (or driving) all day."That's right if we are constantly sitting, staring at the computer screen, or on the road, sitting behind the wheel of a car, the neck muscles are constantly tense.Because they have to hold a forced pose for a long time.By the end of the day, we feel that the neck was numb, and we cannot turn the neck, so the muscles are tired.But the problem is that only one muscle group works in this position.
Over time, this muscle group is hypertrophied, and those muscles that do not work are hypotrophot (that is, weaken).An uneven load on different muscle groups forms muscle imbalance - this is the difference in muscle strength.The muscle imbalance leads, firstly, to a bone of the bone structure of the cervical region, and secondly, the intervertebral cartilaginous discs experience uneven pressure.
Over time, both of these processes destroy the cartilaginous intervertebral discs and reduce their height.The muscles experiencing a constant excessive tension are spasmodic so that it becomes difficult for them to keep a smart, but heavy head in a direct position.The weight of the head and the complete absence of muscle protection and support at the cervical region create excessive pressure for the cartilage disks.This is happening for years, and sooner or later the margin of strength of the cartilaginous intervertebral discs ends.They lose their height and depreciation function and “Hello, osteochondrosis of the cervical spine”!
It used to be an old disease.Today, osteochondrosis is striking in the young generation due to a sedentary lifestyle and lack of concern for their own spine.
Osteochondrosis cannot be only in the cervical region, or only in the lumbar, although doctors make such diagnoses.After all, it is more profitable to treat: first the cervical region, then the chest, and then treat the lower back.
If you were diagnosed with osteochondrosis of the cervical spine, then you need to engage in the whole spine, since this is a single system from a continuous chain of small bones and many joints.And if the shape of the spine itself has changed and the shape of the cartilaginous discs in the cervical region has been deformed, then the load is redistributed and adjusting along the entire length of the bone chain, both down to the coccyx and up to the base of the skull.This means that cartilage disks suffer along the entire length of the spinal column.
Since we ourselves, or rather, our way of life, is the culprit of cervical osteochondrosis, we can only get rid of it by changing this lifestyle.And the motive for action should be your awareness of responsibility for maintaining your own spine.And believe me that it is never too late to do it.No matter how neglected your disease is, the human body is able to self -heal, provided that you do not interfere, but help him and create the necessary conditions for him.
Passive treatment of osteochondrosis - the path to nowhere!
Usually, in the form of help, doctors offer you quite expensive medicines, injections of anti -inflammatory and analgesic drugs, a massage course, manual therapy, advise buying various types of artificial corsets, bandages, postponers, etc.
In other words, they urgently push you along the path of passive treatment.And somewhere in the general list of recommendations, almost the last item, you can see the recommendation - strengthen the muscle corset.The ignorant and lazy person is very easy to direct along this path.
After all, you do not need to change yourself, change your attitude to your health, everything that is required of you is to regularly pay for these procedures, visit doctors and manuals, buy medicines.This does not require effort, but does not save you from cervical osteochondrosis.Rather, on the contrary.This leads to drug dependence, to the destruction of immunity and to aggravation of the disease.
I offer you a completely different way to combat osteochondrosis in the cervical spine.No need to treat cervical osteochondrosis, it is necessary to get rid of it forever, strengthening the muscle corset, engaged in therapeutic gymnastics, and thereby protect your spine from further destruction.
The muscle corset is a support and protection for the spine!
As I have already noted above, the recommendation is to strengthen the muscle corset, usually the doctors have somewhere at the end of the entire list, after tips, sitting correctly, buy a comfortable chair, an orthopedic mattress and a pillow.As a professional in therapeutic gymnastics, I argue that strengthening the muscles of the cervical spine should be in the very first place and the development of a complex of exercises for the treatment of the cervical spine should be engaged in a professional in this area.
Very often, having heard the doctor’s vague recommendation: “Strengthen the muscle corset”, patients begin to “pull iron” in the gym, are recorded on fitness in the general group.All this leads only to aggravation of problems with the spine.Fitness and simulators for healthy people, but not for those who already have a disease, especially in the thinnest and most vulnerable cervical spine.
I remind you that the spine consists of a single chain of small bones and many joints, so it, like a transformer, adapts to your habits, to your daily loads, to your lifestyle and features of your profession.
The bones of a person’s skeleton is a passive part, but our hands, legs and the whole body of skeletal muscles are moving - this is the active part of our body.It is the muscles that perform motor, supporting and protective functions!
If for several years you lived in the “work-house-work” mode, transplanting from the car chair to the working, then your skeletal muscles did not work.They weakened so much that they stopped protecting and holding your joints even with everyday load.
And if you bravely decided to give them an immediately increased load, then you act recklessly and risk even harming your spine.To restore muscle strength, elasticity of ligaments and lost joint mobility, it is necessary to safe and technically correct exercises of therapeutic gymnast.This takes time, regularity of training and faith in one's own strengths and forces.
To help those who decided to engage in the restoration of the cervical spine and the entire spine, I released a series of my professionally selected medical videos of exercises.They have special recommendations to perform exercises in a lightweight version.Namely, to start with a small number of exercises and with a small amplitude, perform exercises, in a safe position lying, at the full unloading of the spine.
What will happen, if not treated with cervical osteochondrosis?
I want to warn you that you can’t relate to cervical osteochondrosis, exclusively, only as a spinal disease.This is a very insidious and dangerous disease that can provoke even a stroke of brain.
This is how osteochondrosis progresses.With a decrease in the height of the intervertebral discs, the space is freed, and we get unstable “walking” vertebrae.Unstable vertebrae injure and destroy the articular surface in the intervertebral joints, particles of the destroyed cartilage are crumbling into the joint bag, and when turning the head, we hear rustling ... This is one of the signs of cervical osteochondrosis.
The vertebral displacement can infringe on the spinal nerves, which causes a person:
- pain in the neck;
- pain in the shoulder blade;
- pain in the shoulder and elbow joints;
- numbness of the fingers;
- Shattering in the gait.
All these symptoms, when infringing on the spinal nerves, lead to chronic diseases, complicate the person’s life and doom him to suffering, can even put a person in a wheelchair and deprive him of motor capabilities.But, these diseases are not fatal, a person will suffer and live long.
It is much more dangerous that the displaced cervical vertebrae squeeze the vertebral artery, which is located inside the bone structure of the neck, this causes infringement of blood flow to the brain.This is very dangerous.Due to oxygen starvation of brain cells, the following symptoms appear in humans:
- vision of vision;
- pressure surges in the absence of hypertension;
- failure in cardiac activity with a healthy heart;
- headaches and dizziness;
- panic attacks begin;
- There is a threat of a stroke!
All of these symptoms are not diseases!These are the consequences of cervical osteochondrosis, which caused mechanical compression of the cervical vertebral arteries.
Is it possible to cure cervical osteochondrosis?
If reply briefly: “Yes.Can".As a professional in exercise therapy, I am convinced that any person can fix this problem at any age!A young man under 35 years old can practically cure cervical osteochondrosis and completely recover.Older people can improve their cervical state, and can significantly reduce or eliminate the manifestations of these dangerous symptoms!For this, it is necessary to make your own efforts, namely:
- Finally, regularly engage in therapeutic gymnastics with a professional in exercise therapy;
- strengthen the skeletal muscles and form a muscle corset for the entire spine;
- pay special attention to the problem area - the cervical spine;
- Return the dedicated vertebrae to their native place and stabilize the spinal column.
Remember, regular training according to my author's methodology is guaranteed to help you:
- Eliminate mechanical compression of the vertebral arteries.
- Normalize blood flow to the brain.
- Completely get rid or vigilantly reduce the manifestations of dangerous symptoms listed above.
Hippocrates, who did not know how to write, said: "Eliminate the reason and the disease will leave!"
You only need to make a choice and understand that the only reliable condition for maintaining health is the regular training of the muscle apparatus serving your spine.
Exercises for osteochondrosis of the cervical spine
Friends!Do not lose precious time, do not wait for irreversible processes!
Find one holy hour a day for training, and your cervical department will be easy and proud to keep your smart head, and will never create problems for her!
Remember!A person with a healthy spine is easy to live!
Recommendations for congenital or abnormal diseases of the cervical region:
- People who already have scoliosis, kyphosis, kyphoscoliosis, I want to warn that their cervical osteochondrosis will become even faster than other people.
- It is dangerous for people who have crooked and subluxation of Atlanta to purchase cervical osteochondrosis, and it is necessary to start engaging in therapeutic exercises in advance!
- People who have an anomaly of Kimmerley or the anomaly of Arnold Kiary need to know and remember that the acquisition of cervical osteochondrosis is unacceptable, since a decrease in the height of cartilage discs is dangerous for their lives.Those who do not know about the presence of these anomalies they have, it is the cervical osteochondrosis that will reveal them.Those who know their diagnosis should begin to engage in therapeutic exercises in advance and prevent a decrease in the height of the discs and the acquisition of cervical osteochondrosis!
Remember, amateur performances are unacceptable here and randomly selected exercises are not suitable.
It is necessary to trust a professional who owns the laws of biomechanics, and who clearly demonstrates the technically correct performing exercises of therapeutic exercises.
Exercises for cervical osteochondrosis should be safe and performed slowly, without sudden movements and only in the lying position, at the full unloading of the spine.
Friends, regular workouts should be the basis of your good health, activity, high performance, and, ultimately, a great mood.
