Treatment of osteochondrosis

Physical rehabilitation of patients with damage to the ligamentous apparatus of the spine

Damage to the ligamentous apparatus of the spine leads to the formation of pain sources in different structures of the musculoskeletal system, or more precisely, sources of nociception.

Physiotherapy for osteochondrosis of the lumbosacral spine

A decisive role in the treatment of spine osteochondrosis belongs to the cessation of loads along the axis of the spine and to ensure rest for the affected disc. The patient should lie on his back, a small pillow should be placed under his head. In the case of neuralgia of the sciatic nerve, the patient is laid with the legs bent in the hip and knee joints in order to maximally relax the muscles of the limb and unload the tensioned nerve sheath.

Stretching of muscles with osteochondrosis of the lumbosacral spine

This methodical technique is recommended to be introduced into the massage procedure immediately after the preparation of the appropriate muscle with massage techniques (stroking, rubbing, kneading and vibration).

Massage with osteochondrosis of the lumbosacral spine

Massage plan: impact on the paravertebral zones of the sacrum, lumbar and lower thoracic spinal segments (S3-S1 L5-L4, Th12-Th11). The massage is performed in the area of the gluteus muscles, the sacrum area, the crests of the iliac bones.

Physiotherapy with cervical osteochondrosis

Developing a special method of therapeutic gymnastics (LH) for various syndromes of cervical osteochondrosis should be based on the following considerations. Treatment of cervical osteochondrosis must first of all be pathogenetic, i.e. Aimed at eliminating the root cause of the disease, rather than symptomatic.

Stretching of muscles with cervical osteochondrosis

Acupressure for osteochondrosis of the spine

Point massage is prescribed from the first days of the disease; begin with distant reflexogenic zones. Massage of painful zones is carried out after the abating of sharp painful sensations.

Reflex-segmental massage for osteochondrosis of the spine

They always start with the development of paravertebral zones, first they massage the caudal zones and only then eliminate the changes in the cranial zones. After the development of segmental roots, the zones from the periphery to the spine are massaged, and the extremities from the distal to the proximal parts.

Connective tissue massage for osteochondrosis of the spine

Massage of paravertebral tissues. Massage is performed by short movements from the medial edge of the muscle, straightening the spine, towards the cranial areas; Massage is performed using subcutaneous or fascial technique at the lateral margin of the muscle;

Treatment of osteochondrosis: muscle stretching

The muscle, which contains active trigger points (TT), is functionally shortened and weakened. When trying to passively stretch it, pain occurs. The limit of passive stretching of the muscle, the nose of which does not cause pain, can be determined with differentiated samples.
