On the technique of Dr. Benditsky on the removal of bones on his legs without surgery there are many rumors. According to one of the reviews, this doctor simply works miracles, removing the bones on the foot without surgery. According to other reviews, his specialists are engaged in charlatanism. In order to decide on non-surgical methods of affecting the bones of Benditsky, the reader must decide for himself the priorities. And get acquainted with the essence of this technique

The essence of Benditsky's method

Igor Eduardovich Benditsky is a manual therapist, traumatologist-orthopedist, who has been treating valgus deviation of the big toe for more than 20 years. Or, as they say, people have bones on their feet or bumps on their legs. Benditsky believes that with valgus deformity of the toe, first of all, it is necessary to restore the optimal load on the foot. And this load should vary depending on the position of the foot - the person is working hard with his feet or, conversely, resting.

This determines which individual foot correction program will be developed for the patient. The course of foot healing according to Benditsky's method is on average two to seven months. During this time, the position of the foot, correction of the load is controlled by the doctor approximately every week.

The peculiarity of such treatment, according to Benditsky, is that by restoring gradually the position of the foot, a person rebuilds and works the entire musculoskeletal system. In addition, this method guarantees the absence of traumatism (surgery is not) and the occurrence of relapses.

More about the Benditsky method

At the heart of this method is not only a gradual correction of the foot, but an integrated approach to treatment. This approach involves the restoration of the center of gravity for the whole organism, and not just for the feet. First, doctors detect pockets of violations of the center of gravity of the entire musculoskeletal system, corrects the biomechanics of the body and feet in particular.

Then the person is recommended certain poses, a load on the spine, legs, special attention is paid to the load of the joints of the foot. Of course, the most careful attention is paid to the biomechanics of the big toe - the culprit for the appearance of cones (bones). The essence of this approach is to increase the useful foot area on which it relies. The larger the footprint - the stronger and more stable the support itself.

With flatfoot, which causes deformation of the big toe and the appearance of bones on it, a strong support is impossible - the area of the foot support decreases significantly, and the center of gravity shifts. This leads not only to deformation of the foot and toes, but also to injuries during movement, sprain and joints. If in the process of manual therapy and special exercises this flat foot is removed, then the problems with the bones on the legs will be much less.

Why and how does the foot suffer from overload?

Why and how does the foot suffer from overload?

According to Benditsky, the root cause of valgus deformity of the first toe is an incorrect load on the spine, which makes the entire body take a rightful position. According to the estimates of physiologists, the fulcrum of the whole body of a man is in the sacrum. And, as soon as a person overloads (as a result of physical work or, conversely, constant stress due to prolonged sitting), the point of support in the sacral part of the spine shifts and passes to other parts of the body - hip joints, ankle, knees.

For this reason, the load on the different parts of the foot is also incorrect. This load, first of all, falls on fragile small joints. They can not stand the weight of the body, the foot loses its support during the walk, tries to find this support, it traumatizes, and this leads to its deformation.

First of all, valgus deformity of the thumb of the foot, and in common people - leads to lumps on the leg or bones. At the same time, various diseases of the joints, muscles and bone tissue further aggravate the growth of the bones and pain in this region. Incorrect hormonal balance (an overabundance of some hormones and a lack of others) aggravates the situation.

What to do?

Violations of flatfoot - the culprit of the wrong foot mechanics - can be corrected by wearing special orthopedic insoles. This is strengthening and correcting the foot on one side, from below. And there is also a strengthening on the other side of the foot, from above. This is the correct posture and distribution of the right, feasible load on the limbs.

If the bone is just starting to form, light preventive methods of prevention will do. That is, exercise therapy, foot baths, special orthopedic insoles, and compresses using alternative medicine methods. But if the foot is already deformed, a special load program is needed. We need a full complex medical treatment with the use of orthopedic adaptations.

According to Benditsky's method, the joints of the foot are not restored all at once, but in stages - and small and large joints of the foot.

Here's how an individual bone-removal program is developed for the Bendickiy

First step

A diagnostic examination of the feet is performed. Based on the results of this survey, orthopedic insoles are selected, and violations of the position of the ossicles are taken into account.

Second phase

The doctor finds problem areas that disrupt the biomechanics of the body and disrupt the natural shape of the foot, these foci will have to be fought by a special technique, selected individually.

The third stage

Select special orthopedic devices to adjust the position of problem areas of the foot.

Fourth stage

To help orthopedic adaptations, manual therapy and a set of therapeutic exercises are selected. Such an integrated approach will ensure the elimination of foot defects, but not immediately, but gradually. In this case, the doctor takes into account the age of a person, his gender, the characteristics of his health, as well as the intensity of the load on the entire body, depending on the profession.

It's no secret that age is an obstacle to the surgical treatment of ossicles on the legs. When a person turns 60, many of the functions of his body are violated, and doctors are careful not to prescribe operations, because their consequences can be unpredictable. Non-surgical methods are a good alternative to surgical intervention if a person suffers from bones on the legs.

What are the disadvantages of surgical operations?

First of all, in that, having spent a lot of effort and money, a person still can again face the fact that the bone on his leg begins to grow again. If you reconstruct the foot gradually, for a long time, as Benditsky does, it strengthens and eventually changes its shape to the correct one, while maintaining long loads. A stop after surgery is very vulnerable. It is returned to its natural position, but it is only necessary for a person to experience increased stresses, like the arch of the foot and the fingers are bent again and the unpleasant painful bone on the legs - here she is again troubled by pain and discomfort.

Even those operations that are not very traumatic and take a little time do not give any guarantee that within six months there will not be a relapse - the appearance of new bones on the legs. To fully recover from such operations, the stop takes at least four to six months - only after this period you can afford to walk in shoes with heels, and it's not the whole day in a row.
