Lumbar pains are familiar to almost everyone.Pain, like love: appears when you do not wait.He leaned over to tie the laces, and suddenly - not to straighten.Or even woke up, but it hurts to sit down.Lumbar osteochondrosis is formed for a long time, it gives yourself sharply, requires treatment, and you want to do it at home quickly.Because the pain is intense: it does not allow to turn.
Is it possible for an insidious disease that has been hidden for years to tame at home, to quickly get rid of a sharp pain?
Why does the back hurt with osteochondrosis, how to cure it at home
To cope with the investigation (pain), you need to know the causes of the problem.This will help act purposefully, neutralize the source of pain.And, yes: to treat osteochondrosis of the lumbar, and not only, the department can successfully at normal home, knowing how.
The recommendations sent to the doctor are good and correct, but it is not always possible to follow them.Know how to help himself is worth everyone: osteochondrosis is a Pandemia of the "Computer Age".The reckoning for the inability to take care of yourself on time.
What is the mechanism of pain with lumbar osteochondrosis, how to treat it, how to relieve pain at home?Let's figure out what and why it hurts.Muscles always hurt.It is they who have pain receptors from which the information is read by nerves, transmitted from there to the brain.
Neither the bone can hurt, nor the nerve itself.Cartys are also deprived of pain receptors.
The main causes of the disease
The spine, in whatever state of its components, is maintained in working condition with muscles and ligaments.When this support:
- Weakened;
- Injured;
- Subject to edema;
- Constrained by spasms - acute pain occurs.
Often in terms of intensity, it surpasses even cordial.It’s difficult to endure, a person is looking for a way out.You need to understand how immediately, right now, at home, to get rid of pain, to carry out accessible methods for the treatment of osteochondrosis of the lumbar region.
- Muscle weakness.Yes, this is the main one.You can’t make a weak muscle instantly strong.But you need to start strengthening it right away.How?The only and most correct, reliable tool: proper physical activity.Yes, the load, even though the muscles are sick.There will be no recovery without overcoming.There are ointments, rubbish, tablets, injections - this is temporary relief, but not a cure;
- Traumatism.The weak muscle is injured by a load.After all, a person cannot sit all his life at the computer or to lie at the TV, he is also forced to move.It is elementary to move yourself in space for urgent needs.For a detrained muscle system, this is already a load.There comes a moment when and - overload.And then he “jams” somewhere, often this is the lumbar region.Dryaby muscle fibers even get micronics from the usual movement: they are injured;
- Swelling.Even such an internal injury to muscle fibers is the cause of edema.The swollen muscles hurt even more.Pain receptors signal: SOS!Need help!Nerves read the signal, send it to the brain.The person does not think about this chain yet.He longs for one thing: to get rid of pain, thinks how to treat him at home with a painful lumbar osteochondrosis.
But knowledge of the causes is the key to the elimination of the consequences.We have already mentioned weakness, injury and swelling.Here is such a weak muscle (or muscles), swollen with microtrauma, with any innocent movement (turning the body, tilt during shoes) can easily be spasmodic.Spasm is severe pain.All this in the complex is manifestations of osteochondrosis.
Lumbar osteochondrosis occurs more often than others.He praises both sexes, but men go to the maximum.Already because they are men, they historically be entrusted with the “power function” - the severity of lifting is traditionally relied by the strong half.Although it is no less weakened physically, this half, with the development of civilization.
If earlier a teenager had to get on a tree to tear an apple, now: stretch his hand twice.The first time: from the shelf of the supermarket, this is an apple into a cart on wheels on wheels.The second - to give money for the fruit to the cashier.You can’t call this training.Civilized society establishes its own rules, often neglecting the consequences.
The muscles, without receiving an adequate load, are weakening.And they should be a spine, and the whole body, they need to maintain in shape.Do not withstand.They are torn and hurt.
Most people suffer from osteochondrosis - 70% of the country's adult (from 25 years), and often children are already.Why so, and how to cope with this, you need to know.
Treatment of osteochondrosis of the lower back independently, at home
What can be done at home, what urgent help to provide yourself?You can do a lot.
If the lumbar chondrosis is already diagnosed, then the patient has recommendations and drugs for treatment himself, at home, he knows what to treat.It will not be possible to heal, so at least the pain is reduced.This is also a result.
But it is important to understand.Pharmacy ointments, rubbish, are aimed at activating blood circulation, which is not bad.At the same time, they have a warming effect.But this is no longer a plus.Swelling, and pain is always swelling, do not warm!Remember your childhood - who warmed the bruise (edema)?Here you need cold.Only the cold can eliminate edema.Necessarily - in combination with movement.
The reaction to this information is predictable.Pain.Edema.I would like to take painkillers, overlay pillows and not move at all!And here - movement.We emphasize: the correct, physiological, non -traumatic movement.Special exercises.It will hurt.We will call the cold to the aid.He relieves swelling and anesthetizes this.Cold also accelerates blood circulation, especially in alliance with exercises.
What to do if it "enters" in the back?A person knows: this is the problem of the spine, osteochondrosis of the lumbar, but how to treat it at home?Not so difficult.
What is on the floor?Carpet?Palace?Spread on top of it (or ask for homes, if you yourself are not able to) a blanket, a blanket-something is not very soft, just slightly increase the thickness of your "training field".Lie back on him.
With intense pain for a lumbar deflection, place a heating pad with ice.Not always such an anesthetic is at hand.It doesn’t matter: any package of freezer: with vegetables, other frozen products, is also suitable.Wrap it with a towel, and - under the lower back.
Do not be afraid.The technique is not homegrown, developed by the Doctor of Sciences of Medicine.Many have heard about this famous doctor - these are his recommendations, tested on himself.The method has already cured (it was cured, not just helped) thousands of patients.
The doctor has a network of gym specialized halls.But he perfectly adapts the complex to home conditions, knows and advises how and what osteochondrosis (chondrosis in the expansion) of the lumbar spine can be treated without special simulators, at home.
A simple set of exercises
We continue the description of the methodology.Basic exercises are aimed at decompression (reduction of pressure on adjacent tissues) of the spine and the restoration of the strength of its muscles.They are as follows:
- Lying on the back with your hands clown under the neck, try to slowly rise, raising and bent legs.The goal is to touch the knees with elbows.This is done on exhalation, exhale intense, noisy.Exercise through pain.The cold under the lower back and a sharp exhalation at the pain is triggered on an anesthesia.The muscles adjacent to the spine in the lumbar region are stretched.They are spasmodic, stretching this spasm, the cold removes the edema.Several repetitions noticeably improve well -being;
- Having risen on all fours (knees and stops in the palm of your hand), walk around the room, stretching his hands as much as possible forward in this walk.The lumbar muscles are stretched at the same time.Effect, as from the first exercise;
- To lie near the sofa on the back, putting your legs on the sofa.The hips are pressed to the sofa.Hands behind the head and raise the body, as far as it turns out, towards the sofa.Also stretch.Cold under the lower back.
If this complex was used immediately when the pain is detected, it can retreat after the first lesson.Sometimes it will be required.But it will become easier at once.It is not worth throwing classes, twenty minutes every day is enough to support the muscles in normal condition.Pain will leave, you can add more exercises, the muscles will grow stronger.This is relapse insurance.Strong muscles reliably hold the spine in the correct position, weak - the source of problems.
At the same time, restoring muscles, exercises contribute to improving hemodynamics.A strong healthy muscle, contracting and relaxing, helps blood to move through the vessels located inside it.Blood carries nutrition throughout the body, it improves in intervertebral discs.
Another physiologist claimed: the body is a self -healing system.This is true.It is only necessary to help the muscles gain the former or close to it.In the body systems, support groups work, replacing functions are included, bypass pathways are formed - restoration is possible.
Symptomatic treatment
Not every person is able to transfer pain from lumbosacral osteochondrosis by choosing treatment only by exercises at home.The symptoms cause the main concern.Their sick seeks to remove the first thing.
Treatment of symptoms is a very common business.Doctors prescribe funds that do not have a therapeutic effect.The drugs simply violate the transmission of impulses from the suffering organ to the brain.The pathology remains, the patient does not feel it for a while.The process progresses, relapses are inevitable.
But the most noticeable in illness is a symptom.When it is painful, intensely expressed, it is important to return acceptable well -being.There are proven funds, they are at home a good help in how to cure the pain that the lumbar osteochondrosis provoked.
The best of the funds:
- Salt lotions.The method is old, is now being revived and proves its effectiveness.
The algorithm is as follows:
- Golusted stone salt is dissolved in water, preparing a 10% solution.Salt take large grinding.Water is better distilled or filtered.Artesian or spring is not suitable: it has its own salts.When the pain is strong and there is no filter or distilled water, you can take ordinary, tap;
- The desired percentage will turn out if you take 100 g of salt and add water to a liter volume.Take hot water.In practice, a whole liter of solution does not always need.Even such a combination is enough for one procedure: two tablespoons of large salt on twenty tablespoons of water;
- Salt should completely dissolve;
- In the solution, gauze is wetted or erased repeatedly, not a new, cotton fabric.Sprightly squeezed, fold.Fabric - four, gauze - in 8 layers.Until it has cooled, they are applied to the lower back, where the pain is concentrated.Top is covered with a dry cloth or bandaged.This is not a compress, there should not be any films or gloss.The lotion "breathing".The skin is necessarily clean: neither ointments, nor traces of iodine, nor rubber so that there is no;
- So leave for the night, and better - for ten hours;
- After the fabric is thoroughly washed and rinse, the skin can be wiped in front of the next procedure with a clean, wet towel.
The course is at least 10 lotions.Repeat daily.The pain will leave after the first three to five.And it will be relieved from the first lotion.But you need to carry out manipulations all ten times.Otherwise, quick relapse is almost inevitable.
- Honey cabbage.Often used, well relieves pain, method.The cabbage leaf on the concave side is lubricated with honey, and put on the same side to the sore spot.Fixed, tied with a cloth around the lower back.Leave at night.The pain goes on average in three days.
- Clay cakes.Clay is suitable, no special.It is kneaded to the consistency of burdened plasticine, it is better in saline.Careless sometimes use evaporated urine for kneading.The effect is approximately the same, sensations too.Only the smell is very different.Here, a clay cake is already covered with a plastic bag: a kind of compress.
Clay helps quickly, sometimes in one procedure.In the evening he imposed a clay compress, took off in the morning and forgot for some time where it hurt.
The relief from all "applied" methods is temporary.But it can not be missed, at this time to do exercises.It will become easier to perform them, namely they - the treatment is not symptomatic.Real, healing.
There are many more recipes that relieve pain with lumbar osteochondrosis.Ointments of herbs and animal fats, rubbish rabs from burning plants, poultices, tinctures.All of them are distracting and warming.And heat is temporary relief and self -deception.
Therefore, here we have a conversation only about what heals, what benefits.The rest has the right to be.Like any patient, you have the right to choose: to drive the disease inside or expel it completely.
