Osteochondrosis waist is a deformation of the spine in the waist area.The disease affects the discs, cartilage tissue, spine roots and nerve fibers and back pain.
Reason
The main cause of the disease is the incorrect distribution of the load on the musculoskeletal system.Usually this happens when walking on high heels, wearing a bag on one side, with an uncomfortable position in a dream or at a sitting job.There is a risk of elderly, pregnant, born only, professional athletes and office workers.
Other causes of lumbar osteoarthritis:
- Injury, bruises, fractures, legs, spine;
- damage to organs of the musculoskeletal system;
- Gastrointestinal diseases cause a shortage of beneficial substances;
- Body stress at prolonged load;
- psychological disorders;
- violate blood flow in the spine;
- inflammation of the musculoskeletal movement;
- Infection of internal organs and vertebrae;
- hardness of joints and discs;
- Intervertebral hernia and hernia;
- serious poisoning;
- metabolic disorders;
- The curvature of the posture;
- Sedentary lifestyle;
- dehydration;
- Unbalanced diet;
- Lack of calcium and oxygen;
- Excess weight;
- bad habits;
- changes related to age;
- Joint disease.
Symptoms of lumbar osteoarthritis
The intensity and nature of symptoms depends on the stage of the disease.The faster the patient finds signs of lumbar osteoarthritis, the more effective treatment will be.
General symptoms:
- Intense pain at the bottom of the back, can be feet, internal organs of the abdomen and pelvis;
- kidney pain and sacrum;
- fatigue and stress in the lower and part of the spine;
- Difficulties in moving, walking, trend and turn of the body;
- Periodic background at the back;
- tired after small load;
- Crunch at the back, mobile violations, pain in a state of calm;
- numbness of Chi;
- spasms and cramps in muscles;
- dizzy;
- Weaknesses and loss of strength;
- Reduce muscle tone and sensitivity.
In men and women, the manifestations of lumbar muscle disease may vary.Men may have problems with potential.Women often suffer from pelvic pain.When a deformed spine cannot completely support the back, the uterus and the Appendix experience the additional load, and sometimes move to a normal physiological position.
Alike
The classification of osteoarthritis of the lumbar spine includes some varieties of the disease.According to the type of pain syndrome, they distinguish:
Lumbago.Acute symptoms.It is shown by sharp and unable to move.It occurs with muscle cramps, trauma, disc pin and nerve roots.
Lumbalgia.It is characterized by long -term pain due to hernia, protruding, spondylarthrosses, ligaments and other disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
Mental pain.Strong pain syndrome in Lumbosacral, Eradiri in the basin.The pain applies to sciatica, preventing the bending and expanding the body normally, preventing me from sitting and standing without pain.
Discogenic Lumbar Osteochondrosis and Radiculopathy are also distinguished.
Discogenic Lumbar OsteochondrosisIt comes with loss of sensitivity and numbness not only on the back, but both legs, buttocks, hips and abdominal bottoms.Sometimes the body temperature increases, weak, incontinence, patients with weight loss.
RadiationExpressed by paralysis of nerve roots and reducing human movement.Signs - tingling or aches and pains of the entire lower body, reducing reflexes, reducing muscle tones and joints of the limbs.
The stage of development of lumbar osteoarthritis
Doctors monitor the dynamics of pathology in four stages:
- Firstly.Symptoms are almost invisible - they are diagnosed in x -ray.The starting stage with the pathological processes in the intentional cavity of the disk excess and the vicrocracks of the yarn ring.
- Monday.The height of the disc is reduced, making the vertebrae have a tight position.This causes the sliding and moving of the vertebrae, accompanied by pain during motion.
- Tuesday.It is characterized by hardness, unstable, numbness of the body in Coccyx, lower back and sacrum.This can be explained by protruding vertebrae, owners, dislocated joints and joints in the spine.
- Wednesday.The most serious level.The functions of the spine column are weakened on it and the growth of bone (osteophytes) is formed.Growals can pinch nerves or damage the integrity of the vertebra.
Consequences of joint disease
- Excessive salt accumulation in the body;
- The development of hernia, protruding, proliferation of the vertebrae and the disc;
- Chronic radioactive inflammation;
- Paresis and paralysis.
Diagnose
Lumbar osteoarthritis diseases and other disorders of the skeletal muscle system can diagnose orthopedic doctor, osteoporosis, neuroscientist, rheumatoid doctor, manual therapy and surgeon.The following accurate diagnosis can be given:
- X -Ray of the spine, showing the condition of bone, cartilage and muscle tissue, as well as ligaments and tendons.
- Myelography - Studies on cerebrospinal fluid with dyes.With its help, the nerve roots of the spinal cord are studied and evaluated.
To check more details, doctors use CT and MRI.You can undergo diagnosis in the clinic.
