So much has been said about osteochondrosis that there is probably nothing to add, although this topic is so topical that it is probably worth writing something from my own experience.Anyone who has dealt with this disease will not confuse it with anything: sharp pain, limited mobility of the neck and constant discomfort are not yet a complete description of osteochondrosis.
So, if this is familiar to you, then in this material I will touch on two topics: symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis and home treatment.
What is cervical osteochondrosis and how to recognize the first signs?
Since mankind "got back on its feet", the number of diseases has increased.These included not only hypertension, but also a number of diseases related to the musculoskeletal system.This is understandable, because the load on the entire musculoskeletal framework has multiplied.Osteochondrosis is the price you have to pay for "walking upright".
Osteochondrosis is the pinching of nerve roots by parts of the spine due to thinning and loss of elasticity of the intervertebral discs.As a rule, there can be many reasons for this, among which are a sedentary lifestyle and poor nutrition.
If this disease is not treated in time, it can lead to quite sad consequences.In the first stage, there are sharp bulbous pains, spasms in the muscles of the neck region and even numbness of the extremities when raising the hands above the level of the shoulders behind the head.
Further - more.Short-term and long-term headaches, dizziness and even sudden loss of consciousness when turning the head sharply are possible.
Where to start the treatment of cervical osteochondrosis?
Of course, it would be a good idea to see a doctor, at least to determine the stage of osteochondrosis and only after that try to get treatment with drugs or undergo a course of treatment at home with folk remedies.
Well, the doctor will tell you about drug treatment and even prescribe pills, and I will share my personal experience, thanks to which many people, including me, completely got rid of all the above symptoms.
Nutrition is the key to good health
Nutrition plays one of the most important roles in human life, as well as the harmonious flow of all processes in the body.
The fact is that if you literally try to change your lifestyle for a month, starting with diet, natural immune modeling processes will begin in the body, thanks to which you can get rid of a huge number of diseases.
First, review your diet.If it contains a large amount of fatty and fried foods, then eliminate it completely or reduce it to a minimum.Although, when you "shoot" in such a way that "oh-oh-oh", you will immediately listen to my advice.
Try leaving out the flour or switching from light to dark types of baked goods.Brown bread is the most useful.
Introduce dietary meats into your diet that contain a small amount of fat: white chicken, rabbit or boiled beef.Chew your food well as this helps your body digest and absorb it faster.Of course, introduce as many vegetables, fruits, herbs and herbal teas into your diet as possible.
You will be surprised how many dishes you can find from vegetables that are absolutely not inferior to the "snacks" you are used to and at the same time have a beneficial effect on your overall well-being.
Exercise - there is no place for osteochondrosis in a healthy body!
For cervical osteochondrosis, it is recommended to do gymnastics, and it is worth noting that the exercises can be done at any convenient time, lying down or sitting, the main thing is to do it as often as possible.
This will not only increase the flexibility of the entire cervical spine, but also normalize blood circulation, and this, in turn, will have a positive effect on the process of eliminating the disease.
In fact, the key word when exercising for the treatment of osteochondrosis is regularity, and what exactly you do is no longer so important.Tilt your head left and right, back and forth, make a circle with your head and just roll your neck.
Self-massage, which can accompany exercises, will not be superfluous, which will enhance the therapeutic effect.Mustard plasters and special analgesic ointments are also excellent for osteochondrosis.Let me remind you once again that the main thing is regularity.If after 2-3 days there is no visible result, then you should not stop following my recommendations.
In fact, if you suspect osteochondrosis, then even after all your symptoms disappear, you should not stop leading a healthy lifestyle.Now proper nutrition and an active lifestyle is your new way of life.
And one more thing, do not forget that you are the closest person to yourself, so be bolder in showing love for yourself and your body, which, responding to positive emotions, will surprise you in the form of excellent health.
