Lumbar osteochondrosis is one of the most common diseases of mankind, they are equally affected by both men and women. This disease is damaged by the whole spine, the intervertebral discs, the cartilage tissue, the lumbosacreal and sacred section, most often after 30 years of risk, but with physical work that has a large load on the backs, they may meet such a problem and very young people.
We will analyze what are the causes of this disease, how dangerous are and what treatment methods are there?
Causes of lumbar osteochondrosis
- Excessive workload of the spine, heavy physical labor, weight gain, including in the gym during sports.
- Excess weight, thereby increasing pressure and load on the entire column of the spine.
- A seductive, seductive lifestyle that results in the tissues between the cartilage drives and slows down the bloodstream.
- Posing disorders, hanging in one direction in one direction due to the back position of a congenital or acquired session.
- Injuries, bruises, sports, weight gain, etc. Sh.
- Genetic predisposition.
- Age -related changes with which the mobility and elasticity of the spinal column are lost.
- Inflammation of the joints of the spine, arthritis, scoliosis joints.

The degree of osteochondrosis of the waist
4 out of the main stage of the disease are distinguished, gradually turning from simpler quality to complications, we will analyze each of them.
1 degree
Moderate pain in the spine, which is intense after physical exercise, is manifested by stupid, bumps, with shiny pain in the back and in the buttocks, and may be bothered for a while.
2 degrees
The distance between the vertebrates decreases, the fiber ring and all the surrounding tissue begin to break down, the nerve roots contract. At this point, the pain becomes sharper and tangible, conveying the buttocks, thighs and lower legs. By attack, a person experiences relief when he is stretched out in the opposite direction, that is, back, pain can cause severe burning sensation, or in the affected side of the cold.
3 degrees
Typically, fiber rings are completely destroyed, resulting in intervertebral hernia. Lumbar spine tissues are deformed, the pain is almost constant, the intensity of which depends on the presence or absence of physical force.
4 degrees
The abnormal nature of the vertebrates in the lumbar region becomes, cartilage atrophy, which causes problems when moving. The pain is reduced for a while, but after that it can manifest in a larger place and with increased intensity, resulting in loss of flexibility, mobility and disability.
Symptoms of lumbar osteochondrosis
Pain
In 98% of cases, in this disease, the pain occurs, the lower back area is directly painful and may be given to the buttocks, with the sciatica nerve landscapes. Pain can be moderate and increased when changing body position, sudden movements, sharp turns, and when the body is tilted, the person simply does not swell back, up to a heavy object, it can also close in one position and the basters in the lumbar region will begin.
With such a disease, depending on the degree, the pain can appear even with the vibration of the body, while driving, engine, coughing or deep breathing.
The feeling of tension
The feeling of tension becomes sharply and disappears so quickly, it becomes most often increased and in the process of enlargement, the cause of this manifestation is explained by the fact that the irritated, nerve spine changes from bone processes.
Delayed sensitivity
Typically, sensitivity changes occur precisely in the area of injury, without touching the cross parts of the body. Such changes can be observed:
- Hyperesthesia (increased, increased sensitivity);
- Hypesthesia or anesthesia (reduced sensitivity);
- Paresthesia (prolonged sensation of shredded shrubs, or during injections).
Sensitivity changes usually occur in a certain, small strip, inflammatory focus and can last from 5 minutes to several hours.
Reduced motor activity
To varying degrees, mobility is affected by muscle atrophy, which can simply weaken movements, or cause complete paralysis. At the same time, the motor will deteriorate at a particular location where the muscles are injured, the accompanying parts of the body do not suffer.
Disruption of autonomic function
It does not always arise, more often it occurs with cervical osteochondrosis. Lumbar osteochondrosis provokes a decrease in blood flow to the lower extremities, as a result, the legs are always cold, and the skin as a whole becomes pale. Also, at risk, the bladder may also fall into the risk zone, with internal pressure on horse tail fibers, there is a possibility of developing severe urinary incontinence, or the opposite of its delay.
Less often, the feeling of coldness in the body can be observed, although the temperature drops, excessive sweating, the more difficult form of sexual dysfunction in men, and in women the complete absence of libido and intimate lubrication.
In men, all the symptoms described are more often and more intense because they increase more physical work, more weight, and therefore give a great deal of load on their backs, so at one stage of disease development, they are faster.
Complications with lumbar osteochondrosis
- Inflammation of the sciatic nerve, Ishia.
- The degree and speed of disk destruction between the vertebrates increases, the spine curve becomes maximally pronounced.
- The volatile position of the spine, when the disc cuts it to fully corrected and at the waist region with any load, even light, "slides" from the place, from the seat. As a result, the functioning and work of the internal organs of the genital system is impaired. In men it causes strength, in women with serious inflammation of the uterus, ovaries and appendages.
- Hernia and inflammatory processes between different vertebrate segments.
