So much has been said about osteochondrosis that there is probably nothing to add, but this topic is so relevant that it is probably worth writing something from my experience.Those who have encountered this disease do not confuse it with anything: sharp shooting pain, restriction of neck movement and constant discomfort are still not a complete description of osteochondrosis.
So, if this is familiar to you, then in this material I will cover two topics: symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis and treatment at home.
What is cervical osteochondrosis and how to recognize the first signs?
After mankind "stood on its feet", the number of diseases increased.This 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 system has increased many times.Osteochondrosis is the price you have to pay for "walking right".
Osteochondrosis is the stretching of the nerve roots by the vertebral segments due to the thinning and loss of elasticity of the intervertebral discs.As a rule, this can be due to many reasons, including a sedentary lifestyle and poor nutrition.
If this disease is not treated in time, it can lead to very sad consequences.In the first stage, sharp shooting pains, spasms in the muscles of the cervical region and even numbness of the limbs are observed when raising the hands behind the head from the level of the shoulders.
Further - more.When turning the head sharply, short-term and long-term headaches, dizziness and even sudden loss of consciousness are possible.
Where to start the treatment of cervical osteochondrosis?
Of course, it would be good to see a doctor, at least to determine the stage of osteochondrosis, and only then try to treat with drugs or take a course of treatment with folk remedies at home.
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 excellent 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 food, natural immune modeling processes will begin in the body, thanks to which you can get rid of many diseases.
First, look at your diet.If it contains a large amount of fatty and fried foods, then eliminate them completely or reduce them to a minimum.Although, when you "shoot" so that "oh-oh-oh", you will immediately listen to my advice.
Try giving up flour or switching from a light type of bread to a dark one.Black bread is the most useful.
Include in your diet dietary meat that contains a small amount of fat: white chicken, rabbit or boiled beef.Chew your food thoroughly as this helps your body digest and absorb it quickly.Of course, include as many vegetables, fruits, herbs and herbal decoctions in your diet as possible.
You will be surprised how many dishes you can prepare from vegetables that are absolutely not inferior to your usual "food" and at the same time have a beneficial effect on your overall well-being.
Gymnastics - there is no place for osteochondrosis in a healthy body!
During cervical osteochondrosis, it is recommended to do gymnastics, and it is worth noting that exercises can be done at any convenient time, lying down or sitting, the main thing is 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 disease elimination.
In fact, the main word when doing gymnastics for the treatment of osteochondrosis is regularity, and exactly what you do is not so important.Tilt your head left and right, forward and back, make a circle and just roll your neck.
It will not be superfluous to self-massage, which can accompany exercises, which will enhance the healing effect.Mustard plasters and special pain-relieving ointments are also excellent for osteochondrosis.We remind you once again that the main thing is regularity.If there is no visible effect after 2-3 days, then you should not stop following my recommendations.
In fact, if you suspect osteochondrosis, even when all your symptoms disappear, you should not stop living a healthy lifestyle.Now, proper nutrition and an active lifestyle are your new way of life.
And one more thing, don't forget that you are the closest person to yourself, so be bolder in showing love to yourself and your body, which will surprise you in the form of excellent health as a result of responding to positive emotions.
