The human body undergoes serious changes with age due to aging. Often, people of old age develop such an ailment as spondylosis. This concept implies the defeat of the vertebrae, cartilage and the deposition of osteophytes along the spine. Pathology can be localized in different areas, but most often develops a deforming spondylosis of the lumbar spine. Rapidly gaining intensity pathology causes significant discomfort during movement and is even capable of leading a person to disability later on. Therapy takes a long time, but the last stages are especially difficult to treat.
Deforming spondylosis of the lumbosacral spine
Due to the continuous continuous load on this department, spondylosis progresses quite quickly. To ensure the vertebrae with the required strength, bone tissue has to grow. Over time, pressure on the damaged areas increases, and osteophytes begin to be deposited along the spine.
In parallel with this, there is often a spasm of muscles located around the joints. Thus, if you fail to relax the muscular system in time, then it will be more difficult to return the trunk to its original position, and it will be impossible to prevent degenerative changes.
The causes of deforming spondylosis spondylarthrosis of the lumbar spine may be:
- elderly age;
- genetic predisposition;
- presence of injuries;
- failure of metabolic processes;
- sedentary work;
- serious physical activity.
Treatment of deforming spondylosis of the lumbar spine
To administer therapy at home is allowed if a person is not disturbed by inflammatory conditions. If the illness worsens, the patient is hospitalized. The fight against the disease involves the holding of such events:
- Reception of decongestants and painkillers for external and internal use.
- Effective manual therapy is sufficient
only a specialist has the right. - Acupuncture and reflexotherapy can increase blood flow and get rid of stagnant phenomena in the affected area.
- The combination of taking medications and physiotherapy procedures proved to be a positive one.
- Importance is given to exercises that are formed separately for each case with deforming spondylosis localized in the lumbar spine.
The decision to carry out the operation is taken only if the previous methods did not give the expected result, and the symptomatology after only six months of therapy is only gaining strength.
