So much has been said about osteochondrosis that there is probably nothing to add, although this topic is so relevant that it is probably worth writing something from my own experience.Anyone who has encountered 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 raise two topics: symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis and treatment at home.
What is cervical osteochondrosis and how to recognize the first signs?
Since mankind "stood on its feet", the number of diseases has increased.This includes 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 to pay for "walking upright".
Osteochondrosis is the pinching of nerve roots by segments of the spine due to the 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 rather sad consequences.In the first stage, sharp shooting pains, spasms in the muscles of the cervical region, and even numbness of the limbs when raising the arms above shoulder level behind the head are noticed.
Further - more.Short-term and long-term headaches, dizziness, and even sudden loss of consciousness when suddenly turning the head are possible.
Where to start the treatment of cervical osteochondrosis?
Of course, it would be good to visit a doctor, at least to determine the stage of osteochondrosis, and only after that try to be treated with drugs or undergo home treatment 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 excellent health
Nutrition plays one of the most important roles in human life, as does 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 your diet, natural processes of immune modeling will start 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 food, then eliminate it completely or reduce it to a minimum.Although, when you "shoot" in an "oh-oh-oh" way, you will immediately take my advice.
Try to give up flour or switch from light types of pastries to dark ones.Black bread is the most useful.
Introduce into 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 faster.Of course, include as many vegetables, fruits, herbs and vegetable decoctions in your diet as possible.
You will be surprised how many dishes you can come up with 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.
Gymnastics - osteochondrosis has no place in a healthy body!
With cervical osteochondrosis, it is recommended to perform gymnastics, and it is worth noting that the exercises can be performed 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, which, in turn, will have a positive effect on the process of eliminating the disease.
In fact, the key word when doing gymnastics for the treatment of osteochondrosis is regularity, and what exactly you do is no longer so important.Tilt your head left-right, forward-back, make a circle with your head and simply turn your neck.
Self-massage, which can accompany exercises, will not be superfluous, which will enhance the healing effect.Mustard plasters and special ointments for pain relief 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 effect, then you should not stop following my recommendations.
In fact, if you suspect osteochondrosis, even after all your symptoms disappear, you should not stop leading a healthy lifestyle.Now proper nutrition and an active lifestyle are your new lifestyle.
And one more thing, don't forget that you are the closest to you, so be braver in expressing your love for yourself and your body, which, responding to positive emotions, will surprise you in return in the form of excellent health.
