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 based on my own experience.Anyone who has encountered this disease will not confuse it with anything: sharp shooting pains, limited neck mobility 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: cervical osteochondrosis symptoms and treatment at home.
What is cervical osteochondrosis and how to identify the first signs?
Since humanity "got back on its feet", the number of diseases has increased.These included not only hypertension, but also a number of diseases associated with the musculoskeletal system.It is understandable, because the load on the entire musculoskeletal system has increased many times.Osteochondrosis is the price you have to pay for "walking upright".
Osteochondrosis is compression of nerve roots of segments of the spine due to thinning and loss of elasticity of the intervertebral discs.As a rule, there can be many reasons for this, including a sedentary lifestyle and poor diet.
If this disease is not treated on 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 in the limbs are observed when raising the arms above the level of the shoulders behind the head.
Further - more.Short-term and long-term headache, dizziness and even sudden loss of consciousness when the head is turned sharply are possible.
Where to start treating cervical osteochondrosis?
Of course, it would be a good idea to see a doctor, at least to determine the stage of osteochondrosis, and only then try to be treated 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 myself, 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 nutrition, natural immune modeling processes will start in the body, thanks to which you can get rid of a large number of diseases.
First, review your diet.If it contains a large amount of fatty and fried foods, remove 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 giving up flour or switching from light baked goods to dark.Black bread is the most useful.
Introduce dietary meat into your diet that contains a small amount of fat: white chicken, rabbit or boiled beef.Chew your food thoroughly as it helps your body digest and absorb it faster.Of course, introduce as many vegetables, fruits, herbs and herbal decoctions into your diet as possible.
You will be surprised at how many dishes you can come up with from vegetables that are absolutely not inferior to the "snacks" you are used to, and which at the same time have a beneficial effect on your general well-being.
Gymnastics – there is no place for osteochondrosis in a healthy body!
For 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, and this, 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 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 increase the healing effect.Mustard plasters and special pain-relieving ointments are also good for osteochondrosis.Let me remind you once again that the most important thing is regularity.If after 2-3 days there is no visible effect, then do 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 to yourself and your body, which, responding to positive emotions, will surprise you in return in the form of excellent health.
