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 shooting pain, limited mobility of the neck and constant discomfort are still not 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.These include not only hypertension, but also a number of diseases related to the musculoskeletal system.This is understandable, since the load on the entire musculoskeletal system has increased many times.Osteochondrosis is the price to pay for "walking upright".
Osteochondrosis is pinching of nerve roots from 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, among which are a sedentary lifestyle and improper nutrition.
If this disease is not treated in time, it can lead to quite sad consequences.At the first stage, there are sharp shooting pains, spasms in the muscles of the cervical region and even numbness of the limbs when raising the arms above the level of the shoulders behind the head.
Further - more.Short-term and long-lasting headaches, dizziness and even sudden loss of consciousness are possible with a sharp turn of the head.
Where to start the treatment of cervical osteochondrosis?
Of course, it would be a good idea to visit a doctor, at least to determine the stage of osteochondrosis, and only then try to treat yourself 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 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 nutrition, natural immunomodeling processes will begin 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 foods, then eliminate it completely or reduce it to a minimum.Although, when you "shoot" in such a way that "oh-oh-oh", you will immediately take my advice.
Try giving up flour or switching from light types of baked goods to dark ones.Black bread is the most useful.
Introduce into your diet dietary meats that contain 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, introduce as many vegetables, fruits, herbs and herbal decoctions into 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 "breakfasts" you are used to, 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!
With cervical osteochondrosis, it is recommended to do gymnastics, and it is worth noting that the exercises can be done 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 in doing gymnastics for the treatment of osteochondrosis is regularity, and it is no longer so important what exactly you do.Tilt your head left and right, forward and backward, make a circle with your head and just rotate your neck.
Self-massage, which can accompany the exercises, will not be superfluous, which will enhance the healing effect.Mustard plasters and special pain-relieving ointments are also great 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, then even after all your symptoms disappear, you should not stop leading a healthy lifestyle.Now, proper nutrition and an active lifestyle are your new way of life.
And one more thing, remember 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.
