So much has been said about osteochondrosis that there is probably nothing to add, although this topic is so important that it is probably worth writing something from my 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 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 home treatment.
What is cervical osteochondrosis and how to identify the first signs?
Since mankind "stood up again", the number of diseases has increased.These 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 framework has increased many times.Osteochondrosis is the price to pay for "walking straight".
Osteochondrosis is the compression of the nerve roots by the 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 a poor diet.
If this disease is not treated in time, it can lead to quite sad consequences.In the first stage, there are sharp shooting pains, spasms in the muscles of the cervical region and even numbness of the limbs when the arms are raised above the level of the shoulders behind the head.
Further - more.Short-term and long-term headaches, dizziness and even sudden loss of consciousness when you turn your head sharply are possible.
Where to start the treatment of cervical osteochondrosis?
Of course, it would be a good idea to go to the doctor, at least to determine the stage of osteochondrosis, and only after that try to be treated with medications 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 food, natural processes of immune modeling will begin 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, 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 listen to my advice.
Try cutting out flour or switching from light to dark types of baked goods.Black bread is more beneficial.
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, get as many vegetables, fruits, herbs and herbal teas into your diet as possible.
You will be surprised how many dishes you can find 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 - there is no place for osteochondrosis in a healthy body!
For 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 when doing gymnastics to treat osteochondrosis is regularity, and what exactly you do is no longer so important.Turn 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 excessive, which will increase 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, then even after all the 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, don't 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.
