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 experience.Anyone who has encountered this disease will not confuse it with anything: sharp, stabbing pain, limited neck mobility and constant discomfort are still not a complete description of osteochondrosis.
So, if this is familiar to you, in this material I will raise two topics: symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis and treatment at home.
What is cervical osteochondrosis and how to identify the first signs?
Since humanity "recovered", the number of diseases has increased.These included not only hypertension, but also a number of diseases associated with the musculoskeletal system.This is understandable, because the load on the entire musculoskeletal frame has increased many times.Osteochondrosis is the price you pay for “walking upright”.
Osteochondrosis is the pinching of the nerve roots by the segments of the spine due to thinning and loss of elasticity of the intervertebral discs.As a rule, the reasons can be many, including a sedentary lifestyle and poor diet.
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 are observed when raising the arms above shoulder level behind the head.
Furthermore.Short- and long-term headaches, dizziness, and even a sudden loss of consciousness when turning your head sharply are possible.
Where to start treatment of cervical osteochondrosis?
Of course, it would be a good idea to consult a doctor, at least to determine the stage of osteochondrosis, and only then try to cure yourself with medications or undergo a course of treatment at home with folk remedies.
Well, the doctor will tell you about drug treatment and also 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 processes of immune modeling will begin in the body, thanks to which you will be able to get rid of a huge number of diseases.
First, review your diet.If it contains a large amount of fatty and fried foods, eliminate them completely or reduce them to a minimum.However, when you "shoot" in such a way as "oh-oh-oh", you will immediately listen to my advice.
Try giving up flour or switching from light to dark baked goods.Black bread is the most useful.
Introduce dietary meats into your diet that contain a small amount of fat: white chicken, rabbit or boiled beef.Chew your food well, as this helps your body digest and absorb it faster.Of course, include as many vegetables, fruits, herbs and herbal decoctions as possible in your diet.
You will be surprised by how many dishes you can come up with from vegetables that are absolutely in no way inferior to the "snacks" you are used to and 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 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.Tilt your head left and right, back and forth, make a circle with your head and simply rotate your neck.
Self-massage, which can accompany the exercises, will not be superfluous, which will enhance the healing effect.Mustard plasters and special ointments for pain relief are also great for osteochondrosis.Let me remind you once again that the main thing is regularity.If after 2-3 days there are no visible effects, you should not stop following my advice.
Indeed, if you suspect osteochondrosis, even after all the symptoms have disappeared, you should not stop leading a healthy lifestyle.Now proper nutrition and an active lifestyle are your new lifestyle.
And one more thing, do not forget that you are the closest person to yourself, so be bolder in showing love for yourself and your body, which, responding to positive emotions, will surprise you in return in the form of excellent health.
