The beginning of the dacha season often coincides with an exacerbation of osteochondrosis. Backache and back pain appear due to the fact that the townspeople weakened during the winter do not calculate their own strength.
Therapeutic gymnastics for osteochondrosis
Prevention
To prevent back pain, strain gradually. Never lift or hold objects with outstretched hands. This increases the load on the spine tenfold. To pick up an object, squat down, and then stand up with it. The spine should remain straight. A particular danger is the lifting of weights while turning to the side.
Carry weights in both hands – no more than 8-10 kg total weight. It is more reasonable to carry a heavy load behind your shoulders – in a backpack. After straining your spine, always stretch with your arms up.
Keep your lower back warm. If you already have back pain, use an orthopedic belt during special physical activity.
After work, it is good to take a steam bath in a sauna or a Russian bath with a birch broom. Thermal treatments have a beneficial effect on the spine. Back massage also has a prophylactic effect.
If exacerbations of osteochondrosis bother you quite often, consult your doctor. Perhaps he will prescribe drugs from the group of chondroprotectors. These drugs are naturally occurring substances found primarily in cartilage. They play a role in the restoration of lubrication of the articular surfaces, and also participate in the synthesis of new cartilage tissue. Therefore, these tablets and capsules prevent the development of osteochondrosis. To be effective, they should be taken over a period of several months.
And remember: the most effective and safe way to prevent osteochondrosis is swimming.
At the first symptoms
If you feel discomfort in your lower back, drop everything and lie on your back on a hard, warm, flat surface. To warm up on the most sore spot, stick a pepper plaster and apply a warming ointment, such as Finalgon or Nicoflex. Relieves pain and a warm woolen shawl, an electric heating pad, a bag of heated sand.
Rubbing the back with anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents such as dolgit cream, fastum gel, ketonal or voltaren emulgel helps well. Of the new drugs, febrofid ointment is good at eliminating pain.
Pain injections and pills can only be used as directed by a doctor. The drugs that relieve pain in osteochondrosis have quite a few contraindications and side effects.
