Much has been said about osteochondrosis and there is probably little to add, although the topic is so relevant that it might be worth writing something based on my own experience.Anyone who has encountered this disease will not confuse it with anything else: sharp stabbing pains, limited neck movement, and constant discomfort are not yet complete descriptions of osteochondrosis.
Therefore, if you are familiar with this, in this material I will address two topics: symptoms and home treatment of osteochondrosis of the cervical spine.
What is cervical osteochondrosis and how to recognize the first symptoms?
Since humanity "got back on its feet," the number of diseases has increased.These include not only hypertension but also many diseases related to the musculoskeletal system.This is understandable, since the load on the entire musculoskeletal frame increases many times.Osteochondrosis is the price you pay for "walking upright."
Osteochondrosis is caused by thinning and loss of elasticity of the intervertebral discs, which causes nerve roots to become pinched by spinal segments.Generally speaking, there are many reasons for this condition, including a sedentary lifestyle and poor eating habits.
This disease, if left untreated, can have quite tragic consequences.In the first stage, when the arms are raised behind the head and above the shoulders, severe tingling, neck muscle spasm, and even numbness in the limbs will occur.
also.You may experience short-term and long-term headaches, dizziness, and even sudden loss of consciousness when you turn your head sharply.
Where to start treating cervical osteochondrosis?
Of course, it is better to see a doctor and at least determine the stage of osteochondrosis before trying medications or treating it at home with folk remedies.
Then the doctor will tell you about the medication and even prescribe it, 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 health
Nutrition plays one of the most important roles in human life and the harmonious flow of all processes in the body.
The fact is that if you really try to change your lifestyle for a month, starting with nutrition, a natural immune model process will start in the body through which you can get rid of a large number of diseases.
First, examine your diet.If foods contain a lot of fat and fried foods, eliminate them completely or reduce them to a minimum.However, when you “shoot” with an “oooooh”, you’ll immediately follow my advice.
Try giving up flour or switching from light to dark baked goods.Brown bread is most useful.
Incorporate dietary meats that contain small amounts of fat into your diet: 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 to find out that you can make many dishes with vegetables that are definitely not inferior to the "snacks" you are accustomed to, while at the same time having a beneficial impact on your overall health.
Gymnastics – there is no place for osteochondrosis in a healthy body!
For osteochondrosis of the cervical spine, it is recommended to perform gymnastics, it is worth noting that the exercises can be performed at any convenient time, lying down or sitting, the main thing is to do them as often as possible.
This not only increases the flexibility of the entire cervical spine, but also normalizes blood circulation, which in turn has a positive effect on the process of eliminating disease.
In fact, the key word in doing gymnastics to treat osteochondrosis is regularity, and what you do specifically is no longer so important.Tilt your head side to side, forward and backward, make a circle with your head, and then simply rotate your neck.
Self-massage can be combined with practice without appearing redundant, which will enhance the healing effect.Mustard plasters and special pain-relieving ointments also work well in treating osteochondrosis.Let me remind you again that the most important thing is regularity.If there are no visible results after 2-3 days, then you should not stop following my advice.
In fact, if you suspect osteochondrosis, you should not stop leading a healthy lifestyle even after all symptoms have resolved.Now, proper nutrition and an active lifestyle are your new way of life.
One more thing, don't forget that you are the one closest to yourself, so be bold in expressing love for yourself and your body, which responds to positive emotions and will bring surprises to you, in return in the form of good health.
