Osteochondrosis of the spine is one of the most common diseases.Osteochondrosis occurs with increased load on the spine, and in people who lead a sedentary lifestyle (office workers who sit at the computer for a long time).
In the morning you feel stiffness in your back, limited movement in one part of your spine.These may be the first symptoms of an insidious disease that has become much younger in recent years - osteochondrosis of the spine.
The disease can last a long time without external manifestations.
The first signs of imbalance, which you should see a doctor for, are:
- back muscle tension,
- back pain,
- periodic limitation of movement in the cervical, thoracic or lumbar region,
- feeling of stiffness in the back in the morning, which disappears after warming up.
In the spine, degenerative-dystrophic changes occur in the cartilage and joints, which leads to disc deformation;arthrosis occurs in the intervertebral joints.Treatment must be started in the early stages of the disease.
Methods of diagnosing osteochondrosis include X-ray diagnostics and magnetic tomography of the spine (MRI).

Therapeutic exercise
Special attention is paid to exercises for neck and back muscles.For patients with osteochondrosis, physical therapy (physical therapy) is carried out in the mode of joint relief - lying down, sitting, with the use of isometric exercises, where the muscles, although tense, do not change their length, and there is no movement in the joints.
Traction of the spine
Traction is performed to relieve back pain, it encourages:
- stretching of spasmodic muscles,
- emptying of intervertebral discs,
