Treatment of protrusion of the disc in the thoracic region

For the treatment of protrusion of the thoracic spine, such modern methods as physical therapy, complex therapeutic massage, restorative kinesiotherapy (mechanotherapy), manual correction, as well as traction therapy with the Cypress apparatus are used.

Physical therapy, rehabilitation, exercise therapy

Dosed physical activity gives a good therapeutic effect in case of protrusion of the thoracic spine. The doctor makes a set of necessary exercises, demonstrates the correctness of their implementation, controls the result of treatment. Physical therapy quickly affects the healing process.

The treatment course is compiled by the doctors of the “Spine Ambulatory” centers based on the results of the research. Conducting treatment sessions is possible, including at the stage of exacerbation and in the presence of acute pain, if the doctor does not find other contraindications. When developing a treatment program, individual indicators are taken into account, such as the patient’s age, type of activity, lifestyle, anamnesis, current condition, localization and size of the protrusion, stage of the disease. When all indicators are taken into account and an individual treatment plan is developed, a positive result is achieved in 95% of cases.

Complex therapeutic massage

A comprehensive massage of the back in general and the thoracic region in particular gives a good therapeutic effect. To relax the muscles and adjust them to the optimal load, the massage complex is prescribed before kinesiotherapy or traction on the Cypress simulator.

After the implementation of the VKT procedures or traction, the massage can be repeated. This provides a positive therapeutic effect. The specialists of the “Spine Ambulatory” network are proficient in various techniques of restorative massage.

Medical apparatus “Cypress”

The device for the treatment of protrusions “Cypress” provides a significant therapeutic effect. It helps to reduce pain symptoms, eliminates protrusions and muscle hypertonicity, corrects and strengthens the spine. One of the features of the effect of MP “Cypress” is traction (traction), which is carried out in a sparing mode without the use of additional load. The medical device gently corrects the vertebral joints, returning them to a physiological state, eliminates displacements and possible infringements of nerve endings. Due to systematic exercises, the back muscles are strengthened, a muscular corset is created, posture is restored.

VKT (restorative kinesiotherapy), mechanotherapy

Kinesiotherapy is a special physiotherapeutic procedure aimed at the rehabilitation of the musculoskeletal system. It is used to restore motor activity, strengthen the body with pain symptoms of protrusion, in the postoperative period or after injuries. Mechanotherapy is used to eliminate pain through exercise on simulators.

Manual correction

Manual correction is a technique for treating functional ailments that have arisen as a result of protrusion. The main techniques are segmental massage, mobilization and push manipulation. Only an experienced physical therapist should perform manual correction. It is these specialists who work in the “Spine Ambulatory” centers.

Disease prevention

Physiotherapy and massage for pain relief

The doctor draws up a complex therapeutic course, during which gentle physical activity alternates with a rest (relaxation) stage. Rehabilitation sessions are aimed at the formation of a muscular corset without overload. The patient is advised to balance the diet, which contributes to the normalization of metabolism. For sleep, a high-quality orthopedic mattress and pillow are recommended.
