Treatment of protrusion
Запись на консультацию
About the disease
The protrusion of the intervertebral disc occurs in 50% of people after 30 years.
Protrusion is the initial stage of the formation of herniated discs in the spine. It is important to note that the appearance of protrusion does not cause a discontinuity of the core of the intervertebral disc, but fibrous fibers are already damaged.
The reasons for the formation of protrusions are:
- various injuries of the spine (bruises at falls, strokes, road accidents);
- posture curvature – scoliosis, kyphosis and lordosis (as the asymmetric pressure appears on the disk when the correct posture is disturbed).
- osteochondrosis
- lack of movement or vice versa excessive physical activity
- age-related changes in the elderly
- metabolic disorders.
- smoking and drinking alcohol (thus cartilage is destroyed)..
Occurrence of protrusions is most often observed in the lumbar and cervical organs, rarely appears in the thoracic spine.
Lumbar protrusions may not appear very long. And only when the changes reach the nerve endings, then there is pain. Then there is muscle weakness, limitation of mobility in the lower back and numbness of the legs.
Protrusions in the cervical area appear as a result of metabolic disorders. The causes of such a violation may be diseases of the internal organs, age changes, infections with weakening of immunity or injury, as well as heredity and distortion of posture.
Prothronia in the lumbar-sacral division often occurs as a consequence of the appearance of degenerative or dystrophic processes.
In case of the first symptoms of protrusion (pain, limited mobility of the back and neck, numbness of the limbs, impaired sensitivity of the hands and feet), it is necessary to turn to a neurologist who will select the correct treatment under the control of the rehab.
Symptoms
The main symptom is the appearance of pain in the area of protrusion development.
Also, protrusion is accompanied by symptoms such as:
