Manipulation

  Dorsodynias became presently the phenomenon usual and almost self-evident. The
reason - backbone diseases, in particular an osteochondrosis. This illness is
considered one of the most widespread in the modern world, and people of all age
are subject to it. 
    Today we will tell about some receptions of manipulation intended for independent
use by patients. These receptions are often prescribed for the purpose of fastening of
results of treatment and preventive maintenance of exacerbations of diseases of a
backbone and joints. Names of receptions begin with "auto-" that means "itself". For
example, automobilization - mobility restoration rhythmical swing movements or
extension of muscles in special positions with use of gravity of a head and extremities;
automanipulation - elimination of functional blocking (reversible restriction of mobility
of joints of a backbone and extremities) the fast short movement which is carried out by
the patient independently, without the aid of the doctor. 

    Lumbar department of a backbone
 
    One of most often used receptions - automobilization lumbar department of a backbone
rotation (turn) in a prone position. Lying edgewise (in this case on right) at edge of a
couch or enough rigid bed, the left foot incurvate so that foot has laid down on a knee
of the right foot, and the knee hanged down for couch edge; the left arm on an inspiration
rises upright upwards, and on an exhalation is taken away as much as possible back, thus
there is a case turn; the view follows arm movement, and the head turns, strengthening case
turn. 
    Such position frames a tension of lumbar department of a backbone in a direction of
turn round a longitudinal axis. Having reached a limit of amplitude of turn, do rhythmical
rockings by an arm back. Keeping this pose, it is possible to put a palm of the right arm
on a knee of the left foot and, easily and rhythmically pressing downwards, to shake a foot,
enlarging a spine column rotary motion. In the same position it can be carried out
automobilization by means of a postisometric relaxation of muscles (a relaxation of muscles
after a preliminary strain): the deep inspiration and breath is taken is late for 4-8
seconds; during a breath holding the knee of the incurvated left foot easily presses upright
upwards on a palm of the right arm, showing resistance to pressure; then on a muscle
exhalation are relaxed also a knee falls, enlarging amplitude of turn of lumbar department
of a backbone round a longitudinal axis. The cycle repeats 3-6 times, beginning each time
with border of the reached amplitude of movement. Reception helps at the mobility restriction,
an accompanying painful syndrome - chronic back pains, promotes improvement of a local
circulation and a food of tissues that positively influences the basic pathological process. 

     Cervical department of a backbone
 
    Other popular reception manual therapies - automobilization the top part of cervical
department of a backbone in rotation (rotation): slightly having inclined a head forward,
one arm clasp a cinciput, and other arm rest sideways against a chin from an opposite side,
turn a head and, having reached borders of amplitude of this movement, carry out cautious
rockings in a rotation direction. It is possible to carry out to some patients a little push
from this position automanipulation rotations in top of cervical vertebrathe backbone
department, accompanied by the characteristic sound reminding click. 
    Let's underline that any receptions of manipulation used independently, demand care.
The important rule: they should be carried out without serious consequences. It is necessary
to remember that these receptions possess, as a rule, the expressed action, which in itself
can be double: positive and, at inept performance, - negative. In all cases when after
independent performance of receptions of manipulation of a pain are not weakened, it is
necessary to consult urgently with the expert. In early terms of such reference at performance
by the doctor correct manual corrections can be counted on minimising of results of not enough
skilful selftreatment.... 

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis - the disease not so much dangerous on the most semiology, how many fraught

with very unpleasant consequences. At an osteoporosis there is a reduction of density

of an osteal tissue therefore bones become fragile, fragile. The slightest trauma

which hardly seriously would damage to the healthy person, will lead to fracture in

a case with the patient (and more often - the patient) an osteoporosis. The most

frequent - and artful - are fractures of a neck of a hip at women after 65 years.

The reasons of development of an osteoporosis

Principal causes of this disease - hormonal disturbances and a disadvantage of

calcium of an organism. Are most of all subject to an osteoporosis of the woman in

a menopause as climacteric hormonal instability often appears enough adverse and frames

high risk of disease. In particular it concerns the people conducting an unhealthy way

of life. Incorrectly balanced food leads to a disadvantage of calcium and the vitamin

D which is responsible for a structure and safety of an osteal tissue. Smoking and alcohol

complicate mastering of calcium by an organism. The sedentary life and insufficient

physical activity also promote both fragilities of bones, and the bad coordination leading

to traumas. An additional risk factor for women is footwear wearing high-heeled.

It is always important to remember that the best treatment is a preventive maintenance.

In a case with an osteoporosis this statement is true doubly as the processes occurring

in an organism at such disease - are irreversible. It means that if you already have an

osteoporosis, it is possible to brake only its development, but it is impossible to

"condense" истончившиеся bones.

Osteoporosis diagnostics

The osteoporosis is diagnosed simply enough: reduction of density of bones leads to

growth loss. The person starts "to grow downwards". If you have noticed that your growth

became less, let even is insignificant, is already a signal about danger. If there was

a stoop which was not earlier, in particular, in a menopause - pay attention, probably,

it means that the backbone is bent as a result of an osteoporosis. The same concerns also

muscular pains in the field of a loin. In case of occurrence of any similar symptoms, it

is necessary to address necessarily to the doctor who will prescribe already more exact

diagnostics of osteal mass - a densitometry.

Osteoporosis preventive maintenance

To warn osteoporosis development, it is enough to carry out a complex of simple demands.

But to follow such demands it is necessary during all life.

First of all, it is the balanced food. At a ration there should be by all means milk

products and fish as they are the most comprehensible natural sources of calcium. And here

it is important not to go too far in salt, as surplus of salt promotes deducing of calcium

from an organism. Caffeine, more is adverse also than alcohol is harmful from the point of

view of risk of occurrence of an osteoporosis. In case кальциесодержащие a foodstuff does

not satisfy requirement for this element, the use of preparations of calcium (in particular

it effectively in bond with the vitamin D which is responsible усваиваемость of calcium) is

possible. But here it is important not to be overzealous: excess too can do much harm,

therefore, before to accept tablets, it is by all means necessary to consult to the doctor.

Other important demand - presence of reasonable exercise stresses. However, attention:

playing sports can be only preventive maintenance, but not treatment as some exercises are

contraindicative by a sick osteoporosis. Therefore try to accustom itself since an early

youth to exercise stresses that to age of the greatest risk of occurrence of disease, the

skeleton structure has been strengthened by regular sports employment, and for an organism

the physical culture was habitual. If in more early age what is closer by advanced years is

very good to be engaged in the kinds of sports accurately referred on development of muscles,

and safe the exercise stress should be especially soft. But it is not necessary to interrupt

completely playing sports until health allows to remain in shape not to lose a muscle tone

and not to suppose development of an osteoporosis as a result of sharp change of a sports

regimen. Perfectly will approach for any age of exercise and jogging in the open air: In this

case, except an exercise stress, on you - and against an osteoporosis - vitamin D works.

Medicinal therapy

In case the osteoporosis has already developed, or if at the woman in a menopause strong

fluctuations of a hormonal background are observed, hormonal replaceable therapy can be

prescribed. That is, the disadvantage of sexual hormones of an organism, participating in a

bone structure, is filled at the expense of artificial introduction of these hormones in an

organism. For patients, in particular, for women in a menopause and a postmenopause, such

treatment - not only a way of struggle against an osteoporosis, but also considerable aid from

the unpleasant sensations bound to the climacteric phenomena. However, it is not necessary to

forget that the intervention in endocrine system is always fraught with by-effects, not always

the predicted. Therefore, as a rule, hormonal therapy is applied at serious forms of disease,

and at lungs it is preferable to be limited to reception of preparations of calcium and vitamin

D. The calcitonin, Bionatrii phosphases are accepted also, but also in this case there are

undesirable by-effects.

If the osteoporosis has been diagnosed at an early stage, probably to be limited to a diet

with the big maintenance of calcium in a ration and the easy exercise stresses referred on

strengthening of a backbone and an osteal tissue as a whole. In any case if at you the

osteoporosis has already developed, let and small, necessarily compound a sports regimen with

the doctor not to do much harm to itself.

It is important to remember: how there were circumstances, to warn such disease as an

osteoporosis much easier and more pleasantly, than to treat it then....

Kinesitherapy

Unique method, in which basis - the new approach to treatment of such difficult diseases

of a backbone as a discogenic radiculitis (a hernia vertebral a disk), the

osteochondrosis, etc., becomes more and more known both in capital, and behind its

limits. Thus it "ideologically" disperses from those principles by which the traditional

medicine is guided. Already for many years its author proves the right to existence of

the child, on the one hand, the accurate scientific concept, with another - successful

medical practice.

Basic principles of a method

The orthodox neurology surveys dystrophic processes in an osteal tissue of vertebra

and cartilaginous - intervertebral disks as a principal cause of disease by an

osteochondrosis, thus it simply ignores a condition of muscles and ligaments. The

nonconventional technique, on the contrary, recognises that a releaser of similar

diseases two reasons closely bound among themselves are. The first - an ischemia

(a food disadvantage) the is muscular-connecting tissue, the second - a hypokinesia

(a disadvantage of a correct physical strain). In the course of time muscles and ligaments

lose the volume and elasticity and consequently, cease to be "the transport" delivering

necessary substances and bones, and disks. A food of an osteal tissue is promoted by

reduction of muscles. The disadvantage of such reductions gradually leads to dystrophic

changes which are at the bottom of an osteochondrosis, and then and a discogenic

radiculitis. Therefore the primary goal of the offered method is overcoming of an

ischemia of a muscular tissue by means of its including in work. Thus, at restoration

of working capacity of muscles of a back the cause of illness, instead of its consequence

is eliminated.

What is the kinesitherapy?

It is necessary to notice what to frame this unique technique of aftertreatment

experts have allowed many long years. It has been named by a kinesitherapy, from Latin

- movement. The kinesitherapy is a treatment by movement and special loads.

Also the technique includes systems of correct breath, a food and hydrotherapeutic

procedures. Thanks to such approach it is possible to cure, apparently, fatal cases.

Now the medical centre applying a kinesitherapy, helps the people sentenced to difficult

operations of a backbone, to find health. It is a lot of sceptics from official medicine

only make a helpless gesture - too peculiar and impressive results of treatment of

the illnesses, which else yesterday to much seemed insuperable

Rachiocampsis

Even more often there are the advertisements offering fast correcting
of any rachiocampsises. The decision of this problem unknown to a science
is really really found hitherto?
Search of the universal method, allowing to eliminate rachiocampsises,
it is conducted from an extreme antiquity. Still Gippokrat treated a
scoliosis (a lateral rachiocampsis), pressing on camber of a back in
the field of a curvature at simultaneous extension of a backbone. In
later managements on orthopedy there are descriptions of the receptions
very reminding methods of manipulation. But up to the middle of the XX-th
century the scoliosis nature was unknown, and methods of treatment had
no scientific substantiation. Therefore and results quite often were
negative, the Great number of complications spoke also that the doctors
having primitive representations about a structure of a backbone and
applying rasping receptions were engaged in "correcting" of curvatures.
In the beginning of the XX-th century professor Mikulich wrote:
" It is necessary to warn public against loud advertising, which... Promises
a full recovery in everything, even the most serious, scoliosis cases.
Not to mention losses of money and time, poor children are exposed to the
excruciating treatment which is not giving any result ". Unfortunately,
the present situation forces to recollect this caution. Attempts to treat
a rachiocampsis sometimes are undertaken by insufficiently qualified experts
in manipulation that leads to an unreasonable and illiterate choice of
methods of treatment of a scoliosis and, hence, enlarges quantity of
complications.
Rachiocampsis angle at a scoliosis - composed structural and functional
components. The basic structural component is an azygomorphous form of
vertebra. The functional component is a reversible shorting of ligaments
and muscles, asymmetry of a muscle tone, etc. the Structural component of
a curvature is enlarged during growth of vertebra and can be reduced also
in the course of growth. Therefore attempts mechanically to "straighten"
a rachiocampsis are senseless.
"Management" of growth process - a short of scientifically well-founded
approach to treatment of scolioses.


Effect at one o'clock


Visible approximately decreases of a rachiocampsis at children by means
of manipulation receptions happens easy to achieve for very short time
interval. But these inspiring results are deceptive, as "straightening"
is carried out only at the expense of elimination of a functional component
of deformation owing to what the effect of correcting of a posture remains
from several minutes about several days. True reduction of deformation of
vertebra can be reached only at long and persevering treatment throughout
all period of growth of the child with obligatory use of all necessary
components of a complex of orthopedic treatment. Manipulation should not be
surveyed at all to alternatively tested orthopedic techniques, and can become
only important addition to a complex of orthopedic treatment. It will not
replace the surgical intervention which is required at started cases a
scoliosis. The basis of a complex of nonsurgical treatment of a scoliosis is
made medical gymnastics, корсетирование, by massage, an electrical stimulation
of the muscles, the sparing impellent regimen providing restriction of loads
on a backbone. The manipulation used in an abruption from a complex of
orthopedic actions, cannot become effective enough method of treatment of
a scoliosis. Errors can lead to serious consequences. Therefore for
successful application of manipulation in treatment of rachiocampsises high
qualification of the expert is especially important....

How to choose an orthopedic mattress?

At a choice of an orthopedic mattress it is necessary to
understand what mattress name orthopedic, what functions
are carried out by an orthopedic mattress how to choose
the sizes of the mattress, what type of a mattress to choose
and with what excipient how to choose rigidity of an orthopedic mattress.

What mattress name orthopedic?

Mattress keeping backbone of the person in direct
position during all time of lying, name an orthopedic mattress.
The mattress should be: elastic that under body weight
blood vessels did not suffer; elastic to support a body,
allowing muscles to be relaxed; ventilated that it is
good to pass air and a moisture.

The basic functions of a mattress orthopedic

Body support is an ability of a mattress to maintain weight
of a body and to support a back of a straight line during a
dream, relieving you of dorsodynias. Function of support in
a mattress the mattress basis, that is spring or latex carries out the block.
The comfort is an ability of a mattress to correspond
to the body form, providing constant positions of a body
during a dream that reduces quantity переворачиваний bodies
during a dream. The comfort is provided with layers of
excipients and a quilted plane.

Choice of the size of a mattress

Head and feet should not rest against mattress edge. The length
of a mattress should make the sum of length of your body plus
of 20 sm (on 10 sm from each party, for feet and a head). On width
the single mattress for the adult person should make a minimum
of 80 sm, and double - 140 Each additional centimetre in width
see adds a place for movement of arms, a body and feet and
consequently adds comfort to your dream.

Spring and springless

Example of a mattress without the spring block - a monoblock
from artificial or natural latex. Also as an excipient use for
example coconut койру and the horsehair is more rare. The
mattresses filled with air or a liquid also concern springless
mattresses.
The spring block can consist of dependent springs ("Bonnel").
Mattresses with the block from independent springs, each of which
is placed in a separate saccule made of cloth and works
independently from each other, carry out the best support
and cost more expensive. Independent springs provide
"individual approach" to different sites of a human body.
Such mattress allows a backbone to remain in natural
position during lying. Spring mattresses have additional
layers which are responsible for such properties of a product
as softness, rigidity, elasticity and so forth 256 springs
on square metre - the standard for the majority of independent
blocks. The most expensive models have some zones of
elasticity and are exclusively comfortable in use.
The mattress with independent springs - is ideal for two people
simultaneously sleeping on a mattress. There is no effect of "wave",
means people during a dream will not disturb each other.
Assemblage and resetting of a high-quality spring orthopedic
mattress demand careful handwork, therefore and the price for
it can exceed 30,000 rivers

Excipients of an orthopedic mattress

Felt concerns traditional excipients, пенополиуретан (foam rubber),
a synthetic winterizer, a wool. To modern - latex artificial and
natural, coconut койра, a horsehair, a material with effect of memory,
and also excipients developed by manufacturers on the basis of standard,
for example: Eurolatex, Waterlatex, Naturalform etc.
Orthopedic mattresses of an average and higher price category can
have apertures for ventilation which provide good air circulation
in a mattress design.

What rigidity of a mattress to choose?

Soft orthopedic mattresses

Soft mattresses provide necessary support and possess high
orthopedic properties. Softness of mattresses is reached at
the expense of elastic excipients, for example, artificial
or natural latex. Such mattresses will approach those who has
got used to sleep edgewise, and also to people with problems
of lumbar department of a backbone (for example, at a hernia
of an intervertebral disk), to older persons, and people
suffering diseases of vessels and joints.

Mattresses of average rigidity

In orthopedic mattresses of average rigidity elastic and rigid
excipients, for example a latex layer are combined is supplemented
with a thin layer coconut койры that gives to an orthopedic mattress
additional elasticity. Fans to sleep on a back on advantage will
estimate these models. At good elasticity of a surface the mattress
possesses magnificent supporting properties that is necessary
at problems of thoracal department of a backbone.

Rigid orthopedic mattresses

Rigid mattresses provide good support in тазовой and cervical
area of a backbone. In them mainly rigid excipients, for example,
coconut койра are used. Such mattresses will approach those who
has got used to sleep on a stomach, and also that at whom problem
with thoracal department of a backbone, and to children, and adolescents.
