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....
