The disease is characterized by degenerative-dilatic changes, expressed in individual vertebrae and spine as a whole.The osteochondria develops "saltless" - osteophytes (hooks, bone increases).The spine becomes similar to a bamboo cane in shape and becomes rigid.The vertebrae take the seddle configuration.The properties of intervertebral discs are reduced, gradually reducing the distance between the vertebrae, tightening nerve roots.The edema is formed, which leads to further limitation of the root nerve, increasing the pain.
Five vertebral vertebrae lumbar spine receive a huge load daily, regardless of lifestyle.
The lumbar spine osteochondria is caused by catastrophic changes and can occur in any part of the musculoskeletal system.In the absence of treatment, the disease will greatly complicate life, which is full of deterioration in the patient's condition.
The causes of lumbar spine osteochondicity are:
- hypothermia and/or overheating.
- Natural stress (injury)?
- heredity;
- congenital defects;
- Scoliosis at an early age.
- Incorrect metabolism.
The degenerative manifestations of osteochondicism occur due to loads.In the danger zone - overweight people and regular hard work.Everything worsened by a sedentary lifestyle.The lifting of weights and irregular walks will only increase the defect applied to the car rash on the spine.Any illegal load can lead to the appearance of osteochondicity or protrusion.
One of the common reasons for the development of lumbar osteochondrying is injury.The tendency to form osteochondry occurs in professional athletes.Osteochondicism and symptoms of the sanctuary develop due to inappropriate nutrition, the non -systematic status of the day.The pattern of disease development in people with chronic lack of sleep, violation of metabolic processes can be distinguished.The intervertebral discs in such people really have a porous, relaxed structure and require treatment.
Osteochondria is associated with age and is more commonly diagnosed in old age.For many years of life, vertebrae and intervertebral discs lose high mobility and flexibility, become unstable in traumatic agents.
The last decade of "UNGEL" osteochondry is a high percentage of cases of osteochondry in men and women under 30 years of age.
The severe level of lumbar spine pain is observed in patients suffering from inflammatory diseases of the joints, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing vertebral breast.Such a pathological condition complicates the course of the disease.

The main task of treatment is to stop the progression of the disease and the gradual forced return of the spine to an anatomical position.The degeneration of intervertebral discs occurs due to problems with muscles in the lumbar region.This muscle structure "holds" the spine and back muscles, largely providing the appropriate posture so necessary for a healthy spine.
