How a chiropractor can help solve a herniated disc problem 

The problem of hernia in people is associated with a sedentary lifestyle. Our joints and spine do not have their own circulatory system, they are supplied with nutrients through diffusion from surrounding tissues. If we do not move, the cartilage tissue cells begin to suffer, decreasing in size, losing elasticity and former functionality. With any physical exertion (lifting something heavy), an unsuccessful fall or a sharp turn of the body, the fibrous ring breaks, the contents of which come out, being called nothing more than a hernia. A hernia does not occur in one or two days, the destruction of the fibrous ring occurs over several years.

spine

compresses the sciatic nerve and the person experiences severe pain – in this case, surgery is required.  I am in favor of trying to avoid surgery. We can always cut. No self-respecting surgeon will give a 100% guarantee.

  During the operation, a protruding piece of cartilage that has come out of the fibrous ring is cut off to a person. This manipulation leads to decompensation, the cartilage will not recover. As a result, after a few years, depending on the lifestyle, either higher or lower,

intervertebral hernia

.  Another risk of the operation is that it is performed in the area of ​​the spinal cord, which can cause

associated complications.  How to prevent back pain

"The back needs to be worked on. We are constantly faced with laziness.

The chiropractor straightens the

spine

and removes functional blocks, after which the person feels better. But the symptoms may recur after a couple of months – why? This is due to non-compliance with further recommendations of the chiropractor. After completing a course of manual therapy, you must continue to do your back yourself. You need to play sports, strengthen the muscular frame. It is necessary to observe proper nutrition, takes care of the nutrition of cartilage tissue. If the patient is overweight – it needs to be reset.   

Oleg Savinov highlights two key activities that will help maintain a healthy spine:

Spine and muscle stretching. Lie on the floor, stretch the spine, make a boat.

1. 
   
   Physical exercises to strengthen the muscles of the back, the press, which keep the spine upright. For this, the exercise "Rack" is well suited. or Planck.

Causes of spinal problems:

Uncomfortable, sagging sofa for sleeping

• Wrong nutrition
• Overweight
• Uncomfortable chair
• Lack of physical activity on the muscles and spine
 
• Inability to properly lift some weight
• Laziness

"If you have a hernia, you need to change your lifestyle. We are all very lazy. A person has a choice – either take care of your back and visit a chiropractor once a year, or do not follow the recommendations and be his regular patient.

The back is made up of the spine and intervertebral cartilage, where problems arise. To support the health of the back, it is desirable to include preparations with chondroxide (capsules, injections) in the diet that help restore cartilage tissue. 

"I am a supporter of the fact that everything is natural – better. I recommend that my patients buy a piece of pig's ear, which will provide the body with cartilage for the whole day. It is necessary to introduce a small dose of chondroxide into the diet, that is, cartilage tissue, which will gradually restore the intervertebral

cartilaginous tissue.

  How a chiropractor can help with cellulite

Cellulite

 occurs for many reasons

– due to small hormonal disruptions and changes, malnutrition, a sedentary lifestyle. Cellulite occurs due to the fact that the subcutaneous fatty tissue begins to grow with connective tissue, which causes formations on the skin in the form of dimples, blue.  Having discovered the formation of cellulite, it is best to contact an endocrinologist who will analyze if there are any failures in the body.

 

 

 

In the fight against cellulite

 

, a chiropractor can help by doing lymphatic drainage of the legs. The procedure gives an instant, but not long-term result – the volume of the hips decreases by 3-4 cm. The essence of this procedure is that liquid is removed from the legs, but a day later, after a person has consumed the liquid, the volume of the hips takes on its former shape. “Everything needs to be solved comprehensively. We need to find out if you have any violations.

You can do self-massage, which will help break down the subcutaneous adipose tissue. Taking a hot shower, with a hard washcloth or self-massager, you can smooth the thigh area by lubricating it, for example, with aromatic oil. A good solution would be to go to the gym to strengthen muscle tone and movement, which is now so lacking in the conditions of modern life. 

Movement and proper nutrition are the key to a healthy back. With a sedentary, inactive mode of the day, every half hour you can walk a little, easily stretch your back muscles. Regular static back exercises and stretching for 20 minutes a day for a year contribute to better well-being and overall back health. Don't be lazy!
