Types of osteochondrosis

Spinal osteochondrosis is a chronic disease that leads to degenerative-dystrophic changes in the intervertebral discs, vertebrae and surrounding tissues. The disease can affect the entire spinal column or some of its parts: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral.

You can purchase a voucher to a sanatorium for the treatment of osteochondrosis if any part of the spine is affected, in order to relieve inflammation and restore freedom of movement with the help of sanatorium-resort treatment.

Osteochondrosis of the cervical spine

Excessive load on the spine, injuries, metabolic disorders, gastrointestinal pathologies, abnormal development of the spine, stress and other negative factors can lead to damage to the intervertebral discs of the neck. Osteochondrosis in this case can manifest itself as dizziness, numbness of the hands, pain in the neck and shoulders, increased blood pressure, and loss of coordination.

Treatment of cervical osteochondrosis consists of drug and non-drug therapy. Doctors recommend regularly taking massage courses, doing physical therapy, monitoring your diet and maintaining a sleep schedule. This entire complex can be obtained while staying at the Kazakhstan Sanatorium.

In the Sanatorium, electrophoresis, magnetic therapy, laser therapy, therapeutic baths and showers are used to treat cervical osteochondrosis. The procedures improve blood circulation in the cervical region and relieve tension, thereby reducing the likelihood of spasms and headaches, normalizing sleep, and eliminating the feeling of causeless fatigue.

Osteochondrosis of the thoracic spine

The pathological condition of the osteochondral tissue of the thoracic spine leads to irreversible changes in the intervertebral discs. Osteochondrosis can cause pinched nerves, cause intercostal neuralgia, pain in the back and heart area.

Treatment of osteochondrosis of the thoracic region involves relieving symptoms, improving blood circulation, and eliminating the causes of the disease. In addition to drug therapy, lifestyle modification, proper balanced nutrition, and sufficient physical activity are required.

Spa-resort treatment of thoracic osteochondrosis is a complex of procedures: balneotherapy, physiotherapy, mud therapy, hirudotherapy, etc. At the same time, sticking to a diet and a healthy lifestyle in the Sanatorium is much easier: our chefs prepare delicious dietary dishes, the voucher includes a visit to the pool, and in your free time you will find something to do with health benefits.

Osteochondrosis of the lumbar region

The most common form of osteochondrosis is lumbar, because the lower back bears a large load. Treatment of lumbar osteochondrosis is prescribed taking into account the stage of the disease and is aimed at relieving pain and reducing inflammation. For this, medications are usually used: analgesics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants, chondroprotectors.

The Sanatorium primarily uses natural factors, physiotherapy, balneotherapy and physical therapy to treat lumbar osteochondrosis. With their help, you can not only get rid of unpleasant symptoms, but also prevent new attacks and the development of complications.
