It is important to take timely measures to identify and then treat the disease, otherwise, partial or complete loss of sensitivity of the limbs is possible if the disease affects the spinal cord.
Reasons for the appearance of
The human spine consists of vertebrae, between which are disks that prevent friction.
They contain a gel-like fluid that serves as a lubricant.
With excessive pressure between the vertebrae, the fluid is squeezed out and affects the nerve endings that give the signal in the form of pain.
The flexibility of the spine is lost, and some movements cause discomfort and pain. Also, ligaments connecting vertebrae are torn, which leads to acute pain.
Typically, such pathologies develop in the most vulnerable areas:
- loin and neck.
Consider the main causes of hernia development:
- with age , natural destruction and weakening of all organs and tissues of a person occurs;
- physical activity - increased stress on the spine causes acceleration of the wear process of the discs;
- injury - as a result of physical impact, the vertebrae or discs are destroyed, which leads to osteochondrosis and the formation of a hernia;
- anatomy - the tendency to the formation of disorders between vertebrae can be associated with congenital anomalies, that is, genetically inherent from birth;
- low physical activity - the disease develops with a sedentary lifestyle and undeveloped musculature of the back, as nutrition and metabolism in the spine occurs through the muscles( the better the muscles develop, the faster they feed tissues through them);
- hormonal disorders - the failure of hormones that regulate the development of the whole body, causes disruption in the structure of the spine, making it vulnerable to pathologies;
- sedentary work - constant presence in one posture provokes congestion of tissues and deformation of vertebrae;
- excess weight - a large mass of the body, causes high loads on the vertebrae, so they quickly wear out and collapse;
- too active way of life - constant presence on the legs is also harmful to the spine, as it is under constant voltage, which causes the development of defects.

They are found in poultry meat, beef, fish and fruits with vegetables.
Harm brings smoked, canned, fatty foods, the use of which is recommended to limit.

Back massage will help keep your spine toned, as blood circulation in the vertebrae and muscles improves, helping to nourish and regenerate tissues.
Comfortable shoes will help to smooth the gait and reduce the burden on the back.

Sleeping on a hard bed. A soft bed does not allow the back and spine to relax.
