Patient feedback
Anna: is familiar with the disease firsthand, this diagnosis was put to me in school.
And for several years now I've been doing therapeutic gymnastics every day and periodically massage. If you also have the same problem, then you just need to do therapeutic gymnastics, and this article will help you do it right with the greatest effect.
Vyacheslav: I have cervical osteochondrosis with high wear of C-4 - P-5, C-6 - C-7 disks. Twice I went to the hospital. The reasons - for a long time engaged in weights of 32 kg and more. Ointments do not help. Yes, I avoid them. Now, after regular gymnastics, the rate of blood flow from the left side came back to normal. I can lift the heaviness, but lying down.
Faith: I will definitely try, and then doctors, except their ointments and analgesics, do not write anything out! Thank you.
Hope: I also have osteochondrosis of the spine. I was diagnosed with this diagnosis at the age of 28 and the doctor prescribed anesthetic pills and sent them to massage the cervical spine. I then thought that if I at age 28 drink all this chemistry, what will happen to my body further? I did not buy anything at the pharmacy.
I keep myself in shape with exercises and massages. The main thing is that all the gymnastics for the cervical region should be performed smoothly and with a small amplitude, especially if the osteochondrosis is long-standing. I wish you all good health!
Alexander: Friends! I existed this way with my osteochondrosis, I did not think much about it, sometimes I drank analgesics, I was not treated at all. .. Until suddenly the cock did not peck: it bent me from the pain with such wild force and stopped helping the pills! It turned out that I have a hernia!
And these are completely different problems and other pains, such that it is better for you not to know. Now I go to the surgeon, he treats me and calms me, the doctor is golden. I hope you do not have to think about surgery. . So I advise everyone to be attentive to yourself.
