Apparatus for the treatment of the spine at home. Features and varieties of devices for the treatment of the spine. Physiotherapy has a direct effect

Influence magnetic field and electromagnetic radiation on the body with a therapeutic effect refers to scientifically proven facts. This principle is based on the use of some devices used for physiotherapy procedures in sanatoriums and medical institutions. If the device has a special certificate, its use after consultation with a doctor is possible at home.

Why do joints hurt

Joint pain is one of the most common complaints faced by healthcare workers. Causes of joint pain at any age, exists lots of but all diseases are common feature is the destruction of articular cartilage, in which the metabolism is disturbed in it, it dries up and becomes covered with cracks. In practice, it is quite difficult to determine the exact cause of joint pain, but they can potentially be caused by the following reasons:

Rheumatoid arthritis.
Common osteoarthritis.
Chronic overexertion of the joints due to excessive loads.
Generalized inflammatory pathologies of an autoimmune nature.
Inflammation of the joints due to or psoriasis.
Intoxication and infectious diseases.
Specific inflammation in the intestines.
Diseases of the circulatory system.

Widespread pain in the joints of the whole body often has a reactive origin due to the secondary nature of various diseases. Exceptions include common forms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis when only hyaline cartilage is affected.

What are the types of treatment devices?

Many joint diseases, for example, deforming arthrosis or arthritis, are difficult to treat with medications and physiotherapy exercises alone. Conditioning for an easier course of joint pathologies possible, if you regularly undergo special procedures. In the absence of the opportunity to visit resorts and hospitals, physiotherapy sessions can be done at home using the following devices:

Magnetic therapy device. Its effect is based on the scientifically proven fact of the impact of a magnetic field on a person. The principle of operation of such devices is to generate a low-intensity and low-frequency magnetic field, with the help of which local magnetic procedures are performed for a wide range of joint pathologies.

The magnetic field changes the charge of particles and radicals, affecting the speed of biochemical reactions and creating currents that change rheological properties lymph, blood, joint fluid, etc. It speeds up the metabolism in tissues, increases the permeability of cell membranes and detoxification.

Joint laser device. Its principle of action is based on the generation of low-intensity electromagnetic radiation, which affects the active centers in the body. In this case, depending on the model of the device, the impact is carried out by a constant red laser or a pulsed red spectrum. As a result, inflammation and pain are reduced, blood circulation is activated, and the body itself is given an incentive to fight the disease on its own.

All laser devices are divided into portable and desktop. At home, the first variety is more convenient to use due to its compact size. But desktop ones have wider diagnostic capabilities, and its operator must have medical education. There are also devices that combine magnetic and laser effects, for example, Milta.

Why can't vibration massagers be used?

Joint diseases are characterized by damage bone tissue and cartilage, in which their normal physical properties and integrity are violated. An attempt to treat such diseases with a vibratory massager is dangerous by aggravating the development of destructive processes, increasing edema and provoking further deterioration of the affected joint. Treatment with physiotherapy devices, such as Milta, Almag, Vitafon, etc., that generate a magnetic or electromagnetic impulse, does not have such disadvantages and is absolutely safe for the joints.

A course of treatment

When planning treatment with the device, be sure to consult with a physiotherapist., which will select the device needed in a particular case. Thus, during treatment with the Milta apparatus, the duration of exposure is up to 1 hour per day. The whole course consists of 10-15 procedures. The best time for a session is in the morning until 12 noon, while the procedures are carried out at the same time. After the end of the course of treatment, an interval of 2-3 months is made, after which the course is repeated. In total, at least 2 courses must be conducted during the year.

5.Hip joint.

6.Knee-joint.

7.Temporomandibular joint.

8.Joints of the fingers

8.Treatment of osteochondrosis

Devices for the treatment of joints have proven effective in the treatment of various diseases of the joints, eliminating pain and inflammation, promote tissue regeneration and the elimination of toxins formed during edema. But as an independent therapeutic agent, such devices are not used, but are part of complex therapy as a physical therapy device. Since such devices differ in the method of exposure and have contraindications before using them, be sure to consult a doctor.

(disease of the musculoskeletal system) is diagnosed by doctors relatively recently, but the number of patients is growing exponentially every day.

The main complaint is severe pain, or parts of the spine. There are several main reasons for the development of the disease:

Violation of posture due to prolonged sitting work (office workers, computer geniuses, accountants, etc.);
Sports injuries (heavy loads of professional athletes or uncontrolled frequency of training for beginners);
Disturbed metabolism (obesity or dystrophy), which adversely affects the patient's body weight;
due to accidents or genetic failures of the body.

Osteochondrosis of the musculoskeletal system is diagnosed in case of impaired nutrition of the intervertebral discs.

Blood does not flow to the cartilage, the vertebrae shifted by the load put pressure on the nerve trunks, the vertebral discs become thinner or thicken and lose their mobility. Torn cartilage is one hundred percent inflammation and operable.

Symptoms

Only a narrow-profile specialist should be trusted with the diagnosis of osteochondrosis. Doctors consider the main manifestations of the disease:

Infringement of the trunks of nerves in the lumbar region. Radiculitis pain can spread to the legs and genitals. In advanced cases, internal organs also suffer, dysfunction appears (constipation, incontinence). The muscles of the foot and hip lose strength, resulting in lameness when moving, as well as "slapping" when walking;
Pinching of the vertebral discs at the level of the sternum causes stabbing and pain under the scapula, taken by non-specialists for the heart. Observed;
Pain in the neck and upper shoulder girdle. disruption of blood circulation in the brain. The consequence is frequent, loss of balance, sometimes a change in the sense of taste. There is also a change in voice and uncontrolled pallor of the face, provoked by the outflow of blood.

Not so long ago, devices that treat osteochondrosis appeared. The principle of their operation is different, so we offer short review well-known technique and methods of its influence on a sick organism.

Classification of methods

Depending on the manifestations of osteochondrosis, the patient's condition and the causes that led to the disease, different therapy is prescribed. The devices work on the basis of various sources:

. A high-frequency magnetic wave penetrates the body to a depth of more than 5 cm, the effect is anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic. There is a normalization of blood flow and regenerative functions of the tissue;
Ultrasound. The penetration of such rays is deeper (up to 20 cm), the effect is aimed at biologically active points that stimulate the self-healing of the body. The main plus is the reduction of puffiness, but pain relief is not as fast as in the previous version;
laser beams. In this case, red rays accelerate the regeneration of damaged tissues, normalize metabolism, and have an anti-inflammatory effect. The healing process is accelerated precisely thanks to this method, however, more than 12 procedures are usually not prescribed;
Phonation. The most harmless method of influence with the help of sound vibrations. Relief comes due to improved blood flow and lymph flow, a decrease in puffiness and;
massage manipulations. The action is aimed at muscle relaxation and improvement of blood flow in diseased areas. The action of the devices is rather preventive or helping to early stages diseases.

Instrument overview

Patients suffering from pain in different parts of the spine often ask if there are devices against osteochondrosis that can be used to treat the disease at home, or should the course be taken only in the hospital and? Yes, such devices exist, let's get acquainted with them.

Devices for osteochondrosis of the cervical or, for example, lumbar, differ only in methods of exposure and size.

Devices for osteochondrosis "Almag" - work on magnetic impulses, affect the entire spine, are available for home use, have no age contraindications. Treatment of osteochondrosis with the Almag apparatus occurs due to a traveling magnetic field (Almag-01) or due to a low-frequency and low-intensity effect on the inflamed parts of the spine (Almag-02).
The Vityaz quantum apparatus is indispensable in the treatment of osteochondrosis. The principle of operation is a set of beams of different frequencies (laser, pulsed, magnetic). Small dimensions and instructions allow you to use the device yourself. A good option to influence cervical osteochondrosis and for the treatment of pathology of the thoracic spine.
"Osteo dance" - a device for the treatment of cervical osteochondrosis. Two-program device, consists of electrodes and remote control. Effectively relieves stress, helps with meteorological dependence, removes pain of varying intensity.
"Amin 02 sun" - ultraviolet irradiator. An outdated model that requires specialist advice and a supervised procedure. Most often used in sanatoriums, to improve general condition patient and increase the body's resistance.
Apparatus "Master" - developed at the enterprise of the defense industry. Has 14 modes, orange and blue radiation. In addition to manifestations of osteochondrosis, it is used to treat a number of diseases of the skin, respiratory tract, digestive system, postoperative scars and colds infections.

In conclusion, it must be said that any disease is easier to prevent than to cure. Therefore, you should take good care of your spine.

We will definitely tell you about them, but a little later. Now we will focus on the disease "intervertebral hernia".

CAREFULLY! INTERVERTEBRAL HERNIA!

Diseases of the musculoskeletal system (musculoskeletal system) are familiar to every tenth person on earth, and every third person experiences pain in the spine. The most common ailment is VERTEBRAL HERNIATION. There are many treatments for hernia. There are those that they say: "dead poultice", and there are operable interventions, but they have a lot of contraindications. Given that 70% of vertebral hernias are not operable, medical treatment with drug electrophoresis is by far the most in an efficient way. Usually, papain-containing drugs Karipain or Karipazim are used for this.

However, here it is worth noting the high cost of this physiotherapy procedure (a set of procedures) performed in a paid medical institution.

FREE MEDICINE - combining the unpleasant with the useless!

Of course, every citizen of Russia has a compulsory medical insurance policy, under which you can take a free course of electrophoresis. But just think about how many "circles of hell" you have to go through:

Long queues at the office, reaching, at times, up to a person. It takes an average of 15 minutes per patient. It is easy to calculate how long it will take you to get to the procedure. Having taken the queue at 8 am, God forbid, you will pass by 6 pm. If you come to the clinic in the afternoon, you will definitely not get the procedure.
“No” attitude of the doctor to the history of your illness and the same prescription of the drug. As they say, you will be treated with what is, and not with what would be better and more effective in YOUR case.
After the electrophoresis procedure, the patient is advised to rest in horizontal position under a warm blanket for at least an hour. In other words, having done the procedure, it is best for you to sleep. And what about sleep in a public clinic? We left the office and went home. The effectiveness of such treatment is reduced by a third.

PRIVATE CLINICS - a panacea for people with money!

If you have money, and a lot of it, you can take a course of drug electrophoresis in private clinic, which are now in abundance in the capital and in any city in the country.

Let's calculate how much money you need to complete the full course of treatment of vertebral hernias using drug electrophoresis. One electrophoresis procedure in Moscow costs about 2,000 rubles. For a full course, you need 20 bottles of Karipain (or 30 Karipazim), plus the services of a physiotherapist - these are more rubles. For many people, this amount is simply unbearable. Often, one course is not enough. On average, the treatment of an intervertebral hernia takes 3 courses - more than rubles in total.

Where to get such big money? Is there an alternative?!

THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE – VECTOR SETS for home use!

The idea of production and sale of ready-made kits for home use "VECTOR" was born relatively recently. These kits, despite their novelty, have already managed to make a real stir in medicine, opening up a new direction for home physiotherapy. The kits themselves are many times cheaper than a full course of electrophoresis in a private clinic. And most importantly, medical equipment will remain in your use forever! With its help, you can treat not only an intervertebral hernia, but also a lot of other diseases of the musculoskeletal system and not only. It's efficient, reliable and inexpensive!

Herniated disc

Treatment of intervertebral disc herniation with devices of LLC "KIRLENA"

Do you know that the most effective way cure for any disease is to eliminate functional impairment in the body that caused this disease? Pain in one or another place of the spine occurs due to a violation of the blood supply to the tissues of the spine.

Electrostimulators Patra and ESRV will restore the blood supply to the damaged area of the spine and the pain will go away. An electronic ESRV stimulator will restore peristalsis in the capillaries, the number of leukocytes in the intercellular space will increase significantly, and infection and accelerated tissue aging will be over. E The Patra pacemaker helps reduce pain, increase blood flow arterial blood into the spine, remove the "latch". See for yourself!

Devices for treatment

1. Reflex electrostimulators ESRV-01 and ESRV-02 restore peristalsis in the capillary networks of spinal tissues, thereby improving their blood supply. The electrical impulses in the electronic units ESRV-01 and ESRV-02 are the same, the differences are in the power supply system.

For the treatment of joints electronic unit ESRV-01 or ESRV-02 (Frosya) you need to connect one or another nozzle. Be careful when placing an order.

The Patra electromyostimulator consists of the Patra electronic unit, to which various electrodes can be connected, depending on the joint to be treated. The patra is powered by a Krona battery, but can be powered by a 220 V network through the IP-01 power source.

The price of the electronic unit Patrar.

The diagnosis of "Herniated disc" is often made based on the results of a doctor's examination of the x-ray images, when one of the discs is found to protrude in one direction or another from the normal position.

A herniated disc (protrusion or rupture) occurs both as a result of an acute spasm of the muscles of the spine, and independently after a traumatic effect (lifting weight, unsuccessful fall, jump, etc.). A herniated disc happens different kind and spinal injuries of varying severity.

Symptoms

With a hernia in the cervical spine characterized by pain in the occipital, interscapular regions, pain in the neck, especially during movements, limitation of its mobility, numbness of the fingers during sleep. Dizziness and flies before the eyes indicate that the process is involved vertebral arteries and impaired blood supply to the brain.

With a hernia in the lumbar region symptoms are subtle at first: a feeling of fatigue, sensations of slight pain when the torso is tilted forward, quickly disappearing after it is straightened. Over time, these sensations become more constant, prolonged, appear with laughter, coughing, sneezing. There are pains in the gluteal region, rear surface hips. The pain can be so severe that it does not allow you to turn over in bed on your own. When lifting weights, sudden movement, sharp unbearable pains may appear in the lumbar, gluteal regions, and in the legs.

The reasons

According to manual therapists and reflexologists, most "hernias" are the result of hypertonicity of the intervertebral muscles. The x-ray does not “see” the muscles, therefore it does not help to detect that some muscle is “latched” and causes the disc to bulge. Remove the "latch" (this is what chiropractors and reflexologists do) in most cases, the pain will disappear, and the disc will be "healthy and unharmed."

1. P problem in the cervical region

If there is a disc herniation in fact, then during treatment it is important to stimulate the blood supply to the damaged area of the spine in order to facilitate the delivery of “building” substances by the body to this area and the removal of waste. For this purpose, an electronic unit ESRV-01 or ESRV-02 with Su-jok nozzles and a biocompress BK-23 Collar are used.

For this purpose, an electronic unit ESRV-01 or ESRV-02 is used with Su-jok nozzles and a biocompress in the form of a Belt around the body (BK-07 ... BK-09; BK-12 ... BK-14 depending on the volume of the waist)

Fix the electrodes of the Su-jok nozzle on both sides near the place of pain, having previously lubricated the places under the electrodes with balm " Golden Star', or some other similar means. 3-4 hours a day for 20 days.

Skin under electrodes to reduce resistance electric current should be moistened with an electrically conductive gel, or a cloth soaked in salted water should be placed between each electrode and the skin. The duration of the procedure is 2 - 3 hours.

You can use both nozzles at the same time by connecting them to the electronic unit through the Crab connector. The duration of the procedure is 3-4 hours.

Crabrub connector price.

Treatment Kits

Set Patra-comfort (electronic unit Patra + Belt with a napkin)

Patra-comfort set with extension for large people (electronic unit Patra + Belt with napkin + extension)

The best effect is achieved by combining both methods of treatment. After the end of the procedure with Patra, they put on the lower back, for example, a BK-14 biocompress and connect it to the electronic unit ESRV-01 or ESRV-02 for 2-4 hours.

Tortured herniated intervertebral disc. No ointments helped, almost all caused allergies. I pushed through the operation as best I could. A dacha neighbor recommended using the ESRV-01 electric stimulator with a BK-14 belt. I slept in it almost every night. It got better, but the problem didn't go away. Reading once again a book about ESRV-01, I thought, what if I train my back muscles with the Patra electrostimulator. I went to the enterprise, consulted and started. Every evening, for 30 minutes, she lay on Patra's electrodes, held the device in her hands and adjusted it so that she could clearly feel the tension of the muscles and their relaxation. Then she put on BK-14, connected it to the ESRV-01 device and fell asleep. A month and a half later, I forgot about the hernia. I get into my husband's Zhiguli without problems, but before it was a whole procedure. To consolidate the result, I now use Patra and ESRV-01 every other day.

#2 Dubintsova, Krasnodar Territory

I want to thank you for the ESRV-01 device. My legs are back to normal now, my lower back is improving. In general, health is improving ...

#3 Yagupov, Saratov region

I continue with the pill and nose clip every other day. There are improvements with the rectal, once I leaned on my right side, it crunched, and I began to feel that my back was passing. The movement of the vertebra has become better, the pain disappears. All diseases were chronic, for 3 years I was disabled of the 2nd group due to a general disease, I had a stroke, atherosclerosis, my legs failed at the age of 62, now I feel better thanks to this device. If he had started treatment 5 years earlier, it would have been even better ...

#4 Myasnikova, Omsk

At the end of December, just under New Year, your device ESRV-01 came to me, in the kit there was only one nozzle - rectal. I am only 30 years old, and I have an old disease: in March I tore my back while working in a canteen. So this disease is a hernia on the spine, in the lumbosacral region, or rather, at its junction. Since I had only one nozzle, I moistened the sore spot with water, applied the nozzle, then applied a wet handkerchief folded in four, and a plastic bag on top, and turned on the device. I only kept it on for 40 minutes, as the instructions say. After the very first procedure, the pain that had plagued me for several days stopped, sometimes it even hurt to walk. Today is only the third procedure, but I'm already better, I will continue to apply the apparatus, maybe I will get rid of the hernia forever.

#5 Zheludkova Liliya Rihardovna, Balabanovo, Kaluga region.

Patra is our family doctor. Helps everyone. The husband was not a walker, but now he runs and mows the grass.

#6 Nikitin Yury Nikolaevich, Bezenchuk, Samara region.

I recently met a woman. My name is Aunt Tanya. Legs and back hurt. Just lying on the couch. I'll walk a little and on the sofa. She says to me: "I will cure you." Gave the device Patra. I did 10 sessions for only 30 minutes. She came, took away, their son-in-law fell ill. Now I walk and work. The legs do not hurt, especially the back, osteochondrosis. After all, I fell, now I walk, but before my head was spinning. In general, your technique helped me.

Treatment of an intervertebral hernia with a UVT device

Treatment of intervertebral hernia with SWT: shock wave therapy

Treatment of an intervertebral hernia with a UVT apparatus is the impact on the body of an acoustic shock wave that is outside the zone of susceptibility of the human ear (up to 16 Hz).

Where is UVT most commonly used?

In cosmetology. Here it is used to get rid of cellulite.

In medical institutions (with poor bone fusion after a fracture, in the treatment of osteochondrosis, with muscle pain).

Consider the advantages and disadvantages shock wave therapy more.

How shock wave therapy works

Shock wave therapy has been used in medical practice not so long ago (at the end of the 20th century). Its action is based on the influence acoustic wave, whose frequency is less than the lowest bass sound perceived by the human ear. In fact, it is an infrasonic vibration with great energy. A similar effect on your body will have the hands of a good massage therapist performing point tapping. The only difference is that the frequency of the acoustic wave during the work of a massage therapist will be less.

The impact of the shock wave on the body

The shock wave has the ability to propagate in tissues, fluids, muscles without delay. At the same time, it is inhibited by bone cartilage and some other dense tissues. When exposed to the body, it destroys the intervertebral hernia, ossificates (foci of tissue ossification), osteophytes (growths on bone tissue), and so on.

Specialists who develop devices for shock wave therapy claim that the wave penetrates to a depth of up to four centimeters. This is enough, for example, for the treatment of osteochondrosis of the spine.

At first, with the help of shock wave therapy, they treated chronic pain in the muscles. The waves acted where the area of the muscle was most tense. In addition to focused waves, infrared was also used to normalize muscle tone. sound waves, which contributed to the improvement of elasticity and metabolism in tissues.

Is there a proven benefit of shock wave therapy in the treatment of herniated discs?

Despite the fact that the treatment of intervertebral hernia with SWT has long been successfully used in practice, its positive effect has not yet been scientifically proven, and the mechanism of the impact of a shock wave on the human body is not fully understood and not studied.

What is needed to conduct full-fledged medical research in this area?

First of all, you need to select patients who will have approximately the same degree of damage to the vertebral discs, the same age and development of the body as a whole.

Then the patients are divided into two groups, each of which is given an MRI.

After passing one of the groups of shock wave therapy, a second MRI analysis is prescribed. The survey is conducted by an independent expert who will be able to process the results. If the reliability of the information (the effectiveness of the method) is proved, then it is necessary to make an appropriate conclusion.

In the event that the effect of shock wave therapy is justified, then we can say that SWT is an alternative to surgery.

Origins of the problem

But there will be no references or references to the studies themselves as evidence of the effectiveness of SWT. Why? Because such studies are very expensive, for all analyzes it is necessary not only to create conditions and a special program, but also to find specialists who will be involved in the study. Therefore, the medical community does not consider it appropriate to carry out them for one simple reason - why spend money when people themselves are willing to pay to undergo treatment of an intervertebral hernia with an SWT device.

Today, the cost of one session in the clinic for shock wave therapy is almost 1,300 rubles. The price of the device (even the cheapest - BTL-6000 SWT EASY, UK) reaches one million rubles.

This device acts on the hernia like a compressor, creating a “beater” effect. In the absence of clinical experience, domestic and foreign researchers disagreed about the definition of the final result of SWT for intervertebral hernia. Russian doctors write in the annotations to the device that the hernia "dries up", and foreign doctors say that it disappears as a result of the restoration of the body's tissues' ability to regenerate.

The truth, as always, is somewhere in the middle. It is known that after all, a hernia cannot “shrink”, it can also resolve, but it can shift or with the help of UVT it can literally be “knocked out” from its place, after which the hernia ceases to injure the root - the pain stops, and the person feels better. That is why, despite the popularity and good results after SWT procedures, they cannot be considered an alternative to surgical intervention.

Contraindications to SWT

There are a number of contraindications for the use of the shock wave therapy apparatus. So, it is not allowed to carry out therapy in the skull area. In addition, you can not use the device to influence areas of the body with large vessels. Plus, typical contraindications to physiotherapy are added to this:

the presence of a pacemaker.
SARS.
oncological diseases.
mental illness.
epilepsy.
blood clotting disorders.

It is important to remember that with back pain, it is important to identify the problem in the early stages. And this can only be done in a clinical setting.

Almag-01 for spinal hernia

Magnetotherapy with the ALMAG-01 apparatus is actively used as an auxiliary method for the treatment of intervertebral hernia. Being the result of a complication of osteochondrosis, this condition becomes the cause severe pain in the back and neck, mobility restrictions and neurological disorders. The use of the ALMAG-01 device for spinal hernia contributes to the development of a number of beneficial effects:

Anti-inflammatory effects on the nerve roots and tissues surrounding the spine;
Anti-edematous action of magnetic fields due to expansion blood vessels and increased lymph flow;
Analgesic effect by reducing the activity of inflammation and swelling;
Improving the nutrition of intervertebral disc tissues, which slows down their destruction and promotes regeneration.

Traditionally, the treatment of vertebral hernia was the prerogative of surgeons and chiropractors. The question arises - is it possible to use magnetotherapy for the treatment of such serious condition? Of course, this disease cannot be cured with ALMAG-01 alone, but it can be used as an auxiliary method of treatment to reduce unpleasant symptoms. In addition, pulsed exposure to magnetic fields is a good prevention of a number of other problems with the spine.

Reviews of experts confirm that with correct use apparatus for the treatment of the spine significantly reduces pain, stiffness of movements. After a course of magnetic therapy, neurological disorders may decrease and practically disappear - problems with sensitivity, numbness of certain areas of the skin. Most often, ALMAG-01 is used for the treatment of lumbar hernias, the second most common is cervical hernias.

ALMAG-01 should be used in the presence or suspicion of protrusion of the spine for long courses - in this case, the device will help. The duration of one session at the beginning of therapy is about 10 minutes, then it is gradually increased to 20. At acute pain and stiffness, it is allowed to use the device twice a day - in the morning and in the evening. For the prevention of hernia, one session per day at night is enough. The procedure itself consists in applying the inductor coils of the device to the affected spine, after which ALMAG-01 is connected to the network.

Before and after the session should be measured arterial pressure- if it decreases by more than 15-20% of the normal indicator for the patient, then the duration of the procedure should be reduced or the sessions should be done less frequently (for example, every other day). The course is usually days, after which a respite of days is required before the re-use of ALMAG-01. Treatment of intervertebral hernia with the help of magnetotherapy must be combined with other activities - massage, gymnastics.

Method of treatment of intervertebral hernia with Vitafon

We present the official method of non-surgical treatment of intervertebral hernia using medical devices Vitafon.

According to the doctor medical sciences, Professor of the Department of Nervous Diseases Litvinenko I.V.:

“The treatment of a herniated disc is like repairing a crossing over a raging river, when it is impossible to completely stop the flow of water ...

Most herniated discs can be rehabilitated without surgery, even if it is directed to the nerve root. For successful rehabilitation, it is important for several months to help the body relieve swelling and quickly restore the functions of the back muscles. With prolonged use of anti-inflammatory and decongestant drugs, side effects may develop. Therefore, the rehabilitation of a patient with intervertebral hernia is more appropriate on non-drug methods of therapy.

For effective removal edema and quick recovery back muscles, it is necessary to compensate for the deficiency of microvibrations in the tissues in the back area not due to muscle tension, but with the help of an external source. The procedure is called phonation and can be performed independently at home several times a day. This is a kind of micro-massage at the cellular level, which uses natural micro-vibrations for the body, corresponding to the maximum muscle tension. Phonation effectively improves lymphatic drainage and capillary blood flow, which contributes to the rapid reduction of edema, the restoration of back muscle resources and the improvement of regenerative processes. The effect of one procedure lasts for several hours, so phonation should be performed at least twice a day. For this reason, phonation devices are designed for independent use at home, no special training is required.

Phonation causes complex effects in tissues and allows you to fulfill the following important conditions for successful rehabilitation:

improvement of blood supply to the muscles of the back, nerve pathways and spinal cord;
reduction of edema and removal of dead cells;
prevention of the development of edema and congestion at night;
improvement of regenerative processes necessary to strengthen the weakened disc with healthy cells. (source http://www.vsegdazdorov.ru)

Conditions for the onset and development of the disease

A healthy spine, like the body, is made up of living cells. Bone, cartilage, intervertebral disc and other tissues are made up of living cells. Only living cells are capable of regeneration and full recovery. The accumulation of damaged cells leads to the development of degenerative-dystrophic changes and diseases.

The spine and joints are the basis of the musculoskeletal system and in movement experience significant shock loads that can be detrimental to cells. Protects the joints and spine from the damaging effects of impact loads Neuromuscular cushioning system by controlling contraction skeletal muscle. Many mechanoreceptors that control the position of the joints and vertebrae allow the nervous system to control the muscles in such a way as to ensure smooth movements and reduce shock loads by dozens of times. Without such depreciation, the joints and spine would degrade in a few months.

Even in the supine position and with complete relaxation, the neuromuscular cushioning system continues to perform protective function. With the help of a slight muscle tone, the joints and the spine are tightened, due to which the tissues receive the microvibration necessary for the release of lubricant, the removal of dead cells and tissue regeneration. This is especially true for dense bone tissue, intervertebral disc, articular cartilage. In a sitting, standing position, in motion, the work of the neuromuscular depreciation system is expressed in maintaining posture and in the smoothness of gait, running, and jumping.

Thus, diseases of the spine are directly related to the disruption of the system of neuromuscular depreciation. Accordingly, in order to cure them, it is necessary, first of all, to improve the functioning of this system. If this is not done, then it is difficult to count on a full recovery. After all, it is the lack of neuromuscular depreciation that can lead to the development of osteochondrosis even at a young and childhood age.

The reasons for the disruption of the system of neuromuscular depreciation are as follows. The neuromuscular cushioning system protects the musculoskeletal system as a whole, forcing the legs and back to bend along a very complex trajectory. The well-coordinated work of the muscles of the back, legs, and sometimes the arms is possible only with sufficient brain resources, good conductivity of the nerve pathways, and the presence of sufficient resources in muscle cells.

Muscles are controlled by nerve impulses coming from the brain and passing through the spine. General nervous exhaustion, muscle fatigue, impaired conduction of the nerve pathways caused by congestion and edema in the spine are the causes of a violation in the neuromuscular depreciation system. Depending on the nature of the action of loads and on which particular link in the system of neuromuscular depreciation is weakened to a greater extent, the place of the primary manifestation of the disease also depends.

Special attention to the spine!

The spine should be given special attention, because its poor condition can lead to the development of diseases. internal organs. Nerve pathways run through the spine that control internal environment organism. Violation of their conductivity due to edema is fraught with the development of complications. Therefore, after the disappearance of symptoms, it is useful to continue phonation to consolidate the effect and prevent the recurrence of the disease.

Purpose of phonation

The restoration of the area affected by the disease is carried out at the expense of the resources of the whole organism. Therefore, if the body has enough resources or can be increased, then a limited area can be completely restored. This requires the restoration of neuromuscular depreciation, the removal of dead cells from the affected area and their replacement with healthy ones, and the saturation of cells with resources. All these processes, which require the movement of substances and cells through tissues and blood vessels, occur in the body naturally, but their intensity is limited by their own microvibration resource. Compensation for this deficit is a necessary condition full recovery. With the help of phonation, one can largely compensate for the deficiency of microvibration in a given area.

Method of vibrosounding of the spine

Phonation is carried out in the supine position. During procedures in the area of the cervical spine, to install vibraphones, a pillow is placed under the neck and shoulders so that they fit snugly enough to the area of influence.

The procedures are repeated 3-4 times a day for the first three months, in the next - 2 times a day.

If there are problems in several parts of the spine (for example, osteochondrosis of the cervical region and intervertebral hernia in the lumbosacral region), one scheme is chosen for the most problematic area. With a moderate degree of degradation of the spine, it is possible to have vibrosound according to two schemes simultaneously, and on the same day vibrosound according to each of the schemes should be carried out with an interval of at least 2 hours.

It is very important to find time for 4 treatments per cervical region spine. For the unemployed, this is not a problem. For those who work, we recommend the following option: immediately after work, immediately before bedtime, after 5-6 hours of sleep and after another 2 hours immediately before leaving.

Procedures before bedtime and after sleep, it is desirable to carry out daily. Night treatment - very important condition prevention of complications.

If the user suffers hypertension, then during the procedures, blood pressure should be monitored before the start of the procedure and 30 minutes after its completion. It may change. The pressure must be maintained at an optimal level, when the best state of health and the highest performance are observed. When using antihypertensive drugs, phonation of the kidney area can cause an excessive decrease in blood pressure. In this case, it is necessary to adjust (reduce) the doses of drugs in order to maintain the pressure at an optimal level. In the case of an increase in pressure, with the appearance of dizziness or weakness, the duration of procedures on the spine is reduced.

In case of cardiac arrhythmia and after myocardial infarction, phonation of the thoracic spine is carried out according to scheme 10A of phonation methods (“Vonation in case of osteochondrosis, sciatica of the thoracic spine in case of cardiac arrhythmia and after myocardial infarction”): the effect on thoracic region(fields of influence E11, E2, E21) start with a minimum time (1 minute) and increase it very gradually by 1 minute every 3-4 days.

For the convenience of vibrophones or if there are difficulties with manual fixation of vibraphones on the affected areas, it is recommended to use special fixing cuffs: vertebral and waist, as well as additional vibraphones (in the case of using Vitafon-5 and Vitafon-2 devices) to use them only in these cuffs.

The use of Vitafon-2 and Vitafon-5 devices allows to reduce the total phonation time by 2 times!

Possibility of exacerbation

In the presence of chronic diseases of the spine, as a rule, after several procedures, they become temporarily aggravated. pain while increasing range of motion. This indicates the restoration of blood supply to the nerve pathways and is a positive change in the condition of the spine. The procedures do not stop. The more evenly the procedures are carried out during the day, the higher the effect and the lower the likelihood of exacerbation of pain.

The duration of the course largely depends on the severity, duration and nature of the disease. With herniated intervertebral discs, stable and complete rehabilitation will take from one to three years (depending on the severity of the disease and the completeness of compliance with additional measures).

Additional measures.

It is desirable to exclude shock and damaging loads on the spine:

do not carry weights of more than 5 kg;
do not overwork, a two-hour daytime rest is desirable;
minimize travel in transport, including in a car (or use a special protective shock-absorbing system), exclude cycling;
in the process of walking, monitor the smoothness and softness of the gait. Do not run or jump (especially landing on the whole foot, and not on the toe);
wear soft comfortable shoes.

Osteochondrosis of the spine is diagnosed in almost every person. Sad statistics indicate that the disease is “younger” and occurs even in adolescents. Therefore, the device for osteochondrosis can be relevant for any age.

There are many reasons for the start of osteochondrosis, but there are several main ones:

circulatory disorders;
changes in metabolic processes;
sedentary or overly active lifestyle.

The bottom line is that the spine is critical of any violation. So, prolonged sitting at the monitor inevitably forms cervical osteochondrosis and its complications. And elevated physical exercise seriously affect the health of the lumbosacral region. Nature determined that a person is obliged to give everything in equal proportions and therefore the body is extremely conservative. More often, due to such factors, it begins to thin structural fabric vertebrae weaken and wear out. The vertebra itself consists of a nucleus and annulus fibrosus, and it is important that the surrounding annulus retain its natural elasticity and strength.

Treatment of osteochondrosis is a lengthy process that will require patience and consistency. The peculiarity of the pathology and its consequences is that they are reluctant to respond to drug exposure.

There are only three such organs in the body that respond poorly to treatment:

liver;
pancreas;
spine.

In the treatment of the spine, the key importance is given not to drugs, but to exercise therapy and physiotherapy. That is why the device for the treatment of osteochondrosis at home often becomes a life-saving remedy for pain relief. The basis of physiotherapy is the effect of magnetic fields, electric waves on the body. Even acting locally, vibrations and waves are able to activate the hidden reserves of the whole organism.

However, the choice of such devices has become extensive, and advertising positions each as something unique and the best. Therefore, within the framework of the material, it is necessary to focus on the main devices of physiotherapy.

What does physiotherapy do for the spine?

Devices for the treatment of osteochondrosis at home are divided into several types according to the type of action:

based on magnetic field;
on vibroacoustics;
on electrical discharges.

To summarize, it is possible to use any of the devices for the treatment of vertebrae. The specialist can determine the sequence, based on the primary goals of therapy.

Physiotherapy has a direct effect on:

on the general well-being of the patient;
blood circulation improves;
the usual nutrition of tissues is restored;
toxins and decay products are removed;
are activated metabolic processes.

But it is especially important that the device for osteochondrosis of the spine improves the process of cell regeneration. Damaged discs begin to gradually strengthen, the pain becomes less aggressive, and the colors of life return to the person. Even a reduction in pain can restore a sense of fulfillment, as sick people suffer greatly.

Under the influence of such devices, the functions of blood vessels are additionally restored, which is critical for the nutrition of tissue trophism. The disturbances caused by malnutrition are minimized. This is especially true for the main brain, which suffers from a lack of nutrition as acutely as any of the organs. It is these consequences that the device eliminates from osteochondrosis, which makes it possible to achieve regression of the underlying disease.

Often, a combination of physiotherapy and therapeutic exercises allows you to almost completely eliminate the use of pills. However, an indispensable condition for such an effect: stability and long-term consistency. The more neglected the patient's condition, the more time is needed to stop progress. You need to understand: osteochondrosis is incurable, but it can be stopped in development and a long remission can be achieved.

Devices for the treatment of the spine

One of the brightest representatives of the Almag brand is the device for osteochondrosis Almag 01. The device consists of two parts: a separate unit and four linear indicators. When the device is turned on, a magnetic field is created and its pulses penetrate to the maximum depth of the cells. Indicators help conduction starts accelerated process regeneration and recovery. Almag is designed for periodic prevention of any part of the spine.

The use of Almag is possible in a number of other diseases, which may indirectly be a consequence of damage to the musculoskeletal system. So, with osteochondrosis of the lumbosacral region, the genitourinary system and intestines are involved in the process. Patients have pain not only in the back, but also in the groin. Almag improves nutrition at a deep level and protects tissues from pathological changes.

A device for the treatment of osteochondrosis at home, based on neurostimulation, is called Osteo Dance. Outwardly, it looks like a dense collar and consists of several electrodes. The device is controlled using a small remote control. Its presence greatly simplifies the process, allowing you to set the desired mode without additional effort.

The Dance device has two modes:

relaxation;
medical.

The relaxing mode can be used at any time on its own. The collar relaxes the cervical region, relieves painful spasm muscle layer. It is only important to choose the right degree of influence. The device has three options, each is used according to the stage of neglect of the state. The first two do not cause discomfort, however, when the latter is activated, painful sensations occur. This is necessary at a given intensity of the device and helps to have a deep effect on the muscles.

It is allowed to use the third level of the Dens device strictly after agreement with the attending specialist. In some forms of disease, such effects may be inhibited and worsen the condition. It is also necessary to stop using the device if during the procedure there is a rush of blood to the head or other unpleasant sensations.

This device of wide action, it is used for the treatment of osteochondrosis of any of the departments. It is also effective for relieving joint pain, especially with severe deformities of the shoulder and knee joints. The effect is based on the action of vibro-acoustic waves. Waves penetrate 8-10 cm into the body, activating the internal processes of the body. Vitafon acts on the state of the central nervous system, stimulates blood circulation.

Blood flow improves, which becomes a highlight. Blood removes toxins more actively, metabolic processes improve, the whole body “wakes up”.

Frolov's device is simple when compared with other analogues. At its core, the device is a simulator of calm and proper breathing. The principle is based on the fact that proper blood circulation independently provides nutrition for tissue trophism. This is the basis of any treatment of the lesion. skeletal system: only the full movement of blood provides the necessary enzymes and carries oxygen to each organ.

The device restores blood flow disorders using endogenous respiration. Everything else the body does on its own. Frolov's device is like a trigger system: it “pushes” the blood supply, helping the body itself “remember” its functions.

Devices for the treatment of osteochondrosis at home are different, each of them can be useful and helps to restore the lost quality of life. However, all of them, without exception, are useful only in combination with other types of therapy. It is impossible to get positive dynamics in the treatment of osteochondrosis without exercise therapy, without changes in lifestyle. You also need to accept that the therapeutic effect of the devices for short time is not achieved. The patient needs a lot of patience and use physiotherapy courses.

Today, such technologies are actively used in medicine. Yes, portable and lightweight ultrasound therapy machine 3rd edition allows you to independently conduct ultrasound therapy which allows you to refuse to visit doctors' offices. You no longer have to spend money on expensive procedures. Do not waste your time and be treated in a comfortable environment. Now you can determine the treatment time yourself. This device uses pulsed ultrasonic waves to speed up the recovery of the body and eliminate localized pain.

What is an ultrasound machine

This device operates on a pulsed wave - 1 MHz. Now you do not need huge specialized installations, which can only be used in the presence of a doctor. The transducer emits therapeutic ultrasound. There are three power levels - low, normal and high. They can be customized.

The device is designed to relieve pain - the device will help relieve pain and improve the condition of body tissues. Ultrasound of 1 MHz used in painful places allows effective therapeutic procedures to be carried out at a depth of up to 4 cm. The device automatically turns off after half an hour of use so that the body tissues do not overheat and are not damaged.

Rapid healing - an ultrasound-producing apparatus is used by physiotherapists to relieve patients of local pain, spasms, and various inflammations. Waves of ultrasound warming tissues improve blood flow, which speeds up the recovery of the body. Modern devices for home use will help get rid of pain, relieve spasm or inflammation, and even rejuvenate your body!

This portable device allows you to carry out home treatments using ultrasound. No need to waste time waiting for a miracle in queues to see a therapist. Now everything is in your hands. Just apply the ultrasonic gel in a small amount and ask a person close to you to carry out the procedure, you will get much more positive emotions!

Convenience and ease of use - such a device will allow you to conduct necessary treatment in comfort, you yourself will be able to determine the frequency of procedures using ultrasound.

What is included in the kit - the device for conducting ultrasound treatment: US-1000, AC adapter - 110/240 V, a case in which you can carry the device, ultrasound gel, instructions for use, 5-year warranty.

This device was created in accordance with all technical standards for therapeutic devices using ultrasound.

A portable massage device is capable of producing heat in the tissues, which is not perceived by the human body. In this case, a sensor is used, on which there are special sound crystals. The therapeutic effect of ultrasound on the human body has long been known. There is scientific evidence that this treatment is safe and effective for pain relief. Modern ultrasound machines for self-use emit waves of 100,000 vibrations per 1 second. (1 MHz), which reach tissue depths up to 4 cm. Taking into account this fact, we can say that this therapy is really effective in the treatment of injuries, pain and arthritis.

How this device works

The sensor, on which sound crystals are located, turns electricity into sound waves of therapeutic ultrasound; we do not hear these sounds. The portable transducer is able to focus the sound energy at the site where musculoskeletal pain is present, providing therapeutic effect and helping to heal tissues. The low frequency of ultrasonic waves, concentrating in a certain area of the body, provoke vibrations in the tissues, create heat, which allows you to get rid of muscle spasms, pain, and eliminate joint contractures. Convenient way ultrasound treatment helps to cure ailments more quickly, improve blood flow to tissues, saturate them with oxygen, it also allows tissues to relax and dissolve scars on them, in order to increase the level of mobility in the joints.

You can do the ultrasound treatment yourself. It is good for treatment various injuries, pain, cramps, fractures, pinched nerve. Important: ultrasound can be used for treatment close to the wound, only on intact tissues.

Application instructions

First you need to connect the wire to the outlet. Apply ultrasound gel to the painful area. After that, you need to press the switch and look at the power indicator, select the desired exposure power. Place the sensor on the painful area, in the place where the gel is applied and make circular movements with the sensor (approximately 2.5 cm per second). The device will turn itself off after 30 minutes. Press ON/OFF to turn off the machine before this time. At the end of treatment, use a damp cloth to wipe the body and transducer head.

Frequency of using the device: In the first two to three weeks, you can use the device no more than once or twice a day. As the pain subsides, the frequency of medical therapy should be reduced to three to four days a week. Remember that prolonged exposure to ultrasound can destroy tissue cells.

Contraindications

The ultrasound therapy device is designed to relieve pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures.

The device must not be used:

in places with oncology and where there are bone metastases;
in places of bone growth until the completion of their growth;
directly before the eyes;
over ischemic tissue;
those with poor blood pressure;
over the places where the carotid sinus, arteries or nerves are located;
over the larynx and pharynx;
in places open wounds or infection.

Due to the high biological activity of ultrasound during therapy, care should be taken. Positive results in the treatment of ultrasound were obtained in various diseases. The effect was achieved in the treatment of neuralgia, myalgia, arthrosis, arthritis. If the joints are affected, as a rule, treatment of one of them will be sufficient, the remaining joints will improve their functions in parallel and independently. It is also possible to treat with ultrasound Bechterew's disease, spondylitis, trophic and varicose ulcers.
