Treatment
Based on the results of the tests, the doctor selects an effective treatment. As a rule, a whole scheme is prescribed.
Medication therapy.
This can be non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, muscle relaxants, as well as vitamin complexes. They are selected by the doctor based on the results of the examination.
Therapeutic and medicament blockades
The essence of this method is injection directly into the source of pain. Local anesthetics, chondroprotectors (a group of drugs), steroids or vascular drugs are used.
Physiotherapy courses
A very effective method. Tangible results are noticed after the first procedures, but to keep the effect for a long time, it is necessary to take a full course. This can be:
- Sinusoidal modulated currents. Because of the minimal resistance of the soft tissues is carried out deep penetration into the center. Currents promote the formation of biologically active substances. They just suppress the pain.
- Magnetolaser therapy. Both the magnetic field and the laser beams have an effect on the spasms. They improve blood circulation in the tissues, change the osmotic pressure in the capillaries, thus increasing the analgesic effect
- Shockwave therapy. Treatment occurs because of the effect of low-frequency acoustic waves. They “collide” with tissues, releasing energy. This improves microcirculation and reduces inflammation.
Massage
It affects the intervertebral discs, relieves spasms and tension. As a result, pain in muscles and joints, adhesions between superficial and deep muscles disappear, fatigue is reduced, the back relaxes and the lymphatic system works faster.
Manual therapy
A classical massage affects stagnation and muscle spasms. A chiropractor works with the joints, including the intervertebral joints.
