If ultrasound and X-ray show bulging, protrusion or prolapse of the disc (intervertebral), then a hernia becomes the presumed diagnosis. The spine is the support of our body. It also protects the spinal cord from negative effects, damage to which will lead to extremely deplorable consequences. The discs serve for cushioning and flexibility. They prevent the destruction of the vertebrae when rubbing against each other.
Signs of disc prolapse are general weakness, pain, tingling or numbness in the spine. Muscle weakness or even limb paralysis may also occur. The exact signs depend on which part of the spine the problem appeared.
The risk of hernia increases in those whose work is inextricably linked with a violation of posture. Almost all of us spend most of our working day at the computer. At the same time, we do not always follow the position of the back, slouch and strongly bend the spine. Injuries can also occur when lifting weights. Age-related changes also contribute: over the years, the gelatinous core of the disc dries out, which leads to a decrease in flexibility.
The complex of treatment procedures includes the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and physiotherapy. In the absence of a result, the doctor will prescribe injections of steroids into the spine. At the acute stage of a vertebral hernia, an operation is prescribed. This is necessary in order to prevent relapses of the disease.
You can take a course of medications and physiotherapy in AMAKS sanatoriums. A complex of general strengthening procedures will also be continued here. Our doctors are highly qualified specialists with more than 15 years of experience. AMAKS resorts use the following methods for treatment:
