Today we will speak about recovering of a person who has intervertebral disc herniation. To begin with, health in its entirety consists of triple systems teamwork:
- Immune (cells and specific proteins that make up the “friend-or-for identification system, which protects and cleans our body by forming the inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mechanisms,).
- Endocrine (hormonal background – a complex cascade of signaling molecules that control all body cells work, including immune system cells).
- Nervous (nervous system through its dual-purpose cells regulates the functioning of the endocrine and immune systems, and also thanks to its segmental (metameric) structure controls all the tissues in a corresponding body segment (metamer)).
It has long been known that young people in their early or middle 20s with active immunity and good endocrine profile get sick rather rarely, but get well soon. This is confirmed by the recent observations using MRI. We can observe a decrease or even complete hernias disappearance in young patients with active cellular immunity. This usually occurs within a period of 1.5 and 2 years.
Special attention should be paid to the nervous system structure and functioning. The well-known expression “Nerves cause all the diseases” in medical language means that prolonged stress leads to the adjustment mechanisms depletion, as a result of which the work of all nervous levels, endocrine and immune systems get broken. And, as a consequence, the body becomes susceptible to various diseases.
Creating optimal conditions for recovery, you need to take care of lowering physical and mental overloads, creating emotional comfort, restoring healthy and full-fledged night sleep, etc.
Distinguishing feature of our therapeutic approach is that knowing the peculiarities of human body segmental (metameric) innervation, the neurologist injects medicine that help to restore nerve cells proper functioning of specific metamers. Thus, it is possible not only to reduce pain and eliminate muscle spasms, but to create conditions for metabolic processes restoration of the corresponding metamer as well, contributing to the resorption processes of hernial budging.
Speaking about intervertebral disc hernia, it is worth remembering that hernia is the type of injury by its nature. Therefore, it is very important not to injure this spinal segment again during the recovery process. Therefore there are a number of recommendations limiting physical activities in people with spine disorders.
In some cases, the degree of spinal damage is such that spinal cord structures, its vessels, etc. are injured. In a similar situation surgical treatment is necessary.
Think much of your health! Ask for help to the competent doctors!
With respect and best regards,
