Manual therapy with a fallen hernia

The person often has problems with the spine, and these problems can be different. In some, they are observed from birth, while others are obtained from trauma or trauma. In some cases, only one vertebral segment is disturbed, in other cases the entire vertebral column is damaged. Quite often, patients also have an intervertebral hernia. And regardless of where the spinal cord has injured, the person in any case experiences rather strong painful sensations. Manual therapy is used to treat the ailments of the spine, but not in all cases it can be used.

Conducting manual therapy for the fallen hernia

The idea of ​​the probability of correcting the fallen hernia by methods of manual therapy, to be honest, does not correspond to reality.

The fact is that the internal disk pressure in the normal state is 3-5 atmospheres. When the disc is dropped, as a rule, the initial pressure decreases, but still remains high enough( 1.5-2 atmospheres).

During the rotation of the spine in the period of carrying out the universal mobilizing special method, the intra-disk pressure increases, which, with a fresh protrusion, can contribute to an increase in the hernial mass. That is why the mobilization of the spinal-motor segment should be carried out by methods that exclude an increase in internal disk pressure. Traction technology increases the internal disk pressure excludes.

It is necessary to know that with an apparent pain syndrome in the spine, any effect increases the painful manifestations and manual therapy in the acute period of compression radicular pathology is contraindicated.

List and optimal sequence of techniques. The first is acupuncture desensitization of trigger points;Second - traction mobilization of the damaged vertebral-motor segment;The third is myoterapy( or pressor) of stressed muscles.

The list of techniques is expanded during the phase of the steady flow of radicular compression syndrome - technical techniques for relaxation of regional and local musculature are added.
