Radiculitis manifests itself as a sudden acutepain in the back area. Any careless movement, and sometimes even coughing or sneezing, is given strong "lumbago". Many reasons - damage to the disc, colds, improper position - can provoke sciatica. Treatment with medicines and folk remedies can save the patient from unpleasant discomfort. It is important to determine the true cause of the disease.
Many people are very mistaken, considering the ailmentan independent disease. In fact, this is a specific radicular pain syndrome. The most common form is lumbar radiculitis. Symptoms, treatment (and folk remedies, and medications) of this ailment are practically no different from the standard for other common diseases of the spine. However, here, too, there are some features that are specific for the lumbar region.
This area of the spine accounts forthe greatest load. All due to the fact that it is as close to the main center of gravity of the body. To ensure greater freedom of movement, the lumbar region should always be sufficiently mobile. It should also be noted that the spine of every person is able to cope with the load imposed on him. However, if the inflammation of any of its departments has begun to develop, then a serious illness can very quickly appear. Especially in the lumbar region.
In the fight against this disease, you can immediately identify the two most basic stages.
Initially selected drug therapysciatica sciatica. The task of any doctor is to eliminate all disturbing pain sensations as soon as possible. At the same time, all medications that are able to eliminate pain syndrome and, of course, accelerate the healing process are used. In order to reduce discomfort, the doctor sometimes applies special splintering of painful areas.
So what exactly drugs most oftenAre they used for patients who have lumbar lumboscopy? Treatment with medicines will be effective only if the patient adheres to complex therapy.
First of all, specialnonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. They are used because they are able to eliminate all the pain sensations quite well and quickly, thanks to the removal of the inflammatory process and edema in the affected area. But since such drugs negatively affect the work of the gastrointestinal tract, the timing of their administration is clearly limited. It is because of this that each attending physician must in advance measure all possible negative consequences with the expected good result.
Usually the treatment of lumbar radiculitis lastslong enough. All this is associated with a specific specificity of this department of the spine. Due to the fact that the use of anti-inflammatory drugs is strictly limited, they can also be prescribed with anesthetics. In severe cases, accompanied by severe pain, they carry out so-called blockades. That is, splitting the affected area of the spine with various analgesics. This method, although it helps to quickly eliminate pain, but it can not be considered a cure. In this case, the absence of discomfort will be only a reaction to the injected drug, but not a sign of recovery.
Most often designated specifically nonspecificanti-inflammatory drugs. They are administered in the form of injections, which help to quickly remove the inflammatory process. However, the most effective action is shown by special anti-inflammatory ointments for topical application.
For patients who are diagnosed withradiculitis lumbar, medication prescribed that includes drugs "Diclofenac", "Fastum-gel." Their action is aimed at eliminating inflammation directly on the affected area. They slightly relieve pain. Such ointments can be used even for people with various allergic reactions, since they do not show irritating effects.
Medicamentous treatment of lumbosacralradiculitis includes non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that are produced in injections and not only. Among them, such means are very popular:
If there is such a need, then the doctor mayprescribe and drugs that can remove muscle spasms, which often accompany sciatica. Medicamentous treatment of lumbar radiculitis includes muscle relaxants.
Most often used such drugs:
Thanks to many studies conducted,Today the most effective is named the last drug - "Midokalm". It has been used for a long time in many well-developed countries of the world. The most rapid removal of muscle spasm and eliminate the existing pain sensation is helped by parenteral administration of the drug. It is also noted that in some patients cerebral activity rises, anxiety and some nervous tension are removed.
This drug is quite well combined withNVPs than can reduce the risk of undesirable side effects. However, the effectiveness of treatment does not decrease. Even with a sufficiently long-term use, the drug "Midokalm" is not able to cause muscle weakness and does not have any sedative effect, like many other muscle relaxants. A good tolerance of this drug allows you to assign it even to those people who need quick reaction and maximum concentration for work.
If you have disappeared discomfort, then this isdoes not mean complete recovery. Treatment should be prescribed only after clearly establishing the cause of the onset of pain. The fight against the disease can be completely different, because the causes of the disease can be radically different.
In almost every case, patientswhich diagnosed lumbar radiculitis, treatment with traditional methods is based on the use of therapeutic massage and gymnastics. Physical exercises help to normalize the entire muscle corset and the necessary ligamentous apparatus of the back. Thanks to this, joint mobility develops.
There are many znacharian ways to combatailment. Practically all folk methods for the treatment of sciatica are based on a good warming of the entire affected area of the back. This helps to relieve pain and improve blood circulation. It is important to understand that such a disease as lumbar radiculitis, symptoms, treatment (and folk remedies, and medications) must necessarily be discussed with a doctor. And only after agreeing with it - apply.
There is one more "but".Folk methods can not be considered a serious treatment. They can be regarded only as an attempt to ease the pain a little. Therefore, it will be best, of course, to seek qualified help from a specialist who already prescribes treatment based on your specific case.
It was noted above that complex therapy is sufficiently effective to defeat lumbar sciatica. Treatment with medications in this case should be combined with household remedies.
Among the best recognized are the following methods:
