ALGORITHM OF COMPLEX PROGRAM FOR TREATMENT AND REHABILITATION IN DEGENERATIVE DISEASES OF THE VERTEBRAL COLUMN IN THE CERVICAL AREA. PREVENTION OF CERVICAL ARTHROPATHY

Abstract

Degenerative changes of the spine are a common disease and represent a serious medical-social problem, requiring a complex program for treatment, rehabilitation and prevention. Nowadays life and immobilization create favorable prerequisites for the spreading of disease. The cervical region of the spine is subjected to significant dynamic and static loads, which often leads to pain and limited mobility. Improper posture, continuous static tension, muscular hypertonia and functional blockages in the cervical region provoke psychosommatic discomfort, stiffness, headaches and reduced capacity to work. An essential place in the treatment of osteoarthrosis occupy physical and rehabilitative means. Very good results are obtained from the recreated physical methods, kinesitherapy, extension, manual therapy, massage and natural factors combined with training of the patient. The purpose of this publication is to present an algorithm of a complex program for physical treatment and rehabilitation of cervicoarthrosis, as well as preventive measures and ergonomic control in a sitting working posture. Improving and maintaining the functional state of patients with spondyloarthroasis is essential for their quality of life.
