Many of us know what pain is in the back, lower back, neck, throughout the spine and in the head. But not everyone thinks about what caused these pains. Sometimes we attribute bad health to bad weather, to great mental or physical exercise And so on. In fact, the main problem lies in wrong position of the first cervical vertebra, which is called the atlas vertebra.
What is an Atlas vertebra?
The vertebra at the base of the skull is called atlas. This vertebra not only holds the head, but allows us to move it, turn it in different sides and nod at her.
This vertebra is located on the second cervical vertebra called Axis. Turns out:
Incorrect location of Atlanta can cause a lot of serious diseases. Namely, osteochondrosis and scoliosis, posture disorders, headaches, intervertebral hernia.
About the consequences of the displacement of Atlanta
The first vertebra can move for many reasons. What does this threaten us with? And the following happens:
The body adapts to the change that has occurred, that is, to the incorrect location of the base, in order to balance the internal tension.
Therefore, diseases such as scoliosis,posture distortion And pelvis, and others.
In addition, the displacement of the first vertebra disrupts the blood supply to the brain and disrupts the outflow of fluid from it. This is what causes headaches. And this proven fact, not just speculation. When this cervical vertebra is displaced, blood flow, vertebral arteries suffer, and cervical hypertension begins in a person.
Violation of the position (atlas vertebra) leads to a deterioration in the interaction of the brain with the whole body. But it is the brain that controls our organs and systems, it is he who is the main thing in our life. In fact, the possible consequences of the displacement of the first vertebra are not yet fully understood.
What are the possible reactions during atlas placement?
This method of spinal correction is actually considered preventive and not medical. After correction, the body turns on the necessary mechanisms and begins to heal and develop itself. Blood circulation is restored, oxygen supply to the brain improves, useful substances fill the body without hindrance, and unnecessary stress is removed from the spine. Gradually go old diseases. And all this thanks to the correction of the first vertebra.
Experts recommend monitoring your reactions after the procedure, to support recovery. For this you need to do special exercises and techniques that will be shown to you when placing the atlas in place.
But do not forget that atlas staging cannot replace medical treatment and diagnostics. And if you are undergoing a course of treatment, then you should not interrupt it. Setting up an atlas will improve healing effect and you'll be on the mend quickly. We are ready to give you full advice on this issue.
/ List of publications on diseases of the spine and joints
The first measure in the detection of osteochondrosis of the spine and other diseases is the implementation of the correction of the spine. This procedure allows you to return it to its original desired position so that the load on the spinal column is distributed as evenly as possible.
With osteochondrosis of the spine, depending on the localization of disorders in the spine (cervical osteochondrosis, thoracic osteochondrosis, lumbosacral osteochondrosis), different types of spine correction are distinguished, which is carried out by a specialist in the clinic.
It is performed with the hands, which is why it is also called manual therapy of the spine.
Therapeutic techniques of manual therapy are conditionally divided into two groups: the "hard" technique (shock and impulse manipulations) and the "soft" technique, which has recently replaced the hard one. The "soft" technique includes, for example, the so-called muscle-energetic techniques (MET, overcoming restrictions in the joints, by soft and sparing techniques), myofascial release (MPR, releasing muscles from pathological tension). Compared to hard methods, these manual therapies are much less complication, more enjoyable for patients, and often much more effective.
When carrying out the correction of the spine with the help of manual therapy, the main task is to restore the normal position of the vertebrae and joints, the revival of their natural mobility, for which purposeful pressure is applied to the joints with the help of fingers. There is a difference between the "long leverage" method and the "short leverage" method. The first of them implies that one lever is the limb of the patient, and the other is his torso. When twisting the body, the displaced joint returns to its physiological place. And when implementing the second technique, the manipulations are performed gently, without bumps, shaking, twisting and rough influences, and a local effect directly on the affected area is assumed.
In order for the joints to move in the right direction, it is also effective to influence the muscle groups associated with them. Such an effect contributes to muscle tension or, conversely, to their relaxation, which leads to the movement of the joints. Finally, the restoration of normal blood flow in the area of the "returned" vertebra or joint is also an important procedure.
Treatment with manual therapy
With the help of manual therapy, you can get rid of many manifestations of osteochondrosis of the spine, including neurological ones: headaches, pain and discomfort in the spine and chest, decreased mobility of the spine, dizziness caused by pathology cervical spine, humeroscapular periarthrosis and others.
Recently, the number of contraindications to manual therapy for the treatment of osteochondrosis of the spine has become much less due to the widespread use of "soft" techniques. Therefore, the question of the need for treatment is decided by the doctor in consultation with a particular patient.
Manual therapy is not a universal method of treatment, but it contributes to a significant reduction in the use of pharmacological drugs or even their complete elimination in the fight against certain diseases.
For ten years now, the Japanese doctor Fukutsuji has been helping women lose weight in
the shortest times. And this is without exhausting diets. exercise And
spending money.
The method described by the Japanese in his book, which was sold in Asia with an edition of sixmillion copies, says that no special means For fast weight loss. All you need is a large towel, strong thread, a horizontal surface, and five minutes a day.
The essence of the method is that for several minutes you lie on a roller rolled from a towel. As a result, the stomach disappears. And if you move the towel a few centimeters, the chest rises, posture is corrected, and growth even increases.
Quick weight loss recipes are most often based on rapid fluid loss or excessive power load. Even the most best diets for quick weight loss are not harmless, and running to the gym without a good physical training not safe. Knowing this, Dr. Fukutsuji went the other way, turning his attention to the human skeleton. And he discovered that the main reason for the large waist is the divergence of the pelvic and hypochondral bones. After a series of experiments, he empirically established the veracity of his hypothesis and developed exercises for rapid weight loss of the abdomen. Although, in fact, what needs to be done, strictly speaking, cannot be called exercises. First you need to tightly roll the roller out of the towel.
Then tie it tightly with a thread
The video clip clearly demonstrates how an ordinary towel turns into a "slimming roller". If you suffer from lower back pain, a lightweight roller, thinner than for those who have a perfect back, will be enough for you.
So let's get started...
Sit on a fairly hard horizontal surface (a soft bed will not work, it is better to lie on a couch, a massage table or just a tourist rug on the floor), put a rolled roller just behind the buttocks.
We carefully lower ourselves onto our back, holding the roller with our hands so that it is across the body under the lower back - exactly under the navel
It is important! We check the correctness of the selected pose. We feel the navel and
carry out index fingers a line from the navel through the sides vertically down (to the towel).
Relax. Put your feet shoulder-width apart and bring your feet together so that only your thumbs touch each other. (In order not to be distracted by holding the legs in the desired position during the exercise, they can be fixed with an elastic band.)
Bring outstretched straight arms behind the head,
turn them palm down
and connect with each other with little fingers.
The posture is uncomfortable. If it’s difficult for you to straighten your arms completely, it’s not scary, let them lie as it turns out. The main thing is to make sure that the big toes and little fingers of the hands touch.
And that's it! In this position, you need to lie for five minutes.
Just? More than. However, there is a difficulty. If done correctly, your skeleton will immediately begin to take on its natural shape. And this process can be painful. If it is too difficult for you to immediately sustain the required five minutes, start with a minute or two, increasing the time of “rest on the roller” every day. Ultimately, you need to come to exactly five minutes. And do not miss a single day until you get a lasting result.
In fact, the method is one of the types of stretching. Only stretch not only and not so much the muscles as the hypochondrium. If you move the roller under the chest, the chest will begin to rise. If we put it under the beginning of the ribs, the waistline will become more pronounced
.
Even if you do not believe in this method, no one is stopping you from trying instead of swallowing pills for quick weight loss. And who said that pills and dietary supplements will help you?
I warn you right away: this method is not for quick weight loss in a week. But, as you can see in the video clip, already in the first session, one of the girls got rid of four centimeters at the waist. And she straightened her spine, “grew up” by almost a centimeter (of course, I find it hard to believe in such results in one session).
The result is certainly individual. At what rate will you lose volumes -
No one knows. But one thing is certain: the method proposed by the Japanese doctor is harmless and free. So why not try?
MY COMMENTS:
we’ve been doing it with my mom for the second week, so I’m telling our feelings:
When doing this exercise for the first time, it is better that someone is nearby in order to understand exactly where to put this roller;
- put the clock in a prominent place;
- after 5 minutes, gently roll from the roller to the right side - it's easier,
do not immediately get up, but lie down for 1 minute,
then sit down and sit for another 1 minute, carefully get up and do not rush, it will be hard;
- in 3 minutes everything will pass;
-to lie down for 5 minutes in this position turned out to be not difficult for us, we can do more,
but we don't know if it's possible;
- the muscles of the tummy are really tightened;
-one day we did it late in the evening and mommy was sleeping like a baby!
-we do not understand what is happening there, but somehow, doing this exercise in the morning,
we noticed that the feeling of physical energy increases throughout the day,
there was lightness.
We love this exercise, so I posted it here!
The utility model relates to devices for training and passive therapeutic gymnastics during the course of rehabilitation of the spine, treatment of various pathologies of the spine, as well as for preventive purposes aimed at correcting the spinal column, both at home and in gyms. The simulator contains a base, a contact surface divided in the middle by a notch. The contact surface is made in the form of a plate of an elastic material and is fixed with short sides by means of a quick-detachable connection on the base with the formation of an arcuate bulge above it. The base can be made with at least two mounting sockets located on one of its sides to enable the height of the plate arc to be adjusted. The plate can be made with convex massage elements. 4 ill., 1 z.p. f-ly.
The utility model relates to devices for training and passive therapeutic exercises during the course of spine rehabilitation, treatment of various pathologies of the spine, as well as for preventive purposes aimed at correcting the spinal column, both at home and in gyms.
Known recovery method functional state body, by correcting the spine and a simulator for massage and installation of the vertebrae (RU 2273466, IPC A61H 1/02, A63B 23/02, publ. 04/27/2004), containing a base with rows of massage elements located on its contact surface, separated by a notch . The simulator is equipped with a telescopic stand installed at the base of the stand and pivotally connected to the telescopic U-shaped traction mounted on a telescopic rack with the ability to move along it. The base of the simulator is fixed on the rack, its side faces are made at an angle<90°. Телескопическая стойка и телескопическая П-образная тяга имеют механизмы крепления соответственно по высоте стойки и по длине тяги.
The described design of the simulator is stationary and cumbersome, in addition, the method of correcting the spine, implemented on the simulator of this design, makes it necessary to apply physical effort to massage the back, and to stretch the spine in order to release the pinched nerves by the displaced vertebrae, it is necessary to make even greater efforts, resting with your hands to hold the weight of the body, therefore, the implementation of stretching the spine in this way is ineffective and not accessible to everyone.
The utility model solves the problem of creating a simulator that facilitates the process of spinal correction by moving apart the vertebrae and releasing pinched nerves by changing the geometric shape of the contact surface of the simulator and its orientation.
To obtain the necessary technical result in a well-known simulator for spine correction, containing a base, a contact surface divided in the middle by a notch, it is proposed to orient the base of the simulator horizontally, and make the contact surface in the form of a plate of elastic material and fix it with short sides using a quick-release connection on the base with the formation arcuate bulge above it. The base can be made with at least two mounting sockets located on one of its sides to enable the height of the plate arc to be adjusted. The plate can be made with convex massage elements.
The graphic materials attached to the description show:
figure 1 - the proposed simulator, top view;
figure 2 - the same, side view;
figure 3 - the proposed simulator with massage elements;
figure 4 - the same, side view.
The following symbols are used on the images:
1 - the proposed simulator for the correction of the spine in the collection;
2 - base;
3 - plate of elastic material;
4 - notch on the plate;
5 - mounting sockets;
6 - massage elements.
The proposed simulator for the correction of the spine contains a base 2, for example, a rectangular shape, which can be made, for example, of a lightweight plastic material, but with sufficient strength to withstand the weight of a person. The base 2 of the simulator is oriented horizontally. The contact surface is made in the form of a plate 3 of an elastic material, for example also of plastic. The plate 3 is provided with a longitudinal notch 4 located in the middle to exclude pressure on the spine upon contact. The short sides of the plate 3 are fixed in the mounting sockets 5 on the base 2 by means of a quick-detachable connection. Plate 3 is fixed in such a way that it forms an arcuate bulge above the base 2, which is the contact surface during the process of spinal correction. To adjust the height of the arc of the contact surface, the base can be provided with several mounting slots 5 located on one side of the base, at least two mounting slots. In addition, the contact surface of the simulator can be provided with massage elements 6, for example, these can be protrusions made integral with the plate 3 by stamping.
Description of the use of the simulator for the correction of the spine.
The simulator is installed horizontally, for example, on the floor or other supporting surface. The patient lies on the contact surface of the simulator with his back. Gradually bending the spine, the patient is in full contact with the entire arcuate contact surface of the simulator, while there is no pressure directly on the spinal column, which is ensured by a notch on the contact plate in the spine area. Lying on the contact surface of the simulator is not rigid, it is comfortable, which is ensured by the elasticity of the plate material. Due to the arcuate deflection of the spinal column, the shifted vertebrae move apart, releasing the pinched nerve endings emerging from the spinal cord. If the contact surface is made with massage elements, under the influence of the weight of the patient during the deflection of the spine, not only the work of the paravertebral muscles occurs, but also their massage. You can bend the upper, middle and lower back alternately, or work on one problem area. It is recommended to start exercising on the simulator by setting the contact surface of the simulator to the position that corresponds to the lowest arc height, and only after a while, if there is no pain, you can switch to another form of the contact surface by increasing the height of the contact surface arc. Changing the shape of the arc of the contact surface is achieved by quickly and easily reinstalling one side of the elastic plate into the other mounting socket on the base.
A specific example of using the simulator.
Example 1. Albert, 34 years old, pain and discomfort in the lower spine appeared in adolescence as a result of the impact of multidirectional loads on the spinal column when lifting and moving loads. In the future, the upper spine began to hurt, constant pains appeared in the chest area, which intensified even after such loads as walking or driving a car.
Along with this, drawing pains appeared in the left leg, left arm and cervical spine. As a result, a decrease in activity by 80-90% and an increase in body weight. In 2010, he underwent an examination on a tomograph. The diagnosis - "Intervertebral hernia". The trapevt-manual recommended using a roller under the lower back when driving and resting. But the roller itself, by its design, acts in a narrow direction and puts pressure directly on the vertebrae, which caused new pain sensations.
In the first days after the start of using the simulator for the correction of the spine, light sipping sensations appeared in the legs and under both shoulder blades. I practiced for 5 minutes twice a day - in the morning and in the evening. The impact was alternately on all parts of the spine, changing the position of the body on the contact surface.
With surprise in the mornings, I noticed the absence of constant pain - it began to be temporary and manifested itself in a different capacity, as a slight malaise. The former flexibility began to appear throughout the body. After a month of using the simulator, pain in the lower back and left leg disappeared. The range of motion of the arms and legs has greatly increased. After two months of such classes, the former working capacity and the desire for a full life returned.
Example 2. Victor, 32 years old. He began to experience severe pain in the lumbar region at the age of 27 years. At first, the pain manifested itself when the upper body was tilted forward. Over time, more intense attacks began, even in a sitting position. An examination of the lumbar spine on a tomograph revealed a hernia of two discs with protrusion. Massages and blockades did not bring the desired effect. At the age of 31, shooting pains appeared in both legs alternately; there was no body position in which the pain would disappear completely. There were attacks of such strength that the injection of the most powerful painkiller did not help. He was mentally depressed and ready for spinal surgery. I started to work out on the simulator once a day for 5 minutes, exerting a consistent effect on different parts of the spine. With the start of using the simulator, literally from the third use, the pain in the back felt almost imperceptible. Posture began to improve. After 3 weeks of classes, all painful symptoms disappeared, hernia significantly decreased.
Currently, he uses the simulator for preventive purposes 3 times a week for 5 minutes.
Example 3. The proposed simulator can be useful for athletes, especially those involved in weightlifting. A group of athletes of 5 people used the simulator for the correction of the spine after intensive training in order to prevent possible shifts of the vertebrae. After training, each of the athletes lay on the simulator for only 5 minutes, alternately affecting the upper, middle and lower sections of the spine. The use of the simulator in this mode made it possible to significantly reduce the recovery period to a normal state after intensive training, and eliminated the appearance of pain symptoms in the spine. An improvement in sports results was also noted in individual athletes, but targeted studies in this direction have not been conducted.
The simulator can also be used during the course of rehabilitation and treatment of various pathologies of the spine. It is known that the lack of dynamic load, which office workers experience in modern life, and the excess of static load leads to the development of pathology in the spine and in organs interconnected with it. The use of the proposed simulator will prevent the development of pathology in the spine, maintain its flexibility and increase the load on the paravertebral muscles and ligaments, training them, which will help maintain the correct posture.
Thus, the proposed simulator is very easy to use and training on the simulator does not require the application of physical effort to carry out the process of spinal correction, as is necessary when using the simulator described in the closest analogue. Due to the simplicity of the spine correction method, the simulator is available to all age categories of patients. In addition, the simulator is lightweight and mobile.
1. A simulator for the correction of the spine, containing a base, a contact surface divided in the middle by a notch, characterized in that the base of the simulator is oriented horizontally, and the contact surface is made in the form of a plate of an elastic material and fixed with short sides using a quick-release connection on the base with the formation of an arcuate bulge over it.
2. The simulator according to claim 1, characterized in that the base is equipped with at least two mounting sockets located on one side of it, for the possibility of adjusting the height of the plate arc, and the plate is made with convex massage elements.
