Osteochondrosis of the spine: symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Osteochondrosis of the spine is a fairly common disease. Contrary to popular belief, it is found not only in elderly people, but also in 20-year-olds, and the beginning of it is quite unexpected: you can feel a sharp attack of pain, bending over the fallen thing, leaning towards the table, or simply making some movement.

Pelvic girdle

Bones of the pelvic girdle are joined together in front of the pubic half-joint, and behind them with the sacrum they form the sacroiliac joints.

Movement of the spine

Due to the peculiar arrangement of the two joints - behind the articulationes inter-vertebrales and the main joint articulatio intersomatica in front between the vertebral bodies, movements are possible in all directions, although they are unevenly distributed in various parts of it.

Anatomical and biomechanical features of the spine

The spinal column should be viewed from the anatomical (biomechanical) and functional side. Anatomically, the spine consists of 32, sometimes 33 separate vertebrae, interconnected by intervertebral discs (art. Intersomatica), which represent synchondrosis, and joints (art. Intervertebrales).
