“Hernia of the spine is not a sentence” - practical advice from Dr. Bubnovsky
Contrary to popular belief among ordinary people, Dr. Bubnovsky claims that spinal hernia is not a sentence. This doctor has long developed his own approach to the treatment of this difficult disease, and many people have regained their health thanks to him.
What is a hernia, according to Dr. Bubnovsky
Bubnovsky Sergey is an ordinary man who, by the will of fate, first became a cripple, and only then received a medical education. He was able to develop a technique that allows people to deal with various diseases of the musculoskeletal system. His method is also used in the treatment of intervertebral hernia.
What is an intervertebral hernia, according to Dr. Bubnovsky? This is just a disease contrived by neurosurgeons. The explanation for such a statement is very simple: the fact is that the spinal canal is formed by the bodies of the vertebrae and intervertebral discs on the one hand, and on the other hand by the arcuate processes of the vertebrae, a number of ligaments and muscles.
It turns out that the spinal canal is a dense “pipe”, which cannot be pushed through by any nucleus pulposus, which, according to the definition of an intervertebral hernia, should extend beyond the disc.
In fact, the intervertebral discs dry out, crumble into dust, eventually ending up under the posterior longitudinal ligament. And it is not the drying of the disc that leads to the pain syndrome. In most cases, it's all about the muscles and ligaments, which are overstressed, receiving an excess load to which they are unusual.
Movement is life
What should be done to cope with an intervertebral hernia without surgery? Bubnovsky recommends using several different approaches, but the first and most important of them is movement!
Many patients with pain due to their pathology are afraid to move, fearing both the unpleasant sensations themselves and the aggravation of the situation. Such an approach will not lead to anything good. In order for the spine to be well and fully supplied with blood, and the recovery processes in it to be active, it is necessary to move.
Sergey Bubnovsky offers his patients several types of classes. This includes both exercise therapy, examples of exercises of which can be seen on the video, and exercises on special simulators.
At the same time, the doctor draws attention to the fact that each person has a purely individual recovery threshold. It is impossible to compare the completed courses of exercise therapy or exercises on simulators, comparing the results, as this is useless.
Cold can help relieve symptoms
One of the methods used by Dr. Bubnovsky in the treatment of intervertebral hernia is cryotherapy or cold treatment.
It is useful due to the following properties:
- improves biochemistry;
- promotes stimulation of metabolic and endocrine processes in the body;
- increases body reserves, but does not lead to their rapid depletion;
- enhances lymphatic drainage (lymph outflow);
- promotes stimulation of microcirculation in all organs and tissues;
- promotes relaxation of muscle fibers, eliminating hypertonicity and contractures;
- improves the nutrition of cartilaginous and bone tissues due to the stimulation of blood circulation;
- promotes pain relief.
Cryotherapy is mainly used to relieve muscle pain, which often occurs in patients after exercise. It is important to understand that the body needs a short shock effect, which should not last more than 5-10 seconds.
Thanks to the treatment of pain with cold, it is also possible to ensure that a person stops believing that he is ill because he sat in a draft or spent a long time outside in the winter. True, as Dr. Bubnovsky notes, many patients, due to fear of the cold, prefer to stay with their illness and continue to take pills, rather than follow the recommendations received.
Other recommended techniques
In addition to cryotherapy and movement treatment, other methods are used in hernia therapy according to the Bubnovsky method.
Among them are the following:
- fasting (it is important not to abuse this technique and, refusing food for a while, do not forget to provide the body with enough water);
- establishing proper breathing with the help of simple methods of therapeutic exercises;
- use of the sauna with the principles of the Russian bath (preliminary consultation is recommended, as the method has contraindications);
- movement , movement and again movement (for people with a pain symptom in different areas of the back, special exercise courses have been developed aimed at stabilizing the work of the muscles in the problem area).
Today, according to the Bubnovsky method, many patients managed to cope with the symptoms characteristic of an intervertebral hernia.
True, as the doctor himself notes, it is impossible to force a person to be treated if he does not want it, and his technique requires a conscious approach to one's health in order to obtain good results! Moreover, it is impossible to fix the result, you need to take care of your health on a regular basis, and for many people this is much more difficult than just taking pills.
