Homeopathic injections for cervical osteochondrosis

Homeopathic mesotherapy in cosmetology and dermatology is the method of introducing special compounds into an area that needs treatment or correction.
This procedure differs from classical (allopathic) mesotherapy in the contents of the cocktails, the technique of administration and the effect it has on the body as a whole.

The main difference is that this technique works not only specifically on a specific problem, but also affects the condition of the entire organism.

Indications for use

Homeopathic mesotherapy has many indicators for its use for the treatment and rejuvenation of the face, body and hair. In addition to the presence of any specific problems, it can be used to increase immunity, for general rejuvenation and healing of the body.

Let us highlight several main points that can become indicators for the use of therapy:

• acne;
• fat deposits;
• scalp problems;
• decreased skin tone;
• scars, stretch marks and cicatrices;
• wrinkles;
• excessive peeling, poor complexion, pallor, circles and bags under the eyes.

However, a similar technique is used for less pronounced indications. In more advanced cases, it is ineffective.

Benefits of using injections

Injections for osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine have many clear advantages over the use of drugs in tablet form during treatment. The main ones include the following:

• speed of impact and high efficiency;
• accuracy in calculations of applied dosages;
• minimizing the risk of side effects.

The speed of action that injections have for osteochondrosis is ensured due to the fact that the drug administered by injection does not pass through the food system, which significantly reduces the beneficial substances in it. Preservation of dosage accuracy also occurs due to the direct entry of drugs into the bloodstream, making them unaffected by food enzymes.

In addition, drugs that provide treatment for osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine have components that are aggressive to the gastrointestinal tract. That is why their use in the form of injections ensures an almost complete absence of adverse reactions in the body.

Contraindications for use

Since the described technique is an injection one, it has several contraindications in which this procedure is prohibited, namely:

• the presence of inflammation of the skin;
• oncology;
• any chronic diseases that are in severe form or in the acute stage;
• viral infections.

Unlike classical mesotherapy, homeopathic mesotherapy can be carried out during pregnancy and breastfeeding. But before carrying out, medical consultation is necessary.

Injection methods

Injections used for lumbar osteochondrosis can be administered in various ways. The choice of the principle of drug administration largely depends on the properties of the drug itself. These are the different ways to use injections in the treatment of lumbar osteochondrosis:

• intramuscular;
• intravenous;
• subcutaneous;
• drug blockade.

Most often, intramuscular administration of drugs is used to treat osteochondrosis. This principle allows the drug to quickly and completely enter the bloodstream. This ensures speed and efficiency. The use of intravenous injections is necessary in situations where it is necessary to ensure the fastest possible penetration of the drug into the blood. Such injections are most often used for intense pain and extensive inflammation.

Subcutaneous injections are performed when vitamins are introduced into the body in the form of injections. This principle of using medications is due to the properties of vitamins that are most effectively absorbed through the skin.

Drug blockade involves the administration of drugs directly under or near the inflamed vertebra. In this case, it is necessary to make injections as close as possible to the exits of the nerve endings. The main goal of such manipulations is to promptly eliminate a serious pain factor and extensive inflammatory processes during exacerbation attacks.

Drugs used

When carrying out homeopathic mesotherapy, antihomotoxic agents are used, which are subject to repeated dilution.

As a rule, the contents of such preparations include complexes of homeopathic remedies that can have an antitoxic effect on our body.

Such drugs help to use the potential of the body, and not just a specific area.

There are several manufacturing companies that have proven themselves well in cosmetology:

• Italian concern OTI;
• the company GUNA (Gun), which also produces its products in Italy.

Representatives of these companies are available both in European countries, as well as in Russia and Ukraine. On their basis you can take a course in homeopathic mesotherapy.

Disadvantages of injection treatment

Despite the significant advantages of using medications in the form of injections in the complex treatment of a disease such as lumbar osteochondrosis, injections also have serious disadvantages. These include the following facts:

• the need to have injection skills, or regular visits to the manipulation room;
• skin and muscle injuries in the form of nodules and abscesses, which often occur even with the correct administration of drugs;
• short duration of exposure to drugs in this form.

It is because of this that during therapy, doctors most often prescribe injections only at the initial stage of treatment, when it is necessary to quickly relieve pain and relieve inflammation. Further use of drugs most often involves the use of tablets.

Due to the fact that any drug in the form of an injection has a full effect on the patient’s body, the use of such methods of therapy must be carried out under the supervision of a physician. Only in this way can the selection of medications be carried out taking into account all the individual characteristics of the patient, which means that the treatment will not only be effective, but also safe.

Stages of therapy

At the initial stage, the patient’s personal information is collected. The treating cosmetologist needs to tell you about all the features of your body. Based on the data obtained, the appropriate drug will be selected.

After all the preparatory stages, cocktail injections are made, which are carried out strictly at reflex points. This introduction of the cocktail is cumulative in nature and provides systemic and local action.

Look at the photos before and after homeopathic mesotherapy sessions. The result is obvious:

Conducting such sessions at home is possible with certain knowledge. But it’s still better to contact qualified cosmetologists.

Types of injections for lumbar osteochondrosis

Treatment of lumbar osteochondrosis requires the use of the same systemic drugs as during the treatment of osteochondrosis of other parts of the spine. And no matter what group of drugs the drugs used during treatment belong to, in the form of an injection they act much faster and more effectively than tablets.

In the process of comprehensive elimination of lumbar osteochondrosis, the following groups of drugs in the form of injections are used:

• antispasmodics and painkillers;
• non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs;
• chondroprotectors;
• vitamins;
• homeopathic injections.

In the process of complex therapy in the form of injections, drugs are most often used, the effect of which must be obtained as quickly as possible. That is why injections are almost always used to relieve pain and relieve inflammation.

Painkillers

All pain-relieving injections used for lumbar osteochondrosis are conventionally divided into analgesics and antispasmodics. The action of analgesics occurs quite quickly. In addition, they are quite inexpensive, which increases their popularity. The main drugs in this group are Analgin and Baralgin.

Antispasmodics have a broader effect. To eliminate pain, they act on muscle tissue, relaxing it. The most effective remedies for lumbar osteochondrosis include: Baklosan, Tizanidine, Mydocalm Richter, Tizalud.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

In order to find which injections can not only eliminate pain symptoms, but also relieve swelling, as well as eliminate inflammatory processes, you should pay attention to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Among the most effective drugs of this type used in the treatment of lumbar osteochondrosis are the following:

• Ketonal;
• Ketorol;
• Movalis;
• Revmoxicam;
• Diclofenac;
• Dikloberl.

Combination nonsteroidal drugs are also often used. In addition to relieving pain symptoms and stopping inflammatory processes, they help restore normal blood flow and relieve swelling. One of the most effective of them is Milgamma.

Chondroprotectors

Treatment with chondroprotectors involves long-term use of drugs, since their effect ensures the accumulation of the building material necessary for the body to restore damaged vertebrae and cartilage. The main active ingredients of such injections are the following components:

• hyaluronic acid;
• glucosamines obtained from the bone marrow of fish and animals.

However, due to the peculiarities of the composition of the injections, they are taken only during the first 1.5-2 months of therapy. Subsequently, medications are used in the form of tablets.

The most effective chondroprotectors used in the treatment of lumbar osteochondrosis include the following drugs: Rumalon, Dona, Aflutop. But in the process of using them, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the dosage, as well as the scheme and duration of the treatment course.

Treatment with medications

The degenerative-inflammatory process inside the cervical spine is characterized by disorders of several organs and tissues. Therefore, the doctor prescribes medications that interact, enhancing each other’s pharmacokinetics. The beneficial effect occurs simultaneously on the nervous system, musculoskeletal system, heart and blood vessels.

Only the doctor determines the therapeutic program and decides which injections for osteochondrosis of the cervical spine will be effective in a particular case. The goal of treatment is to achieve the following results:

• local anesthetic effect;
• analgesic effect;
• anti-edema effect;
• desensitizing effect;
• reduction in the spectrum of the inflammatory focus;
• absorbent action.

The main therapeutic program involves prescribing the following drugs to improve the condition and functional activity of organs:

1. Analgesics. There are several options for effective relief of pain attacks. Painkillers help reduce the manifestations that cervical osteochondrosis is known for: treatment with injections and paravertebral blockades will be beneficial. For this purpose, a combination of analgesics with adrenal hormones is used. Vitamin B12 is also included in the medication kit.

   

2. Injections for cervical osteochondrosis, which is accompanied by severe muscular-tonic syndrome, with muscle relaxants. Tolperisone and Tizanidine are most often administered to relieve tension.

   

3. In addition to the listed medications, Actovegin is used. The main purpose of the prescription is to improve energy metabolism. By administering Actovegin, patients are relieved of persistent dizziness, which is in second place after pain on the scale of complaints for cervical osteochondrosis. Although the therapeutic effectiveness of this drug has been proven, doctors do not prescribe it for separate administration - the solution is administered along with general therapy for osteochondrosis. It is contraindicated to try to get rid of dizziness using traditional methods.

   

4. To eliminate muscle spasms and simultaneously achieve an analgesic effect, muscle relaxants and tranquilizers are prescribed. Short courses of benzodiazepine derivatives are useful. Medium therapeutic dosages are prescribed Diazepam, Clonazepam.

   

5. Doctors sometimes include Berlition among the injections prescribed for cervical osteochondrosis. It belongs to lipoic acid preparations. The medicine is not used separately, but as a complement to general pathogenetic treatment. The main purpose of Berlition is to improve the energy metabolism of cells, normalize axonal transport, while simultaneously reducing oxidative stress by binding free radicals. Stopping their synthesis and reducing the activity of oxidants restores cell membranes.

   

6. Vitamin therapy. Injections for osteochondrosis of the cervical spine involve the administration of vitamins, both separately and as part of preparations. B vitamins have a positive effect on the condition and functional ability of the neuromuscular system. Additionally, the quality of blood circulation improves and pain relief is provided. Vitamins B1 (thiamine) and B6 (pyridoxine) are involved in carbohydrate-protein metabolism, activating metabolic processes. Vitamin therapy improves the speed and quality of metabolic processes in the form of individual preparations and as part of complexes containing B vitamins (Milgamma, Combilipen). Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) significantly reduces pain by stimulating nucleic acid metabolism. The drug Milgamma contains Lidocaine. The drug reduces pain when administered intramuscularly.

Thus, the main task of the prescribed therapeutic approach is solved - to ensure a beneficial effect on the body's systems.

The main goal of the therapeutic program is pain relief. For this purpose, patients are prescribed injections of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for cervical osteochondrosis. They are among the most effective drugs (given their analgesic effect).

According to the pharmacokinetics, NSAIDs suppress the activity of cyclooxygenase (COX), resulting in inhibition of the synthesis of prostaglandins, prostacyclins and thromboxanes. The listed reactions determine not only the main therapeutic properties, but also side effects.

Even “advanced” OSTEOCHONDROSIS can be cured at home! Just remember to apply this once a day.

Currently, 2 types of non-steroidal drugs are used in orthopedics - non-selective and selective (COX-2 inhibitors). Among the representatives of the first group, acetic acid derivatives (Diclofenac, Ketorolac), arylpropionic acid preparations (Ibuprofen, Ketoprofen), and oxicam group drugs (Piroxicam, Lornoxicam) are used. Selective non-steroidal drugs include Nimesulide, Meloxicam, Celecoxib. But despite their proven effectiveness, the use of NSAIDs has its limitations.

Short-term use of NSAIDs in small dosages causes complications. They occur in 25% of clinical cases, and in 5% of patients they are fatal.

If you have a confirmed intolerance to non-steroidal drugs, you need to tell your doctor about this: drugs from this group will be replaced with alternative ones without compromising your overall health.

To reduce the likelihood of adverse reactions (especially damage to the mucous membrane of the digestive system), experts see the advisability of treating NSAIDs, which are selective COX-2 inhibitors.

Since pathology involves the development of microcirculatory disorders, when prescribing injections for osteochondrosis of the cervical spine, the doctor also includes the administration of medications that can normalize blood supply to the problem area in a short time. In terms of treatment of vascular platelet disorders, Pentoxifylline has proven itself to be positive.

It is advisable to prescribe the drug at a dose of 20 mg, 1 time per day for 1 week. The medicine has the following characteristics:

• promotes continuous release of the active substance;
• ensures uniform absorption from the digestive tract;
• improves blood flow;
• normalizes microcirculation and tissue trophism in the area of ​​the degenerative-inflammatory process;
• reduces the severity of root swelling;
• promotes pain regression and relief of typical neurological symptoms.

The listed properties of the drug make it popular in the treatment of spinal cartilage degeneration. But the properties of the medicine require monitoring of well-being during the course of their use for osteochondrosis of the cervical spine - treatment with injections greatly reduces blood pressure levels.

Alflutop is a drug for injection. The solution is an extract of 4 sea fish. The drug contains glycosaminoglycans, hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, keratan sulfate. These components are present in the cartilaginous part of the intervertebral discs. The low content of these substances leads to the destruction of cartilage tissue, its degeneration, depletion, followed by replacement with bone tissue.

• chondroprotective effect;
• slows down and then completely stops the inflammatory process;
• high analgesic effect;
• participates in the regulation of metabolic processes within cartilage tissue.

Alflutop also contains proteoglycans. The compounds have a trophic effect and are characterized by a replacement effect. It is possible to visualize the dynamics of improvements using MRI. The level of ability to absorb moisture, the height of cartilage, and the microrelief of bone tissue are also taken into account.
