Description

 The invention relates to medicine and can be used as a way to restore the functionality of the spine.

The methods for restoring the functionality of the spine are subject to increased requirements related to the effectiveness of their use, healing in a shorter period of time, safety of use, stability of the achieved healing results without any deviations. The presence of diverse methods of restoring the functionality of the spine and the absence among them of the simplest methods of curing such a serious illness emphasize the importance and necessity of creating a therapeutic method with unique healing properties. Among the variety of methods for restoring the functionality of the spine, the effect on the spine of the bending-tensile forces applied to it by mechanical means is known. So, in the known method, the restoration of the functionality of the spine is achieved by eliminating the histological disorders of the vertebrae and discs under the influence of bending-tensile forces on the tissues and articular intervertebral motor segments (RF patent 2122392, IPC ⁶ A 61 H 1/00, 1998).

Other methods of restoring the functionality of the spine include extracting it with a bend on a radius surface (ed. St. USSR 1653771, IPC ⁶ A 61 H 1/02, 1991), extracting it by vibration (ed. St. USSR 831124, IPC ⁵ A 61 N 1 / 02, 1981), a hood with a body weight in water (ed. St. USSR 371934, IPC ³ A 61 H 1/02, 1972), traction of the vertebrae by means of a corrective stick made of rollers (USSR patent 1831334, IPC ⁶ A 61 N 1 / 00, 1993), self-correction pathological intervertebral discs (auth. binding. USSR 1079245, IPC ⁵ A 61 N 1/02, 1984) and other techniques that eliminate subluxation that allow for timely d agnostic vertebrae (auth. binding. USSR 759102, IPC A 61 N ³ 1/02, 1980), (auth. binding. USSR 806031, IPC A 61 N ³ 1/02, 1981).

 As can be seen from these sources, there are a large number of ways to improve the functioning of the spine and the body as a whole. However, most of them provide for the external influence of flexural-tensile forces on the spine, the controlled value of which is difficult, its determination is impossible due to various features of the skeletal, muscle structure, nature of the pathology of the vertebrae, discs, muscle tissue and other altered properties of the spine, its relaxation qualities.

 There is a method of treating the spine using a device to relieve tension in the muscles of the shoulder girdle, relieve spasm of the muscles of the spinal column with self-monitoring of spinal stretching to alter pain, rolling the patient’s back along the roller (RU 2128492, 04/10/1999).

 A known method injures paravertebral tissue.

 There is a method of treating the spine by turning the shoulder girdle relative to the hip when the patient is on a horizontal position (A. B. Sitel. Manual medicine. - M .: Medicine, 1993, 201-205). The method is selected as a prototype, but, like the previous one, injures the spine.

 The main objective of the invention is the creation of a new method of restoration of the spine, which would be easy to implement and available as an effective healing agent.

 The healing result of using the invention is the effectiveness of its healing properties, reducing treatment time, simplifying and creating the prerequisites for an expanded scope of application.

 The main problem is solved and the healing result is achieved by improving the method, using a new concept based on the creation of flexural-tensile forces only by the patient’s own weight at a certain location using the simplest auxiliary means not known in healing practice.

 To do this, in the method of physiotherapy of the spine, including a reversal of the shoulder girdle relative to the hip with the patient lying on a horizontal position, under the rendered vertebrae, a circular ridge 6-7 cm in diameter is placed transversely for 5-10 minutes daily for 2-6 weeks, followed by a turn of the shoulder belts are relatively hip. Before the location of the roller, the area of the adjacent vertebrae is worked out by the pads of the connected fingers in the mode of joint movement with the skin until heat appears. Before the roller is placed on the skin, alcohol propolis or a layer of fresh unsalted pork fat can be applied rubbing along the spine.

The distinctive features of the method of physiotherapy of the spine are the following signs:
- transverse arrangement under the approximate vertebrae of a round roller with a diameter of 6-7 cm,
- the mode of location on the patient’s roller for 5-10 minutes daily for 2-6 weeks,
- subsequent turn of the shoulder girdle relative to the hip.

Additional distinctive features of the method are the signs:
- study of the area of close vertebrae before the location of the roller with the pads of close fingers in a mode of joint movement with the skin until heat appears,
- rubbing along the spine of alcohol propolis or fresh unsalted pork fat applied to the skin before the location of the roller.

 These distinguishing features of the method are significant, since each of them individually and jointly aimed at solving the problem and achieving a new technical result. In the proposed method, a new concept is implemented, which consists in the local impact of the transversely located round roller on the adjacent vertebrae according to a certain mode, the development of the zone of close vertebrae before the round roller is placed with the pads of the connected fingers in a joint movement with the skin until heat appears to enhance blood flow and lymph flow, as well as rubbing along the spine of alcohol propolis or fresh unsalted pork fat applied to the skin to retain heat, a turn of the shoulder girdle and relatively hip after carrying out the arrangement mode of close vertebrae on the round varicus. The exception to the method of these distinctive features does not allow to achieve the expected results in accordance with the task.

 These distinctive essential features of the method are new, since their use in the prior art, analogues and prototype was not found, which allows us to characterize the proposed method according to the criterion of "novelty."

 A single set of new essential features with common known essential features allows us to solve the problem of creating a new method of physiotherapy of the spine, based on the use of a new concept, and achieve a new technical result. The new method was created without the use of any recommendations or established principles in this field of medicine, taking into account the creative contribution, originality and non-obviousness, meets the criterion of "inventive step".

 The essence of the method is illustrated by drawings with a brief description thereof. Figure 1 (side view) and figure 2 (top view) presents a schematic diagram of the physiotherapy of the spine using a transversely arranged round roller; 3 is a diagram of a reversal of the shoulder girdle relative to the hip in a horizontal position of the patient on his side.

 The method of physiotherapy of the spine is carried out using a rigid base 1, which is a couch, deck chair or floor, and a round roller 2 with a diameter of 6-7 cm, made of wood or a polymer material with sufficient rigidity and low thermal conductivity.

 The possibility and effectiveness of the method is illustrated by the following examples with diagnoses of patients 1998-1999.

A subsequent turn of the shoulder girdle relative to the hip when the patient was horizontal on the side ended with physiotherapy of his spine. Achieved complete, free mobility when cornering, tilting, moving without pain.

 Example 3

 Patient K. - age 42 years, with pain in the chest and lumbar regions (close 6-7 vertebrae of the thoracic region and 4-5 vertebrae of the lumbar region), limiting mobility during inclines, turns, walking, received physiotherapeutic treatment of the spine according to the following modes: : the zones of the adjacent 4-5 vertebrae of the lumbar region were worked out by the pads of the adjacent fingers in the mode of joint movement with the skin until heat appeared, then a round ridge of di Meter 6 cm for 5 minutes daily for 3 weeks, then for 10 minutes daily for 3 weeks. After that, the zones of the close vertebrae of the thoracic region were worked out with the pads of the fingers of the fingers together in the mode of joint movement with the skin until heat appeared, a circular ridge of 6 cm in diameter was placed under the adjacent 6-7 vertebrae of the chest region for 5 minutes every day for 2 weeks and for 10 minutes daily for 4 weeks. A subsequent turn of the shoulder girdle relative to the hip in the horizontal position of the patient completed the physiotherapy of his spine. Pain sensations completely disappeared, free mobility was achieved during inclinations, turns and movement.
