  Myelitis - a gray and white matter of spinal cord inflammation. Myelitis of infectious diseases, which are characterized by focal or diffuse inflammation of the spinal cord. There may be a primary myelitis caused by a virus or secondary, is characterized as influenza, scarlet fever, diphtheria, angina complication. More likely to occur secondary to myelitis. It may also be a traumatic or toxic myelitis, caused by overdoses of dangerous substances. In such cases, the spinal cord in different places of inflammatory foci appear, covering the entire diameter of the spinal column, or only part of it. In all cases, the spinal cord (in spite of harsh changes in the nerve cells, and endangered species) and the existence of nerve cells that are able to recover and to ensure that the pathological process of the suspension.

  Primary myelitis developed after prodrominiam period, which lasts one to two days. At that time there headache, drowsiness, weakness, muscle pain, body temperature rises to 38-39o C. Spinal cord injury symptoms within a few minutes - a few hours. Symptoms depend on the degree of spinal cord injury, and prognosis - a damaged spinal cord (part of diametrical points) scale. Usually exposed from two to four side by side in the spinal segments.

  The site of injury and paralysis develops vangieji sectional sensitivity disorders below the place of the infringement occurs not only in sensitivity (transmission pulse) disturbance, but the cramping and limb paralysis.

  Myelitis patients with sacral pressure ulcers are often formed in the great trochanter, heels and shoulder surfaces, because these sites causes tissue nutrition, changes in sensitivity, and the pressure rises to the surface. The disease occurs within a few days and is (with no positive change) is sometimes a very long time (1-2 years). First recovers Sphincter (breathtaking muscle) sensitivity and function, and then decreases paresis, and paralysis.

  Disease at the beginning, after 7-10 days on paralyzed limbs massage at a time when the patient is very important neišvarginti. Exacerbation during the massage does not apply.

  The massage is performed and a partial and complete (spinal diameter) infringement of the fact that (even in extreme cases) is still capable to recover a group of cells that make massage therapy can achieve positive results.

  Massage is: muscle atrophy in the suspension, Glebe or spasmodic paralysis, paresis Prevention of nerve conduction strains (pulses) increases, elimination of contractions (or prevention), normalization of muscle tone, prevention of pressure ulcers.
