  In case of spinal trauma, fracture of any individual vertebral bodies, cause of injury - the high pressure force (compression) effect, so abundant in the surrounding bony fragments dyglinių and lateral spine growth. Often the vertebral body fracture, cartilaginous intervertebral discs violation - drives.

  Occurs in the disc fibrous ring rupture, the crack may get his gelatinous core and the formation of the so-called spinal hernia. Hernia pushes the spinal nerve roots, and gets the appropriate symptoms.

  Severe spinal injuries when crushed or terminated spinal nerves are accompanied by a profound paresis or limb (and whole body), paralysis, affects pelvic organ dysfunction.

  A fractured spine, it loses its flexibility, mobility and other (depreciation) properties and functions when trying to move or palpation fracture site, there is severe pain, hematoma formation.

  One of the most important tasks of spinal compression fracture case - is an opportunity to avoid a damaged spinal deformity and spinal nerves (which gasket which will kaulinėms debris), it is necessary to restore the original vertebral shape, removing any load on the spine, and - to maintain the functional properties of the spine. Treatment of vertebral compression fracture usually starts from the fracture site localization, fracture and damage scale evaluation of the specificity, complexity of the injury is of importance as well as the patient's age and general condition of the body.

  A small compression of the spine is straightened out first, the patient in bed paguldant solid (wood), continued to apply traction, massage and therapeutic gymnastics.

  When the traumatized cervical or upper thoracic spine, stretching mode is performed using Glisono loop broken lumbar or thoracic area of ​​the lower spine, - using axilliary bands. Glisono axilliary loop or belt attached to the bed headboard, which is slightly raised obliquely. Patients are given strict bed rest, he can not move, sit, carry on its side. Patients who have suffered spinal injuries are treated in stages.

  Massage goal: strengthening the shoulder muscles and the pelvic areas of the arc, abdominal and back muscle tissues. Prevent the formation of pressure ulcers.
