Abstract

A standard X-ray examination makes it possible to identify the presence of typical signs of osteochondrosis, as well as to reveal a number of local X-ray changes in the form of configuration distortions of the spine. The X-ray study data showed that after a course of osteopathic treatment patients with lumbar osteochondrosis demonstrated the restoration of the distorted configuration of the spine (26.3%), elimination of flexion (27.4%) and extension (28.5%) restrictions. The complex therapy, which included osteopathic treatment, facilitated the more evident positive dynamics of structural and functional changes in the lumbar spine. The comparative analysis of clinical and radiological manifestations and data of structural and functional changes in the vertebral motor segments in patients with lumbar osteochondrosis, who underwent osteopathic treatment, indicates the high efficiency of the proposed complex of restorative measures.
