Osteochondrosis is one of the most widely spread diseases of the 20th century, appearing only less frequent than, perhaps, acute respiratory diseases during the Spring-Autumn period. Everyone at least once has experienced those unpleasant painful sensations in one's back. Constraint, pain, "burning sensations", lumbago: these are signs of this ailment. The human spine is the basis of the whole body and it carries support, motor, amortisation and protective functions. The spine deals with these "duties" only due to the static and dynamic (depending on the function) work of the muscles.

  Sad as it is, from very early childhood our muscles are subjected to overloading (uncomfortable school furniture, improper bearing, maintaining the same position for prolonged periods, uncomfortable beds, carrying heavy objects for long periods, etc.) plus nervous stresses and unbalanced feeding: all of this leads to an increase in muscle tone. Even at the age of 17-25, 80% of people have increased muscle tone, the muscles develop hardenings of different size, latent painful points.

  The longer the muscles stay under tension, the worse their circulation and metabolic processes become. The insufficient blood supply finally leads to the replacement of the muscular tissue with scar tissue, which is specific for old age: a premature ageing of the muscles occurs. When muscles age at an accelerated rate, the load upon the discs, joints and vertebrae sharply increases with all the inevitable consequences, in a quite unpleasant manner. Thus the "ageing of the spine" starts with a premature ageing of its active part: the muscles.

  Is a person doomed to gradual and complete damage from the disease? Not at all. A decrease in the muscle load and correct treatment can give him back his full-fledged life.

  Restoration of the disordered circulation at the level of the smallest capillaries and relaxation of tense muscles can be attained with the soft action of "Vitafon." And later everything is in your own hands: it is necessary to protect one's spine and to devote a few minutes every day to special exercises (M. V. Deviatova, "No to Osteochondrosis!", Publishing House "Komplekt", 1997).

  "Vitafon" will help you not only to deal with an acute relapse of an ailment, but also to have a good rest and to recuperate after a tense working day.
