If you are often bothered by morning stiffness in one part of your spine or another, and during the day you feel increased fatigue in it, this book is for you. From it you will learn what is the source of these far from harmless symptoms, and what you should do, and what you should not spend time and money on, so that you do not end up with pain that will not respond well to treatment. Your consultant is a doctor of neurology with forty years of experience who will tell you about the internal and external causes of premature aging of the spine and why some herniated discs and spinal misalignments do not respond to standard treatment, forcing treating physicians to refer their patients to neurosurgeons.
From this book you will learn how to eliminate this little-known cause of constant pain, regardless of where it occurs - in the neck, lower back or coccyx.
Much space in the publication is devoted to the companion of dystrophic processes in the cervical region - tendonitis of the rotator cuff of the shoulder, because the public need for timely diagnosis and treatment of this very common disease is very high. Insufficient familiarity of doctors with this pathology, which is manifested by pain in the shoulder joint in the absence of changes in its bone and cartilage structure, unnecessarily often leads to long and expensive treatment.
After reading the information provided by the doctor, you will appreciate his efforts to minimize commercialism in health care.
The book can be used as an educational tool by physicians and their patients.
Dolzhenkov, A.: -
Andrey Dolzhenkov was born in 1961 in the USSR. In 1984, he graduated from Kursk Medical Academy, Faculty of Medicine. For many years he worked in the neurosurgical clinic of Yekaterinburg as a doctor of conservative practice. He mastered manual techniques of influence on the diseased spine, having performed a total of about 40 thousand manual procedures. Author of Russia's first series of popular science books on the spine, published in the post-Soviet space in the early 2000s.
In parallel with covering medical topics, A. Dolzhenkov began writing a historical and philosophical book on the origin of world religions, "The Hidden Truths of the Bible and the Koran". Having completed this multi-year, unusually large-scale work in 2007, he writes a number of articles against the incitement of the Third World War, including through the reconciliation of warring religious movements. He says: "...It is becoming extremely dangerous to live in the same old categories, dividing ourselves by state borders, dividing ourselves into our own and strangers in a world that is packed with weapons of colossal destructive power...".
Working persistently in the chosen direction, Andrey creates a series of short films about the mystery of the human Brain, traditionally intertwining their storyline with white spots in the history of mankind.
And finally, another work of A. Dolzhenkov is a new book "Spine. Problems. Solutions" (2024), which he believes is one of the best thematic books on the modern book market. Not to say so is to let it get lost among the many author's techniques that fail to help the most severe group of patients, as evidenced by the large number of spinal surgeries. In the United States alone, the author writes, about 500,000 spinal disc herniation surgeries are performed each year. The author of the book tells us what "latch" should be opened in the body and how not to let it close again, so that the disease began to recede without surgical intervention. A. Dolzhenkov believes that the system of global medical education should be independent of the commercial interests of the pharmaceutical industry. Doctors should understand why the disease starts to develop along a "malignant" path, which will save doctors from the need to work in the interests of a third party, and their patients from unnecessary suffering.
