O. Safonicheva THE ROLE OF THE EMOTION STRESS IN THE FORMATION OF ADAPTATIONAL DISEASES
Department of Manual Medicine, I.M. Sechenov Moscow Medical Academy, Russia

Stress is known to be the reason of psychosomatic diseases, such as infarct, hypertension and many other adaptationаl diseases. On the other side, the problem of the endoecological crisis is being discussed by leading specialists of different branches of medicine. More specifically this problem is formulated by Academic V.P. Kaznacheev: If a majority of the population of Russia suffer from toxification of the body, we can talk about a new type of specific epidemic of endoecological disease, various clinical forms of which are realizing in numerous nosologic variants”. We would like to suppose the post-stress reactions to become the non-specific base of psychsomatic diseases.

Materials and methods: 475 patients with combination of musculoskeletal pain in the cervical part of the vertebral column and visceral problems were examined.

The main complains were: chronic headache, and rigidity in the shoulder girdle, pain in the chest, syndrome of chronic tiredness, chronic respiratory infections, and various visceral organs syndromes.

Visual diagnostic and palpation were used to indicate express-diagnostical criteria of poor lymph outflow and mechanical obstacles that lead to retrograde lymph flow at all stages of its movement to subclavicular veins.

Clinical examination (visual coordinate method and palpation) revealed pathobiomechanical disturbances: shorten muscles of the anterior part of the chest and neck, kyphosis of the chest, hyper extension of the neck region of the spine, ventral and frontal displacement of the gravity centre; and lymphodynamical disturbances - edematosity of the axillary and subclavicular zones. Clinical observation allows us to offer some statements: Discussion: Non-specific muscle syndromes can be called syndromes of uncompleted movements” since lower thoracical, lumbal and sacral regions of vertebral column make fixated position opposite to the fixated position of upper thoracical and cervical regions of the spine.

Musculoskeletal pain is caused to displacement of gravity center and located in overburden muscles of lower extremities and trunk that try to return the body to the vertical axis.

New chains of non-specific base of adaptationаl diseases are:

emotional stress - the psychomotor reaction of the body (because e-motion” means external motion) lead to muscle spasm and redistribution of liquid between muscle level and skin level. Trigger points are formed in muscles and depot of interstitial liquid is formed in the skin corresponding to neurolymphatic points. Those points of additional fixation keep the dysfunction of muscles, compression of underskin nerves, vessels, lymphatic nodes and blocade interstitial liquid circulation.

Disturbances in the connective-tissue construction lead to formation of 3-levels tunnels as syndrome of upper aperture of the chest”: intervertebral (compression of nerves), intramuscular (compression of vessels) and intrafascial (compression of lymphatic nodes). Retrograde lymph flow and toxification of the body are suppose to become the grain for specific pathological processes.

The scheme of non-specific correction of biomechanical, lymphatic disturbances and restoration the centre of gravity using soft-tissue non-traumatic manual techniques is worked out in Moscow medical academy. The meridian release technique is specific diagnostical and therapeutical method of manual medicine that base on principles of energy-flow through the meridians and informational qualities of connective tissue. Conclusion.

  1. Stress emotion reaction (as the reply in the case of unpleasent, unuseful information) - is always psychomotor reaction. Muscle spasm is the beginnig in the chain of formation of 3-levels tunnels: intervertebral for nerves, intramuscular for vessels and intrafascial for lymphatic nodes.
  2. Biomechanical and lymphatic disturbances suppose to be the main non-specific base and reason of the musculoskeletal pain syndromes and psychosomatic diseases.
  3. Soft - tissue manual therapy promotes balanced functioning of systems, providing circulation rate autoregulation for optimal work of the brain, visceral organs, musces and all tissues. This technique we recommend to use not only as a therapy, but also as prevention
