The cervical osteochondrosis is characterized by degenerative dystrophic disorders of the intervertebral discs in the cervical spine.Metabolic disorders in intervertebral discs, which are actually special “seals” between the vertebrae in the cervix region, provoke the development of the violation of the roots of nerves and blood vessels.This is one of the characteristic symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis.It is due to the special anatomical structure of this spine.
One of the serious complications of cervical osteochondrosis can be a violation of the spine artery, which takes place anatomically in the holes of the cervical vertebrae.The growth of bone and fiber tissue due to dystrophic changes in the intervertebral discs can lead to a violation of the work of this artery.
A special anatomical device of the cervical spine in the form of a closer arrangement of the vertebrae to one another means that even a small injury of one of the vertebrae in the entire department leads to a violation.
Nerves and blood vessels are pressed and shifted much more frequently and more than in other places of osteochondrosis processes.The result of such compression is the development of some characteristic symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis, which we will talk about below.
At what age do people develop cervical osteochondrosis?
Cervical osteochondrosis is a fairly frequent regenerative disease of the spine, which has been "young" quickly in recent years.The diagnosis of osteochondrosis of the cervical region is increasingly being diagnosed by people between the ages of 25 and 40.
The doctors explain one of the reasons for such an early publication of a destructive spine through the fact that many young people spend most of the day in uncomfortable poses when they work on the computer.
The predisposing factors for the development of this disease also work with vibration mechanisms, hypothermia, accompanying diseases of the metabolic system, working with building equipment, improper attitude, inactive lifestyle, an unpleasant bed and a pillow, hereditary factors.
Recently, the doctors have been reduced in a number of predisposing factors, the training of the training process for athletes, a strong reduction in training volumes or the end of the training process, infectious diseases, stress and nervous overload and traumatic backlesions.
Stadiums of cervical osteochondrosis
Under the development stages of cervical osteochondrosis, they differentiate:
1. stage
It is characterized by the primary lesions of the intervertebral discs and is expressed in the form of an inconspicuous unstable system of the "vertically" system.
Level 2
A characteristic feature of this stage is the lead of the windows (the lead of the pulpo disc core core relative to the spine in the cerebrospinal channel with the phenomena of the fiber ring).The cracks are reduced between the vertebrae, the fibrous ring begins to collapse.The development of nerve roots provokes the development of pain symptoms.
Level 3
After all, fibrous rings are destroyed at this stage.The result of such a destruction is the hernia between hurricane.There is a serious deformation of the spine.
4. Level
Characterized by difficulty of movement.Every little movement in the neck brings heavy agony, which makes it difficult to move the patient independently.The quality of life falls considerably.The disease can improve regularly, the symptoms are smoothed out against the background of border border bone growth, which restrict the possibility of movement.
Symptoms of a neck osteochondrosis
The following should be listed by the main symptoms of a neck osteochondrosis:
- Pain symptoms in the neck, neck, shoulder and in the hands.Pain is usually painful;
- Difficulties to move on the neck accompanied by the joints.The crunch is particularly evident at the moment of the rotation or inclination of the neck.After crispy, relief in the form of a decrease in pain symptom is often felt that "the neck has increased in place";
- Weakness in the hands;
- Pull pain in the left side of the chest, which often gives the left hand;
- A burning feeling between the shoulder blades;
- Periodic headache;
- Increased fatigue;
- Characteristic radiation of pain (its distribution).It can often reach the shoulder zone to the hands;
- Complaints about the "fall and the passage of electrical current" on the hands and (or) the legs at the time of breaking the neck;
- A feeling of general weakness;
- Worse hearing, vision, ringing in the ears, deterioration in the condition of the bit, night snors, disorders in the work of the heart and lungs, impairment of the course of dizziness, nausea, deafness of the face and tongue, double and circles in front of the eyes.
These symptoms are due to an impaired nervous innperation.
Treatment of cervical osteochondrosis
In primary stages, cervical osteochondrosis does not require any special measures for his treatment because it does not cause the patient's special inconvenience.It is easy to adapt it using special measurements of prevention.
It is necessary to improve working conditions.Check your lifestyle and rest for the better, change the water regime (the small water flow in the body provokes the "dryness" of the intervertebral discs, which leads to your fast deletion), change the setting to harmful dependencies that can become provocateurs of degenerative-dystrophic changes in the spine (alcohol, smoking, some food).
In the heavy stages that usually develop over time, osteochondrosis requires treatment.Conservative therapy methods are used for this purpose:
- Massage,
- LFK,
- Carry social collar,
- Physiotherapeutic effects.
In severe cases, exacerbations of the disease, drug therapy should be connected to each other:
- Analgetics;
- Anti -inflammatory non -hormonal medication;
- Anti -spas modos;
- Electrophoresis, paraffin applications.
The chronic stage of osteochondrosis requires long -term Hondoprotectors that lasts over the years.
Also in the therapy of osteochondose of the cervical spine, vitamin injections (a group of vitamins B), various ointments, creams, gels that are stimulants of regenerating processes or contain the local care vessels.
Important!All information about the methods and methods for the treatment of cervical osteochondrosis that you have collected in this article are no instructions for action.The therapy protocol for osteochondrosis should be developed by an experienced doctor based on the clinical image of the disease, its symptoms and the general condition of the patient.Not a medication itself.
