Cervical osteochondrosis is characterized by a degenerative disease of the cervical intervertebral disc.Metabolic diseases in the intervertebral disc are actually special “washers” between the vertebrae in the cervical vertebrae, which causes the development of infringement of nerve and blood vessel roots.This is one of the characteristics of cervical osteochondrosis.This is due to the special anatomy of this spine.
One of the serious complications of cervical osteochondrosis may be an invasion of the spinal cord artery, which occurs anatomically in the foramen of the cervical spine.The growth of bone and fibrous tissue that occurs due to malnutrition changes in the intervertebral disc can lead to violations of the work of this artery.
A special anatomical device of the cervical spine, arranged on one another in a tighter arrangement of vertebrae, leads to the fact that even a small invasion of one of the vertebrae can cause violations throughout the department.
The nerves and blood vessels are compressed and moved, rather than the frequency of other osteocartilage degeneration processes, more frequently.The result of this compression is the development of some characteristic symptoms of characteristic cervical osteochondrosis, which we will discuss below.
At what age do people develop cervical osteochondrosis?
Cervical osteochondrosis is a fairly common regenerative disease of the spine and has rapidly become “young” in recent years.More and more people diagnosed with osteochondrosis in the cervical area are performed by people aged 25 to 40.
Doctors explain one of the reasons for the destructive spine so early, and the fact that many young people spend most of their time in uncomfortable positions while working on computers.
In addition, the attractive factors for the development of this disease are the use of vibration mechanisms, hypothermia, metabolic system diseases, working with building equipment, improper posture, inactive lifestyle, uncomfortable beds and pillow beds and genetic factors.
Recently, doctors have reduced the number of training in many attractive factors, training in athletes’ training process, a sharp reduction in training volume or cessation of the training process, infectious diseases, stress and neurologic hypertherapy, and post-traumatic lesions.
Stages of cervical osteochondrosis
During the development stage of cervical osteochondrosis, they distinguish:
Phase 1
It is characterized by the main lesions of the intervertebral disc and is expressed in the form of an unstable system with the “vertic” system.
Stage 2
One feature of this stage is the herniation of the disk (the protrusion of the lung disc nucleus relative to the vertebrae and annulus in the cerebrospinal canal relative to the protrusion of the vertebrae column).Between the vertebrae, the cracks decrease and the annulus begin to collapse.Pinching of nerve roots can cause the development of pain symptoms.
Stage 3
At this stage, the fibrous ring was finally destroyed.The result of this destruction is a disc hernia.Severe deformation of the spine.
Stage 4
Characterized by difficulty of movement.Any, even small movements around the neck can cause serious torture, so it is difficult to move the patient independently.The quality of his life has dropped significantly.This condition can be improved regularly, and the symptoms are compensated in the context of vertebrae growth, which limits the possibility of exercise.
Symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis
Among the main symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis, the following should be listed:
- Symptoms of pain in the neck, nape, shoulders and hands.Usually, pain is in pain;
- It's difficult to move around the neck, accompanied by a bunch of joints.The tightening is particularly apparent at the moment of rotation or neck tilting.After tightening, relief is usually felt in the form of alleviating pain symptoms, and the patient says "the neck has risen."
- Weakness in hands;
- Pulling pain on the left side of the chest is usually given to the left hand;
- The burning feeling between the shoulder blades;
- Regular headaches;
- Increase fatigue;
- Characteristic irradiation of pain (its distribution).It usually reaches the shoulder area of the hand.
- Complaints about the “current overturning and passing through” on the hands and (or) legs when the neck is bent;
- a general feeling of weakness;
- Hearing, vision, ear sounds, teeth condition, nighttime hits, heart and lung interference, dizzy gait damage, nausea, numbness of the face and tongue, gait disorders in front of the eyes and circles.
These symptoms are due to impaired neuronal innervation.
Treatment of cervical bone and chondropathy
In the primary stage, cervical osteochondrosis does not require special measures to treat, because it does not cause special inconvenience to the patient.It is easy to adjust with the help of observing special precautions.
It is necessary to improve working conditions.Reflecting on your lifestyle and having a better rest, changing the state of water (the water flow in the body is small, and the “drying” of the discs causes “drying” of the discs, resulting in their rapid erasure), changing attitudes toward harmful dependence that may become provocations for spinal degeneration-type irritating changes (alcohol, smoking, smoking, some food Habits).
In severe stages that usually develop over time, osteocartilage will require treatment.To this end, conservative treatments were used:
- massage,
- LFK,
- Wearing a social collar,
- Physical therapy effects.
Drug therapy should be associated in severe cases, which exacerbates:
- painkillers;
- Anti-inflammatory non-hormonal drugs;
- Reflux;
- Electrophoresis, paraffin application.
The chronic stage of osteochondrosis will require long-term Hondoprotector, which will last for many years.
Similarly, in the treatment of cervical osteochondrosis, vitamin injections (a group of vitamin B), various ointments, creams, gels, they are irritating to the regeneration process or irritating to the local foster.
Important!No information you collect in this article about the methods and methods of treating cervical osteochondrosis is an action guide.Treatment options for osteochondrosis should be formulated by experienced doctors based on the disease, symptoms and overall patient status.Don't intervene yourself.
