Cervical osteochondrosis- This is a disease, which is the process of violating nutrition or gradual destruction of the cartilage of the tissue of intervertebral joints and neck disks.
How easy to wear your head on your shoulders?
If it's hard to turn your head when your name is on the street, if your neck doesn't hold the word and causes you only the pain, and then it's time to check out for osteochondrose.
It is part of the cervix that is most prone to injuries, because it is the most economical and at the same time there is a weak muscle cass. On small mobile vertebrae, the body creates a large load. And the spinal channel itself is quite narrow. Easily squeezed on any pressure on it.
Thousands of people feel the severity in the back of the head or tingling in their hands. And, without doubting the danger, they call such physiological manifestations by fatigue, and a nearby cold. Many blood vessels and nerve endings are concentrated in the neck. With osteochondrose, the vertebrate artery is a grip, which provides cerebellum nutrition, oblong brain and rear part of the brain. As a result, a person's movement is possible, the loss of feelings of balance is possible, sight, listening to worsen, and sometimes this phenomenon leads to stroke.
Fact. According to the statistics of WHO, people aged 30 to 40 suffer from cervical osteochondrose. Doctors explain this trend by mass reducing physical activity. And the prevalence of this disease in industrialized countries equalizes 60-80%.
Syndrome and symptoms of osteochondrose
- Stenosis (spinal channel narrowing syndrome): Solid boats of spinal cords of interverter discs, osteophytes (growth of tissue bones) or thickened vertebral ligament. As a result, blood circulation in the affected area is disturbed. The person begins to feel limited, he feels a noticeable pain in the Grlić spine. Stiffness and tingling found in the upper and lower extremities
- Rook syndrome: Solid entrance nervous roots. This leads to headaches expressed in pain, ignition or pulsating impulses, sometimes sensations are similar to the symptoms of hypertension. In this syndrome, there is a lack of speech and weakened fragrance, facial muscle hypertrophy, can be sensitivity of language muscles, the feeling of "clogging" throats with clumps. Breathing becomes an interruption, a person suffers from snoring, would often seem unreasonable, "he passed his nose.
- Vail Artery syndrome: It is formed during the compression of the vertebrates of the artery. The main satellite is pulsating pain. Attacks can catch a parietal share, a surface above the eyebrows, temporal and occipital shares.
- Cardian syndrome:It settles the attacks by Angine Pectoris, but their duration is much higher. The pain is reflected in the diaphragm. In some individuals, this phenomenon follows increased blood pressure, arrhythmia.
The main causes of disease development
- Metabolism failures;
- Lifestyle with low motorcycle activity;
- Hereditary predisposition;
- Age-unified ossification;
- Muscle clamps, as a result of which changes to hold;
- Lack of liquid and vitamins in everyday diet;
- Long stay in an unpleasant position that increases pressure on discs and spines;
- Surplus weight or spine overload due to carrying a heel;
- All types of spinal injuries transferred;
- Regular weight lifting;
- Autoimmune diseases (the process of the self-sales immune system), leading to the degeneration of cartilage tissue;
- Stress, leading to muscle cramps and violation of blood flow to intervebrelal disks;
- Hypothermia.
Diagnosis of cervical osteochondrosis
Starting the diagnosis of the "osteochondrose of the cervical correct department" or only a cisternal department can make a doctor already during the initial patient examination. The expert will determine:
- The type of person's physics;
- Posture;
- Line of splins processes;
- Side contours of the cervical side and the corner of the spatula location;
- Localization of pain points and pain levels;
- Amplitude of spine flexibility
- Muscular relief.
All this will tell you exactly how the disease flows. Furthermore, the doctor will send to numerous examinations:
- Digital radiography;
- CT (calculated tomography);
- MRI (magnetic resonance);
- Ultrasonic Dopplerography of the main brain arteries: A special ultrasonic sensor determines the state of blood flow and walls of blood vessels.
Methodology of treatment for osteochondrosis of cervix
The doctor will help choose the most optimal solution to the problem. And he will offer different treatment methods: a drug in combination with physiotherapy or prescribes a work that saves your body.
Conservative treatment- This is, above all, medicine therapy. It alleviates pain, relieves muscle tension and turn off the inflammation. For such purposes, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and analgesics are prescribed. Chondroprotectors also belong to the list of recipes to activate recovery processes in the tissue cartilage in the joints, as well as group B vitamins and external drugs: gels and fats containing NSAIDs.
Physiotherapy, In its turn, it satives nutrients with interverter's cartilage tissue nutrients and contributes to cartilage regeneration. The doctor will also write exercises for therapeutic gymnastics - strengthen muscle corset and develop flexibility of ligamental apparatus. You can spend an introductory lesson with you to properly perform exercises properly properly.
Surgical treatmentIt is suitable if drugs and physical effects cannot be issued. He turned to him if the patient has a spine channel catastrophic narrow. Operating intervention is called the front discoctomy of cervix. The surgeon immobilizes the affected spine segment and removes the intervertebral kilina, which presses on the spinal nerve. Over time, the vertebrae, between which the disc was removed, fed. This is called spondylodesis. For more than one, the specialist can conduct a cage stabilization operation - that is, the intervertebral space is filled with an artificial insert.
After 3-5 days, she was operated in the prescribed from the hospital hospital. Rehabilitation lasts an average of about 3 months and depends on the established implant and professional patient activity.
What is the best way to build a human way of life with a diagnosis of osteochondorosis doors?
The daily routine should contain mandatory walks, while jumping and running is better avoided. It has long been contraindicated to spend time in a sitting position, swimming is useful - not only strengthens muscular tone, but also alleviates the cramps of body mitigation. In the evening, it will not be redundant for a hot shower (with the exception of the cervical treatment period during the disease exacerbation). It is important to follow a diet. Use products saturated with magnesium and calcium - walnuts, dairy products and seafood, legumes. We will have to leave alcohol.
Is it possible to visit the sauna during the worsening of osteochondrose?
Usually heating is useful for the patient, but after increased praise, you will need to refuse to dive into cold water. You can't run out frost. Otherwise, disease will come. Cervikal osteochondrosis is sensitive to any temperature differences, including climatic. For example, autumn cooling can negatively affect the benefit of the person.
What complications can occur after the osteochondrose of the cervical region?
If the first signs of the disease occur, and not start the course of treatment, then the neck can stop hurting in a literal sense of words. And complications of this disease are quite serious. There is a risk of protrusion - thus-the corded "protrusion" of the intervertebral disk outside the spine, which is subsequently able to acquire the shape of Hernia. Live roots in the neck can be hurt. Osteophytes will appear (osteophytes will appear. Words are often aware of muscles or parewares, are the violations of the brain. The violation of this blood circulation is one of the most serious phenomena. Non-delinquency for treatment can lead to neuralgia, Deafness and even visual loss. But if you deal with a solution to the problem even at the early stage of its development, the disease can be prevented.
Why do you need a chantsis collar?
This is an orthopedic latch made of flexible material, which is used for the immobilization of the door in the treatment of cervical osteochondrosis. But it is impossible to carry such a device for long fixing the door, because the muscles can weaken over time, and you will get used to the inhumage tilt your head on the side without additional support. Resent Chansa does not allow vertebrae to move and retain corrective effect after the massage session. He takes over the weight of the head and distributes it equally to the necklaces and base the door. At the same time, the head remains in the right position.
