Of cervical osteochondrosis

A pain in the neck for women

The modern a lot of people who haven't heard of osteochondrosis. A lot of them, so have experienced several of the symptoms of this disease. The wide spread of the disease involves prolonged sitting at a computer, a passive lifestyle, poor diet, etc., osteochondrosis of the cervical spine is the share of pain, muscle weakness, limitation of mobility, with a whole range of other symptoms.

Don't ignore the signs of osteochondrosis, because the sooner you start treatment, the faster you get rid of the disease. In the early stages of the conservative therapy: medicines, physical therapy, physical therapy, massage, etc., Upon the occurrence of the incidents in the destruction of bone within the cartilage, the structure is allocated on the device.

What is the

Osteochondrosis of the neck is the pathology that is found only in humans. The animals do not suffer because of it. It is due to the vertical arrangement of the spinal column. In this position, the vertebrae compress with each other, which leads to the fact that in both the intervertebral discs are gradually destroyed.

The cervical consists of 7 vertebrae, which are separated drugs from each other, with the hard drives. The backbone of the network is enough, which is why it is one of the most vulnerable parts of the spine. The weakest link in the cervical spine is the intervertebral disc, which is primarily reflected in the degenerative changes.

The prevalence of cervical degenerative disc disease explained by the weakness of the muscle corset around the neck area. In addition, the city hosts the vertebrae in such a small size, a variety of structures too close to drug with the other. That is the reason why even a small load on the neck, it can trigger their movement in the compression of the blood vessels in the nerves of the branches. The pinching of the vertebral artery, which is placed in the interior of the spinal column in this area, there are some dangerous complications.

Osteochondrosis of the cervical spine (the SHOP) facing the protrusion (displacement, without the core the nucleus pulposus damage to the outer shell), and in a herniated disc. These structures compress the nerve bundles, vessels.

Due to the degenerative changes in the intervertebral disks, increases the chance of bone spurs (osteophytes) in the areas of the joints of the vertebrae. Because of the narrowed spinal canal in the education of the compressed neurovascular.

Help. To the medical statistics, In the iz, cervical osteochondrosis often affects people of age above 35 years of age. Although there is now a rejuvenation of the disease, which often develops in people 20 years of age. It is due to the predominantly sedentary lifestyle, the poor diet.

Doctors to find of the 4 stages of the pathology:

  • Stage 1 – begin to break down, the cartilage padding between the vertebrae. At this stage of the disease is to be cleared of the symptoms. Unfortunately, the patients to notice.
  • Stage 2 – the pressure of the vertebrae in a disc height is reduced, the integrity of the outer shell of your card. At this stage of the may manifest protrusion of the. There is pain, limited mobility of the neck, may be a violation of the sensitivity of the person.
  • 3 – protrusion of the transformirovalsya in a herniation, which is compression can be found in the muscles. In addition to the pain, the pain syndrome in the head and dizziness.
  • Level 4 – the formation of osteophytes stabilize the vertebrae, but a pinch of the nerve fibers. The pain does not go away, the stiffness, and damage of the adjacent vertebrae, and therefore lead to neurological symptoms.

It is important to treat the start of the 1 – and 2 stages in order to avoid the serious complications that can be corrected only surgically.

For the reasons

Osteochondrosis of the TRADE is the complex in a time-consuming process, which can occur under the influence of many negative factors.

For example, the elderly, the disease is associated with age-related changes in the body. Then the degenerative changes that occur as a result of the violation of local blood circulation, metabolism, the immune system is weak.

However, the physicians, therefore, find that the main causes of cervical degenerative disc disease:

  • Incorrect posture.
  • The curvature of the spine.
  • Injury to the cervical segment.
  • The excessive weight.
  • The physically Grueling of the company.
  • The long-term sitting at the computer.
  • The passive life-style.
  • A violation of the metabolic processes.
  • Common hypothermia of the neck.
  • An inappropriate organization of the bed (too soft mattress in the height of the pillow).
  • Frequent stress, chronic fatigue.
  • Congenital abnormalities in the structure of the STORE.
  • Auto-immune disease, which is caused by degeneration of the cartilage.
  • An infection of the.
  • The functions of the parts of the body, for example, a short or a very long neck.

Under the influence of these factors, it began to collapse as the structure of the bone tissue of the damaged nerve bundles, and blood vessels.

The symptoms of this

The clinical osteochondrosis image of the cervical spine (OSOP) wide. Patients are identified Due to the fact that it is difficult to understand what is going on with them. The early manifestations of the disease, and thus to blame for the fatigue. In the following the onset of the symptoms to rush to the doctor, but in this case, the irreversible changes which are already present in the restored structure of the cervix will not be able to do it.

A pain in the neck in osteochondrosis

The main symptoms of osteochondrosis cervical spine:

  • The pain spot on the neck, the shoulders.
  • The weakening of the muscles around the affected segment of the spine.
  • The excessive secretion of sweat.
  • The violation of the sensitivity of the upper limbs.
  • Disorders of coordination of movements.
  • Cephalalgia (headache).
  • Vertigo (dizziness).
  • Disturbances of hearing and vision.
  • Jump in your blood pressure, etc.

The nature of the headache with osteochondrosis of the highlights: paroxysmal, persistent, throbbing, dull. This is a symptom of that is due to a manifest spasm of cerebral vessels, the compression of the nerve fibers of the cervical, increase in intracranial pressure.

When OSHOP pain does not always appear on the neck of the location of the cervical segment, it can spread out of the shoulders, in your hands. The discomfort may occur after sleep, sudden motion, the tension in the neck, such as when you cough or sneeze.

Osteochondrosis the SHOP, the pressure surges, as observed, depending on the time of day, the constant high blood pressure language pathology. Usually, when the pressure of the you notice any of the following symptoms: cephalalgia, pain in the hands, numbness in the cervical area. The drop in pressure and, therefore, often have nerve or muscle tension, prolonged stay in an uncomfortable position.

Syndromes of cervical osteochondrosis

OSOP When there are multiple syndromes (typical of the country, which are accompanied by typical symptoms). Its manifestation depends on where the nerve branches of the blood vessels, so injured.

Syndromes of cervical degenerative disc disease:

  • The vertebral artery arises as a result of compression or irritation of the artery that feeds the brain. And then there is the patient who is suffering from hearing disorders, visual impairment, dizziness, pressure, headaches, etc
  • The heart – develops when the compression of the nerve bundles that Innervate the diaphragm the breast or the muscle. Then there is a burning pain in the chest, shortness of breath, nausea, and heart palpitation.
  • High blood pressure – the blood vessels is causing the compression, which is caused by impaired outflow of blood from the head. Then, the increased intracranial pressure, patients, who are suffering from cephalgia, nausea, vomiting.
  • Cervical migraine – caused due to compression of the nerves around the vertebral artery. Then there is the migrenepodobna a serious pain in the neck. Napad has a duration of about 10 hours and is often accompanied by an outbreak of vomiting.
  • The spinal column is a common symptom of the most ASAP. It is the result of compressing one of the nerve fibers in the vertebrae of the cervical segment. In contrast, the conductivity of the 1 2 the spine of the cervical vertebra, the sensitivity of disturbed, it is a pain in the neck. The damage, as well as 3 pairs of numb the tongue, the area behind the ears, it is difficult to chew food. Inflammation of the 4, the pair of roots are accompanied by pains in the collarbone, hiccups, difficulty in swallowing. If the violation of the conduction of a 5 to 8 pairs of nerve fibers, the patient is difficult to move the hands.
Help. Often, osteochondrosis of the cervical spine to be honored with several of the symptoms, and the diagnosis is difficult. Therefore, it is not necessary to understand it for yourself, it is best to consult with the experts.

The diagnosis of

If you don't know what to do if you see suspicious symptoms, it is best to consult with a health care provider. If necessary, your doctor will refer you orthopedist, spine, a neurologist.

With the diagnostic findings made, the following instrumental investigations:

  • The X-rays.
  • Computer or magnetic-resonant tomography.
  • Electroneuromyography.

All of the above information provides some of the studies of the cervical spine. For example, an x-ray, CT scan, MRI are used to detect the pathological change in the spinal structure. Electromyography allows you to assess the state of nerve fibres.

With radiography, which is in a different place projections, it is possible to detect an accumulation of calcium salts, and the reduction of the height of the cartilage pads between the vertebrae, the deformation of the SHOPS and the presence of bone spurs, etc.

The treatment of

One ASAP, must be complete. The decision on the choice of the methods employed by the doctor, depending on the stage of the disease, the severity of the symptoms.

The treatment of degenerative disease disk cervical spine is long, in the complex. The cure of the pathology is Complete, it is very unlikely, especially if we are talking about a patient of advanced age. However, if you want to stop the degenerative disorders in the cervical segment, it is possible, at any rate.

In the early stages of the disease apply conservative methods: medicines, physiotherapy, physiotherapy, massage, orthopedic appliances. Most of the methods above can be used in the home.

The 3 – and 4-stage ban that accompanied the destruction of not only the cartilage, but also the bodies of the vertebrae), it may require a surgical procedure.

If you want to get rid of the pain, inflammation, relax tense muscles, improve the condition of the cartilage tissue to help the following medications:

  • Medications to relieve pain. A pain for them to help you taking a pill for the metamizol sodium. For this purpose, they used a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents which make it possible not only to cope with the pain of the sore.
  • Steroids to stop inflammation in aches and pains. Be used For the purpose of the medication on the basis of the hormone, or in the form of pills ointment.
  • The muscle relaxants help to relax the spasms of the muscles around the damaged area. For this purpose, the use of the solutions of the parenteral journals, on the basis of benzimidazole. So to normalize the muscle tone in the reduce the pain.
  • Antispasmodics are such a help for the pain in the fight of the muscle spasms.
  • Vitamins to accelerate the recovery of the nervous system. To this end, take any medication on the basis of the elements of the groups a, b, A, C, D, E, and, in a Highly effective vitamin-mineral complexes.

By electrophoresis, the drug can penetrate into the center of inflammation through the skin, where it carries out its operations.

Massage normalizes muscle tone, improves blood flow to damaged areas, improves trophic tissues. After the completion of the course, which usually consists of 10 procedures, which is to stop the progression of the degenerative process in the cervical spine.

At home, you can use the Tibetan applicator is an appliance made out of plastic, with a lot of thorns. The device needs to go, or to use it to the affected area. The applicator helps to ease the pain, relaxes the muscles, improves the blood circulation in the body of the activity.

The collar of the Trench is used for aches and pains. For an orthopedic device, on the lock of the door in the correct position, reducing the load on the vertebrae in relieving the pain.

In the complex treatment of the patient will be able to get rid of a degenerative disc of the neck of the disease for good. However, it is possible, if the disease is detected in stage 1. Second, In the cases of the comprehensive measures which will help to stop the progression of the disease.

Chondrosis of the cervical

However, many people believe, osteochondrosis chondrosis in that it is one of the disease. However, this view is mistaken. The first of the diseases, which affect only the cartilage the vertebral spacer is in the second of degenerative changes in the bone tissue. That is, of chondrosis is the first stage in osteoarthritis.

Chondrosis of the cervical develops when it is disturbed metabolism of the intervertebral disc. After that, the collagen fibers are replaced by useless fibrous tissue, hyaline cartilage obyzvestvleniya, it becomes less elastic. Its the amount of decrease, which disrupted the function of the vertebral joints.

The causes of chondrosis in the osteoarthritis did not differ.

The cervical chondrosis has the following features:

  • The rapid fatigue of the muscles around the mall.
  • Incorrect posture.
  • Occasional discomfort or mild pain in the affected area.
  • The limited mobility of the neck.

As a rule, the patients do not notice symptoms of the chondrosis. The recognition of the disease by accident during an x-ray or an MRI.

THE TREATMENT OF CHONDROSIS

The plan of treatment, which is chondrosis of the neck is a little different from the tactics of the degenerative disc disease treatment. The first of the disease, doctors may prescribe nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in the hondroprotektory. In addition to this, the patient must avoid excessive physical activity or prolonged sitting. It is recommended that the provision of physiotherapy, eat right, give up bad habits.

Additional therapies include massage, manual therapy. Also, as shown, physiotherapy, for example, electrophoresis, ultraviolet and visible radiation, amplipulse, diadynamic therapy, balneotherapy, mud therapy. Its effectiveness in the treatment of chondrosis turns out, acupuncture (acupuncture).

Reviews

In the majority of cases, patients are able to get rid of the symptoms of cervical degenerative disc disease, for a while, and then came the illness. Usually, it is due to the fact that there is a patient searching for a later with a doctor, or it is not in line with the recommendations of the physician at the time of treatment.
