Osteochondrosis is a relatively common disease of the cervical spinal, which occurs in dystrophic changes in cartilaginous tissue, in discs between vertebrates and the bone base. This pathology develops in many 30 -year -olds.
>Factors that stimulate the appearance of the disease
Cervical osteochondrosis can be developed under the influence of the following factors:
- excessive weight;
- sedentary work, inactivity;
- previous injuries on the spinal column;
- Mental disorders, too much, stress;
- poor physical training;
- spinal curvature, scoliosis, inappropriate posture;
- The wrong position of the body, which became a habit;
- tension in the neck, back during the operation;
- bias at genetic level;
- Unusual for the physical stress body, increased activity;
- Meals in the face.
The spinal cervical region has increased loads, which are the cervical muscles trying to be the result of balance during the impact of the above sources. This stimulates the appearance of spasm muscles, and there is a violation of blood behavior throughout the body. As a result, it is noted that anatomical damage is created.
Osteochondrosis size
In the process of developing cervical osteochondrosis, the discs between the vertebrates, due to the structure in discs, vertebrates, articulated fabric of the cervical region are weakened. The first step disease goes on almost asymptomatic, since the changes in the cartilage are just starting. In this case, a person complains about the appearance:
- headache;
- discomfort in the neck, the weapons, on the shoulders;
- mini -restrictions in neck motor activity;
- short -term reduction of visual function;
- Reduce sensitivity in the collar zone.
Sometimes the second stage has a small vertebrate hernia appearance, as well as narrowing the cracks between the vertebrates. Due to violation of nerve receptors, point pain is in the process of movements. Against second stage disease background, the patient notes the appearance:
- pain syndrome in the neck, by crunching with head movements;
- loss of sensitivity of the skin in the area of the army and shoulders;
- reduce the visual function;
- calling in the ears;
- numbness in the face and neck;
- Weaknesses in the hands;
- shooting pains introducing the shoulder blade;
- Disorders in sleeping functions.
>It is the difficult to wear with osteochondrosis in the third stage cervical region. At this time, hernia develops, the spinal column is deformed, changes in a position, it is noted that there is displacement in the ridge features. Together with this stage of the disease:
- pronounced pain in the neck area, myocardial, collar;
- Lack of skin sensitivity in the head, weapons and shoulders;
- paralysis of hands;
- Tendon recurring lack;
- Hernia formation in cervical vertebrates.
In the fourth stage (final) process, it is noted that symptoms are worse.
Signals
Symptoms of the disease in the neck are significantly different from osteochondrosis properties in another area of the vertebrate column. Since the cervical vertebrates are located close, the nervous roots and spinal cord are stuck.>The emergence of these signs arises from this:
- The pain syndrome is localized in the neck, sape, shoulders, arms and legs. At the time it goes into the process of nervous receptors, the appearance of uncomfortable sensations in the shoulder zone, the back of the head, rebuilding the hands. Due to spasm in the cervical muscles, blood circulation is affected.
- It is noted that weakness occurs in the upper ends, which involve damage to the functionality of the roots, which contributes to the inclusion of motor nervous muscular tissue in the hands.
- The upper limbs are rebuilt due to a reduction in sensitivity, violations of the roots in which the delicate nervous end is located.
- When turning the one, painful sensations are visible, you can also hear crunch. This is explained by damage in small joints in the cervical region, a reduction in the level of interverted discs.
- The patient complains about inadequate strength, fatigue appearance, dizziness, coordinated disorders. Due to the displacement of spinal elements, the vertebrate artery is pressed. Because of this, blood circulation is deteriorated, which means that blood supply is weakened to the Occipital and cerebellum section.
- It is noted that there are problems with vision, loss of sensitivity in the language.
Symptoms for cervical osteochondrosis in women are not different from signs in men. Women who have reached 45 -year -old and older, who are diagnosed with such a disease, cause numbness and tingling in the upper limbs in a dream.
What is the risk of osteochondrosis of the cervical region
The disease can damage the body as a whole. In the neck located in a significant amount of arteries, nervous receptors, blood vessels through which the brain is provided. If even a small disease occurs, they are pressed.This encourages the appearance of problems in blood supply to the brain.>As a result, it is noted that migraines, heart rhythm disorders, the appearance of problems with respiratory and visual function, are also impaired and attention is also drawn.
Against the background of osteochondrosis of the neck, such diseases can be formed:
- Pathologies in the brain;
- Arterial vessel syndrome in the spine;
- Spinal stroke.
The most severe difficulty is the death of the patient, which can occur when the spinal canal is being pushed. Symptoms and treatment of cervical osteochondrosis are due to the stage of the disease.
Therapeutic acts for cervical osteochondrosis
Therapy is prescribed for osteochondrosis of the cervical spinal, regardless of the patient's sexual gender. The treatment occurs in a number of steps:
- Remove painful productions.
- Eliminate swelling.
- Blood circulation to the norm.
- The muscles are set on the back, abdominal press, chest.
- Improve the quality of nutrition and regeneration of tissue.
If even insignificant symptoms of the disease are found, you must consult a specialist. With such pathology, an integrated approach is used, a surgeon, neuropathologist, physiotherapist and manual therapist is required.
For therapeutic purposes, against cervical osteochondrosis background, medicines, physiotherapy treatment, massage of the collar zone, and physiotherapy exercises are used, since it is quite effective in this condition.
Medicines
When detecting osteochondrosis of the neck, they are prescribed:
- Preparations to eliminate muscle spasms;
- Vitamin tools to improve metabolic processes in the central nervous system;
- Medicines from the NSAID group to reduce pain, eliminate the inflammatory process and swelling;
- The joints contribute to the joints, contributing to cartilage reform, disorders in the discs between vertebrates.
- Remedies are favorable to improve nervous tissue nutrition, regulate blood flow control into the brain.
First aid to deepen cervical osteochondrosis
Sometimes, if the syndrome becomes insurmountable, but can not visit a doctor, experts recommend to carry out analysis. To facilitate pain, you can resort to the help of a "pepper patch", but this tool only gives relief for a short while.The patch will help to heat the affected area and relieve pain for a while.>To get rid of the swelling, it is recommended to use herbal infusions for 3-4 days.
But it is worth considering that it will not work to come back from cervical osteochondrosis using such methods. These methods help to deal with symptoms of the disease only for a short time. To prescribe full therapy, you will need to contact a specialist help.
Physiotherapy procedures
As part of complex treatment, to improve the effect, use:
- Electrophoresis - Iain is an analgesic medicine penetrated into the area concerned due to current electrical effect. During the procedure, Novocaine or lidocaine is usually used.
- Laser therapy -it has anti -folded effect, it improves blood circulation through the impact of light.
- Magnetic therapy - it helps to get rid of edema in tissues, has an analogical effect.
- Ultrasound - helps to improve metabolism, anesthesia, remove the inflammatory process in the area concerned.
>Medical PE
Also, with cervical osteochondrosis, therapeutic exercises will help to improve the good. It is worth noting that pain or discomfort should not be accompanied by the performance of the exercises. Complex exercises:
- We lie down on the stomach and relax on the floor. The back should be even, and the head and body are perceived. We are joking in this position for about 2 minutes, and then we return to the initial position. We make 2-3 repetition.
- We go to the floor, we laid down on your back, out of your arms along the body. We then turn our head right then right, trying to touch the floor with the ear. We do the exercise 6-7 times in all directions.
- We sit on the floor. We take breath and take your head forward to try to contact the chest with it. On the exhale, we throw your head back. The exercise must be repeated 10-15 times.
- We sit on the floor, we press our hands on the walls and at the same time we reduce your head. The exercise must be done for about 30 seconds, repeated 2-3 times.
- Gently, slowly, we rotate with our head so that dizziness will not cause dizziness. In the case when the head started by dizzy, the exercise must be stopped. Rotation must then be made 10 n -time on the right.
Home treatment
Such therapy can only be used as part of a comprehensive treatment prescribed by a doctor.At home, you can resort to the help of folk remedies, physiotherapy and massage.>
With cervical osteochondrosis, you can use the following recipes:
- Place the horse sheet on sludge and fixed with a bandage or fabric. The sheet must be poured with warm water, and then cool to room temperature. Such a bandage is placed before bedtime and left until morning.
- Grate the potatoes and mix with honey in equal proportion. Apply to set up compression every 7 days.
- To weaken pain, heating will help with mustard, sandbag, pepper patch, etc.
>Before you use all funds, it is recommended that a doctor's consultation is sought.
Administration
Healing massage can be done at home. You must start a healthy area of the body, gradually moving to the area concerned. The massage complex should be selected taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient, the amount of neglect of the disease. The patient should do massage, and put it horizontally on the floor. You need to put your palms on your forehead, and my chin is going towards your chest. The muscles of the neck should be relieved.
Massage is made as follows:
- At first we massage the collar zone with torn movements.
- Then go to the squeeze. To do this, put your hands on the neck and soft along the spine. In addition, this technique can be used when it is towards the shoulders.
- To heat the neck muscles, we rub it. This will help the body relax, improve blood circulation. You must move from the skull along the spine using circular movements.
- The last movement is a vibration thanks to swinging and graduate.
Preventive acts
In order to prevent the development of cervical osteochondrosis, it is recommended:
- Sport (the perfect choice is to visit the pool).
- Enter products enriched with calcium and magnesium into the diet.
- Wash to several times during the day, especially when you are busy working.
- According to the requirements, instead of the pillow (low purchase) and mattress (you need quite hard). Follow the neck of the neck in a dream: the neck should take at least 15 degrees.
- Take a hot shower for at least 10 minutes during the day.
- People who do not welcome sport, doctors recommend that they serve periodically on a yoga section.
- Do not take part in simulators, as the good -minded can lead to deterioration.
