Cervical osteohondrosis: Symptoms and treatment

Cervical osteochondrose is characterized by degenerative-dystrophic disorders of intervertebral discs in the Grlić spine.Metabolic disorders in intersecutors, which are, in fact, special "seals" between vertebrae in the cervical area, provoke the development of violations of nerve roots and blood vessels.This is one of the characteristic symptoms of cervical osteochondrose.This is due to the special anatomical structure of this spine.

One of the severe complications of cervical osteochondorosis can be a violation of the spinal artery, which is anatomically takes place in the holes of cervical vertebrae.The growth of bones and fibrous tissues that occurs due to dystrophic changes in interviolent discs can lead to violating the works of this artery.

A special anatomical device of the cervical spine, in the form of a closer schedule of vertebrae, leads to the fact that even a small violation of one of the vertebral causes a violation throughout the department.

Nerves and blood vessels pressed and moved, much more often and more than with other Osteochondorosis process locations.The result of such compression is the development of some characteristic symptoms of cervical osteochondrose, which we will discuss below.

In what age do people develop cervical osteochondrose?

Cervical osteohondrose is a pretty common regenerative spine disease, which has been fast "young" in recent years.More often, the diagnosis of osteochondrose of the cervical region consists of people aged 25 to 40.

Doctors explain one of the reasons for such an early appearance of the destructive spine due to the fact that many young people spend most of the day in unpleasant calls when working on the computer.

Also, predisposition factors for the development of this disease work with vibration mechanisms, hypothermia, accompanying diseases of the metabolic system, working with construction equipment, irregular holding, inactive bed and pillow, hereditary factors.

Recently, doctors are reduced in many prediseable factors, training processes in athletes, a sharply reduction of training or termination process, infectious diseases, stress and nervous lesions and traumatic lesions.

Stages of cervical osteochondrose

Among the stages of cervical osteochondrose development, they differ:

1. Phase

It is characterized by the primary lesions of interverters and are expressed in the form of an inconspicuous unstable system of the "Vertic" system.

2. Phase

The characteristic characteristic of this phase is the disk protrusion (the fulpian core protrusion compared to the column of vertebrae in the cerebrospinal channel with the appearance of a fibrous ring).Between vertebra, cracks are reduced, the fibrous ring begins to assemble.Choking nerve roots causes the development of pain symptoms.

3. Phase

At this stage, fibrous rings are finally destroyed.The result of such destruction is intervertebral kiels.There is a serious spine deformation.

Fourth phase

Characterized by the difficulty of the movement.Any, even a small movement in the neck brings heavy pain, which makes it difficult to move the patient's self-moving.The quality of his life is significantly falling.Terms can be improved occasionally, symptoms are smoothed against the background of intervertebral bone growth, which limit the possibility of movement.

Symptoms of cervical osteochondrose

The main symptoms of cervical osteochondrose, should be listed:

  • Symptoms of neck pain, tire, shoulder and in their hands.Pain, as a rule, pain;
  • Difficulties in the movement in the neck, accompanied by a wrist crisis.Crunch is especially clearly cleared at the time of rotation or neck slope.After the crisis, relief often feels, in the form of a fall of symptoms of pain, patients say "neck rose in place";
  • Weakness in their hands;
  • Dragging pain on the left side of the chest, which often gives the left hand;
  • Burning sensations between shoulder blades;
  • Periodic headaches;
  • Increased fatigue;
  • Characteristic radiation of pain (its distribution).Often can reach the arms of the hand;
  • Complaints to "Drills and passage of electricity" on their hands and (or) legs at door bending;
  • A feeling of general weakness;
  • Ear worse, vision, ringing in ears, deterioration of teeth, interference in the work of the heart and lungs, damaged stroke of dizziness, nausea, double and circles before eye.

These symptoms are due to damaged nervous innervation.

Methods for cervical osteochondrose treatment

At the primary phases, cervical osteochondrose does not require special measures for its treatment, because the patient does not cause special inconveniences.It is easy to adapt to it with the help of observing special prevention measures.

It is necessary to improve working conditions.Review your lifestyle and rest for better regimen (a small flow of water causes "dryness" of intervertebral discs, change the attitude towards harmful dependents that can become provocating degenerative-dystrophical changes in your spine (alcohol, smoking, some food habits).

In severe phases that usually develop over time, osteochondrosis will require treatment.Conservative methods of therapy are used for this:

  • Massage,
  • LFK,
  • Carrying social necklaces,
  • Physiotherapy effects.

Drug therapy should be associated in severe cases, deterioration of the disease:

  • Analgesics;
  • Antinupal nonhormonic drugs;
  • Antispasmodics;
  • Electrophoresis, paraffin applications.

The chronic stage of osteochondrosis will require long -tterm hondoprotectors, which lasts over the year of taking.

Also, in the therapy of osteochondrose of cervix, vitamin injections (vitamin b), various fats, creams, gels, which are stimulants of regenerative processes, or containing local foster systems.

Important!All information on the methods and methods of cervix osteochondorosis, which you collected in this article, is not a guide to action.The therap protocol for osteochondrosis should develop an experienced doctor, based on the clinical picture of diseases, its symptoms and the patient's general condition.Not only with a session.
