Incorrect posture, long -lasting work on your computer, not enough or too soft beds, it is customary to keep your phone's shoulder when your hands are busy - any of these factors can cause osteocondrosis of the cervix.
This disease usually affects people over the age of 40, but has recently become significantly widespread among young people.
Cervical signs of osteochondrosis
- Chondrosis of the cervical vertebrae is usually accompanied by the file pain of the day and the pain on the side of the neck (unless it is a neglected stage of the disease).In this regard, patients have problems with the movement of the head: turning, inclination and other movements cause an increase in pain.In this case, it already goes beyond the cervix region and spreads along the hand, making the effect of shock.
- In addition to the pain, the cervical osteochondrosis appears in the vision of vision, the weakening of the hearing aid and the harmful work of small (denial of flavor receptors) and high numbness of the tongue and face).
Symptoms of the initial stage of the disease
In the body, the process of separating water molecules begins, ie the dehydration reaction continues.As a result, the cervical vertebrae are planted, and then the elasticity of the league and muscle tissue is lost and become a "pending position".As a result, a decrease in the cervical spinal tank levels occurs: the muscles get closer to the ligaments of the adjacent plate, which violates the integrity of the cervical vertebrae.Such errors include the error in the cervical vertebrae: they lose the fixation, to shift and move.
Inconvenience in his neck
The most obvious sign of the disease is cervical or sharp periodic pain.From the occlital part they are placed on the collar bone, shoulder and sometimes to the chest, which may cause suspicion of angina pectoris.The pain increases as it turns the head tilt and rotation and deep breath, most often at night.
A violation of sensitivity
As a result of the violation of the vegetative-vascular system, the level of skin sensitivity is reduced in certain areas of blades, shoulders and hands.This symptom is accompanied by tingling, weakness and coldness.
It's a boring pain
The third list of signs of the signs of osteochondrosis is the third painful pain, which only occasionally calms down.It usually increases at night and when it decides the body with a tilt below 45 °.The pain that this pain occupies: the neck, shoulder and forearm itself.
The acute period of the disease
In the last, neglected phase, cardinal changes can be observed in intervertebral discs: their protrusion and prolapse are formed.The spinal engine segment is not unequal, unstable: it does not perform its functions.The unko-spine and intervertebral joints are exposed to errors such as arthrosis and subluxation.
All of these changes arise the body's protective reaction: to normalize the increased mobility of the spine and to restore spinal support and protective functions, the protectors begin to "insert" the spinal engine segment, limiting its further movement.
Sharp, penetrating neck pain
Acute pain in the neck, more often in the occlital part, muscle surge, hypothermia, high physical activity or uncomfortable situation as a result of sleep.That is, all the causes of the disease itself are directly related to the errors of the cervix.Every other day you can go by itself and stay longer if osteochondrosis develops at an accelerated rate.
Headache
The headache spread from the occlital part of the neck to the crown and forced the patient to explode and press.Pain is accompanied by many other symptoms: Paresthesia, visual and hearing disorders, constant discomfort in different parts of the body - all of these signs, including painful pulses of the head, associated with the spine arteries.When pulled back, a sharp turn to the side or tendency, these signs are new, with greater force on the patient.
Dizziness
Dizziness can be constant, but weak and can continue for several hours and is so strong that the balance is completely lost and a person falls while a person is not associated with the cervix is high.
If the head is damaged in the autumn, the disease reaches the extreme danger and the chances of healing quickly reduce to zero.To avoid fatal results, the damaged area should be massaged regularly in the cervical vertebrae in the early stages of osteochondrosis, improving blood circulation and getting rid of stupid and/or acute pain.
Noise in the ear
Chronic "background" noise, ringing and sometimes pulsating pain in the ear trigger the malfunction of the nervous system: the brain ceases to detect the surrounding environment and conditions.
A patient with cervical chondrosis becomes an irritable, aggressive, non -working person, loses his ability to think reasonably and get rid of obsessive thoughts.In other words, relaxation becomes almost impossible, and it leads a person to depression.
It is only after a while that the consciousness is lost, thus providing at least some rest.But this does not affect the work of the body.
Again, in order to prevent such differences from the norm, you need to massage the collar region, neck and head.Exercises must be complicated to cover all the zones to be repaired.The purpose of the massage is to continue the proper functioning of the cervical vertebrae, to strengthen and stretch the cervix and shoulder muscles.
Treatment of osteochondrosis
The first stage of the disease
In the initial stages of the cervical vertebrae osteochondrosis is not dangerous.Does not require medications or intensive treatment.All you need is prevention, namely:
- active and healthy lifestyle;Useful products that contain the necessary muscle and bone weight elements and moderate number of calories;
- Regular breakfast exercises, and better - active or at least feasible sports;
- Rejection of alcohol, tobacco and excess caffeine;
- to avoid rising heavy objects (often the mass of patients with multiple osteochondrosis);
- Constant observation of posture (must be in a direct position and in a sitting position);
- The right, comfortable bed that repeats the bends of the body;
- Special exercises for the neck.
The progressive stage of the disease
When osteochondrosis comes into serious forms, the therapeutic process is special collar, exercise, physiotherapy and massage.
Once the disease has become a complicated form, it is time to require medication.Effective tools: anispasmodics, analgesics and NSAIDs.Paraffin, drug -electrophoresis and physiotherapy procedures performed by other drugs can also be a positive effect.
Chronic character
The last phase of osteochondrosis of the cervical vertebrae is chronic.In this case, chondroprotectors and vitamins B6, B12 are used.Supplementary drugs -Over the ointments, gels, creams, non -steroid anti -inflammatory components and drugs for tissue regeneration.
Clinics with the treatment of osteochondrosis of cervical vertebrae offer various therapeutic procedures:
- vacuum therapy;
- acupuncture;
- laser therapy;
- Manual therapy (postisometric relaxation);
- dry grip;
- Drug tour;
- electrical stimulation;
- Magnetopuncture.
These methods are effective at any stage of the disease, including the latter.The procedures themselves are implemented on an outpatient basis and are based on comprehensive programs aimed at implementing the symptoms and causes of the disease.
The course of full treatment involves 10-15 sessions and only elimination of a specific syndrome that causes discomfort is 1-3 sessions.
Like most diseases, osteochondrosis requires a preventive approach.At the beginning of the disease, one must "get anxiety" and treat treatment.After all, there is no guarantee from the progression of the disease, so keep in mind that victory over the disease is a healthy lifestyle and treatment before the symptoms of pain.
