Many people deal with the lack of physical activity today.Working boring work in the office, staying on TV at home, as well as improper food - this is the main cause of many diseases.One of them can be called osteochondrosis of the cervical area, one of the most mobile segments of the human spine.It is that a large amount of load is daily, because its main function is to hold the head.
The disease brings significant discomfort to the patient's life and is common in women and men.The disease is considered progressive, associated with degenerative-dystrophic intervertebral disc and therefore requires timely treatment for qualified medical treatment.
Reason -Secondary Development of Pathology
Osteochondrosis can affect all departments, but given the increase in the activity of the cervical region, it often develops.
The disease is divided into 4 main stages:
- The first is associated with the initial disruption of the vertebral disc, which is accompanied by unstable features, and the symptoms are slightly pronounced.
- The second - where the gap between the vertebrae is reduced and the destruction of the fiber ring begins, the nerve root violation and, consequently, the pain, may be.
- The third - when the destruction of the ring is in the final stage, the intervertebral hernia can form and there are often signs of spinal deformation.
- The fourth is the worst level when bone growth occurs and any movement becomes very painful and almost impossible, which without treatment can cause defects.
Currently, there is a significant detection of osteochondrosis in young people, including the cervical region.If the disease was previously considered to be age-related and found in patients aged 40, today young people aged 18-30 are also experiencing this problem.
The cause of the disease is as follows:
- Excessive weight problems;
- violations of posture and spinal curvature;
- The metabolic process is delayed in the body;
- various spinal trauma;
- heavy physical labor and significant systematic lifting;
- Classes of several sports, violations of the training process;
- Poor general physical training, in particular, weakness of the back muscle corset;
- systematic hypothermia;
- transferred to infectious diseases;
- Lifestyle sitting, lack of physical energy.
The reasons for the limitations of the cervical region's mobility are also typical.These are muscle cramps, deterioration of blood supply, nerve endings, narrowing holes between the vertebra and the development of the dystrophic process in the vertebral and intervertebral discs.
Symptoms of disease
Symptoms and signs of characteristics -Cervical osteochondrosis is the result of a violation of blood supply to the head and brain.This is due to the fact that the cervical area is saturated with blood vessels and thanks to them that the human brain is powered.
Symptoms of the pathological characteristics of the cervical department are as follows:
- Headache, which, depending on the level of the disease, can be severe and systematic;
- Dizziness for cervical osteochondrosis is often accompanied by loss of consciousness;
- Presence of features that ring in the ear, often a decrease in hearing;
- violations of movement coordination, walking;
- vision of vision;
- high temperature of the skin, and sometimes -sometimes high body temperature;
- Voice change, for example, the fun of voice or the presence of hoarseness;
- unsatisfactory tooth condition;
- finger numbness, cooling and feeling of weakness;
- pain in the neck, throat, pain in contact with scalp, sometimes toothache;
- Pain spreads to the hands, on the shoulders and strengthening with various turns or movements of the neck and head;
- Nausea or vomiting that can accompany severe pain.
Headache, mobility limitations and other symptoms can be present in complex and separate, and have different levels of intensity.As a rule, this directly depends on the specific objects influenced by the disease.On this basis, the disease is classified into coordinated radical syndrome, vertebral artery syndrome, spinal cord compression, radical syndrome, reflex syndrome and more.
Treatment of cervical spinal osteochondrosis
If the treatment of cervical spinal osteochondrosis is not present, then the patient may experience the common symptoms of untreated diseases (headache, memory deterioration, temperature, dizziness, etc.) and then face unpleasant consequences.For example, this may violate the circulation of cerebral caused by blood flow through the vessel.
To avoid this, a patient who sees the first signs of pathology, is necessary to seek qualified help.
To provide first aid to the patient, you can use painkillers and anti -anti -inflammation (tablets, ointments, injections).You can also apply for disruptive medications, for example, heating ointment with inner snake poison or based on a bee poison before visiting a doctor before visiting a doctor.When edema is formed, diuretics should be used or swollen with folk medicine, for example, herbal decoctions.To visit a doctor, it must be mandatory, regardless of the discharge of the patient during self -medication.
We do not cure persistent cervical osteochondrosis.
Cervical spinal osteochondrosis, as a rule, is diagnosed on the basis of patient complaints.To confirm the diagnosis, methods such as radiological examination, CT or MRI are used.
After confirming the diagnosis, the specialist prescribes the treatment depending on the level of the disease, the characteristics of the individual's individual health as a whole.Keep in mind that you can get rid of the problem with the help of the drug only at the beginning.In the treatment of pathology at the beginning of its development, treatment with folk medicine may be quite effective.
For more advanced stages of cervical osteochondrosis, their treatment is reduced to a decrease in discomfort, pain and physical suffering of the patient.With a competent and integrated approach, it is possible to eliminate the main symptoms of the disease and prevent the possibility of enlargement, as well as suspend the development of the pathological process in the spine.
Comprehensive treatment of the disease involves the use of traditional medicine and non -traditional methods.Also, at the level of forgiveness, additional treatment with folk remedies is allowed.
Some of the most common methods of treating the disease, the following can be observed:
- Vacuum therapy;
- treatment with medicines;
- acupuncture;
- laser therapy;
- Electrical stimulation;
- dry attraction;
- Magnetic treatment;
- Therapeutic gymnastics classes;
- Therapeutic massage courses, etc.
To get rid of the pain syndrome, as a rule, it is sufficient for patients to approve 1-3 treatment sessions.To unite positive therapeutic success, about 10-15 therapeutic sessions may be needed.After removing the acute level, they use gymnastics and therapeutic massages.This will help restore blood circulation and strengthen the muscles.
