Cervical osteochondrosis is a chronic aseptic inflammation that affects the skeletal-muscular system, in particular intervertebral discs in the neck and sternum.
This disease leads to the growth of vertebra bone tissue and the narrowing of the intervertebral disc lumen.Cervical and thoracic spine injury with osteochondrosis is often due to processes impaired in intervertebral disc cartilage.The disease also has a chronic course, one person feels systematic, in some cases, insignificant, pain in the cervical and thoracic spine.In the presence of such symptoms, the patient should immediately contact a neuropathologist, but the most ideal treatment is complex therapy, including gymnastics and manual effects on affected areas.
The reasons for the development of cervical osteochondrosis
Osteochondrosis has a large number of causes of occurrence, but are often somehow associated with patient's inattention to their own health, and ignores the precursors of the disease.Among the etiological factors that launch the mechanism for the development of this disease include:
- Pathological deficiencies in the posture that occur due to the systematic curvature of the spine (bent in the back in a sitting position or when walking), while the neck and sternum are involved in the pathological process.
- Overweight.Overweight exerts strong pressure on the skeletal-muscular system, intervertebral discs, as well as other bone and cartilage elements that cannot deal with pressure over time and undergo dystrophic changes.
- Inactive lifestyle.A sedentary person often suffers from various diseases, such as osteochondrosis, so that the absence of minimum exercise contributes to a deterioration in the general state of the human body.
- Inadequate nutrition.It is scientifically proven that the general condition of a person depends on proper nutrition.A person should receive sufficient amounts of useful substances daily, especially when it comes to serious diseases.
- Violations of the hormonal fund caused by the use of various steroid medicines.The hormonal imbalance of the body is one of the possible sources of damage to intervertebral discs for osteochondrosis.
- Lesion in the spine.A person who has suffered traumatic damage associated with the spine automatically drops in the risk of winged muscle diseases.The level of risk depends on the nature of the lesion.
This is far from a complete list of all types of reasons for the appearance of cervical and mammary osteochondrosis, but includes the most common etiological factors.Therefore, with any suspicions of the spine pathology, in particular that affects the cervical spine, an immediate consultation of experts such as a neurologist, osteopath and exercise therapy doctor is required.
Cervical osteochondrosis: symptoms of the disease
Symptoms of cervical and thoracic spine osteochondrosis are often represented in the form of symptom complexes, such as:
- Vail Artery Syndrome.It occurs when compressing the vertebral spine vessels that the impulse for the lack of blood supply in the human body.This symptom complex is one of the root causes of dizziness, visual impairment, migraine, various ears in the ears and prolonged pain in the eyes.Such symptoms of cervical and thoracic spine osteochondrosis usually manifest during physical exertion, turning the head, slope, etc.
- Vertebral syndrome.At the same time, osteochondrosis manifests itself by various pain in the neck and between the scapa.
- Rook syndrome.This syndrome develops in connection with compaction cephalorean roots or the destruction of vertebral discs with thoracic osteochondrosis.The most common symptoms are systematic cough and sneezing.
- Spine syndrome.For such a syndrome with cervical osteochondrosis, neurological manifestations are characteristic.The patient exposed degrees degrees of motor functions of the body against the bottom of muscle hypotrophy.
Symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis are manifested by many pathological processes, while pain affects not only the cervical spine, but also other organs and systems.As a result, the patient has a frequent shortage of air, even with small physical exertion, the color of the skin changes (a gray shadow is observed), the pulse, systematic dizziness, insignificant but periodic chest, tired appearance and pronounced migraines.In addition, with damage to the thoracic and cervical spine, there is a marked release of hormones, which affect the patient's clear mood change.
The manifestations of thoracic osteochondrosis are often accompanied by the herniated protrusion of the intervertebral discs in the sternum.In addition, interdiscus hernia can occur with great regular physical effort and several other pathologies in the skeletal-muscular system;Therefore, in the presence of a hernia of this location, it is appropriate to perform dipdiagnosis.
Clinical manifestations of dystrophic changes in the spine combined with a hernia depend on the location and type of hernia.In the case of a lateral hernia, systematic pain is observed in a place of the formation of a hernia.I also noticed pain in the abdominal cavity.When the middle hernia appears, constant pain is observed, which have a severe against drugs.
The cervical spine is full of many blood vessels, which is why most signs of cervical osteochondrosis are caused by insufficient blood supply, ie a violation of blood circulation in this area.
The most common symptoms of this disease include:
- Systematic head pain.
- He said dizziness, which leads to periodic loss of consciousness.
- A clear (even insignificant) impairment of hearing.
- Reduced vision.
- Changing the voice, the appearance of squeaking.
It is important to remember that the human body requires constant attention and appropriate care;Therefore, you should systematically visit the doctor and check your body in search of potential diseases.In addition, cervical osteochondrosis can be expressed completely different and have different effects on one person.In addition, timely treatment of the disease will increase the chance of complete recovery of the patient.In order to significantly reduce the risk of developing this disease, it is recommended to perform several exercises with the load in muscle structures and spine.
Treatment of cervical osteochondrosis with osteopathic methods
To date, the treatment of almost any severe disease associated with the skeletal-muscular system can be performed not only with the help of surgery and medicines, but also more securely.Osteopathic techniques are actively practiced.
Once the diagnosis is established, the patient begins to take medications to eliminate pain and normalize all internal processes in the human body.Along with drug treatment, an osteopath is selecting a set of manipulations that eliminate the cause of disease and pathological processes in the cervical and thoracic spine.At the same time, the patient is recommended for the therapeutic physical culture (exercise therapy), thanks to which he can restore and normalize his health.
Treatment of osteopathy helps the patient get rid of pain, normalize health and get rid of osteochondrosis.Osteopath Through the physical impact on the human body restores the circulation of cephaloreal liquid, normalizing blood circulation in the affected areas, performs several complex manipulations, which allow to gradually restore the parts of the cervical pile of the spine.The opportune treatment with osteopathy helps prevent the development of the disease.
