Osteochondrosis cervical often develops in adults, but due to certain cases, a child may occur. When any sign of such a disease appears, you should contact a therapist or a narrow configuration expert-a neuroscientist.
The destruction of degeneration-Dystrophic of the cervical disk of the spine characterizes the cervical joint disease. The gradual progression of the disease leads to damage to the middle joints, adjacent vertebra and ligament movement. Many people believe that bones and joints are the deposition of salt. However, such a statement is basically wrong. Salt can actually be deposited in different joints, but for other diseases, for example, due to the development of gout.
Thanks to the muscular and spine system of the neck, including seven vertebrae, organized. In this field, the muscles are underdeveloped, so due to long -term stress, fatigue occurs and spasms appear. In the future, the ability to move the cervical vertebrae becomes limited. As a result of this condition, the spinal disks were gradually destroyed, causing the beginning of the first stage of osteoarthritis. In case of no treatment, the disease is constantly progressing, causing all the larger lesions of the spine. In order to prevent the development of complications, it is necessary to pay attention to the first signs of disease promptly and implement appropriate measures.
Typically, people who like cervical joints face people with a minimum of lifestyle to provide physical activity and sedentary work. In such a person, with the largest probability, the first features can be shown at the age of 25-30. Among children from newborns to adolescents, the disease is less common, but can also occur due to inaccurate lifestyle or genetics, other uncomfortable factors.
The stage of pathological development and their inherent symptomsThe whole development of osteoarthritis of the cervical spine is divided into 4 main stages, each stage accompanied by certain symptoms. Treatment completely depends on the severity of the disease. For example, the first stage, preclinical does not need drug treatment. To improve the patient's condition, you should take a thorough review of lifestyle - perform physical exercises and eat properly. The typical features of this stage: the excessive stress of the muscles of the entire back, the rapid appearance of fatigue, a mild pain, but tangible in the moments of the turns and the tendency of the head. The main limitation in this case can distinguish the fact that very few people are associated with the importance of such symptoms, so they do not immediately move to the hospital.
The following symptoms are characteristic of the second osteoarthritis:
The pain when moving the head becomes more intense and periodically for the shoulders, hands, even lower back;
Pain syndrome may occur in a calm state;
There are meaningless headaches;
Attention is to disperse, the level of working capacity is reduced.
All of the above symptoms cannot continue not to be noticed, so most, at this stage of the disease, the patient seeks health help. Enhanced pain is due to a decrease in the gap between the discs and violating nerves. An even more aggravation of the situation occurred in the third phase. In this case, the pain in the neck is constantly disturbing, the muscles of the hand become very weak, over time, paralysis occurs. For general symptoms, dizziness and weakness to become a daily companion of the patient. The cervical spine loses the ability to exercise.
The pain cannot be tolerated in the neck, shoulders, arms, ears in the ears, the combination is completely weakened and the appearance of clear signs of other diseases shows the beginning of the final stage, the fourth of osteoarthritis. At the same time, the interatorebral discs are destroyed and the pathological process moves further along the spine, affecting other faculties. Such a degree of disease is difficult to treat, while according to a doctor's decision, may need surgical intervention. Therefore, with the appearance of symptoms such as: pain in the neck and brittle during the head movement, hands of the hand, dizziness, nausea, headache, hands, as well as fatigue and problems with coordination will become an alarming signal that shows real health problems. Do not delay the visit to the doctor, it is best to contact a therapist or immediately to a neuroscientist.
In the progression of the cervical bone, an act of infringement of the spinal spine may occur. Different movement and sensitivity disorders may appear, depending on which spine, which has been affected:
Partially or completely losing the sensitivity of the occipital area, in any part of the neck, shoulders and arms;
Pain in any area of neck, shoulders, forearms, hands, fingertips;
paralysis of language, that is why words are impaired;
Reduced muscle sound of the head and neck;
Problems with respiratory function, heart and liver pain.
The protruding edges of the vertebrae can squeeze the arteries through which blood enters the brain. Therefore, blood circulation in the brain is disturbed and additional symptoms appear: a strong change in mood, insomnia, nonsense anxiety, fear, discomfort. At the same time, with the spasm of blood vessels, not only headache, but also eye pain can occur. Patients often pay attention to the appearance of Muslim flies in the eyes, sometimes fainting is possible.
Reasons for the development of cervical joint diseaseThe most common cause of the appearance of cervical joint disease is considered a sedentary lifestyle combined with inappropriate and unbalanced nutrition. Normally, not only are lazy people suffer from their nature, but also those who have a mandatory career most time to spend or in the same unpleasant posture: office workers, drivers, etc. v. The appearance of degenerative processes in disks is due to violations of metabolic processes and blood circulation. Other reasons for the development of cervical joint disease include:
The weight is agitated by unhealthy nutrition;
Rheumatism, scoliosis, posture problem, flat feet;
injury of spine and neck;
Regular stress, too stressful voltage;
genetic reason;
The incorrect congenital development of the neck vertebra.
Sports that play too enthusiastically, which means that physical activity is too intense can also become the previous factor in cervical bone disease. The main disease under such conditions is usually a plate. Later, it is characterized by nourishing disorders in the discs, mainly discord in the waist and cervix. Osteochondrosis in this case is a result of a plate. In addition to eliminating heavy physical efforts, with this diagnosis, complex treatment, drugs and physiotherapy are necessary.
Consequences of progressive pathologyAmong complications that may occur with the development of osteoarthritis of the cervix, it is distinguished:
The hernia and protruding in the spine can be formed in the third and fourth stages due to the rapid progression of the hidden disease;
The growth of bone tissue or the formation of bone cells - usually those who cause protruding parts. Osteoporosis has a stimulating effect on nearby muscles, increasing their melody. Therefore, the pressure on the disc increases. In addition, educated bone cells can cause narrowing arteries;
Flattening spinal disk - The reduction of the intervertebral gap leads to a reduction in the height between the discs, the risk of uplifting of the neck vertebra with an increasing head rotation;
Spondylolistz or the shift of the spine disk does not occur as often as other complications above, however, in case of occurrence, even death can cause death. Any, the minimum change to the location of the disc with the largest probability leading to paralysis, a more significant movement - to death.
Osteochondrosis cervical always causes hypertension. In addition, the transformation of the disease from one stage to another contributes to the progression of hypertension from the first to the third level, where the pressure exceeds 180 mm. Direct hypertension treatment helps reduce the severity of symptoms, but only temporarily. In case of not curing bones and joints, it is not possible to eliminate increased blood pressure. In the case of disk lesions between 4 and 5 neck vertics, as a complication, pericarditis occurs. It is characterized by the bump of nerves in the connection of the shoulder joint by hand. At the same time, the severe pain occurs in the shoulders, which has a negative impact on the mobility of the whole limb. In addition, the manifestations of osteoarthritis cannot be based on the signs of heart disease, for example, angina, but thanks to diagnostic measures, it is possible to distinguish diseases with high accuracy.
It is impossible to identify the osteoarthritis of the cervical spine by touching and is the result of visual medical examination. Based on the history of collection, the doctor can only assume that the exact osteoarthritis becomes the cause of a certain symptom. To confirm or reject such a assumption, diagnosis is necessary. The most optimal way today is MRI or magnetic resonance therapy. This method allows you to consider all bone structures, determine the presence of Intervertebral hernia, bone size and other characteristic complications of cervical joint disease. Another way, less information, taken to be calculated. It allows you to set a diagnosis, however, determining the size of the hernia, as its presence may be difficult.
Treatment of cervical joint diseaseTreatment of osteoarthritis of the cervix is always complicated and complex. Its time and saturation time depends on the development stage of the disease, on the personal characteristics of the patient and the presence of other diseases at the same time. Among the main groups of drugs, usually prescribed in the second and next stage, it should be distinguished:
Analgesics or painkillers. The funds are listed to help temporarily relieve pain. With the pain that is so obvious, the local blockade is used.
Non -steroid anti -inflammatory drugs and steroid anti -inflammatory drugs. The agents are not safer, they have an analgesic effect and can become an alternative to common painkillers. In case they do not relieve pain, steroids are used.
Antidepressants and sedatives - Motherwort, Valerian's alcohol. Their purpose is due to two factors: if the cause of osteoarthritis is a stress or if the pain is so serious that it has a negative impact on psychology. The use of such drugs should be done according to strict observation, as each drug has some contraindications and addiction.
The focus helps reduce muscle spasms. Combined with anti -inflammatory drugs, they have analgesic effect.
Vasransdilators contributes to improving blood circulation.
Drugs to increase immunity and normalization of metabolic processes are ideal for vitamin B and C.
The complexity of these drugs is a symptomatic treatment. Compliance with all the doctor's recommendations and the approval of the course as prescribed will help eliminate pain and eliminate all unpleasant manifestations of the disease. However, the therapeutic course does not end there. When the main characteristics are removed, making the quality of life worse, you can take on the restoration of the cervix to minimize the risk of recurrence in the near future. Unfortunately, a big mistake for many people is that after the symptoms disappear, they consider themselves completely healthy and abandoned treatment. In this situation, osteoarthritis will definitely remind itself after a while.
Physiotherapy and Traditional MedicineThe following physical therapy processes are successfully used to treat cervical bone:
Medical physical education - performed monopoly under the supervision of a qualified expert, because with serious lesions of the discs, incorrect exercises can cause more tissue injuries;
Craft therapy - is a manual effect for some areas of the patient's body;
Massage therapy;
Pronunciation and, as a diversity, acupuncture;
Electricity, Balne therapy, laser therapy, UFO, v. v.
Each of the above procedures have some contraindications, which is especially important for people with Anamnesis disease of other diseases that are not related to cervical joint disease. The decision on the suitability of the use of a specific method remains with a doctor attending. It may not be safe to take such measures about your own free will. For traditional medicine, you can use the grass of a Saberfish, Cam. Image. It is also recommended to reduce the amount of salt. A responsible approach to cervical bone treatment will help eliminate the disease. Let this process take a significant amount of time, but only complex therapy will reduce the chances of developing the disease to a minimum.
