Incorrect posture, prolonged work on the computer, not enough or very soft bed, the custom of keeping the shoulder of the phone when the hands are busy - any of these factors can cause cervical vertebra osteochondria.
Usually this disease affects people over 40, but has recently spread to young people.
Signs of osteochondicity
- The wholesale of the cervical vertebra is usually accompanied by pain in the neck pain as well as the side parts of the neck (if this is not a neglected stage of the disease).In this respect, patients have problems with head movement: turn, slope and any other movements cause increased pain.In this case, it already exceeds the cervix area and spreads along the hand, creating the effect of shock.
- In addition to pain, the cervical osteochondria manifests itself in the vision of vision, weakening the hearing device and the weakened work of small (refusal of flavor receptors) and large (numbness of the tongue and face) of parts of the body.
Symptoms of the initial stage of the disease
The body begins the process of separation of the water molecules from the core of the pulp, that is, the dehydration reaction progresses.As a result, cervical vertebrae are planted and after them the elasticity of the joint and muscle tissue are lost, converted into a "hanging position".This is the result of a decrease in the level of the vertebral disc in the throat: the muscles come closer to the joints of the neighboring disc, which violates the integrity of the design of the cervical vertebra.Such defects involve dysfunction of the cervical vertebral engine: they lose stabilization, shift and become mobile.
Throat discomfort
The most obvious sign of the disease is cunning or sharp periodic pain in the throat.From the occipital part, they are transmitted to the lock, on the shoulder and sometimes on the chest, which can cause a patient with suspicion of angina.The pain is intensified when it leans and turns its head, as well as a deep breath, more often at night.
Violation of sensitivity
As a result of violating the plant-vascular system, the level of skin sensitivity in certain areas of shoulders, shoulders, hands decreases.This symptom is accompanied by stinging, weakness, coldness.
It's a dull pain
The third in the list of signs of the initial stadium of osteochondicism is a pain in ongoing pain, which only occasionally relaxes.It usually intensifies at night and when the body leans below 45 °.The place captured by this pain: the neck itself, the shoulder and the forearm.
Acute period of the disease
In the last, neglected stage, heart changes are observed in the intervertebral discs: their protrusions and projections are formed.The vertebral incentive section begins to operate unstoppable, unstable: its functions cease to be executed.Unko-Vertebral and intervertebral joints are subjected to defects such as article and infertility.
All of these changes cause the body's protective reaction: in order to smooth out the increased vertebral mobility and to restore the supporting and protective functions of the spine, the defenders begin to "paste" the vertebral kinetic section, limiting further movements.
Sharp, penetrating throat pain
Acute throat pain, most often in the occipital part, as a result of muscle overpass, hypothermia, large physical activity or unpleasant position during sleep.That is, all the causes of the disease itself are directly related to defects in the cervical area.It can go on its own every other day, and it can remain longer if the osteochondria is developed at an accelerated rate.
Headache
The headaches spread from the occipital part of the throat to the crown, forcing the patient to feel out and squeeze.The pain is accompanied by many other symptoms: parable, optic and acoustic disorders, constant discomfort in different parts of the body - all these signs, including painful pulses of the head, are associated with the spine.When thrown behind, a sharp turn to the side or slope, these signs begin to put pressure on the patient with a new, more force.
Dizziness
Dizziness may be stable, but weak and can continue for several hours and be so strong that the balance is completely lost and a person falls, while the likelihood of an additional injury not associated with the cervical vertebra is high.
If the head is damaged in autumn, then the disease will reach the extreme degree of danger and the chances of recovery will quickly become zero.To avoid a fatal effect, it is necessary to periodically plague the damaged area at the initial stage of cervical vertebrae, in improving blood circulation and get rid of stupid and/or acute pain.
Ears
The chronic "background" noise, the hit and sometimes the pulse pain in the ears causes a failure of the nervous system: the brain ceases to sufficiently perceive the environment and circumstances.
The wholesale patient becomes an irritable, aggressive, non -functional person, loses the ability to think reasonably and get rid of persistent thoughts.That is, rest becomes almost impossible, and this leads a person to depression.
Only after some time, consciousness is lost, thus providing the patient at least some rest.But this does not affect the work of the body.
Again, in order to avoid such deviations from the rule, the collar area, neck and head should massage.Exercises must be complex to cover all the zones for rehabilitation.The purpose of the massage is to repeat the proper functioning of the cervical vertebra, reinforcement and stretching the cervical and shoulder muscles.
Treatment of osteochondry
The first stage of the disease
At the initial stage, cervical vertebra osteochondria is not dangerous.Does not require medication or intensive treatment.Only prevention is required, ie:
- Active and healthy lifestyle.Useful products containing the necessary muscle and bone mass elements and a moderate number of calories.
- regular breakfast exercises and better - active or at least feasible sports.
- Rejection of alcohol, tobacco and excess caffeine.
- avoiding rising heavy objects (often more mass of the patient with osteochondria).
- Stable attitude monitoring (should be immediate in stance and sitting position).
- The right comfortable bed that repeats body turns.
- Special throat exercises.
The progressive stage of the disease
When osteochondria begins to flow into severe forms, the therapeutic process is the deterioration of special collars, exercise treatment, physiotherapy and massage.
If the disease has already managed to develop into a complex form, it is time to resort to medicines.Effective means: anticonvulsant, analgesics and NSAIDs.Physiotherapeutic processes that use paraffin, drug electrophoresis and other medicines can also have a positive effect.
Chronic character
The last stage of cervical vertebrae osteochonda is chronic.In this case, chondroproteters and vitamins B6, B12 are used.As auxiliary drugs -external drugs: ointments, gels, creams with the content of non -hybrid anti -inflammatory ingredients and drugs for tissue regeneration.
Clinics with the treatment of cervical vertebral osteochondicism offer various therapeutic procedures:
- vacuum treatment.
- acupuncture;
- laser treatment?
- Manual treatment (metatic relaxation).
- Dry adhesion.
- Pharmacy?
- electrical stimulation;
- Magnetic.
These methods are effective at any stage of disease development, including the latter.The procedures themselves are conducted on an external basis, based on integrated programs aimed at providing both symptoms of the disease and its causes.
The course of full treatment comprises from 10 to 15 sessions and the elimination of only one particular syndrome providing discomfort takes 1-3 sessions.
Like most diseases, osteochondria requires a preventive approach.Already at the beginning of the disease, a person should "score stress" and participate in treatment.After all, there are no guarantees from the progression of the disease, so you must remember that victory over any illness is a healthy lifestyle and treatment even before the symptoms of pain.
