The problem of osteochondrosis of the cervix is very relevant these days.It is no secret that in the modern world every second or third person cervical osteochondrosis suffers.And doctors often can't help anyone because they do not have the necessary knowledge and see nothing wrong with osteochondrosis.For example: "What can you do now."
In fact, osteochondrosis is not as simple as it seems.Yes, of course, not fatal.But it poisons the lives of millions of people who do not know how to handle it.But in fact, everything lies on the surface ... so if you have problems with the cervix with osteochondrosis, read this page carefully until the end!
Here you will find out what the cervix is osteochondrosis, exactly how it develops, what is dangerous and, of course, how to cure.
What is the cervical spine osteochondrosis?
Cervical osteochondrosis in the scientific language is a distrofical process that affects the intervertebral discs and the cartilage of the intervertebral joints, and finally with the involvement of the spine themselves in this process.And the task of the treatment process is to stop this process and then completely turn it back!
But before talking about treatment, you have to deal with the causes of this process.After all, nothing arises.There is a certain reason or many reasons for every phenomenon of our lives.
Causes of cervical osteochondrosis
Cervical spine osteochondrosis develops for the same reasons as other classes of genetic, endocrine exchange, infectious, toxic, etc.Osteochondrosis but the only reason that plays a decisive role in the development of cervical osteochondrosis
Currently, cervical osteochondrosis can be determined in every second person.This is due to the fact that we live in urbanized conditions in the age of advanced technologies and social networks.While reading, writing, working, communicating on a computer, the neck is in the wrong position, in the wrong position.
In addition, constant stress on work and other problems also affects the condition of the neck.When a person is depressed, he bends down and lowers his head.Therefore, his neck takes his problems again.He does not rest, and accordingly his neck does not rest.
As a result, the cervical muscles are constantly tension, the pressure increases in the cervical spine, the blood vessels are cramps and the nerve endings are violated.
Don't ignore your neck and pay attention to every sign.After allspinal arterial syndrome, shoulder -package periarthrosis, Royshift syndrome and front stairs syndromeOr
Below we talk a bit about these syndromes.In the meantime, let's look at how the cervical region is different from the rest of the spine and how a prerequisite for the development of these syndromes is a prerequisite for the development of osteochondrosis.
- The cervical spineThe most prominent- He is characterized by all types of movement.These are the prerequisites for frequent violations and subluxes!
- There are holes in the transverse processes of the vertebrae that form a channel through whichThe spine artery passes throughThis provides the brain, cerebelum, hearing organs, and a spine with oxygen and nutrients.These are prerequisites for frequent clamps of the artery and nerve.
- Are located between the vertebrae wares between the vertebraenot the whole- In front of them are the protruding edges of the vertebrae, which the joints connected.These are prerequisites for developing the joints.
- The holes of the lower three vertebrae are not wheels buttriangular shape- These are prerequisites for nerve roots violation with bone growth formed with osteochondrosis.
- They are important in the cervix regionGanglions (nodes) of the autonomic nervous systemOr
Here are the most important features on which we are based on and analyze the symptoms and complications of osteochondrosis.But for the starters, I will tell you how the cervical spine develops osteochondrosis to clearly imagine the whole picture.
The mechanism of the development of osteochondrosis of the cervix
The intervertebral disk is the place to begin with the process.As a result of the above reasons, the pulpona core (central part) of the disk begins to lose moisture.The fibrous ring (sheet frame) is thinner, loses flexibility, and micro fractures appear.As a result, it is lost in support, recording and shocking disk function.
The load on the underlying vertebrae gradually increases and the process leads to the vertebrae itself.They appear in the microotocras and the "bone growth" of additional osteophytes develop to increase the surface to increase the load.
Osteophytes can form on the back surface, thus squeezing the nerve root or side surface, pressing the spinal artery.
The stability between the vertebrae is violated and may result in subluxations in the intervertebral joints.The cervical muscles are tense to compensate and support the vertebrae in the previous situation.
But over time, the muscles are "tired" to support the spine, and again the load increases on the affected vertebrae, which further supports the progression.
So a vicious circle develops in which the main links -damaged vertebrae and cramped muscles- they influence each other and thus support the process of osteochondrosis.
Here are the symptoms of osteochondrosis of the cervix, which cause millions of people.
Symptoms (signs) of osteochondrosis of the cervix
The cervical osteochondroly symptoms are well known to those who experienced this whole "magic" of the process.The most common signs of cervical osteochondrosis are as follows:
- Limited mobility in the neck
- A feeling of pain or discomfort in his neck
- The head of the head
- A kind of "crunching" in the neck when he turns the head
- The tension of the cervical muscles
Suppose these are symptoms of "cervical osteochondrosis" without complications.The remaining symptoms are as a result of the compression (compression) of nerve roots and blood vessels and reflex irritation of the nerve fibers of the spinal cord.Only specific syndromes occur in cervical osteochondrosis.Let's look at them in more detail:
Vail artery syndrome
The spinal artery syndrome is a result of mechanical compression of the artery, which is "osteophyte" with tense muscle or bone growth.Occasionally, it can develop due to the artery cramp and irritation of nerve fibers that go from the spinal cord to the artery.
The spinal artery passes through the cranial cavity and provides the brain, cerebellum, hearing and visual organs with oxygen and nutrients, so compression of brain ischemia occurs and suffers from all parts.Therefore, signs of spinal artery syndrome are usually as follows:
- The paroxysmal headache that begins with the back of the head and spread to the forehead, the temples, the ears.They can fix half of the head.
- The pain increases by turning the head or overtaking the head, sitting with tension of the neck muscles.
- Violation of hearing and vision: ringing and noise in the ear, loss of hearing, dizziness, blinking of the "flies" in front of my eyes.
- Feeling of severity in the head, dizziness, sleep disorders, memory.
Shoulder -váll periarthrosis
Shoulder carrier periarthrosis is the damage to the shoulder joint and blades, especially the periarticular soft tissue of the muscles and tendons.Develops as follows:
- Irritation of vegetative nerve fibers occurs as a result of the destruction of the disc
- This irritation is in the form of pulses in a tight joint
- In periarticular tissues, trophy (nutrition) is disturbed, which affects the functions of the joint itself.
As a result, the following symptoms of your shoulder are developed:
- Pain in the shoulder joint that came to the hand and the neck
- The hands of hands to the side are limited and painful
- The pain increases on the sore side lying down
- Atrophy of the flat blade and shoulder muscles may develop over time
Coordinated syndrome
The rooster syndrome is due to the "osteophyte" compression of the nerve root and bone growth, which is shown in an acute cutting pain that spreads to the forearm into the small finger or ring finger.You may feel numb or "climbing goosebampumps".
It is worth noting that this complication is less common than anyone else.
Front stairs
First of all, I note that the first step muscle is from the vertebrae of 3 and 4 cervicals on the side of the neck and is secured to the first rib.On the side, the medial staircase is also attached to the edge.As a result, a gap is formed between these muscles through which the nervous shoulder plexus and the subclavian artery.
Now let's look at how the front staircase syndrome develops:
- Irritation of vegetative nerve fibers occurs as a result of the destruction of the disc
- Irritation enters the front staircase in the form of impulses
- Muscle is cramping and presses nervous weaves and arteries
Signs of front stairs syndrome are as follows:
- The pain spreads from pain to sharp to the forearm and brush
- The pain increases when the head is leaned to a healthy side when the hand gives up from the side
Symptoms of the clamped artery - hand cooling, numbness, swelling.
What is common between all syndrome?
We examined the mechanism of development, the symptoms of the cervix osteochondrosis and its most common complications.Have you noticed something common between these processes?
If not, I'll tell you:
There is an important element in every process - cramped muscles!
They know:
- Squeeze the spine artery or nervous plexus,
- Damaged the function of the shoulder joint,
- Send inverted signals from the cramp
- In this way, move the load to the damaged cervical region and maintain the progression of osteochondrosis.
Yes, the muscles perform these actions by violated and irritated nerve roots.But they also send a signal to the nervous system about the principle of feedback, which supports or eliminates the pathological process.Yes, it eliminates.
It all depends on the condition of the muscle:
- If you are cramped, you send a pathological impulse (with osteochondrosis) and support the progression
- If you exercise (alternately relaxed and reduced, its voice restores), it sends another physiological impulse that restores the trophy of the nervous system and rebuilds.
Therefore, the answer to the most important question for you:
How to cure the cervix osteochondrosis?
So the only way to cure osteochondrosis of the cervical spine is to restore the sound of the muscles!There is simply no other option.All other methods - drug treatment, injections, medicines and so on - have only a temporary effect.They eliminate the pain effect but do not eliminate the causes.And very soon the pains destroy again.
One of the good methods of treating osteochondrosis is massage.And in the absence of competent masseurs, self -massage.Massage and self -massage relax your muscles, and as we have already realized, this is very useful.
Massage and self -massage can combine the methods of treating osteochondrosis with folk drugs, which, as you know, have been tested for centuries.You can make ointments, rubbing and baths from various plants.
And finally, the most important component of treating osteochondrosis!This is the implementation of special complexes of healing exercises (exercise therapy - therapeutic body culture).In addition, the right motor mode (proper lifting weights, seat on the computer, prevention of hypodynamia, sleeping position, etc.).
