Osteochondrosis in modern society is considered to be an almost version of physiological norms, as the literally complete spread of pathology among people of very young age.It is customary to hear in response to a complaint about cervical pain that it is "fair" osteochondrosis and don't worry.That's not true!It is worth starting in the very early stages of the degenerative distrust process, as a very sad clinical picture is expected in the future, depriving the opportunity for normal life and work.
There is a certain risk of all degrees of osteocondrosis of the cervix, but since the process of destroying the intervertebral disc is deepened, increased risk of the hernia and loss of control of certain functions of the body.The article reads to the extent to which the cervical region is osteocondrosis and how treatment can be done by manual therapeutic methods.Put the acquired knowledge into practice and keep your health up to old age.
The first degree of the cervical spine osteochondrosis
This is not the beginning of the disease, as is usual to think.At the beginning, there is a prerequisite for violation of the diffuse diet for the intervertebral disc.This is the initial stage.If you do not even notice, degree osteochondrosis is formed in the cervical spine. The following reasons and prerequisites provoke:
- Long static tension of cervical muscles;
- sedentary lifestyle;
- lack of regular physical efforts in the neck and collar muscles;
- Incorrect organization of the harbor needed for night rest (using too high or soft pillows);
- wears a dress that puts pressure on the cervical soft tissues;
- violation of posture, habit of bending;
- injuries around the neck;
- Inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract;
- Violation of metabolic processes in the body.
The osteocondrosis of the spine of the cervix at a degree is not shown for a long time by characteristic symptoms.Periodic headache, dizziness, shoulders, etc.May occur.It is not detected when examining the protrusion and destruction of the vertebrae.
The second degree of the cervical spine osteochondrosis
The more advanced osteochondrosis of the cervical region is no longer doubtful in the fact.This is expressed by frequent pain in the neck.The pain occurs after the long static tension of the cervical muscles.Secondary disorders arise in the background of cerebrovascular failure.Patients often have headaches and dizziness in orthostatic nature, nausea and a reduction in mental performance.
The osteochondrosis of the spine of degrees 2 is already a structural change in intervertebral discs.In an X -try, you can see the mesh of a small crack on the surface of the fibrous ring.They are gradually filled with calcium salts.This further exacerbates the process of disturbance of diffuse nutrition.Calcinated (bone) vertebral disk is not able to absorb fluid from the surrounding muscle fibers.It quickly loses its elasticity and the disease gets to the next stage.
Osteochondrosis of the cervical spine 3
In the case of osteochondrosis of 3 degrees, degenerative changes in dyspropic nature occur in the cervical spine. These are the following abnormal disorders:
- The intervertebral plate completely loses the ability to absorb fluid from space when the muscle fibers decrease;
- The process of fluid absorption begins from the internal structure of the Pulpona seed, which results in a rapid reduction in volume and loses its ability to exercise swinging during physical effort;
- Dehydration of the outer (fibrous) ring of the intervertebral disk leads to a violation of elasticity;
- large cracks occur;
- They can penetrate the reduced pulpoose core in size - thus the hernia arises;
- The stage of protrusion is preceded by the stage of protrusion, during which the intervertebral disk quickly loses its height and grows so much in the area that it goes beyond the vertebrae.
Degree cervical spine osteochondrosis leads to very unpleasant consequences.The patient develops mental performance disturbance, paresis of the upper limbs, and somatic pathologies such as heart rhythm and arterial hypertension can occur.Effective and safe treatment should be started immediately.
Symptoms of osteochondrosis of cervical region 1, 2 and 3
It is quite difficult to recognize the symptoms of osteochondrosis of the cervical region 1, as they can be disguised by VSD, migraine attacks, myositic and other pathologies that are not paid to.Nevertheless, it is worth understanding that degree 1 is the condition in which the minimum conditions are sufficient to treat.Unfortunately, the duration of this section is very short.Degeneration of the intervertebral disk quickly reaches the second stage, in which typical pathological changes can be seen in a simple radiographic image.Partial destruction of the disk, the lowering of its height (fragmented or diffuse) is noticeable.
The symptoms can be expressed as follows:
- pain in the cervical and collar area after any static load;
- The pain extends to the shoulders and breaks, sew, pull and cut;
- numbness of the upper limbs and their fingers;
- dizziness and headache;
- feeling of numbness in the cervical;
- sharp changes in blood pressure;
- Skin pain in the scalp.
If there are symptoms of osteochondrosis of osteochondrosis at 2 degrees, it is impossible to postpone treatment.Usually under these circumstances, patients accept the therapist.There they receive a temporary disability sheet for 10 to 12 days.Symptomatic anti -inflammatory treatment is prescribed.This does not lead to the recovery of damaged cartilage.However, the patient gets rid of all the symptoms and is released after 10 days.Meanwhile, the destruction of the spine continues and osteochondrosis is placed in the next stage.
The symptoms of osteochondrosis of the cervical spine are severe neurological.This is due to the fact that with a similar development of the disease, radical nerves are damaged. Spinal syndrome determines the symptoms of osteochondrosis of the cervical region 3, which consist of the appearance of the following signs:
- depressed mood and severe headache localized at the back of the head;
- dizziness and ataxia;
- Cervical pain is constant and radiates into the shoulders, arms, under the plate;
- Any movement causes increased pain;
- The muscles in the cervical and collar zones are overweight;
- Mobility is sharply limited (there is no way to turn your head freely or decide forward and backward);
- sharp numbness in the upper limb on the side of the lesion;
- pain, tingling and cramps in the fingers;
- Hypershecy, or on the contrary, a decrease in sensitivity in the scalp, face, tongue and lips;
- Disorder of fluid and food swallowing process;
- Violation of speech function.
In addition, arrhythmias, increased blood pressure and thyroid disorders may occur.In the case of damage to the vagus nerve, derived from the radical nerve fiber, which extends between the vertebrae of 5-6 cervixes, pancreatitis occurs, violation of bile outflow and violation of other pathologies of the digestive system.
The most severe symptoms of the third stage of the cervical spine occur by developing spinal artery syndrome.In this case, a temporary disorder of the cerebral blood supply may occur.The patient loses consciousness, loses control of body functions, paralyzed, etc.
In order to prevent the risk of developing such complications, it is important to start treating the disease in time.
Treatment of osteochondrosis of cervical region 1, 2 and 3
It is sufficient to treat the reason for osteocondrosis of the first degree of the cervical spine.To do this, reset the cartilage diffuse nutrition.This can only be done with manual therapy.Osteopathy and therapeutic massage are used, which improves the condition of muscle fiber, kininopia and gymnastics, and strengthens the muscle frame of the neck.In addition, it is important to follow all the recommendations of the handheld.Manual therapy for individual patients develops individual recommendations.These with changes in the system and diet, the schedule of special physical practices, work and harbor, etc., Etc.
It takes much more time to treat osteochondrosis of the cervical spine.It is important to restore the physiological structure of the cartilage intervertebral disc.Reflexology and adhesion, traction, massage and therapeutic exercises are used.If you need to stop the pain syndrome, the pharmacopuncture can be shown.
Correct treatment of osteochondrosis of the cervical region guarantees the lack of decline in the disease for several years.If the patient fulfills all the recommendations of the attending physician, it will not be developed for degenerative destruction of the intervertebral disk.
The most difficult thing is to treat osteocondrosis of the spine of degrees 3, as there is an outstanding prominence.It is not sufficient to restore the diffuse diet for cartilage tissue to treat the third degree of the cervical spine.It is important to return to the normal height and elasticity of the intervertebral disc.The course of therapy involves a comprehensive effect.It is also important to follow the doctor's recommendations in everyday life.
