Cervical osteochondrosis is a chronic aseptic inflammation that affects the skeletal-mezclar system, in particular, intervertebral discs on the neck and sternum.
This disease leads to the growth of the bone tissue of the vertebra and the narrowing of the light of the intervertebral disc.The lesion of the cervical and thoracic column with osteochondrosis is often due to deteriorated processes in the cartilage of the intervertebral discs.The disease also has a chronic course, a person feels systematic, in some cases insignificant, pain in the cervical and thoracic column.In the presence of such symptoms, the patient must immediately communicate with a neuropathologist, but the most optimal treatment is complex therapy, including gymnastics and manual effects on the affected areas.
The reasons for the development of cervical osteochondrosis
Osteochondrosis has a lot of causes of occurrence, but often, somehow they are associated with the lack of patient's care with their own health, as well as ignore the precursors of the disease.Among the etiological factors that launch the mechanism for the development of this disease include:
- Pathological disabilities in the posture that occur due to the systematic curvature of the column (bent in a sitting or walking position), while the neck and sternum are involved in the pathological process.
- Overweight.Excess weight exerts strong pressure on the skeletal-muscular system, intervertebral discs, as well as other bone and cartilage elements that cannot cope with pressure over time and suffer from distributing changes.
- Inactive lifestyle.A sedentary person often suffers from various diseases, such as osteochondrosis, so the absence of even minimal physical exercises contributes to deterioration in the general state of the human body.
- Inadequate nutrition.It has been scientifically demonstrated that a person's general condition depends on adequate nutrition.A person should receive sufficient amounts of useful substances daily, especially when it comes to serious diseases.
- Hormonal background violations caused by the use of several steroid drugs.The hormonal imbalance of the body is one of the possible sources of damage to intervertebral discs for osteochondrosis.
- Column injury.A person who has undergone traumatic damage associated with the spine automatically falls into the winged muscle disease risk group.The risk level depends on the nature of the lesion.
This is far from a complete list of all kinds of reasons for the appearance of cervical osteochondrosis and breast, but includes the most common etiological factors.Therefore, with any suspicion of the pathology of the spine, in particular the affectation of the cervical column, an immediate consultation of specialists such as neurologist, osteopath and exercise therapy doctor is needed.
Cervical osteochondrosis: Symptoms of the disease
The symptoms of the osteochondrosis of the cervical and thoracic column are often represented in the form of symptom complexes, such as:
- Vail artery syndrome.It occurs when compressing the vertebral spine vessels that drives the lack of blood supply in the human body.This symptom complex is one of the fundamental causes of dizziness, visual disability, migraines, various noise effects on ears and prolonged pain in the eyes.Such symptoms of osteochondrosis of the cervical and thoracic column often manifest during physical effort, turning the head, inclination, etc.
- Vertebral syndrome.At the same time, osteochondrosis is manifested by diverse pain in the neck and between the shoulder blades.
- Rook syndrome.This syndrome is developed in relation to compressing cephalorrachid roots or the destruction of vertebral discs with thoracic osteochondrosis.The most common symptoms are systematic cough and sneezing.
- Spinal syndrome.For such syndrome with cervical osteochondrosis, manifestations of neurological nature are characteristics.The patient has motor functions disorders at the bottom of muscle hypotrophy.
The symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis are manifested by many pathological processes, while pain affects not only the cervical column, but also other organs and systems.As a result, the patient has a frequent lack of breath, even with a small physical effort, the color of the skin changes (a gray tone is observed), the pulse is observed, the systematic dizziness, the insignificant but periodic pain in the chest, the tired appearance and the pronounced migraines.In addition, with damage to the thoracic and cervical column, there is a strong release of hormones, which affect the abrupt change of the patient's mood.
The manifestations of thoracic osteochondrosis are often going to the herniaus protrusion of intervertebral discs in the sternum.In addition, interdiscus hernia can occur with a large regular physical effort and other diverse pathologies in the skeletal-mechanical system, therefore, in the presence of a hernia of this location, it is appropriate to make a diagnosis of dipdiagnosis.
The clinical manifestations of the distribution changes in the column combined with a hernia depend on the location and type of hernia.In the case of a lateral hernia, a systematic pain is observed in a certain place of the formation of a hernia.He also noticed pain in the abdominal cavity.When the average hernia appears, constant pain is observed, which have severe counter -action with drugs.
The cervical column is full of many blood vessels, so most signs of cervical osteochondrosis are caused by insufficient blood supply, that is, a violation of blood circulation in this area.
The most common symptoms of this disease include:
- Systematic head pain.
- Pronounced dizziness, which leads to periodic loss of consciousness.
- A deterioration of acute hearing (even insignificant).
- Reduced vision.
- Changing the voice, the appearance of wheezing.
It is important to remember that the human body requires constant attention and adequate care, so you should systematically visit the doctor and verify your body in search of possible diseases.In addition, cervical osteochondrosis can be expressed in a completely different way and have different effects on a person.In addition, the timely treatment of the disease will increase the possibilities of complete recovery of the patient.To significantly reduce the risk of developing this disease, it is recommended to carry out a series of various exercises daily with the load of muscle structures and spine.
Cervical osteochondrosis treatment with osteopathic methods
To date, the treatment of almost any serious illness associated with the skeletal-mechanical system can be carried out not only with the help of surgery and medications, but also in a safer way.Osteopathic techniques are actively practiced.
As soon as the diagnosis is established, the patient begins to take medications to eliminate pain and normalize all internal processes in the human body.Together with pharmacological treatment, an osteopath is selecting a set of manipulations that eliminate the cause of the disease and pathological processes in the cervical and thoracic column.At the same time, the patient is recommended for a therapeutic physical culture (exercise therapy), thanks to which they can restore and normalize their health.
The treatment of osteopathy helps the patient to get rid of pain, normalize health and get rid of osteochondrosis.The osteopath through the physical impact on the human body restores the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid, normalizes blood circulation in the affected areas, performs a series of complex manipulations, which allows it to gradually restore the cervical batteries of the column.Timely treatment with osteopathy helps prevent disease development.
