Cervical osteochondrosis is chronic aseptic inflammation that influences the skeletal muscular system, especially the intervertebral discs in the neck and in the star.
This disease leads to the growth of the bone tissue of the vertebrae and to narrow the lumen of the intervertebral disc.The lesion of the neck and thoracic spine with osteochondrosis is often due to impaired 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 neck and thoracic spine.In the case of such symptoms, the patient should immediately contact 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 cervix osteochondrosis
Osteochondrosis has a large number of causes of the occurrence, but often they are somehow associated with the inattention of the patient towards their own health and ignore the forerunners of the disease.The etiological factors that start the mechanism for the development of this disease include:
- Pathological disabilities in the attitude, which occur due to the systematic curvature of the spine (bent back or when walking), while neck and star are involved in the pathological process.
- Obesity.Excess weight exerts a strong pressure on the muscular skeletal muscles, the intervertebral discs and other bone and cartilage elements, which cannot be pressed with pressure over time and can be subjected to dystrophic changes.
- Inactive lifestyle.A sitting person very often suffers from different diseases such as osteochondrosis, so that the lack of self -minimal physical exercises contributes to a deterioration in the general state of the human body.
- Improper nutrition.It has been scientifically proven that the general condition of a person depends on the right nutrition.One person should receive sufficient amounts of useful substances every day, especially when it comes to serious illnesses.
- Violations of the hormonal background caused by the use of various steroid medication.The hormonal imbalance of the body is one of the possible sources for damage to the intervertebral discs for osteochondrosis.
- Spinal violation.A person who has connected a traumatic damage to the spine in connection with the spine automatically runs the risk group of wing muscle diseases.The risk of risk depends on the type of injury.
This is far from a complete list of all types of reasons for the occurrence of cervical and chest osteochondrosis, but it includes the most common etiological factors.Therefore, an immediate consultation of specialists such as neurologist, osteopath and sports therapy doctor is required for every suspicion of the pathology of the spine, in particular the influence of the cervical spine.
Cervical osteochondrosis: symptoms of the disease
Symptoms of osteochondrosis of the neck and thoracic spine are often shown in the form of symptom complexes, such as:B.:
- Vail arteries syndrome.When compressing the vessels of the spine, it occurs, which the drive to the lack of blood supply in the human body.This symptom complex is one of the causes of dizziness, visual impairment, migraines, various intoxicating effects in the ears and longer pain in the eyes.Such symptoms of an osteochondrosis of the neck and thoracic spine often show up during the physical exertion, turn the head, tendency, etc.
- Wirbel syndrome.At the same time, osteochondrosis manifests itself through various pain in the neck and between the shoulder blades.
- Rook syndrome.This syndrome develops in connection with the compression of cerebrospinal roots or the destruction of vertebral slices with Thorakian osteochondrosis.The most common symptoms are cough and systematic sneezing.
- Spinal syndrome.Manifestations of neurological nature are characteristic of such syndrome with cervical osteochondrosis.The patient has acutely exposed diseases of the body's motor functions against the background of muscle hypotrophy.
The symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis manifest themselves in many pathological processes, while pain not only influences the cervical spine, but also other organs and systems.As a result, the patient has frequent shortness of breath, even with low physical exertion, the skin color (a gray color is called), the pulse, systematic dizziness, insignificant but periodic pain in the chest, tired look and pronounced migraines.In addition, there is a sharp release of hormones with damage to the chest and cervical spine that influence the patient's sharp mood.
Manifestations of the thoracic osteochondrosis are often accompanied by a hernish lead of the intervertebral discs in the Sternum.In addition, interdiscus hernia with regular great physical exertion and other different pathologies can occur in the skeletal musicular system, which is why it is appropriate in the presence of a hernia of this localization to carry out dip diagnosis.
The clinical manifestations of dystrophic changes in the spine in combination with a hernia depend on the localization and type of hernia.In the event of a lateral hernia, a systematic pain is determined at a certain location of the formation of a hernia.Also noticed pain in the abdominal cavity.When the middle hernia appears, constant pain is determined that have a serious consideration for drugs.
The cervical spine is full of blood vessels, which is why most signs of a neck osteochondrosis are caused by inadequate blood supply, ie a violation of blood circulation in this area.
The most common symptoms of this disease are:
- Systematic headache.
- Pronounced dizziness, which leads to regular loss of consciousness.
- A sharp (even insignificant) impairment of hearing.
- Reduced vision.
- Change the voice, the appearance of the eye.
It is important to remember that the human body requires constant attention and adequate care.Therefore, you have to systematically visit the doctor and check your body for potential diseases.In addition, cervical osteochondrosis can be expressed completely differently and have different effects on one person.The timely treatment of the disease also increases the likelihood of the patient's full recovery.In order to significantly reduce the risk of developing this disease, it is recommended to carry out a number of different exercises with the stress on the muscle structures and the spine every day.
Treatment of cervical osteochondrosis with osteopathic methods
So far, the treatment of almost any serious disease associated with the skeletal musicular system can be carried out not only with the help of operations and medication, but also more securely.Osteopathic techniques are actively practiced.
As soon as the diagnosis is set, the patient occupies medication to eliminate pain and normalize all internal processes in the human body.In addition to drug treatment, an osteopath selects a number of manipulations that eliminate the cause of the disease and the pathological processes in the neck and thoracic spine.At the same time, the patient is recommended for therapeutic physical culture (training therapy) because he can restore and normalize his health.
Treatment of osteopathy helps the patient to remove pain, normalize health and get rid of osteochondrosis.Osteopaths, through physical effects on the human body, restore the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid, normalize blood circulation in affected areas, carry out a number of complex manipulations that enable them to gradually restore the parts of the cervical pile parts of the spine.Timely treatment with osteopathy helps to prevent the development of the disease.
