The problem of cervical osteochondrosis is very relevant today.It is no secret that in the modern world every second or third person suffers from cervix osteochondrosis.And doctors cannot help anyone because they do not have the necessary knowledge and see nothing with osteochondrosis.How "What can you do, he's now."
In fact, osteochondrosis is not as easy as it seems.Yes, of course he is not fatal.But he poisons the life of millions of people who do not know how to treat it.But everything is actually due to the surface ... So if you have problems with cervical osteochondrosis, read this page carefully to the end!
Here you can find out what cervical osteochondrosis is, how exactly it develops, which is dangerous and of course how it can be healed.
What is osteochondrosis of the cervical spine?
In a scientific language, cervical osteochondrosis is a dystrophic process that affects the intervertebral discs and the cartilage of the band fountains and finally incorporates the vertebral body in this process.And the task of the process of his treatment is to stop this process and then to avert it completely!
Before you talk directly about the treatment, however, you must deal with the causes of this process.After all, it just arises.There is a certain reason or a number of reasons for every phenomenon in our lives.
Causes of cervical osteochondrosis
Osteochondrosis of the cervical spine develops under the influence of the same reasons as osteochondrosis of other genetic departments, endocrine exchange, infectious, poisonous, etc. The only reason, however, plays a decisive role in the development of cervical osteochonse, is a constant medical picture that is on the computer.
Curvical osteochondrosis can currently be determined in every second person.This is due to the fact that we live under urban conditions at the age of developed technologies and social networks.As you read, write, work, communicate via a computer, the neck is in an incorrect position, an incorrect position.
In addition, constant stress in connection with work and other problems also affect the disease of the neck.When a person is in a depressed state, he bends down, lowers his head down.Therefore, your neck takes on your problems again.They do not relax and their throat does not relax either.
For this reason, your neck muscles are in constant voltage, the pressure in the cervical spine, the vessels are convulsive and the nerve ends are injured.
Do not ignore your neck and pay attention to every signal.After all, cervical osteochondrosis is most dangerous, since only as frequent complications (syndromes) such asSyndrome of the vertebral satey territory, periarthrosis with shoulder -packed.
We will talk about these syndrome below.In the meantime, let us see how the cervix region differs from the rest of the spine and that in the development of osteochondrosis, a prerequisite for the development of these syndromes serves.
- The cervical spineThe Mobilest.It is completely characterized by all types of movements.These are the prerequisites for frequent violations and subluxes!
- There are holes in the transverse processes of the vertebrae that form a channelThe artery of the vertebral artery fitsThis delivers the brain, cerebellum, hearing organs and the sparing nerv with oxygen and nutrients.These are the prerequisites for frequent clamps of the artery and nerve.
- Intermediate swirls are located between the vertebral bodiesUnexpected.In front of them there are protruding edges of the vertebrae, which are connected by joints.These are the prerequisites for the development of the subluxation of the joints.
- The bond holes of the lower three vertebrae are not round, buttriangular shape.These are prerequisites for a violation of nerve roots with bone growth, which are formed with osteochondrosis.
- There are important in the cervix regionGanglia (knot) of the autonomous nervous system.
Here are the most important characteristics from which we build and analyze the symptoms and complications of osteochondrosis.But for the beginning I will tell you how osteochondrosis develops of the cervical spine so that you can clearly imagine the whole picture.
The development mechanism of cervical osteochondrosis
The intervertebral disc is a place for the beginning of the process.Under the influence of the above reasons, the pulpoose core (central part) begins to lose moisture.The fibrous ring (disc frame) is thinner, loses elasticity, microrises occur.As a result, the function of the support, fixation and shock absorbing disc is lost.
The load of the underlying vertebrae gradually increases and then the process goes to the vertebrae itself. In IT, microreters appear and additional "bone growth" of osteophytes are formed to increase the surface in order to maintain an increased load.
Osteophytes can either form on the rear surface, causing the nerve roots or on the side surface and pressing the vertebral artery.
The stability between the vertebrae is violated, which is why subluxations can occur in the band fire connections.The neck muscles are tense to compensate and support the vertebrae in the previous position.
Over time, the muscles become tired to support the spine, and the load again increases the vertebrae affected, which further supports progress.
So a vicious circle is formed in which the main connections -Damaged vertebrae and convulsive muscles- They influence each other and thus support the process of osteochondrosis.
Here are the symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis that cause millions of people.
Symptoms (signs) of the cervical osteochondrosis
The symptoms of the cervix osteochondroly are known to those who have experienced the entire "charm" of the development of this process.The most common signs that they have cervical osteochondrosis are the following:
- Limited mobility in the neck
- Pain or discomfort in the neck
- Forced position of the head
- A kind of "crunch" in the neck when turning the head
- The tension of the neck muscles
This, we say, symptoms of "cervical osteochondrosis in its pure form" without complications.The remaining symptoms already develop due to the compression (compression) of nerve roots and blood vessels and reflex resires of the nerve fibers of the spinal cord.Specific syndromes that are only inherent in the cervical osteochondrosis.Let's look at them in more detail:
Vail arteries syndrome
As a result of the mechanical compression of the artery, the syndrome of the vertebral artery develops with tense muscle or bone growth by "osteophytes".Sometimes due to the artery cramp, it can develop with nerve fibers that go from the spinal cord to the artery.
The vertebral artery reaches into the skull cavity and supplies the brain, the cerebellum, the organs of hearing and eyesight with oxygen and nutrients.Therefore, brain bemonies occur and all of its parts suffer.Therefore, the signs of the syndrome of the vertebral artery are usually the following:
- The paroxysmal headache that start with the back of the head and spread to the forehead, temple, ears.You can capture half of the head.
- The pain exacerbates with curves or tilting the head and sits with the tension of the neck muscles.
- Violations of hearing and eyesight: ringing and noise in the ears, hearing loss, dizziness, flickering "fly" in front of my eyes.
- Heavy the severity in the head, dizziness, sleep disorder, memory.
Shoulder -Shoulder -periarthrosis
The shoulder -containing periathrosis is damage to the periartic soft tissue of the shoulder joint and the blades, especially the muscles and tendons.It develops as follows:
- Vegetative nerve fibers irritation occurs as a result of the destruction of the disc
- This irritation in the form of impulses goes to a narrow joint - shoulder - shoulder
- The trophy (nutrition) is disturbed in the periartic tissues, which influences the functions of the joint itself.
As a result, the following symptoms of the shoulder -pave -periarthrosis develop:
- Pain in the shoulder joint, which the hand and neck have arisen
- The kidnapping of the hands to the side is limited and painful
- The pain intensifies on a painful side
- Over time, the atrophy of the muscles of the shoulder blade and shoulder can develop
Rook syndrome
The rooser syndrome develops due to the compression of the nerve root with bone growth by "osteophytes", which manifests itself through an acute cutting pain that spreads to the forearm to the little finger or on the ring finger.It can be accompanied by a feeling of deafness or "crawling goosebumps".
It is worth noting that this complication is less common than any other.
Front stairs syndrome
First of all, I find that the front stair muscle of 3 and 4 cervical vertebrae runs over the side surface of the neck and is attached to the first rib.Next to the side, the media 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 subclavia artery pass.
Now let us see how the front stair syndrome develops:
- Vegetative nerve fibers irritation occurs as a result of the destruction of the disc
- Midulation in the form of impulses occurs in the front stair muscle
- The muscle is convulsively and presses the nervous tissue and the artery together
Signs of the front stair syndrome are as follows:
- The pain from pain to sharp, spread out on the forearm and brush
- The pain intensifies when the head is inclined to the healthy side when the hand steps back to the side
Symptoms on the part of the clamped artery - cooling of the hand, numbness, swelling.
What is common between all syndromes?
We examined the development mechanism, the symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis and all its most common complications.Have you noticed something together between all of these processes?
If not, I'll tell you:
An important element is involved in all processes - convulsive muscles!
You can:
- Press the vertebral artery or the nervous plexus,
- affects the function of the shoulder joint,
- Send the reverse signals via your spasmodic
- So transfer the load to the damaged cervix region and get the progression of osteochondrosis.
Yes, the muscles carry out these actions under the influence of injured and irritated nerve roots.However, you also send a signal to the nervous system based on the principle of feedback, which either supports the pathological process or eliminates it.Yes, it is eliminated.
All of this depends on the condition of the muscle:
- If it is spasmodic, it sends a pathological impulse (with osteochondrosis) and supports progress
- When it trains (alternately relaxed and reduced, restores its sound), it sends another - a physiological impulse that restores and rebuilt the trophism of the nervous system.
Hence the answer to the most important question for you:
How can you heal cervical osteochondrosis?
The only way to heal osteochondrosis of the cervical spine is to restore the sound of your muscles!There are simply no other options.All other methods - drug treatment, injections, medication, etc. - only have a temporary effect.They eliminate the pain effect, but do not eliminate the causes.And very soon the pain will bother you again.
One of the good methods for the treatment of osteochondrosis is the massage.And in the absence of competent masseurs.Massage and self -massage relax your muscles, and as we have already found out, it is very useful.
In parallel to the massage and self -massage, you can combine the treatment methods for osteochondrosis with folk remedies that, as you know, have been tested for centuries.You can carry out ointments, rubbing and baths from different plants.
And finally the most important component in the treatment of osteochondrosis!This is the implementation of special complexes of healing exercises (training therapy - therapeutic physical culture).In addition, the correct motor mode (correct lifting weight, sitting on the computer, prevention of hypodynamy, position during sleep, etc.).
