The problem of cervical osteochondrication is very important today.It is no secret that in the modern world every second or third person suffers from cervical osteochondria.And doctors often cannot help anyone, since they do not have the necessary knowledge and see nothing wrong with osteochondria.Like, "What can you do, they are now at all."
In fact, osteochondria is not as simple as it seems.Yes, of course, they are not fatal.But it states the lives of millions of people who do not know how to deal with it.But everything is really on the surface ... So if you have problems with cervical osteochondria, read this page carefully at the end!
Here you will find out what the cervical osteochondrosis is, how exactly it grows, what is dangerous and, of course, how it can be cured.
What is cervical spine osteochondria?
The cervical osteochondria, in a scientific language, is a dystrophic process that affects the intervertebral discs and the cartilage of the intervertebral joints, which eventually include the vertebral bodies themselves in this process.And the task of his treatment process is to stop this process, and then turn it around!
But before you talk immediately about treatment, you need to deal with the causes of this process.After all, nothing happens exactly so.For every phenomenon in our lives there is a certain reason or various reasons.
Causes of cervical osteochondicity
The cervical spine osteochondria develops under the influence of the same reasons as the osteochondria of other sections-genetic, endocrine exchanges, infectious, toxic, etc. But the only reason that plays a decisive role in the development of cervical osteochondal.
Currently, it can be determined to every second person in every second person.This is because we live in urbanized conditions, in the age of developed technologies and social networks.While reading, writing, working, contacting a computer, the neck is in the wrong position, a wrong position.
In addition, stable work -related stress and other problems also affect the throat condition.When a person is in depressive state, he turns, reduces his head.Therefore, your throat takes your problems again.You do not relax, and your throat, as well, does not relax.
Because of this, the muscles of your throat are in constant voltage, the pressure increases in the cervical spine, the vessels are spasmodic and the nerve endings are violated.
Do not ignore your throat and pay attention to each of its mark.After all, cervical osteochondria is the most dangerous, because only with this can so frequent complications (syndromes) asSpine Syndrome, Periarthrish with shoulder, Royshift Syndrome and anterior staircase syndrome.
We will talk about these syndromes just below.In the meantime, let's look at how the cervical area differs from the rest of the spine and that in the process of developing osteochondicism it serves as a prerequisite for the development of these syndromes.
- The cervical spineThe most mobile.It is characterized by all types of movements.These are the prerequisites for frequent violations and subluxuses!
- There are holes in the transverse processes of vertebrae forming a channel through whichThe spine is passingThis supplies the brain, cerebellum, hearing organs, as well as the vertebral nerve with oxygen and nutrients.These are the conditions for frequent artery and nerve clamps.
- The intervertebral discs are located between vertebral bodiesnot throughout.In front of them, there are protruding edges of the vertebrae, which are interconnected with joints.These are the conditions for the appearance of underground joints.
- The intervertebral holes of the lower three vertebrae are not round buttriangular shape.These are conditions for violating nerve roots with developing bones formed by osteochondria.
- In the cervical areaGamals (nodes) of the autonomic nervous system.
Following are the key features from which we will use, analyzing the symptoms and complications of osteochondry.But for beginners, I will tell you how the cervical spine is developed so that you can clearly imagine the whole image.
The mechanism of developing cervical osteochondicity
The intervertebral disc is a place to start the process.Under the influence of the above reasons, the core of the pulp (central part) of the disc begins to lose humidity.The fibrous ring (disk frame) is thinner, loses elasticity, microcarbons appear.As a result, the support, determining and shock -derivative drive is lost.
The load on the underlying vertebrae is gradually increasing and then the process goes to the vertebra itself.The microlemists appear in it and forms additional "growing bone" of the bones to increase its surface to receive increased load.
Osteophystics can form either on the back surface, thereby pressing nerve roots or on the side surface, compressing the spine.
The stability between the vertebrae is violated, so hypoglycaemic actions can occur in the intervertebral.The throat muscles are stretched to offset and support the vertebrae in the previous position.
But over time, the muscles are tired to support the spine, and again the load is increased in the affected vertebra, which further supports evolution.
Thus a vicious circle is formed in which the main links -Vegetation of vertebrae and spasmodic muscles- They influence each other and, therefore, support the process of osteochondry.
This is where the very symptoms of cervical osteochondrication that cause so many problems in millions of people.
Symptoms (signs) of cervical osteochondicity
Symptoms of cervical osteochondrol are known to those who have experienced the whole "charm" of the development of this process.The most common signs you have cervical osteochondria are as follows:
- Limited mobility in the throat
- Pain or feeling of discomfort in the throat
- Forced position of head
- A kind of "crunching" in the neck when you turn your head
- The tension of the throat muscles
These, let's say, the symptoms of "cervical osteochondicism in its pure form", without complications.The rest of the symptoms already develop as a result of compression of nerve roots and blood vessels and reflective irritation of spinal cord nerve fibers.Special syndromes that are inherent in cervical osteochondria.Let's look at them in more details:
Artery syndrome
Spine syndrome develops as a result of mechanical compression of the artery with tense muscle or bone increases by "osteophytes".It can sometimes be developed due to artery spasm by irritating nerve fibers that go from spinal cord to the artery.
The spine passes into the cranial cavity and supplies the brain, cerebellum, hearing and vision with oxygen and nutrients, therefore, with compression, ischemia of the brain and all parts of it suffer.Therefore, the signs of the spinal artery syndrome are usually as follows:
- The paroxysmal headaches that begin with the back of the head and spread to the forehead, temples, ears.They can capture half of the head.
- The pain is exacerbated by turning or inclination of the head, sitting with the intensity of the throat muscles.
- Hearing and vision violations: the blow and the noise in the ears, the hearing loss, the dizziness, the flickering "flies" in front of my eyes.
- Sense of seriousness in the head, dizziness, sleep disorder, memory.
Shoulder -
Shoulder -performed is a damage to the marginal soft tissues of the shoulder and blades, especially the muscles and tendons.Is developed as follows:
- Irritation of herbal nerve fibers appears as a result of disk destruction
- This irritation in the form of impulses goes to narrow joint - shoulder
- In marginal tissues, the trophy is disturbed, which affects the functions of the joint itself.
As a result, the following shoulder symptoms develop:
- Pain in the shoulder joint delivered to the hand and throat
- The abduction of hands on the side is limited and painful
- Pain intensifies on a painful side
- Over time, the shoulder blade and shoulder muscle atrophy may develop atrophy
Rook syndrome
Rooser syndrome develops due to nerve root compression with developing bone of "osteophylls", which is manifested by an acute cutting pain, which spreads to the forearm on the small finger or finger of the ring.It may be accompanied by a feeling of numbness or "crawling goosebumps".
It is worth noting that this complication is less common than anyone else.
Anterior staircase
Initially, I note that the front staircase muscle goes from 3 and 4 cervical vertebrae through the side surface of the neck and is attached to the first side.On the side, the middle staircase is also connected to the edge.As a result, a gap is formed between these muscles, through which the nervous shoulder grid and the subclavian artery.
Now let's see how the anterior staircase syndrome develops:
- Irritation of herbal nerve fibers appears as a result of disk destruction
- Irritation in the form of pulses enters the anterior muscle.
- Muscle is spasmodic and pushing nerve woven and artery
The signs of anterior staircase syndrome are as follows:
- Pain from sharp pain, spreads to the forearm and brush
- Pain intensifies when the head leans on the healthy side, when the hand giving up on the side
Symptoms on the side of tightening artery - hand cooling, numbness, swelling.
What is common among all the syndromes?
We have examined the development mechanism, the symptoms of cervical osteochondrality and all its most common complications.Have you noticed something in common among all these processes?
If not, I'll tell you:
In all procedures, an important element is involved - spasmodic muscles!
Can:
- Press the spine or nervous grid,
- weakened shoulder joint function,
- Send in reverse signals about your spasmodic
- Thus, transfer the load to the damaged area of the cervix and maintain the evolution of osteochondry.
Yes, the muscles perform these actions under the influence of violated and irritated nerves.But they also send a signal to the nervous system on the principle of feedback, which either supports the pathological process or eliminates it.Yes, it eliminates.
All of this depends on the state of the muscle:
- If it is spasmodic, it sends a pathological impulse (with osteochondria) and supports evolution
- If he trains (alternately relaxes and reduces, restoring his tone), then he sends another - a normal boost that restores the nervous system's food and rebuilding it.
Hence the answer to the most important question for you:
How to cure cervical osteochondria?
So the only way to cure cervical spine osteochondria is to restore your muscle tone!There are no other options.All other methods - treatment with medicines, injections, medicines and so on - only have a temporary effect.They eliminate the effect of pain, but do not eliminate the causes.And very soon the pains will pass you again.
One of the good methods of treatment of osteochondry is massage.And, in the absence of competent masseur, self -mast.Massage and self -financing relax your muscles and, as we have already discovered, is very useful.
Along with massage and self -mast, you can connect the methods of treatment for osteochondria with folk remedies, which, as you know, have been tested for centuries.You can make ointments, rubbing and baths from various plants.
And finally, the most important ingredient in the treatment of osteochondry!This is the application of special complexes of therapeutic exercises (exercise therapy - therapeutic natural culture).In addition, the proper engine operation (appropriate lifting weights, sitting on the computer, prevention of subordination, position during sleep, etc.).
