Osteocondrose disease, which is one of the most popular in the world. The majority of the people, after a 35-year-old osteocondrose of the cervical spine in some way or another. Recently, there has been a trend towards an increase in the number suffering from a severe form of the disease, and the aging of the disease, and to reduce the age limit. This is due to the fact that a growing number of people all over the world are involved in a sedentary job, and it leads to a sedentary lifestyle. While this is a disease that is very dangerous, and everyone should know that it is a osteocondrose, how it manifests itself and how it is processed, to be able to recognize its symptoms, and in time for the start of the treatment.
The cause of the degenerative disc disease cervical spine
Osteocondrose is one of the few diseases that are typical only for one person. In other animals the disease does not occur. The reason for this is that the type of which is the outstanding characteristic of humans, such as bipedalism. The arrangement of the vertical column of the spine that causes the vertebrae to push each other, and the bone or cartilage tissue in the spine gradually breaks down and becomes deformed. The vertebral column of a person to begin with, the cervical spine. In this department, the seven vertebrae of the first to the seventh. The vertebrae are separated from each other, the intervertebral disc. The cervix is particularly vulnerable, on the other hand, it is related, mainly, to the increase in the mobility of the vertebrae in this area. In the cervical area, the department's disease is reflected, first of all, in terms of units, which is a weak point in the structure of the vertebral column. The prevalence of degenerative cervical disc disease are also contributing factors, such as the small size of the vertebrae, and the relative weakness of the muscles of the neck. It's also about the development of degenerative cervical disc disease that is highly influenced by the inadequacy of the blood supply to the tissue of the articular cartilage. Therefore, the development of the disease can be a long and complicated process and it does not have a single cause. Even though communication is established between the work of one man is inactivity, and the presence of his degenerative disc disease of the cervix, the disease is uncommon, and has been training individuals, especially athletes, due to the increased load on the cervical spine when lifting weights. In the elderly, in general, to the degradation of the vertebrate structures, is the inevitable process that is associated with the aging process of the body, and providing force protection. However, it is the most common pathological type of degenerative disc disease of the cervix, where the main role is played by external and internal factors that are negative.
The factors that have contributed to the development of degenerative disc disease of the neck:
- A violation of posture
- The curvature of the vertebral column
- The lesion on her back
- Lose weight
- The hard physical labor
- Sedentary work
- A sedentary lifestyle
- In violation of exchange processes
- Faq forum
- The inconvenient posture during sleep
- Stress, too much work
- Genetic factors
- Infectious diseases
- The individual characteristics of the structure of the body, for example, is too long or too short neck
The degree to which the development of degenerative cervical disc disease
The disease has four stages. It's not always easy to determine the stage of the disease, analysis of symptoms, as well as, at times, a degree of degradation of the bone and the tissue of the cartilage, it may not coincide with the symptoms observed in the patient.
The first level
They begin the destructive processes in the bone, and the tissue of the cartilage of the vertebrae. Usually, at this stage in the degenerative cervical disc disease and the symptoms are very mild. The patient, or don't notice, or that are not associated with disease of the vertebral column, and ascribe to the stress-to the point of exhaustion.
The second level
It begins to reduce the height of the unit, on the surface, they appear to crack. The symptoms of degenerative disc disease of the cervix, at this stage, if you work in a constant pain, weakness, and numbness in the individual sections on the person.
The third degree
They are led to a herniated disc, the damaged cervical vessels, and muscle. The patient appears dizziness, pain in the head.
The fourth grade
Appear to bone spurs proliferation of the bony tissue that protects the bone from the load, which leads to breaking of the nerves. This is resulting in a stiffness of movement, and injury to neighboring joints.
The neck osteocondrose symptoms
The main symptoms of degenerative disc disease of cervical spine:
- The pain in my neck and shoulders
- The weakness of the muscles
- The increase in sweating
- Numbness in the hands
- The loss of co-ordination
- Vertigo
- Blurred Vision, and hearing
- An increase in blood pressure
- The pain in his head
These are typical for degenerative disc disease of cervical spine symptoms may be present at all stages of the disease. In the majority of cases, there are only a few of the symptoms from the list, and the rest can be the missing Man, and for the first time faced with such signs of a disease is not always suspected, in to the neck osteocondrose. Therefore, it can be used by the therapists, cardiologists, neurologists, and surgeons. The correct diagnosis is, the results can be taken with a considerable delay.
Conditions
When the cervix osteocondrose appears in several of the syndromes, that is, the typical state of a complex of features. They manifest themselves depending on what nerves and arteries are affected as a result of the ailment.
- the syndrome of the anterior spinal artery
- heart syndrome
- high blood pressure syndrome
- a radicular syndrome from the
- the syndrome of the neck in migraine
The syndrome of the anterior spinal artery, one of the most unpleasant and dangerous complications when a cervical osteocondrose. It is due to the fact that it decreases blood flow in an artery, passing along the spinal column, and for the supply of the brain. The syndrome is manifested in symptoms such as a system, or a regular shortness of breath, weakness, of hearing and of sight. In some cases, you may experience blackouts. Many a times it can occur is a variation of the syndrome's ending is that, in the normal state of the blood flow in an artery in the normal, however, when you turn your head one way or the other, it may fall down drastically. The heart of the syndrome, which develops when the compression of the nerves, and strengthen the innervation of the diaphragm, or the muscle of the chest. As a result, the opposite can occur, with pain, it looks like one of the cardialgia, and, although the direct effect on the heart, it is not that you go going on there. However, the syndrome can be characterised by phenomena such as increased heart rate, low blood pressure, and irregular heartbeat. The high blood pressure syndrome, also referred to a number of dangerous complications. To the contrary, in the syndrome of the anterior spinal artery, it is called a compression of arteries and veins, which prevents the leakage of blood to the head. The syndrome, resulting in an increase in intracranial pressure, which can manifest itself in symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, pain in the neck. The syndrome of the neck, the migraine has very little to do with the etiology of the disease, classic migraine headache. It manifests itself in more and more pain in the occipital bone of the head. The pain, leading to the paroxysmal in nature, lasting for up to ten hours a day, and it is accompanied by vomiting. The root of the syndrome, the most common of the syndrome, and when osteocondrose neck. This is called the compression of individual nerves in the cervical vertebrae. It can result in pain and swelling in the region of the neck, at the nape of the neck, and the shovels, and the shoulders, numbness and weakness of the tone, sections of the individual's hands at the impossibility of doing any sort of manipulation), and in the neck. Many a times it can occur in many conditions, or even the individual symptoms that are characteristic for the different conditions. As can be seen, when the osteocondrose of the cervical spine from the onset of the disease are multiple, and not always the sick person is able to properly recognize it on the basis of their occurrence in the reports. If you do find yourself with symptoms that are similar to, but that would be an excuse for medical care.
The diagnosis
To install the diagnostics it is recommended to consult with your doctor. It will give you the direction to the expert – podiatrist, the spinal cord, the neurologist. For the diagnosis to apply, the following types of searches:
- X-ray
- Ct
- Magnetic tomography
- Ultrasound scanning of the vessels of the neck
The x-ray is used for determining the displacement of the vertebrae, and the presence of outgrowths – osteophytes-and-the-salt-of-deposit, postage-stamp albums. A ct scan is a series of x-rays, which gives the volume of the representation of the authority shall, in the case of the cervical region of the bureau of the spinal column. It allows you to drill down to the level of a disease process, a description of the contractions of the nerve, the structure of the bone spurs, the height of the disks, and the t. d. of the mri, the ct scan, which is based on a physical effect of nuclear magnetic resonance, it provides more of a structural framework of the vertebral column. Ultra-sonography of the vessels of the neck in order to help you to identify the changes in blood flow in the trunk vessels in the neck that are caused by the disease.
In the treatment of degenerative cervical disc disease in the home
Such as explaining and talking points for the osteocondrose the cervix, in the home, and healing him at all? To cope with the disease, the medicine has developed a lot of techniques. Some of the ways they can be used in the home. But this process is a long one, and full of a cure is unlikely, especially in the elderly. However, to reduce the speed and stop the destructive processes in the spinal column, it is possible at any stage of the disease. In the early stages of the disease, the methods are generally conservative. For the treatment of degenerative cervical disc disease are used in a variety of ways.
- Drugs
- Therapeutic exercise
- Physical therapy
- Massage
- Special tool for the fastening to the spinal column
If the disease has passed into the last stage, and there is a severe destruction of bone and cartilage, structure of the spinal column, and then for the treatment of degenerative cervical disc disease in the spine may be applied, and the operating noise.
Drugs
Applies to the following types of products:
- HondreprotCEtora
- Vitamins
- Pain killers
- The Anti-inflammatory properties
- Antispasmodics
The pain is an acute syndrome associated with OStEkondrosa, the main focus is on the solution. As it is usually applied to the oral medications, such as Analgin or Baralgin, however, that at the time of its ineffectiveness in severe cases is it used for novocaine blockade. When the muscle spasms that are applied to antispasmodics. The increased efficiency of the osteocondrose shows created by this disease, of the drug, even though it is possible and on the other a muscle relaxant. As an anti-inflammatory and analgesic medication, can you use ointment containing medicinal products, non-steroids. If you have conditions related to the violation of the circulation and the blood supply to the brain, Hypertensinam, and the syndrome of the anterior spinal artery, and accept the drugs, the removal of the undesirable effects of these conditions to be used as a tool to lower the pressure, and the nootropic of the tools.
Therapeutic exercise
Therapeutic exercise – the easiest and most cost effective in the treatment of degenerative disc disease of the cervix, and, at the same time, it's quite effective. The treatment exercise you can perform at home. When osteocondrose the intensity of the exercise does not play a decisive role, it is only necessary to the regular service. In the first place, the physical form has been designed to strengthen the muscles of the neck, to fill the lack of functionality of the spinal column, and helping you to stay loose on the bone. In order to strengthen the muscles of the neck are the recommended classes for the day. They can be just as simple, compound bends, and inclines his head in a different direction, a more complex one, including the assistance of a choker muscles on the side of the hand. You can carry out at home, and at work. For example, if your job is sedentary, it is useful to do this exercise after hours of sitting on or a display. However, to carry out the it can be only in the period of aggravation of the disease, and, in the absence of a starting point of the pain syndrome. If not, they are able to only make the situation worse. Not the least effective, and the strengthening of the muscles of the shoulder and the time, for example, to regulate the practice of the lighter weights. However, the increase in weight (weight rod is recommended. It is also useful for the regular classes in swimming, the unloading of the spinal column.
Physical therapy
Physical therapy – treatment approach that uses an impact on on the body, some scientists in the field, and electromagnetic radiation. The good thing is the property of physical therapy is that it has the minimum number of the indications and contra-indications. For the treatment of degenerative disc disease is a subject to the following techniques of physiotherapy:
- The impact of the ultra-sound
- LasertA saudi arabia
- The effect of the magnetic field
- The effects of an electric current (gel electrophoresis)
The magnetic field has a positive effect on damaged tissue in the body, and it has an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. The ultrasound improves the metabolism in tissues and relieves the swelling. The same can be said about the lasertERPII. The gel electrophoresis is the most commonly used in conjunction with medications, since the application of an electrical current speeds up their assimilation by the body.
Massage
The massage greatly reduces the increased tone of a muscle, causing a spasm and slows the flow of lymph fluid, causing swelling. The procedure helps to improve the blood circulation in the affected area, which interrupts the process of destruction of the intervertebral disc.
Other methods of treatment
What do you do when a cervical spine osteocondrose, the classical methods of at-home treatment does not help? To reduce the load on the neck, the department will apply a special device – the "Trench", which logs to the neck in a constant position. It is recommended to wear during an exacerbation, when the pain syndrome or the deadlines, and sedentary work. For the avoidance of exacerbations, it should also provide you with a place to sleep. A pillow should not cause any bending of the neck, and the bed should be hard and smooth. In some cases, it may help the device to sleep orthopaedic mattress, and a pillow.
