Cervical osteochondrosis is a chronic aseptic inflammation that affects the skeleton-muscular system, especially the cervical and sternum vertebrae.
This disease leads to an increase in the vertebrae bone tissue and to reduce the lumen of the intervertebral disk.The lesion of cervical and thoracic spine with osteochondrosis is often due to damage to the intervertebral discs.The disease also has a chronic course, one person feels systematically, in some cases insignificant pain in the cervix and chest spine.In the presence 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.
Causes of the Cervical Osteochondrosis
There are many reasons for osteochondrosis, but they are often in some way associated with the patient to warn with his or her own health and ignore the precursors of the disease.It is one of the etiological factors of the mechanism of the development of the disease:
- The abnormal disability of posture, which occurs due to the systematic curvature of the spine (in a sitting position or when walking), while the neck and sternum are involved in the pathological process.
- Overweight.Excessive weight exerts strong pressure on the frame-muscular system, intervertebral discs, and other bone and cartilage elements that are unable to cope with pressure over time and undergo distrophic changes.
- Inactive lifestyle.A sitting person often suffers from various diseases such as osteochondrosis, so the lack of minimal physical exercises contributes to the deterioration of the general condition of the human body.
- Inadequate nutrition.It has been scientifically proven that a person's general condition depends on proper nutrition.One should receive sufficient amounts of useful substances daily, especially for serious illnesses.
- Violation of hormonal background caused by the use of various steroid drugs.The hormonal imbalance of the body is one of the potential sources of damage to the intervertebral discs of osteochondrosis.
- Spine injury.A person who has undergone traumatic damage to the spine automatically falls into the risk group of winged disorders.The risk level depends on the nature of the injury.
This is far from the full list of the causes of the cervix and the breast osteochondrosis, but includes the most common etiological factors.Therefore, any suspicion of spinal pathology, especially the influence of the cervical spine, is an immediate consultation of professionals such as a neurologist, osteopath and exercise therapeutic physician.
Cervix osteochondrosis: symptoms of the disease
Symptoms of osteochondrosis of the cervix and chest spine are often depicted in the form of symptom complexes, for example:
- Vail artery syndrome.It occurs when the spinal vessels are compressed by the lack of blood supply to the human body.This symptom complex is one of the causes of dizziness, visual impairment, migraine, various noise effects of ears and longer pains.Such symptoms of osteochondrosis of the cervix and chest spine are often reflected in physical efforts, rotation of the head, tendency, etc.
- Vertebrate syndrome.At the same time, osteochondrosis is shown in the various pain between the cervical and blades.
- ROK syndrome.This syndrome is due to compression of cerebrospinal roots or destruction of vertebrate disks with chest osteochondrosis.The most common symptoms are cough and systematic sneezing.
- Spine syndrome.Such syndrome with osteochondrosis of the cervix is typical of neurological manifestations.The patient has acute exposed disorders of the body's motor functions in the background of muscle hypotrophy.
The symptoms of osteochondrosis of the cervix are shown in many pathological processes, while the pain affects not only the cervix's spine but also other organs and systems.As a result, the patient often has shortness of breath, even with little physical effort, the skin color changes (a gray shade), pulse, systematic dizziness, insignificant, but periodic pain, tired appearance and pronounced migraine.Moreover, when the chest and cervical spine is damaged, there is a sharp release of hormones that affect the patient's sharp change.
The manifestations of chest osteochondrosis are often accompanied by a hernia protrusion of the disceries in the sternum.In addition, interdiscus hernia can occur with regular high physical efforts and other various pathologies in the frame-muslim system, and therefore, in the presence of this localization hernia, it is appropriate to perform a dipdiagnosis.
The clinical manifestation of the dyspropic changes in the spine, combined in the hernia, depends on the localization and type of hernia.In the case of lateral hernia, systematic pain is observed at a certain location of the hernia.He also noticed pain in the abdominal cavity.When the middle hernia appears, constant pain is observed, which cause severe countermeasures to the drugs.
The cervical spine is full of blood vessels, so most of the signs of osteochondrosis of the cervix are caused by insufficient blood supply, ie blood circulation violations in this area.
The most common symptoms of the disease are as follows:
- Systematic headache.
- Pronounced dizziness leading to periodic loss of awareness.
- Sharp (even insignificant) damage to hearing.
- Reduction.
- Changing the sound, the appearance of wheezing.
It is important to note that the human body requires constant attention and adequate care, so it systematically visits the doctor and should check your body in potential diseases.In fact, the cervical osteocondrosis can be expressed completely differently and can have a different effect on humans.In addition, timely treatment of the disease increases the chances of the patient's complete healing.In order to significantly reduce the risk of developing the disease, it is recommended that you perform a variety of exercises daily with the load of muscle structures and spine.
Treatment of cervical osteochondrosis with osteopathic methods
The treatment of almost any serious disease associated with the frame-muscular system can be done not only for surgery and drugs, but also in a safer way.Osteopathic techniques are actively practiced.
As soon as the diagnosis agrees, the patient begins to take drugs to eliminate pain and normalize all internal processes of the human body.In addition to drug treatment, osteopath selects a series of manipulation that eliminates the cause of the cervical and chest spine disease and pathological processes.At the same time, the patient is recommended for therapeutic physical culture (exercise therapy), which will allow it to restore and normalize health.
Treatment of osteopathy helps the patient get rid of pain, normalize health and get rid of osteochondrosis.Osteopath restores the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid through the physical effects of the human body, normalizes blood circulation in the affected areas, and performs a number of complex manipulations that allow for gradual restoration of spinal cord parts.Timely treatment of osteopathy promotes the prevention of the disease.
