Cervical osteochondrosis is a chronic aseptic inflammation that affects the skeletal muscle system, in particular the intervertebral discs in the neck and sternum.
This disease leads to the growth of bone tissue of the vertebrae and the narrowing of the lumen of the intervertebral disc.The cervical and chest lesion with osteochondrosis is often due to impaired cartilage processes on the intervertebral discs.The disease also has a chronic course, a person feels systematic, in some cases insignificant pain in the cervix and chest.In the presence of such symptoms, the patient should contact a neuropathologist immediately, but the most optimal treatment is complex therapy, including gymnastics and manual effects on the affected areas.
The causes of the development of cervical osteochondrosis
Osteochondrosis has a large number of causes of occurrence, but often they are in some way related to the patient's inattention to their own health, as well as ignoring the precursors of the disease.Among the etiological factors that start the mechanism for the development of this disease include:
- Pathological damage to the posture that occurs due to the systematic curvature of the spine (bent back in the sitting position or when walking) while the neck and sternum are involved in the pathological process.
- Excess weight.Excess weight puts intense pressure on the skeletal-muscle system, intervertebral discs, and other bone and cartilage elements that cannot cope with the pressure over time and undergo dystrophic changes.
- An inactive lifestyle.A sedentary person often suffers from various diseases, such as osteochondrosis, so the absence of even minimal exercise contributes to a deterioration in the general condition of the human body.
- Improper meal.It is scientifically proven that the general condition of a person depends on proper nutrition.One must receive enough nutrients daily, especially when it comes to serious illnesses.
- Hormonal disorders caused by the use of various steroid drugs.The hormonal imbalance of the body is one of the possible sources of damage to the intervertebral discs for osteochondrosis.
- Damage to the spine.A person who has suffered traumatic damage related to the spine automatically falls to the risk group of winged muscle diseases.The level of risk depends on the nature of the injury.
This is by no means a complete list of all types of causes of cervical and osteochondrosis of the breast, but includes the most common etiological factors.Therefore, with any suspicion of spinal pathology, more special affecting the cervical spine, immediate consultation of such specialists as a neurologist, osteopath and physician for exercise is required.
Cervical osteochondrosis: Symptoms of the disease
The symptoms of osteochondrosis of the cervical and thoracic spine are often represented in the form of symptomatic complexes, such as:
- Vail Arttery Syndrome.It occurs when compressing the vessels of the spine, which movement to the lack of blood supply to the human body.This symptomatic complex is one of the main causes of dizziness, visual impairment, migraines, various noise effects in the ears and prolonged pain in the eyes.Such symptoms of osteochondrosis of the cervix and thoracic spine often manifest themselves during exercise, turning the head, inclination, etc.
- Vertebrae syndrome.At the same time, osteochondrosis is manifested by a variety of neck pain and between shoulder blades.
- Rook syndrome.This syndrome develops in connection with compression cerebrospinal roots or the destruction of vertebrae discs with thoracic osteochondrosis.The most common symptoms are coughing and systematic sneezing.
- Spinal syndrome.Such cervical osteochondrosis syndrome is characteristic of neurological manifestations.The patient has acutely exposed disorders of the body function of the body against the background of muscle hypotrophy.
Symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis are manifested by many pathological processes, while pain affects not only the cervical spine but also other organs and systems.As a result, the patient has honor shortness of breath, even with low physical exertion, the skin color changes (a gray hue is marked), the pulse, the systematic dizziness, the insignificant, but periodic chest pain, the tired appearance and the pronounced migraines are noticeable.In addition, with damage to the thoracic and cervical spine, there is a sharp release of hormones that affect the acute change in the patient's mood.
The manifestations of thoracic osteochondrosis are often accompanied by the herniated convexity of the intervertebral discs in the sternum.In addition, interdiscus hernia can occur with regular exercise and other different pathologies in the skeletal modular system, therefore, in the presence of hernia at this localization, it is appropriate to have a diidignation.
The clinical manifestations of dystrophic changes in the spine, combined with hernia, depend on the location and type of hernia.In the case of lateral hernia, systematic pain is noted at a certain location of hernia formation.They also noticed abdominal pain.When the average hernia occurs, there is a constant pain that has a strong counteraction to drugs.
The spine is full of many blood vessels, which is why most signs of cervical osteochondrosis are caused by insufficient blood supply, that is, a disorder of blood circulation in this area.
The most common symptoms of this disease include:
- Systematic headache.
- Dizziness is pronounced, leading to periodic loss of consciousness.
- Rare (even a minor) hearing impairment.
- Reduced vision.
- Changing the voice, the appearance of wheezing.
It is important to remember that the human body requires constant attention and proper care, so you should systematically visit your doctor and check your body for potential diseases.In addition, cervical osteochondrosis can be expressed completely differently and may have different effects on a person.Also, timely treatment of the disease will increase the likelihood of complete recovery of the patient.In order to significantly reduce the risk of developing this disease, it is recommended that a number of different exercises be performed daily with the load on the muscle structures and spine.
Treatment of cervical osteochondrosis with osteopathic methods
To date, the treatment of almost any serious illness associated with the skeletal-muscle system can be performed not only with the help of surgery and medicines, but also in a safer way.Osteopathic techniques are actively practiced.
As soon as the diagnosis is established, the patient begins to take medicines to eliminate pain and normalize all internal processes in the human body.In addition to medicines, osteopath chooses a set of manipulations that eliminate the cause of the disease and pathological processes in the cervical and thoracic spine.At the same time, the patient is recommended for therapeutic physical culture (exercise therapy), which will be able to restore and normalize his health.
Treatment of osteopathy helps the patient get rid of pain, normalize health and get rid of osteochondrosis.Osteopath, through physical effects on the human body, restores the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid, normalizes blood circulation in the affected areas, performs a number of complex manipulations that allow you to gradually restore parts of the cervical pylot of the spine.Timely treatment with osteopathy helps prevent the disease from developing.
