Cervical spine osteochondrosis is a pathology characterized by the development of deep processes in the joint cartilage tissues.These phenomena are due to the physiological weakening of the nutrition of intervertebral discs, which leads to the fact that the cartilage tissue is poorly regenerated (restored) even after a minor microtrauma of the spine.
Most patients, especially the inactive lifestyle leader, are constantly filled with the neck of the neck as they are forced to stay in the same pose for a long time.All of these factors contribute to the development of the disease.
Attention.Cervical osteochondrosis is one of the most dangerous diseases of health and even human life.The reason for this is the fact that a huge number of vital vessels are concentrated on the neck.
A little anatomy
All vertebrae of lumbar, chest and cervical parts contain transverse processes.
In the chest region, the ribs are connected to transverse processes.The bodies of the vertebrae of the lumbar segment are the largest, as this class has a significant mass.The lower deep muscles of the back are attached to the transverse processes of the lumbar spine.Elastic cartilage (discs) between the vertebrae.
The characteristics of the structure
The cervical spine is characterized by some anatomical characteristics.Professionals focus on the attention of the audience on the transverse processes of the vertebrae of the 1-6 cervix, through which the blood vessels that nourish the basic section of the brain (brain) pass through.
The brain base class can be considered as a "computer center" in which data is collected and analyzed from the entire body.The presented organ controls all the automatic processes of the body (motion, breathing, temperature, coordination, heartbeat, sweating, etc.).
Advice from the doctor.If you have diagnosed the cervical osteochondrosis and the participating doctor tells you that this is stupid, and this pathology can be cured with ointments and some creams, it is better to run the best from such a doctor.
Osteochondrosis of pathogenesis
With the cervical osteochondrosis, the vertebrae of the vertebrae observes relative to each other, leading to compression of the arteries.Compression of these blood vessels can provoke the ischemic stroke of the brain.Such phenomena are fully recorded.
If a person has a small cervical osteochondrosis but no one is treated or treated incorrectly, with minimal mechanical effects, observes the displacement of the vertebrae, blood circulation disorder, patients often complain of dizziness and nausea.After a while, the patient loses consciousness.This is often found in those who are injured in an accident.
The clinical signs of the disease
The following symptoms can be observed with the development of cervical osteochondrosis:
- increased sweating;
- Weakening of the neck muscle frame;
- Manual numbness;
- increased fatigue;
- loss of awareness;
- hypertension;
- nausea and dizziness;
- Posture problems;
- insomnia;
- limited movements;
- unreasonable bad mood;
- chest pain;
- feeling of running goose bombs in the body;
- When the head is rotating, we hear crunching;
- pains of bones and chills;
- sharp pains in the shoulders and neck;
- violation of coordination;
- Problems of vision and hearing.
Advice!When identifying the above features, contact an experienced specialist - therapist, neuropathologist, refinement, traumatologist, cardiologist or surgeon.After a thorough diagnosis, your doctor will be able to diagnose and select the optimum tactics of treatment.
Complication
In the spinal tissues, degenerative-dynist processes violate the functional activity of this organ.Simply put: there is a "wear" of the spine:
- Limited mobility of the spinal column;
- decrease in height of intervertebral discs;
- development of hypothalamic syndrome;
- arrest of breathing due to damage to the spinal cord;
- violation of blood flow in the spinal cord;
- Violation of swallowing reflex;
- dysfunction of internal organs;
- nerve compression;
- disk loss;
- Breathing violation;
- spine deformation;
- vestibular disorders;
- neurociirkulation dystonia;
- shoulder -váll periarthrosis;
- thyroid dysfunction;
- epicondalite;
- intervertebral channel stenosis;
- The formation of protrusions and intervertebral hernia.
Note!All of these complications require immediate help and refer to dangerous conditions that can cause not only the quality of the patient's life but also the death of the patient.
The doctor also notes that osteochondrosis can sometimes be observed.In this case, it affects the brain and in fact every regulation of the body's work is confused.In the holes of the transverse processes of the vertebrae, not only blood vessels but also nerves pass through.When the vertebrae were pushed out, they still pinched.For this reason, the muscle weakness of the hands is observed, their total or partially paralysis.
Very often, patients turn to traumatologists because they have shoulders, photographs, physiotherapy (massage, electrotherapy, etc.) and the pain syndrome does not get out.
When you contact a special clinic, the institution's experts first perform a comprehensive examination and only require appropriate treatment based on the results.With a slight clamping of blood vessels, blood flow is disturbed in the brain, provoking arterial hypertension.In 95% of cases, hypertension develops due to compression of blood vessels with osteochondrosis.
Doctors developed special exercises aimed at decompression of blood vessels and nerves, and restoring the functions of the neck of the neck.
If the patient is diagnosed with cervical osteochondrosis, it is recommended to perform at least three tests:
- Radiography.It allows information on the condition of the cervical spine segment.The pictures should be taken in 2 projections and plane.This method allows you to determine the mobility of the injured vertebrae, the displacement of their bodies, the presence of salt deposits and the appearance of tumors.
- Doplerography or dopplerometry.It allows you to evaluate the freedom of blood vessels with the schedule of blood flow.During the procedure, the patient is installed by special sensors based on the alleged localization of the patron.
- The cervical spine is MRI.This is perhaps the most informative, painless and accurate diagnostic method.Using this method, not only shows the presence of the disease, but also the degree of its severity.
Conclusion
Osteocondrosis is a very misleading and dangerous disease.It is extremely difficult to diagnose this pathology in early stages of pathogenesis because it is almost asymptomatic.With the progress of the disease, there are many signs that are disturbing because blood flow problems can cause disorders in the heart area.Therefore, doctors recommend that you immediately contact the professionals with the slightest manifestations of the pain in the cervix.This allows you to get rid of problems in the early stages and prevent various complications.
