Cervical osteocondrosis is a chronic aseptic inflammation that affects the skeletal-muscular system, in particular the intervertebral discs in the neck and sternum.
This disease leads to the growth of the bone tissue of the vertebra and to the narrowing of the lumen of the intervertebral disc.The lesion of the cervical and thoracic column with osteochondrosis is often due to compromised processes in the cartilage of the intervertebral discs.The disease also has a chronic path, a person feels systematic, in some cases insignificant, pain in the cervical and thoracic column.In the presence of these symptoms, the patient should immediately contact a neuropathologist, but the most optimal treatment is complex therapy, including gymnastics and manual effects on the areas concerned.
The reasons for the development of cervical osteochondosis
Osteochondrosis has a large number of causes of occurrence, but often they are somehow associated with patient carelessness of their health, as well as ignoring the precursors of the disease.Among the etiological factors that launch the mechanism for the development of this disease include:
- Pathological disabilities in the posture that occur due to the systematic curvature of the spine (bent back in the sitting position or during the walk), while the neck and sternum are involved in the pathological process.
- Excess weight.Excess weight exerts strong pressure on the skeletal-muscular system, on intervertebral discs, as well as other bone and cartilage elements that cannot face pressure over time and undergo dystrophic changes.
- Inactive lifestyle.A sedentary person very often suffers from various diseases, such as osteochondrosis, therefore the absence of even minimal physical exercises contributes to a deterioration of the general state of the human body.
- Improper nutrition.It is scientifically demonstrated that the general condition of a person depends on the correct diet.A person should receive a sufficient amount of useful substances daily, especially when it comes to serious diseases.
- Violations of the hormonal background caused by the use of various steroid drugs.The hormonal imbalance of the body is one of the possible sources of damage to intervertebral discs for osteochondosis.
- Spinal lesions.A person who has undergone traumatic damage associated with the spine automatically falls into the risk of hole diseases of the winged muscle.The level of risk depends on the nature of the lesion.
This is far from a complete list of all types of reasons for the appearance of cervical and breast osteochondosis, but includes the most common etiological factors.Therefore, with any suspicions of the pathology of the spine, in particular the influence of the cervical column, an immediate consultation of specialists such as neurologist, osteopath and operating therapy doctor is needed.
Cervical osteochondrosis: symptoms of the disease
The symptoms of the osteocondrosis of the cervical and thoracic column are often represented in the form of complex symptoms, such as:
- Vail artery syndrome.It occurs when the vertebral column vessels that the push to the lack of blood supply in the human body is checked.This complex of symptoms is one of the causes of the dizzy root, visual impairment, migraine, various noise effects in the ears and prolonged pain in the eyes.These symptoms of osteochondosis of the cervical and thoracic column often manifest themselves during physical effort, turning the head, inclination, etc.
- Vertebral syndrome.At the same time, osteochondrosis occurs from a different neck pain and between the shoulder blades.
- Rook syndrome.This syndrome develops in connection with cerebrospalous roots or the destruction of vertebral discs with thoracic osteochondrosis.The most common symptoms are systematic cough and sneezing.
- Spinal syndrome.For such syndrome with cervical osteochondrosis, neurological events are characteristic.The patient has acutely exposed disorders of the body's motor functions against the background of muscle hypotrophy.
The symptoms of cervical osteocondrosis occur from many pathological processes, while pain affects not only the cervical column, but also other organs and systems.Consequently, the patient has a frequent lack of breath, even with a small physical effort, the color of the skin changes (a gray shade), the wrist, the systematic dizziness, the insignificant but periodic pain in the chest, the tired appearance and the pronounced migraine.In addition, with damage to the thoracic and cervical spine, there is a strong release of hormones, which influence the strong change of mood of the patient.
The manifestations of the thoracic osteochondrosis are often accompanied by a hernial protrusion of the intervertebral discs in the sternum.In addition, Ernia Interdiscus can occur with great physical effort and other various pathologies in the skeletal-muscular system, therefore, in the presence of an hernia of this location, it is appropriate to lead the painting.
The clinical manifestations of the dystrophic changes in the vertebral column combined with a hernia depend on the location and the type of hernia.In case of lateral hernia, systematic pain is noted in a certain place of the formation of an hernia.Also noticed pain in the abdominal cavity.When the central hernia appears, there is a constant pain, which have a serious contraction in drugs.
The cervical column is full of many blood vessels, which is why most of the signs of the cervical osteocondrosis are caused by an insufficient blood supply, or a violation of blood circulation in this area.
The most common symptoms of this disease include:
- Systematic pain of the head.
- The pronounced dizziness, which lead to a periodic loss of consciousness.
- An acute (even insignificant) hearing impairment.
- Reduced vision.
- By changing the rumor, the appearance of hissing breathing.
It is important to remember that the human body requires constant attention and appropriate care, therefore it is necessary to systematically visit the doctor and control the body for potential diseases.In addition, cervical osteochondosis can be expressed completely different and have different effects on a person.In addition, the timely treatment of the disease will increase the possibility of complete recovery of the patient.In order to significantly reduce the risk of developing this disease, it is recommended to perform a series of various exercises with the load on muscle structures and on the spine daily.
Treatment of cervical osteochondosis with osteopathic methods
To date, the treatment of almost every serious disease associated with the skeletal-muscular system can be carried out 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 drugs to eliminate pain and normalize all internal processes in the human body.Together with the pharmacological treatment, an osteopath is selecting a series of manipulations that eliminate the cause of the disease and pathological processes in the cervical and thoracic column.At the same time, the patient is recommended for therapeutic physical culture (exercise therapy), thanks to which he will be able to restore and normalize his health.
The treatment of osteopathy helps the patient to get rid of pain, normalize the health and get rid of the osteocondrosis.The osteopath through the physical impact on the human body restores the circulation of cerebrospinal liquid, normalizes blood circulation in the areas concerned, performs a series of complex manipulations, which allow to gradually restore the parts of the spine of the spine.Timely treatment with osteopathy helps prevent disease development.
