The essence of pathologyOsteochondrosis of the cervical column is a pathology in which the soft intervertebral pulp is transformed into bone tissue. This causes the pinch of blood vessels and nerve fibers.The characteristics of the disease include pain syndrome. It is located in the neck, shoulders, upper back, head. Many patients face stunning, pressure fluctuations, nausea, air deficiency.Changes distributed in the zone of the cervical region are generally at the middle and younger age. This is due to the vertical position of the skeleton and the characteristics of the distribution of loads.Doctors note that the disease occurs earlier in men. This occurs at 45 to 50 years. Women face the demonstrations of cervical osteochondosis later at 50-55 years.ReasonsVarious factors lead to the development of this form of the disease. The main causes of cervical osteochondrosis include the following elements:Insufficient physical activity. People who lead an inactive lifestyle have exhaustion of the back muscles supporting the spine. The deposit of salts which appear due to lactic acid can worsen this state of things. The weakened spine is easily distorted and becomes less mobile.Obesity. The appearance of an excess weight is a great danger for the musculoskeletal system. In addition to the increase in loads on the spine, the adipose tissues take the beneficial substances which are necessary to maintain muscle tone and cartilage. Long stay in a motionless position. This disease is often found in drivers and people involved in intellectual work. After an prolonged stay in a muffled state, the cartilaginous tissues gradually lose elasticity. Over time, the intervertebral discs acquire a unnatural configuration.Nutrition disorders. For the body to work properly, proteins, fats, minerals and vitamins must be present in the food in sufficient quantities. Irrational nutrition causes a violation of the structure of the tissues and leads to their rapid destruction.Back damage. This can lead to the redistribution of pressure to cartilage, which causes a change in their structure and their shape.Pathology of the musculoskeletal system. This category includes scoliosis, rheumatism, bone tuberculosis.Often, cervical osteochondosis is the result of a hereditary trend. In this case, pathology develops without the influence of important factors.To avoid the appearance of the disease, you should start therapy in a timely manner.
Steps of the diseaseThere are several stages of pathology, each of which is characterized by certain characteristics:The first - the key characteristic of the state is the instability of the spine. It manifests itself in the initial lesions of intervertebral discs;The second - the main demonstration is the protrusion. This condition is characterized by a decrease in cracks between the vertebrae, a progressive violation of the integrity of the fibrous ring. Often there is pain caused by the rib compression;The third - at this stage, the fibrous ring is completely destroyed. This implies the presence of an intervertebral hernia. This condition is characterized by serious damage to the spine; The fourth is the most difficult. At this stage, with any movement, acute pain occurs. Sometimes the condition improves, but this indicates the appearance of bone structures connecting the vertebrae. This implies a decrease in motor activity and causes disability.SymptomsThis form of osteochondrosis is characterized by special manifestations. This is due to the location close to the cervical vertebrae and the low height of the discs. Therefore, even small changes cause serious manifestations. In addition, this form of osteochondrosis is often accompanied by a compression of the cerebrospinal roots.Symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis include the following elements:Pain. They are located in various areas - the back of the head, neck, shoulder belt, hands. Differently in the hands or shoulder belt is due to a pinch of the nerves. Pain syndrome in the occipital area is associated with spasms of the muscle tissue of the neck and circulatory disorders.Weakness in the hands. This sign is due to damage to the motor nerves responsible for the innervation of the muscles of the hands.Weakening the sensitivity in the hands. This characteristic is due to damage to the roots, which include the sensitive fibers responsible for the innervation of the skin of the hands.By reducing the motor activity of the neck, the appearance of crunch. Such symptoms of osteochondrosis in the cervical column become the result of a decrease in the height of the discs. They are also defeated by the intervertebral joints and the formation of bone growth on the vertebrae.Weakness, loss of coordination of movements and dizziness. These manifestations are due to damage to the vertebral artery. The formation of fibrous fabrics and vertebral displacement causes blood flow problems in the arteries. As a result, there is a deterioration of blood flow in the occipital area of the brain and the cerebellum. Damage of hearing, numbness of the language, weakening of visual acuity. These symptoms of osteochondrosis of the cervical column are due to the worsening of the situation and the progression of cerebral traffic disorders.Diagnostic methodsTo identify osteochondosis of the neck, you must carry out a number of diagnostic procedures.The most informative studies include the following elements:Magnetic resonance imaging is the most informative study that allows you to assess the state of vertebrae and discs between them. In addition, with the help of this procedure, it is possible to detect hernies, to assess their size and their location.X -Ray - This procedure is one of the most affordable research methods. However, it often becomes non -informative, especially in the last stages of the disease.Tomodensitometry - allows you to identify the presence of changes in the structure of the vertebrae. However, the presence of hernias or compression of the spinal cord to diagnose this way is quite difficult.Duplex ultrasound - helps detect blood flow disorders in the vertebral artery. The procedure allows you to detect obstacles and a slowdown in blood flow in the vessels.Treatment methodsThe treatment of cervical osteochondosis is selected taking into account various factors. This is done according to the stage of the disease, the shape of the disease, the severity of the symptoms.The main methods of therapy include the following elements: Conservative therapy - can be a drug and non -drug;Surgery;A combination of conservative methods and surgical treatment.Physiotherapy methodsTreatment of cervical column osteochondrosis necessarily requires the use of the main methods of physiotherapy.The most effective procedures include the following elements:Electrophoresis using drugs. Under the influence of the electric current, the drug particles enter the desired area. Eufillin and novocaine are used for the procedure. Thanks to this, it is possible to stimulate blood circulation and obtain an analgesic effect.Ultrasound exhibition. Thanks to this procedure, it is possible to deal with pain and stop inflammation. This technique also activates the metabolic processes of the body.Magnetotherapy. With your help, it is possible to cope with edema and obtain an analgesic effect.Laser exhibition. This method helps normalize blood circulation and helps facing inflammation.The most effective exercises should include the following elements:Lie on your stomach, rest your hands on the floor, raise your head and torso. It is worth ensuring that the back remains straight. In this position, it is necessary to stay 1 to 2 minutes. Then run carefully to the ground. Make 2-3 repetitions.Lie on your belly, stretch your hands, turn your head in the left side and touch your ear on the ground. Similar movement to perform right. Make 6 to 7 times in each direction.Sit and, breathe, lean. Touch the chest with a chin. After that, exhale, deviate back, throwing his head back. Perform 10 to 15 repetitions.Sit, put your palms on your forehead. Press your head in your arms for 30 seconds. In total, you need to make 2-3 repetitions. Slowly turn your head in different directions. In each direction, you must do 10 rotations. When dizziness appears, the exercise must be stopped.
MassageTo eliminate the signs of cervical osteochondosis, you should certainly make a massage. The procedure must be carried out as carefully as possible, without making efforts. The movements must be extended to the neck, the collar site and the rear.It is best to make massage in a lying position on your stomach.In extreme cases, the procedure is authorized.The technique is based on the use of these techniques:COUTE - implies an influence on the surfaces of the skin. To do this, the palms of the hands or your fingers must caress their backs, moving from the head to the upper third of the back. You can also make zigzag movements.SOUTE - consists of the effects on the deep areas of the skin in the upper third party of the back. To do this, with the thumb and index, the skin is captured. This must be done very carefully, without affecting the tissues in the vertebral area.FRICE - The procedure is carried out to reheat the skin and increase blood circulation in the collar region. This must be done very carefully, without affecting the thorny sections of the vertebrae.Diffusion - is quite rare, because this implies the effect on the tissues deeply located. This can only aggravate an anomaly.With osteochondrosis, self-massage can be done.To do this, it is practical to sit down and use caress methods and rub the neck and shoulders. It is advisable to complete the procedure with friction ointments which contribute to an increase in blood flow and relieve pain in the affected area. Surgical treatmentThe conduct of surgery is shown in the following cases:The presence of neurological differences is a violation of motor activity, weakness or loss of sensitivity of the hands, a loss of control over defecation. When such symptoms appear, you can suspect persistent damage to nerves. Therefore, it is so important to carry out the operation to eliminate compression.The presence of constant pain, which violates a person's quality of life and cannot be eliminated by conservative methods.With the development of cervical osteochondrosis, the following operations can be carried out:Before and spondyléza cervical discock. The operation is carried out through the front surface of the neck. The procedure aims to eliminate the affected disc, the decompression of nerve fibers and the implantation of a special device to maintain the desired distance between the vertebrae.Replacement of the intervertebral disc. In this case, the affected disc is deleted and is rather artificial inserted. Thanks to this procedure, it is possible to maintain motor activity.The realization of surgical interventions to eliminate neurological symptoms has great efficiency. According to separate estimates, it is 80 to 90%. However, these methods are not sufficiently effective when eliminating pain associated with osteochondrosis.Dangers possibleCervical osteochondosis is a serious type of pathology. In this area of the spine, there are many nerves and vessels responsible for brain nutrition. In addition, the cervical vertebrae adapts closely. Therefore, even small changes in this area cause compression or displacement of blood vessels and nerves. Brain blood flow disorders cause migraines, vegetable dystonia, hypertension. There is also a risk of problems in the functioning of the respiratory system, the heart and blood vessels. Many people are disturbed by hearing, visual acuity decreases, the coordination of movements suffers.In difficult situations, cervical osteochondosis causes the vertebral artery syndrome. This ship is responsible for blood supply to the cerebellum and an oblong brain. With the compression of the artery, there is a risk of cerebral ischemia and the development of a stroke of the spine.In addition, pathology can cause damage to nerve roots. This manifests in the form of growth formation, the appearance of radiculopathy, loss of motor activity. The most difficult consequence of the disease is the compression of the spinal cord, which can lead to a deadly result.PreventionTo avoid the development of pathology, it is worth observing simple rules:Playing systematic sports;Eat properly;Take preparations of vitamins and chondroprotectors prescribed by a doctor;Avoid a long stay in an uncomfortable position;Use orthopedic furniture;Choose clothes and shoes for the season, especially in winter.Cervical osteochondosis is a rather dangerous disease that can cause negative health consequences.To avoid serious complications, you need to consult a doctor in a timely manner and clearly follow his recommendations.

Slowly turn your head in different directions. In each direction, you must do 10 rotations. When dizziness appears, the exercise must be stopped.MassageTo eliminate the signs of cervical osteochondosis, you should certainly make a massage. The procedure must be carried out as carefully as possible, without making efforts. The movements must be extended to the neck, the collar site and the rear.It is best to make massage in a lying position on your stomach.In extreme cases, the procedure is authorized.The technique is based on the use of these techniques:COUTE - implies an influence on the surfaces of the skin. To do this, the palms of the hands or your fingers must caress their backs, moving from the head to the upper third of the back. You can also make zigzag movements.SOUTE - consists of the effects on the deep areas of the skin in the upper third party of the back. To do this, with the thumb and index, the skin is captured. This must be done very carefully, without affecting the tissues in the vertebral area.FRICE - The procedure is carried out to reheat the skin and increase blood circulation in the collar region. This must be done very carefully, without affecting the thorny sections of the vertebrae.Diffusion - is quite rare, because this implies the effect on the tissues deeply located. This can only aggravate an anomaly.With osteochondrosis, self-massage can be done.To do this, it is practical to sit down and use caress methods and rub the neck and shoulders. It is advisable to complete the procedure with friction ointments which contribute to an increase in blood flow and relieve pain in the affected area. Surgical treatmentThe conduct of surgery is shown in the following cases:The presence of neurological differences is a violation of motor activity, weakness or loss of sensitivity of the hands, a loss of control over defecation. When such symptoms appear, you can suspect persistent damage to nerves. Therefore, it is so important to carry out the operation to eliminate compression.The presence of constant pain, which violates a person's quality of life and cannot be eliminated by conservative methods.With the development of cervical osteochondrosis, the following operations can be carried out:Before and spondyléza cervical discock. The operation is carried out through the front surface of the neck. The procedure aims to eliminate the affected disc, the decompression of nerve fibers and the implantation of a special device to maintain the desired distance between the vertebrae.Replacement of the intervertebral disc. In this case, the affected disc is deleted and is rather artificial inserted. Thanks to this procedure, it is possible to maintain motor activity.The realization of surgical interventions to eliminate neurological symptoms has great efficiency. According to separate estimates, it is 80 to 90%. However, these methods are not sufficiently effective when eliminating pain associated with osteochondrosis.Dangers possibleCervical osteochondosis is a serious type of pathology. In this area of the spine, there are many nerves and vessels responsible for brain nutrition. In addition, the cervical vertebrae adapts closely. Therefore, even small changes in this area cause compression or displacement of blood vessels and nerves. Brain blood flow disorders cause migraines, vegetable dystonia, hypertension. There is also a risk of problems in the functioning of the respiratory system, the heart and blood vessels. Many people are disturbed by hearing, visual acuity decreases, the coordination of movements suffers.In difficult situations, cervical osteochondosis causes the vertebral artery syndrome. This ship is responsible for blood supply to the cerebellum and an oblong brain. With the compression of the artery, there is a risk of cerebral ischemia and the development of a stroke of the spine.In addition, pathology can cause damage to nerve roots. This manifests in the form of growth formation, the appearance of radiculopathy, loss of motor activity. The most difficult consequence of the disease is the compression of the spinal cord, which can lead to a deadly result.PreventionTo avoid the development of pathology, it is worth observing simple rules:Playing systematic sports;Eat properly;Take preparations of vitamins and chondroprotectors prescribed by a doctor;Avoid a long stay in an uncomfortable position;Use orthopedic furniture;Choose clothes and shoes for the season, especially in winter.Cervical osteochondosis is a rather dangerous disease that can cause negative health consequences.To avoid serious complications, you need to consult a doctor in a timely manner and clearly follow his recommendations.
Diagnostic methodsTo identify osteochondosis of the neck, you must carry out a number of diagnostic procedures.The most informative studies include the following elements:Magnetic resonance imaging is the most informative study that allows you to assess the state of vertebrae and discs between them. In addition, with the help of this procedure, it is possible to detect hernies, to assess their size and their location.X -Ray - This procedure is one of the most affordable research methods. However, it often becomes non -informative, especially in the last stages of the disease.Tomodensitometry - allows you to identify the presence of changes in the structure of the vertebrae. However, the presence of hernias or compression of the spinal cord to diagnose this way is quite difficult.Duplex ultrasound - helps detect blood flow disorders in the vertebral artery. The procedure allows you to detect obstacles and a slowdown in blood flow in the vessels.Treatment methodsThe treatment of cervical osteochondosis is selected taking into account various factors. This is done according to the stage of the disease, the shape of the disease, the severity of the symptoms.The main methods of therapy include the following elements: Conservative therapy - can be a drug and non -drug;Surgery;A combination of conservative methods and surgical treatment.Physiotherapy methodsTreatment of cervical column osteochondrosis necessarily requires the use of the main methods of physiotherapy.The most effective procedures include the following elements:Electrophoresis using drugs. Under the influence of the electric current, the drug particles enter the desired area. Eufillin and novocaine are used for the procedure. Thanks to this, it is possible to stimulate blood circulation and obtain an analgesic effect.Ultrasound exhibition. Thanks to this procedure, it is possible to deal with pain and stop inflammation. This technique also activates the metabolic processes of the body.Magnetotherapy. With your help, it is possible to cope with edema and obtain an analgesic effect.Laser exhibition. This method helps normalize blood circulation and helps facing inflammation.The most effective exercises should include the following elements:Lie on your stomach, rest your hands on the floor, raise your head and torso. It is worth ensuring that the back remains straight. In this position, it is necessary to stay 1 to 2 minutes. Then run carefully to the ground. Make 2-3 repetitions.Lie on your belly, stretch your hands, turn your head in the left side and touch your ear on the ground. Similar movement to perform right. Make 6 to 7 times in each direction.Sit and, breathe, lean. Touch the chest with a chin. After that, exhale, deviate back, throwing his head back.
