Osteochondrosis is often called a disease caused by the transition of a person to a direct walk, a disease of a civilized world. In fact, the load on the spine in modern people is almost never distributed uniformly, and osteochondrosis is characterized by damage to the intervertebral discs. Each year, this disease suffers more and more from the population of the world. At any age, a person can start to suffer from pain, crises and other manifestations of osteochondosis, which, among other things, also causes a number of other diseases. The development of the disease is influenced not only by hereditary factors or age -related changes, as it was before, but also by worsening the environmental situation, food products that cause more harm than the advantages and other living conditions of people in the 21st century. The most common type of osteochondrosis is the lumbar, second place is occupied by osteochondrosis of the cervical column (cervical osteochondosis).The main causes of osteochondrosis in the cervical region
The modern world, despite the progressive methods of treatment, the development of science and medical technology, still faces various types of diseases associated with the spine.

If this happened, it happened quickly for treatment, putting it at the endVertebral injuries inevitably at the end will affect his conditionHypodynamia: a small mobility negatively affects the functioning of all parts of the spineThe poisoning also affects intervertebral discs, prevents the absorption of useful micro and macro. Smoking and alcohol are the main reasons for poisoning of the bodyStress: it seems that lack of sleep, depression, a negative emotional state is not linked to the discomfort tested with osteochondrosis of the cervical column. However, this is not the caseSymptoms of cervical column osteochondrosis
