InOsteochondrosis of cervical and treatment symptomsThey will vary depending on the type of deformation in the neck vertebra that is related to physical, inflammatory or mental effects for them.
The disease is usually chronic, manifested by many clinical symptoms caused by the nerve and blood vessels from the vertebra. Their compression is due to wear or deformation of the disc (reducing height, loss of elasticity, deformation of its fibrous or rupture). Osteochondrosis cervical is a common disease occurring at any age after 20 years.
The reason for pathology is in vandalized changes in the spine. First of all, the changes in the discs occur: elasticity, their strength and height, their fibers are deformed and protruding (the initial stage of the Intervertebral hernia) and hernia appears. All of these changes have caused the growth of bone on the Osteophytes, leading to the movement and then - to lose the ability to move the neck vertebra. Because the spine is a flexible protection case, for the spinal cord, the changes in the intervertebral disc and losing the flexibility of the vertebrae are detrimental to the nerve structures and blood vessels of the spinal cord. They may be forced, moved, broke brain circulation and conservation not only the cervix and shoulders, but also internal organs, lower limbs.
The older the patient is, the more interatorebral discs are changed under the effects of muscle weakness associated with age, long loads into the spine, injury, slowing physical activity, improperly formed posture, stressful situations and increased tension in the neck, pattern, spinal inflammation, etc. v.
Due to its anatomical structure, the cervical spine is more susceptible to pathology, because its vertebrae are the most mobile and very tight positions related to each other. In addition, the neck vertebra has weak muscle protection. Typically, changing degeneration develops in the discs of the most mobile vertebrae 5. 6, 7.
What are the symptoms of cervical joint diseaseThe diversity and inconsistency of symptomsOsteochondrosis of cervical and treatment symptomsIt should be considered comprehensively and combined with the type and severity of the degeneration of the discs. The signs of cervical joint disease are very diverse and contradictory, because they depend on the localization and the power of the expression of the deformation process of the discs, the characteristics of compressing or tightening the nerve and blood roots.
Therefore, often patients' complaints are not aimed at a neuroscientist, but other experts: cardiologists, therapist, ear, nose and throat doctor, medical doctor, rheumatoid doctor, etc. v. At the same time, a neuroscientist can give diagnosis of cervical bone based on the results of the MRI of the brain and the spine, the brain ultrasound of the brain, ECG, etc. v.
Three signs of the weakening function of the nervous systemExperienced experts know about thirty different options a combination of symptoms of cervical joint disease. It will not be possible to describe all the signs of the symptoms of this common disease, so let's focus onThree complexesThe main symptoms characterize a certain weakness of the central nervous system.
The first complex of the basic symptoms applies to the weakened functions of the peripheral part of the nervous system. This part is represented by nerves and other factors that are leaving the brain and spinal cord, and is divided into SOMA and autonomous systems.
In short, the first complex of symptoms of cervical bone is presented in the form of localized localization. This does not mean that the signs of pain, often the pain is combined with other weakened body functions. But mainly - these are unchanged or periodic pain in the neck, the appearance that the patient connects to the lower body, prolonged stress or in an uncomfortable position, lifting weight, a turning point of the head.
The pain is painful, shot or similar to a shock. Their positioning depends on the tension of some muscles related to the specific roots of the nerves, squeezed by the vertebrae. Therefore, pain may spread in the neck, neck, shoulder, one or both hands, radiating chest - to the heart, liver. In addition, there are complaints about brittle or cracked in the vertebra of the cervix when the head moves, as well as the hardness of the rotation movements of the head.
In the acute onset of the disease, the pain and muscle spasm forced the patient to be in a position with a tilted head and turn to one side. Burns may appear between shoulder blades if the formation of cervical plants is compressed and their blood supply is disturbed. Such pains often increase with physical and emotional stress.
Usually there is swelling, pale and cooling hands, paralysis, fast heart rate, heart pain, narrowing or expansion of pupils, etc. v. Due to the weakness of the shoulder and space area, the symptoms of changes in shoulder dysfunction. The patient complained about the pain, could not lift and put his hand aside, the stiffness of the shoulder joint.
The second complex of symptoms of cervical joint disease occurs due to the weakening function of the spinal cord, and is manifested by motive disorders.
The dysfunction of the spinal cord occurs due to its compression due to the loss of peeling nucleus from the plate or injury to the solid disk and growth (osteophytes). Depending on the mechanism of exposure to the spinal cord, the following dysfunction complexes are recorded: the hardness of the occipital muscles and the cervical muscle, the weakness of the arms and legs, with the tone of the leg muscles and reducing the sound and losing weight; loss of temperature and painful sensitivity; The strong fatigue of the foot, the coordination of weakness.
A set of third symptoms characterized by blood supply disorders in the brain's vessels and the pathology of the skull nerves occurred due to deformation in the neck vertebra. Symptoms of vascular pathology are manifested.
The typical symptoms of vascular disorders:
Neurological conditions (discomfort, desire, anxiety, fatigue, sleep disorders);
faint; Headache and dizziness; nausea and vomiting;
noise and ear bell, hearing loss;
visual disorders (dark eyes, fog, flashing point, visual impairment);
Glory exploitation syndrome (sore throat, feeling about a foreign object, dry, difficult to swallow).
Symptoms of cervical joint disease are unclear, and should be considered in a complex and depends on the pathological processes in the spine.
Only one qualified expert can deal with the clinical manifestations of this disease, make accurate diagnosis and accuracy of the causes of disorders detected.
How to treat this diseaseOsteochondrosis of cervical spinal symptoms and treatment depends on the patient's condition, the severity of the disease, the nature of the cervical vertebra lesions.
During acute, hospitalization and drug treatment may be required. Often use painkillers, radius blockade Novocaine, muscle relaxants reduce muscle spasms; Chondroprotector for the nutrition of cartilage fabric; Sedative soothes the nervous system, B vitamins, enhances the conductivity of the nerves. Treatment of osteoarthritis of the cervical spine is always long, and it must be complicated.
During the remission, when acute symptoms are not available, physical therapy methods (electrophoresis, ultrasound, etc. ) are widely used, physical education, massage, as well as unconditional procedures, for example, acupuncture, must be prescribed.
Many conservative treatments of osteoarthritis are known to prevent the progression of the disease. However, each patient needs a personal treatment process to take into account the stage of the disease, the characteristics of the body, gender and age. The purpose of the treatment of cervical joints is:
Eliminate pain and edema at the inflammatory position.
Relax the tension muscles of the neck.
The release of clamp nerve roots.
Increase blood circulation.
Activate metabolism.
Improve the power of intervertebral disks.
The complex treatment that is targeted can prevent the appearance of Protrus and Intervertebral hernia.
In order for symptoms and treatment of joints and treatment not to be given, and serious complications of the disease must start treating promptly.
