Cervical osteocondrosis or spondylosis occurs as a result of changes in vertebrae and structure.Although the cervical region is quite short in the total length of the spine, it is the most important part of the spine.Each pair of neighboring vertebraes organizes intervertible holes to each muscles and body, which are nervous roots and the upper half of the body.Through other holes - in the lateral processes of these vertebrae - vital vessels provide blood supply to the brain.
Causes of osteocondrosis of cervical spine
Reasons for osteocondrosis:
- Injuries,
- "Seated" work on the monitor located below the eye level,
- Physical labor associated with the transmission of weights,
- Long - driving a car,
- Work "on the phone" without using distance devices (in this case, the operator pushes the phone on the ear shoulder)
- Constitutional features (cervical vertebrae, curved, congenital changes in the short neck)
The formation of pathological vertebral changes
Small dots with osteochondrosis are starting to occur on the edges of vertebral bodies injuring nearby structures.Most of this, this happens in response to the loading of the cervical unit, not only the result of "aging of aging", not only the "aging" age "age".As the disease develops, the closure of vertebrae and the height of intervertebral disks occurs.These discs are normal, play the role of shocking cord of spine, and prevent damage to spinal roots among other things.Progressive osteocondrosis occurs in a speech of the nucleus of intervertebral disk the jacket's nucleus, which is weakening the ligaments that "restricting" each side during the disease.This hernia can also squeeze the spinal structures and lead to neurological manifestations of the disease.
What are the symptoms of cervical osteocondrosis?
Osteocondrosis of cervical spine with pain syndrome
Any pain in the neck force pathology of cervical waist.In terms of growing, the intensity of pain syndrome is divided into 4 stages, in the fourth stage, the "crowd" in the third most severe muscle group, so strong - so strongly causes the patient's inaction and performance loss.
In addition to the pain syndrome in the cervical and occipital region, the "reflected" in the upper part of the patient (radiation), the subservist side of the chest "reflects" (radiation) pains.
Osteocondrosis of radicular syndrome waist
They talk about pain, numbness and tingling, lower jaw, upper back, forearm and fingers in the process of nervous roots.At the same time, the patient focuses on "as he left" and unfavorable.In the joints of the fingers, the morning stiffness was not more than 10-15 minutes.With the development of radical syndromes, the muscle force of the upper extremities may be marked during the examination.
Osteocondrosis of cervical spine with "vertebral artery syndrome"
In the process of participating in the blood vessels in the process of (s), when the patient complains of the headaches often from the headache, especially after the head and dizziness, after staying in a certain situation.This clinical situation has been well-known using ultrasound (with "doppler mapping mode").Ultrasound, the inquisition of vertebrates, the contraction of lumens is determined.In this case, we can talk about surgery because a change in the sounding of blood flow in the hibernated arteries is a risk factor for the development of stroke.
Osteocondrosis of cervical spine with "heart (heart) syndrome"
This syndrome patient primarily refers to pain related to pain in the left half of the lower part, which weakens the heart, physical activity or body position.After removing the myocardial infarction and other heart disease, the patient is observed and treated by an orthopedist.
Diagnosis
Four methods are used to clarify the diagnosis: radiography, ultrasound, calculated tomography and magnetic resonance image.
The most convenient method is still a ray of cervical spine, the most informed, side ("side view") is a radiograph.This method allows the presence of general structural changes in the injury, vertebrae, to have common structural changes.
Ultrasound examination (ultrasound) is done to clarify the status of vertebral arteries.With the help of this method, the flow of blood is disrupted and if it is, how and what obstacles are known and know where they are.
Calculated Tomography (CT).The situation of bone structures allows you to assess the situation of bone density, bone density, which allows you to see smaller osteoophyfits (bone grew) than possible with X -Ray.
Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI).This type of examination is necessary for the exact localization of the suspicious hernia, the spinal cord and the damage of the damage to this damage.This research is needed with surgical (surgical) treatment of syligan waist diseases.
Cervical osteocondrosis treatment
Drug treatment
Standard product set for cervical osteochondrosis reflects the purpose of treatment: Eliminating the inflammation of painful muscle and nervous roots, and eliminate pain syndrome by increasing the mobility of the spine.To achieve these goals, first of all, the use of painkillers, NSAIDs - non-anti-inflammatory drugs and muscle flowers.It is necessary to remember that these groups can be dangerous because they are likely to be interpreted by symptoms, as well as assessing the side effects of these drugs.Local (Basel) medications from NSAID in the form of gels are widely used and the pain is suspended, the same drugs can already be used in the form of ointments.
DPER is used in systematic medications for the treatment of osteocondrosis in the "main" level.These substances restore Vertabra's cartilage structures, prevent further damage.Treatment courses are long, the impact lasted for years.
There are significant differences from the pathology of other spine in cervical osteochondrosis.In this case, pain in the neck cannot be angry with signals from spinal nerves, but with painful chronic muscle overturning - all together muscle - tonic syndrome.This is a completely "good" state with the same set of drugs: using steroids, using intramuscular "blockade", anti -inflamatic medications, muscular relaxations.Usually the doctor also reveals a sharp pain in the muscles of the upper shoulder zooms, as well as the "trigger" points along the entire cervical spine.Often in such pathological women, it is mainly a pathology under 40 years of age.Despite the same pain syndrome, the vascular neural structures remain intact, the stream of the main area does not suffer.
Textbook therapy
This method of treatment, recently unaccompanied with other changes in the nuts, nervous system and the blood circulation system (often a small injury, subluxation) pain can be effective.Manually allowed therapy to seize after a comprehensive examination, the doctor who performs this procedure must have sufficient experience in the field of traumatology and orthopedics.The use of hand therapy with the "old" forms of the disease is dangerous!
The two methods of this type of intervention are known:
- Manipulation (subluxation, tnayak "bone clicks") sharp short effects of significant power aimed at being eliminated (;
- Mobilization (method is based on a smooth neck stretch after warming the muscle corset of the brain).
The combined method based on two keys is also used.It is important to remember that in addition to these contrasts, hand therapy for any disease accompanied by the increase in blood pressure for any pathology of thyroid diaper and en-body.
Treatment of cervical osteocondrosis at home
Medical gymnastics for cervical osteochondrosis
The first and basic rule for beginners to deal with physiotherapy workouts do not make training to eliminate painful feelings.Of course, you should not start in the "acute" period when the pain looks new.Another important recommendation is to prevent sudden movements and circular movements in the cervical region.
Each lesson must begin with a short light self-pity of the neck muscles.
The following "warming" warming -
- The hands are lowered along the body, the shoulders are flat, and the back is straight (pressed by pressing the heels, shoulder blades and a bit of the wall).On all legs, we walk in 1 min, 1 min, socks, 1 slabs - in the heaban.
- The starting position is the same.We squeeze the brushes into tubers, we lower the shoulders, our hands are made.The actions are slow, 20 repetitions, the final rise is more than 5 seconds.We are sure that the neck muscles are not "compression."
- The starting position is the same.We turn our head to the right and then to the left.The actions are smooth, a slope with 8 scores, in the extreme inclination point - 8 seconds.
- The starting position sits on the same or hard chair.Head of the head smooth tilts, in excessive point - hold 8 seconds
- The starting position sits on the same or hard chair.Slowly turn the head forward, slowly turn his head right (4 credits) and left (4 account).Do not allow muscular tension.
- The starting position sits on the same or hard chair.We raise your shoulders into 4 accounts, then we reduce the number 4.10 repetitions.
- The starting position sits on the same or hard chair.We raise our shoulders, but now we are now on 8 scores, we are circular movements in 8 scores.10 repetitions.
- We adapt to the back and check the posture.Up to 4 account, reduces the shoulder blades behind your waist, try to close them, we stretch 8 seconds at the end point, and then go back to the starting position.
Pillow
As already mentioned, the main reason for the development of cervical osteocondrosis is the first and often cervical osteocondrosis.The rational choice of pillows and mattresses that provide a comfortable and convenient position during sleep is not less than gymnastics, physiookes and drugs.
When choosing a mattress, pay attention to the composition of fillers (at least half of the products made of the coconut chip, ie quite hard.).Soft spring mattresses do not ensure enough correction of the spine.On the optimal sleeping side for sleep, pull one or knee to the stomach.The pillow should be located on a road to fill the entire space between the shoulder, ear and mattros, the parietal part of the head is the same horizontal line with the spine.To avoid very high and very low, as well as soft pillows.The ideal choice is an ergonomic form product with a small squeeze-leal on one side, ie a small squeeze-leal on one side.
General recommendations
Notice the stance.When walking or in a permanent position, the position is a position where the chest moves forward and stomach.
Avoid staying in a long time in a residence position.A simple rule is known for the prevention of cervical osteochondrosis: 10-15 minutes of walking or warming is required after every 60 minutes of work.
A seat for work should be a high head or back.
In the seat position, the legs should sit on the ground and the neck should not be tense.For this purpose, use special orthopedic devices: the rolls below the neck while driving in a car, a pillow under the back.
Avoid lifting weight.If necessary, if the knees collapsed, press the heavy object on the body, and then he stopped using the power of the muscles of the legs, but not a "thrust".
Do not lean on the fixed legs.Use stands, work surfaces to bring the object closer and use it to not convince your face to the subject.Try to do homework sitting in a chair or gymnastics ball.
If you need to use a mop, broom or rake, do not strain your arms, back and neck, do not lie side by side.
Avoid swimming in the style of brass.
