Cervical osteochondrosis

A cervical osteochondrosis, the concentration of which is determined, as can be determined from the name in the neck, is a rather common pathology.The cervical osteochondrosis, the symptoms of which are not always clearly regarded as exclusively as this disease, taking into account the characteristics of its localization and the local processes often leads to the treatment of other areas, these symptoms are therefore contradictory.

General description

Most of the time, the development of cervical osteochondrosis occurs due to a seated lifestyle, which is particularly contributed to a significant change in physical work, even if it has so far been widespread to a moderate extent to work intellectually, which in turn is accompanied by seat work.

Before we generally pass into account the symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis, I would like to find that they can be seen in certain differences to the symptoms, accompany the osteochondrosis as a whole, which may not be particularly surprising, given the anatomical characteristics that the specific that was interested in us, (itself).

The vertebrae concentrated next to each other quite tightly in the throat.In the meantime, the frame in the cervix region is not too well developed, which contributes to the factor to displace the vertebrae.In turn, it leads to a compression of nerves and blood vessels, which is more than abundant in the neck area.For example, the artery of the vertebral artery runs, with the help of which the brain is guaranteed (or rather its rear parts, shown in the form of an elongated brain and a cerebellar).

The compression (i.e. compression) of the vertebral artery due to a decrease in the blood circulation can provoke the ischemia of the spinal cord and brain, and if we consider acute variants of such a course, they even cause a spinal line.Incidentally, such a lesion of the artery can be measured based on the occurrence of symptoms in the form of a violation of the coordination of movements, frequent dizziness and illnesses in connection with visual and hearing representation.

The general compactness that the cervical department has, can lead to even slight muscle tension or vertebral shift causing the nerve ends to be pressed, which implies that it is pinched into the nerve in the cervix, which can also be exposed to vascular structures.Osteophytes that are formed against the background of such conditions only lead to a deterioration in the situation, given the compactness, which is characteristic of the cervix area.Remember our readers that the growth of small sizes that form directly on the bones are determined as osteophytes, those substances that are essentially a process in the process of the pathological process (i.e. generally understanding of hypertrophy) in which an increase in a separate part of the body/organ trade is an increase.

Cervical osteochondrosis causes the development of projections and hernias in the spine, the effects of which also the nerve root and the development of edema and inflammation in the IT nervous root in the IT and the flight in the IT shift in the IT shift in theIt and the origin of the IT in the IT.As a result, it remains to be returned to the compact size that the spinal channel of the department interested in us has for us, and it remains to be emphasized that the spine completely covers its volume, which means that additional compression occurs - this time directly in the vertebral canal.Pain syndrome is observed as a pronounced manifestation of such a course of the disease.

In addition, osteochondrosis can also cause the brain to be pressed and occurs as much more often in view of the sizes that is characteristic of the spine of the relevant department than when looking at processes in lumbar and thoracic parts.It is remarkable that the damage zone is reduced not only with the defeat of the neck and head itself, but also against the defeat of the limbs with a neck and head, but also against the defeat of the limbs (such a result is diagnosed much more often).In view of these characteristics of cervical osteochondrosis, it becomes one of the frequent causes of patients disabilities.

So we try to summarize the factors in particular that lead to compression of the nervous and vascular structures in the osteochondrosis of the cervix region.

• Slip (or shift) of the spine disk.This state implies a specific definition - spondylolistz.For the most part, this type of shift in terms of its appearance in practice is minimal.In addition, it is important that even a slight shift causes the development of paralysis, not to mention the more serious shift, which leads to something else as a fatal result.
• Osteophytes.As already mentioned, the cervical osteochondrosis provokes the development of the corresponding growth, ie osteophytes.In turn, they are from the sides of the vertebral bodies and lead to irritation of these muscles, which fit directly to them, which guarantees an increase in their sound.The burden that affects the vertebrae is therefore increasing, which already leads to an increase in pressure to the intervertebral disc in the same height.Against the background of such a process, the risk of a lead increases.Osteophytes aimed at the passage of the vertebral artery can provoke a narrowing.
• Formation of lead, spine hernia.All of this is one of the options for the result of the development of processes that are relevant for cervical osteochondrosis.
• Change the height of the spine (ie your flattening).In frequent cases, a reduction in the height occurs due to a decrease in the size of the band shit hole.In addition, it is important to note that even an unsuccessful turn of the neck can lead to subluxation of the cervical vertebrae, whereby the additional compression (ie compression) is guaranteed.

Cervical osteochondrosis: symptoms

Changes with the spine with cervical osteochondrosis occur in combination with many clinical manifestations.It is noteworthy that the listing of you can be assigned over three dozen options, while the most interesting and unexpected for the patients can be found as the fact that in addition to "traditional" pain in the neck, symptoms that do not fall under the illness are not subject to the disease.For example, not every pain in the elbow joint, the weakness of the legs or visual disorders as well as some other manifestations will introduce, which we will also cover in the following consideration.

In order to present the basic symptoms that can accompany the osteochondrosis with cervical osteochondrosis, we are conventional for you three main groups that have been determined in the pathological process in accordance with the prevailing participation of the central nervous system.

• I group.This includes the neurological symptoms of the disease, which are seen as a complication, which, due to the influence of the process, arise directly on the windows and nerve roots as well as nerves and plexus (in other words, the process concerns the peripheral section of the nervous system).
• II group.In this case, we talk about the symptoms that are relevant for the cervical osteochondrosis, which manifests itself with the direct effect of the pathological process on the spinal cord.
• III group.Symptoms connected directly to the processes that occur in the brain with cervical osteochondrosis, and therefore in the skulls in the structures and shell of its hemispheres, in the fuselage and in the vessels of the brain.

In short, it can be noted for each of the groups that the symptoms of the first group's neck osteochondrosis are mainly pain, the symptoms of the second motor disorders and the symptoms of the third party in phenomena that are connected to the pathological effects in the vascular phenomenon on the vessels.Of course, in frequent cases there is a manifestation of these symptoms not only in their pure form, but also in the form of combination with each other, but this does not exclude the possibility of determining the leading group of listed options based on the symptoms.

Cervical osteochondrosis: symptoms of the first group

As already mentioned, the first group contains symptoms in the form of painful manifestations that occur due to damage in the nervous system of the peripheral department.This includes constant pain in the neck (defined by both "cervix") and through cervical radiculites, neck snake.In addition, muscles, joint pain (wrist joint, elbow or shoulder) and pain in the chest area can also occur (which can occur in the heart, liver).

It should be noted that the pain in the neck is the first symptom of osteochondrosis cervical and are observed in almost all patients with this diagnosis.Such pain occurs in the morning after awakening and at the time of the attempts to roll in a lying position, as well as with laughter, cough, unsuccessful rotation of the head or the sneezing, which is already possible in a different position of the body.The nature of the pain can be defined as a hole and stupid.In some cases the pain can shoot.Regardless of a specific option, the localization of this pain concentrates in the depths of the neck.The duration of the pain can be either periodically and constant.

The pain that occurs during awakening is to reduce its own intensity that occurs during the day, and its complete disappearance is possible.The radiation of the pain (its distribution) on the shoulder area and the surface of the neck is not excluded.

The tension of the neck muscles (moderate), the difficulty of breathing in the cervix region, can also be observed.The acute period of manifestation of the disease is characterized by the assumption of a somewhat strange pose by patients, in which they strive to keep their heads slightly under the slope and at the same time.In the event of a shift, limitation is often observed in the rotation movements made by the head.

Frequent characteristic symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis differ in the presence of noise phenomena that occur at the time of rotation of the head in the form of a crunch and cod, so that you can bring an analogy to sand with the friction of the stone.In such cases, it is often possible to diagnose the statute of the course of the cervical osteochondrosis, except in the part of the listed symptoms of patients with attention.

In addition to cervical pain and closure, the osteochondrosis of the cervix region can occur in a complex with cervical and cervix radiculitis.These conditions manifest themselves in the form of pain, which are concentrated in the upper cervix departments and in the neck.The strengthening of the pain is determined to a lesser extent at the time of turning the head in one direction or the other that such a manifestation of pain in other actions is relevant.The spread of pain with cervical osteochondrosis on the shoulder girdle and the hands (to one or both) occurs.This happens in particular at the moment of muscle tension, which are directly related to certain nerve roots, the compression of which occurs through vertebrae.

It can be noted for the time being that cervical radiculitis is about 90% of the cases of squeezing roots in 6 and 7 departments in 5% - in 5 and 8 departments.The defeat of the sixth department therefore leads to the occurrence of unpleasant sensations or to the pain that concentrates with a thumb in the context of the anterior outer surface of the region of the forearm;The participation of the seventh cervical spine leads to unpleasant sensations and pain in the middle finger;The participation of the eighth root leads to the occurrence of unpleasant sensations and pain in the little finger.

If the lesion affects the upper vertebrae and the cervix disks, this can lead to the participation of the Occipital nervous, which within the process of the Occipital.This manifests itself with pain in the neck, they are constant, characterized by periodic amplification.In addition, the neck area loses sensitivity, a specific pain point can be determined in the form of painful poetry and stress.

Cervical osteochondrosis often leads to the development of crooked, which is due to a cramp of the neck muscles against the background of the head head and the curvature of this condition.In this case, the head is easily moved to the side/forward or forward/backwards in patients.There is practically no way to move the neck, an attempt to turn to the head is accompanied by the occurrence of certain pain in the neck, the shoulder or in the back of the head.

The compression of the vessels for osteochondrosis due to insufficiency for this reason of blood supply leads to the weakening of the impulse in radial artery and with the simultaneous pale finger.

Another manifestation of cervical osteochondrosis is a complication in which the pain concentration occurs in the shoulder joint, which is defined as definedShoulder -Shoulder -periarthritis.It develops due to violations in the shoulder -lopatic area of innovation, which changes the dystrophic changes in the gradual way and the grades grow.These disorders occur with the beginning of a painful process that accompanies the cervical osteochondrosis, but they are simply invisible for a long time.

The main symptoms of this pathology are usually pain in the joint, which occurs without visible causes.The manifestations of this pain in a reinforced form are determined at night.The kidnapping then leads to pain (mainly from the outer part of the joint) and examines the painful zones.Due to the desire of the patient to ensure the rest of the painful member, the joint becomes against the background of the reflex muscle contraction in IT ("frozen shoulder").Then, in the absence of treatment, it becomes more impossible than above the horizontal level.

Cervical osteochondrosis: symptoms of the second group

The symptoms of the second group consist of syndromes that occur against the background of the damage at the neck level of the spinal cord.Two mechanisms can lead to this.It is either a compression that is produced from the pulpoose core due to the softness of its consistency or a violation of the spinal cord from the side of the solid (long) slices or growth from the posterior cervical vertebrae.In women, the first in men is observed more often - the second mechanism.

The symptoms of this course are often accompanied by the weaknesses of the arms and legs, and in the legs the sound increases without losing muscle weight in the hands, the sound is reduced, the volume is reduced.A sensitive muscle twitch in your hands can develop without pain.Most of the time, such a complication at the age of 40 to 55, somewhat less often - at the age of senile and even less often - is diagnosed at the age of boys.The relevance of such a complication can be discussed in violations of cardiac activity (arrhythmias) or in atherosclerosis in violations of a patient.

Changes in the spinal cord are defined asMyelopathyAgainst the background of pathological changes, it develops in the disc in the area between 5th and 6th cervical vertebrae.Its development can affect its development of excessive overpressure, which influences the muscles of the shoulder girdle as well as negative emotions and alcohol poisoning.

One of the manifestation of myelopathy is the disappearance of temperature and pain sensitivity due to the characteristics of the listed clinical manifestations.Accordingly, patients lose the possibility of feeling the irritating effects that in one way or another on the skin in the neck area, the upper parts in the chest and on the side (on one side).Thus, the plot that has lost sensitivity has the shape of a fence.Together with the listed symptoms, spontaneous pain (breaking, painful) is weakened by the defeat.

Another type of manifestations of the neck osteochondrosis is the "Semiconductor Distribution Syndrome", which occurs with inadequate supply of the side pillars of the spinal cord (its departments) with blood.This leads to an increased tiredness of the lower extremities, which are characterized when walking/standing and intermittent chrome.In some cases, nuns of the hands and unpleasant sensations in them (which is relevant for the time of day) are not excluded in the feet manifestations.When the eyes are closed, there is a violation of the coordination.Despite their own consistency, the listed phenomena do not limit the ability to capacity.

Cervical osteochondrosis: symptoms of the third group

The third group of symptoms contains the brain manifestations of the disease examined, which occurs due to the lack of blood flow in the system, which is responsible for the supply of the brain trunk with blood.The vertebral arteries act as main vessels that form such a system.We underline the main types of syndromes that are relevant in this case.

• Hypotalamic syndrome.It is most frequently diagnosed, which is manifested in symptoms that absorb an impaired hypothalamus or rather in the form of neurotic disorders.This is irritability and increased fatigue, fear and touch, instability of moods and sleep disorders (its superficiality, sleep is characterized by the ease of ascension without calm and difficulties falling asleep).The possibility of concentration on something is also lost.The ability to remember is reduced, unpleasant sensations often occur in various organs.Heavy cases are accompanied by the appearance of causal fears, anger, longing and fears.The patients are pale, they have a cooling of the limbs, an increased sweating, increasing pressure and pulse.The appetite such as sex drive is reduced, urination is described.
• Drops syndrome.In the attacks of a causal case, it insists in a fainting of the patient with a loss of consciousness (possibly without his loss), which also occurs due to the vascular seizure.The consciousness is restored quickly enough if the patient is placed in a horizontal position (the head is lowered).After an attack, the patients have a pronounced weakness in their legs and a collapse, headaches are possible.
• Vestibular barrel syndrome.The only manifestation of the syndrome in the early stages of the disease is dizziness that occurs due to the sensitivity of the vestibular apparatus compared to the lack of blood supply.Nausea and vomiting are possible in combination with some fluctuations in the movements of the eyeballs and instability when walking.
• Kochlear-barrel syndrome.It manifests itself in the form of ringing and noise in the ears, mainly on one side.The hearing can lose weight, the congestion of the ear occurs, mainly the syndrome is connected to the previous one, but its independent course is not excluded.Incidentally, it is not always easy to determine the connection with cervical osteochondrosis with such symptoms.
• Sydrome gworight board.The main manifestations are that the presence of a foreign object can be seen in the throat that causes difficulties when swallowing.This feeling of dry throat is also possible with itching.The voice loses its sound, the survival appears in the larynx and throat, pain in these areas.Fatigue is determined during the conversation that require a break, difficulties in swallowing thick foods together with the spasm of the esophagus are possible, and the reduction of such manifestations occurs after rest.
• Visual disorders.Different types of visual disorders: "fog" in front of the eyes, a drop in visual acuity, etc., change of different violations a day.

Treatment

A complete recovery with the disease that we consider is not possible because your treatment generally focuses on slowing down the current process and in particular a certain period of the course of the disease.Exacerbations require hospital stays and semi -water regime.

With regard to drug therapy, it is the appointment of different types of analgesics.The possibility of using novocaine muscle blockade is not excluded.In parallel to the treatment, the focus is on vitamin therapy, muscle relaxants can be prescribed.The effectiveness of the results in the treatment of cervical osteochondrosis is achieved when using physiotherapy methods (electrophoresis using anesthetics, ultrasound procedures, etc.).The treatment of cervical osteochondrosis also implies the need to carry the Shants collar called in this way.Massage procedures are prescribed for remission times.

The diagnosis of an osteochondrosis of the cervix is carried out by a neurologist, and the direction of this specialist can be visited with incorrect assumption in the need for Laura, therapist, cardiologist and other specialists.

Migraine is a fairly common neurological disease, accompanied by a pronounced paroxysmal headache.Migraines, whose symptoms actually have pain, are mainly concentrated from one half of the head in the eye, temple and forehead, in nausea and in some cases in vomiting, without reference to the brain tumor formations, dashes and serious head injuries, although it can indicate the relevance of certain pathologies.

The syndrome of chronic fatigue (Sokr. Cu) is a state in which mental and physical weakness arises due to unknown factors and the duration of six months or more.The chronic fatigue syndrome, the symptoms of which with infectious diseases are also to be associated with an accelerated pace of life and an increased information stream that literally collapses on one person for their later perception.

The ischemic stroke is an acute type of cerebrovascular cerebral cycle, since the invoices with a certain area of the blood brain or to the complete adjustment of this process are additionally damaged by brain tissue in combination with its functions.The ischemic stroke, the symptoms and the disease of which are most frequently observed in the most common types of cerebrovascular diseases, is the cause of subsequent disabilities and often fatal result.

Avitaminosis is a painful state of a person who occurs due to an acute lack of vitamins in the human body.Distinguish between spring and winter vitamin deficiency.In this case there are no restrictions in the floor and age group.

Asthenovegetative syndrome (ABC) is a pathological process in which a functional violation of the autonomous system takes place that is responsible for working internal organs.In most cases, such a violation arises to the inability of a person to react appropriately to stressful situations.

With the help of physical exercises and abstinence, most people without medicine can do without.
