Pathological changes in the articular cartilage, which lead to a dystrophy of the intervertebral discs of the cervix region, are referred to as osteochondrosis.The disease occurs for various reasons, has symptoms that are similar to other diseases, not always recognized and hindered with a hidden danger to human health, so that it requires competent prevention.
What is a dangerous osteochondrosis of the cervical spine?
The spine is a support for the entire body and needs care.
No wonder you say - the spine must be protected!
The cervix department is on the one hand the mobile part of the spine.At the same time, it is quite susceptible and is exposed to the structure of the vertebrae of a slight injury due to poorly developed cervical and anatomical features.
- First, the cervical vertebrae differ in the structure.
- Second, the proximity of their location determines the transmission of nerves and blood vessels even in the event of a slight relationship of the vertebrae.
Both the vessels, in particular the vertebral arteries and the nerve fibers go through the holes of the transverse vertebrates and actively participate in the innering of the brain.Pressing blood vessels removes the brain of blood supply, and this can lead to severe brain disorders.
In addition, the deformation of nerve roots and vascular plexus can cause a shift in the spine disc.In addition, he usually protrudes or sideways back on the side of what is affected by the formation of a hernia.At this stage, the hard drive maintains its integrity, but the danger lies in the direction of the hernia within the intervertebral disc channel.
In the next stage, the degeneration influences the vertebral joints.There is bone growth around them that gradually cover the lumen of the channels that exist between the vertebrae.
It should be taken into account that the channels of the cervix region are much narrower due to the anatomical structure than in other parts of the spine.Therefore, the slightest advantage of the hard drive is sufficient to appear compression.Vascular and nerve formations are pressed, the muscles in response to irritation are excessively tense, the vertebral pressure is reinforced.
The processes described lead to pathological ischemic consequences, since the spinal cord and the brain suffer that do not receive the necessary diet.
Why does the disease develop?
The earlier attitude towards osteochondrosis as an older illness with symptoms, which increases in parallel to age, was now replaced by another time that is relevant for today.The disease was clearly "younger".These days of the doctors, doctors who are characteristic of osteochondrosis are addressed, quite young people aged 18 and 30-35 years and even children.
Universal computerization and widespread driving of the car help to fill the rows of patients with cervical osteochondrosis.
Among the many causes of the disease of the main thing
- Inadequate physical training, especially in the underdevelopment of the bone muscle system.
- Saids, sitting (sitting in the long term behind the steering wheel or on the monitor screen, TV) lifestyle.
- Inheritance factor.
- Violation of attitude, also due to flat feet.
- Excessive body weight.
- The curvature of the spine, also due to injuries as a result of fractures or bruises.
- A long stay of a person in a state of stress.
- Bad ecology.
- Settlement and contagious lesions.
- Disadvantage in the diet of vitamins, trace elements.
- Lack of liquid in the body.
- Wear heavy load.
- Long stay in a forced, uncomfortable position when the cervical spine has a load (including during sleep on a "wrong" pillow).
- Inborn instability of vertebrates.
The listed factors mean that a person starts problems with the neck because the Rooser syndrome develops.Due to the degenerative changes in the body, the cartilage tissue of the intervertebral discs loses its inherent elasticity, its physiologically normal size and shape.
One person begins to have headaches, pain in the neck, dizziness, flickering in the eyes of "flying", ears in the ears and many other symptoms if you urgently consult a doctor to make a precise diagnosis!
prevention
The prevention of the cervical osteochondrosis consists in the responsible organization of the workplace and the entire work process, the right nutrition, swimming, yoga, the execution of simple gymnastics and massage, night rest on the pillow, which repeats the physiological bend of the neck.
- Swimming and yogaare an excellent prevention of the osteochondrosis of the cervical spine.You can get into yourself or under the supervision of an experienced trainer.
- Nutritious nutritionIt should be composed so that fruit, vegetables, a sufficient amount of clean drinking water, products rich in vitamins, calcium and magnesium every day.You should not abuse fat, salty, smoked, alcohol, tobacco processes.It is recommended to rule out products that contribute to the appearance of overweight, edema and those that are poorly removed from the body.
- The implementation mode of each work should be organized in such a way that every 45-60 minutes of five-minute break and fill them with physical and breathing exercises.
- During the physical warm -up you must move, move, take the inclination of the head forward, turn it on the sides, up and down.
Circular rotation movements of the neck are not recommended!You can lead to neck injuries!
It is also recommended to draw the spine.The exercise is convenient to lie on the back as standard or to be on the back and to extend into the opposite directions with the effort of the arms and legs, so that the whole body extends together with the spine.
Kniebugen and distraction are also useful.
You should choose simple exercises and run them according to age and to the best of our strength without overwhelming!
The goal of gymnastics is to relax the muscles of the neck, the shoulders, the removal of excessive muscle tension, which occurs with a long -term monotonous position of the case and strengthens the sore muscles of the cervix fiber.In this case, the mobility of the vertebrae and the blood flow to the entire collar area improves.
The gymnastics should be carried out regularly, each exercise should be carried out 5-8 times, which observes its own sensations.
There should be no pain when carrying out a sports lesson!
- The massage of the nearby plate or the perose zone of the zone can be carried out or looking for help from a masseur.
- For high quality, an orthopedic pillow with anatomically correct form is not injured in the neck of the night sleep or the daylight, which contributes to relaxing the muscles of the head and neck.A good pillow protects nerves and blood vessels.
The prevention of cervical osteochondrosis is relevant for students, school youth and for everyone who has been on the computer for a long time, at the table or in the machine in a seated position!
If you have children, it is very important from early childhood to monitor the correctness of your attitude and to adapt them with the slightest violations or curvature.This is also an effective prevention of the cervix.
