Symptoms and cervical osteochondrose treatment

Osteochondroose cervix is the result of a seated lifestyle, malnutrition.The first signs of the disease may occur in 25 years, if you do not start treatment, difficult complications will appear.Integrated access to drugs, dietary therapy, physiotherapy and physiotherapy is used in the treatment of diseases.

Causes of osteochondrose of the spine of cervix

Cervical osteochondrose-degenerative-dystrophic changes in interfaced intervals, joints, leading to the reduction of the door mobility, the appearance of heavy pain syndrome.The main reason for the development of disease is violating mineral metabolism, which makes bones and joints become less strong. 

Why is there cervical osteohondrose:

• excess weight, sitting lifestyle;
• Breach of holding, scoliosis;
• rheumatism;
• Flat feet;
• Vsd;
• Incorrect nutrition.

Investments in the deformation of cervical vertebrae can cause injuries, bruising spine, excessive physical activity, stress.In women, osteochondrosis often occurs during pregnancy, menopause - against the background of hormonal changes, the amount of calcium decreases, bone tissue becomes fragile.

General symptoms and signs

With a constant increased burden of the Spine of the cervix, the vessels are compressed, the disorders are the circulatory process, in metabolic processes - the structure of interverters are changed, they are deformed, starting to protrude outside the pillar for spine.

As the osteochondrosis of the event of the cervical region is made:

• Rook Syndrome - against the background compression of nervous endings, which spreads from the door to the spatula, forearm, cover the front wall of the chest;
• muscular weakness in their hands, noticeable edema door;
• When the head moves, a distinctive crisis is heard;
• Weakness, chronic fatigue, blood pressure changes;
• Breach of coordination, head often dizziness, attacks follow nausea, vomiting;
• vision of vision and hearing, noise, ringing in ears;
• stiffness of limbs, languages;
• Frequent migraines;
• In women aged 45-65, the pain appears during sleep, stiffness, tingling in the upper limbs, attacks can be repeated several times in the night.

With cervical osteochondrose, nutrition and blood supply to the brain are disturbed, neurotic disorders - anxiety, irritability, mood changes, sleep changes.

Classification of cervical osteochondorosis

As osteochondrose develops, several phases of the developmental passage, each of which has characteristic characteristics.You seem to be affected by the spine in different stages, you can see in the photo.

Destruction of disease development:

1.  Osteochondrosis 1. Degree - The initial phase continues without particularly expressed symptoms, the person concerns rare and smaller pain when turning and tilting their heads, the rear muscles get tired quickly.
2.  Osteochondrosis 2. Degree - The vertebrae becoming unstable, abolished the nerve, unpleasant sensations in the neck gain a pronounced character, gives it a shoulder, hand.Additional symptoms are increased fatigue, frequent headaches in the occipital area, distraction.
3.  Osteochondrosis of the third degree - Pain acquires a chronic character, covers the upper back, hands, expressed muscle weakness, the limbs are stunned, the intervertebral hernia is developed, and a dizzy appears.
4.  Fourth degree osteochondrosis - There is a complete destruction of intervertebral discs, they have been replaced by the connective tissue, the pathological process covers several spine segments.There is a violation of coordination, the dizziness are quick to increase, and the noise appears in the ears.

Acute osteochondrosis - the consequence of chronic form of disease, characterized by a strong attack of sharp pain, which appears suddenly after waking up.

Which doctor contact?

When signs of cervical osteochondorosis appear, it is necessary to visit a neuropathologist, in some hospitals there is a vertirologist - a specialist is precisely treating spinal diseases.

Diagnostic methods

Obligated forms of osteochondrose have a pronounced clinical picture, which allows you to create an initial diagnosis but during the initial test.Instrumental diagnosis methods will help identify degenerative changes in the vertebrae.

Main types of examination for osteochondrose:

• X -Ray - The method is effective only in the early stages of pathology development;
• MRI - On the screen, the structure of bone structures, the size and direction of development of intervertebral killes, the state of the spinal cord;
• The CT method is less efficient than MRI, because it does not provide accurate information about the presence and size of Hernia;
• Duplex scan - allows you to see blood flow disorder;
• Electronicography - shows the presence of the ring, inflammation, other nerve damage;
• Rheoencephalogram - prescribed for violating blood supply to the brain.

For a target and basic study of certain vertebrae, a discography is carried out - the contrast medium is introduced into an intervertal disk, which allows you to see the smallest changes in the tissues, to distinguish cicatric changes from China.

Ways to treat osteochondrosis of cervix

In the initial stage of development, osteochondrosis can be cured without medication, it is sufficient to revise the diet, daily regime and regularly perform the complex of special exercises.With advanced forms of disease, efficient treatment is possible only if the use of different drugs that help in suspensive changes in degenerative changes in the vertebral.

Medicine treatment

Osteochondrose drug therapy focused on removing unpleasant sensations, restoring the mobility of vertebrae, slowing degenerative changes in tissues.Pain attacks are removed by the injections of the NSAID or corticosteroid, the chronic form of illness is treated with fats, tablets.

How to treat osteochondrose:

• NSAIDs are produced in the form of tablets and funds for outdoor use, eliminated edema, pain;

• Frequent migraines;
• cardiac rhythm, atherosclerosis;
• protrusion, intervertebral hernia, bone river;
