Osteochondrosis is a chronic disease that is expressed in a symptom of symptoms by nourishing disorders in articular cartilage. Most often occur osteoarthritis of the spine, when changes occur in the disc and intervertence joints. Depending on the localization, cervical bones, chest and waist are distinguished. Osteochondrosis is also often found, in which all the spinal parts suffer. The pathology requires a doctor's consultation and an integrated approach for treatment.
RepresentationThe diseases of the spine, like other chronic diseases, are quickly becoming younger. If the pain is earlier in the back and the joints have bothered the elderly, today, the 18-30-year-old patient is increasingly treating doctors.
Scientists consider a person's direct condition as a prerequisite for the development of this disease, an osteoarthritis is also facilitated by a prolonged seating position. In addition, with age, articular cartilage loss of elasticity and elasticity, thinning; Intervertebral disks lose moisture and the ability to absorb shock, becomes vulnerable to exertion time.
ReasonCauses of cervical joint disease are in the load and they affect the cervix in different cases. Accordingly, the muscles in the neck began to drop sharply, thus compensating for this load, as a result of a contracting, as well as violating blood flow in this area.
Violating the scoliosis of the posture, the back, round back, kyphosis and other posture disorders, even if they are not significant, causing serious violations of the spine equilibrium. Therefore, the load on the Intervertebral disks are unevenly distributed, which causes deformation and increased wear and tear. The vertebrae began to get closer, causing violations of nerve processes, cervical joint disease developed quite quickly. Similar consequences have violated posture caused by changes in the natural position of the ribs.
The muscular spasms of the muscles in the back, breast, and press can lead to the fact that the individual parts of the body are very stressful. As a result, the general equilibrium position of the body is disturbed, causing a change in the position of the spine. Deformation can affect the area of the cervix or other parts of the spine column, causing osteoarthritis of the chest, cervix and waist parts.
Violation of blood supply, because the vertebrates do not have a direct connection to the circulatory system, they receive nutrition from surrounding tissues. Violating blood supply to the cervical spine leads to the fact that the disks do not receive enough liquids to compensate for water (restoring the form due to moisture absorption) and cartilage innovation. As a result, their wear and tear is accelerated, there is a decrease in the distance between the vertebrae of the cervix, leading to osteoarthritis.
Violating the conservation, reducing the sensitivity of the nerve root leads to pathological changes in their structure, due to the shift and deformation of the cervical vertebra of the cervix, the patient is not noticed. In the end, the pain is not due to sensitivity disorders.
The diseases of internal organs are the wrong position of the internal organs, their shift and lowering due to different functional disorders leading to violations of the overall balance state in the body. As a result, this deeply affects the location of the spine - cervix, lumbar vertebra is moved and deformed, leading to the corresponding bones and joints.
In general, the osteoarthritis of the cervical area develops due to the effects of external factors that violate the natural balance position of the spine and other systems of the human body.
DiagnoseDiagnosis of cervical bone disease begins with collecting all the necessary information about the patient. The expert asked about the complaints that bothered him, cared about his professional activities, as well as the way he spent the weekend. An important point is the presence of osteoarthritis in parents and grandparents, because this is a genetic disease.
After that, the doctor conducted a visual examination of the patient. He studied the cervical cavity and his back with the curvature of the posture, touching the cervix. This allows an expert to evaluate the level of disease development, because in advanced cases, the touch of the cervical area causes pain.
When checking, you should pay attention:
Regarding the severity of cervical lordosis;
The height of the shoulder in the patient;
The asymmetric ability of the Supraclock areas;
The asymmetric ability of the neck (for example, congenital congenital or muscle spasms);
The condition of the muscles of the shoulder beams and the above limbs (for example, muscle atrophy has one that can indicate the compression of the cervical spine);
The position of the chin - chin is normal should be placed along the middle line;
The movement of the neck (bent, tilted and rotated and rotated).
The touch is performed in the original position of the patient:
lying on your back;
lying on your stomach;
Sit on the chair.
Research on motion volume is also conducted. It is done in the original position of the patient sitting on the chair (to fix another spine).
Distinguishing the following basic movements in the cervix:
curved;
extension;
Right and left slope;
Circular.
About half of the number of bending and the expansion mass occur between the back of the head, the vertebrae of C1 and C2. The rest of the motion is performed due to the basic vertebrae, with a large scale of movements in the C5-C7 vertebrae. The side tilt is evenly distributed between all vertebrae.
To accurately perform the diagnosis, additional studies are stipulated:
X -Ray of the cervix. This method is suitable in the early stages of the disease, but it can be useless in advanced forms.
CT (calculated class cutting). Allows you to see structural changes in the vertebrae, but with the help of this method, it is impossible to determine the hernia size between the vertebrae.
MRI. It is considered the most effective method to diagnose cervical bone. You can determine the hernia size between the disks, as well as the level of their development.
The doctor may also prescribe scanning but allows you to identify normal blood circulation in the arteries.
TreatmentTreatment of cervical bone is a complex therapy that includes medication, gel, as well as different physical therapy measures. An important role is played by therapeutic gymnastics, as well as massage of the problem.
MedicineIt is impossible to eliminate the consequences of degenerative changes-Dystrophic in the spine without using the drug. The use of drugs in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the cervix is one of the main points of complex approach to healing, used by most traditional medical experts.
It is designed to solve a number of problems, including:
Stop symptoms of pain and eliminate inflammation;
eliminate muscle spasm;
stimulate the regeneration process of cartilage and bone tissue cells;
Enhance the body's protection properties, increase immunity;
Improve general condition by eliminating other symptoms to interfere with recovery.
Depending on these purposes, all drugs are prescribed by a doctor with cervical joint disease can be divided into the following groups:
Painkillers (drugs are not caused by analgesic).
Anti -inflammatory (steroids) are hormonal drugs that reduce inflammatory phenomena and therefore eliminate pain.
Chondroprotector is drugs that contain substances that replace the ingredients of cartilage tissue - chondroitin, hyaluronic acid.
Musorelaxants. These are medications that relax muscles. They are used in surgery and orthopedic as auxiliary measures to stop pain. Such drugs are used by parenthel, and therefore always under the supervision of the doctor.
Vitamin. With osteoarthritis of the cervix, vitamins are prescribed, beneficial to the peripheral nervous system and improve conductivity. Water -soluble vitamins: B1, B6, B12, -A, C, D, E. Vitamins in recent years, combined drugs contain both painkillers and vitamin components more often.
Ointment and gel for external use.
PhysiotherapyThe main goal of physical therapy is to stimulate the regeneration process in the body and eliminate pain. The most common methods in the treatment of cervical chondrosis are as follows:
Supersonic. Physics with ultrasonic waves are used to reduce serious pain manifestations and inflammatory reactions. Ultrasound is the neck massage, then the metabolism is activated.
Vibrating massage. The impact on the painful area during the vibrating massage is through mechanical movements. For the appropriate behavior of this physical therapy, a strip vibrator is often used.
Electricity. The method of conducting physical therapy for cervical joint disease is performed by using flow and modulation, as well as the electric field when the body is used in the tissues of the drug. Electricity completely reduces spasms and eliminates pain in inflamed muscles.
Magnet therapy. The essence of chemotherapy is the physical chemical in the osteoarthritis of the cervix area explained by the use of variations or variations of fields with magnets and frequencies of different sizes. This method can help patients eliminate pain and prevent inflammation in the fireplace. The procedure is usually done at home after obtaining a special magnetic device.
Dutoenzor-data. Currently, a fairly common physical therapy method, including extending the spine under the mass of the patient's body. To carry out such a procedure, a mattress is arranged in a special way, with the tilt of the ribs and they change the position below the weight of their bodies. The muscles are normalized, leading to their relaxation.
Laser therapy. Laser has a complicated effect on the center of inflammation, which activates biological processes in the tissues of the nervous system. This allows you to get a positive effect from treatment. A complex effect for the body includes anti -inflammatory, analgesic and wound healing effects. A laser treatment process must not exceed 15 minutes. This is the optimal time for contacting the Helic-Neon laser industry on the affected areas. In this case, the laser time on a pain must not exceed 2 minutes.
Balne therapy. The benefits of mineral water have been known for a long time, this is what Balne is based on. The procedure implies the use of positive water resources in the treatment of osteoarthritis. In addition to applying the bathroom, different types of souls and actively swimming in the pool, therapy related to the use of applications of sludge for painful areas of the body. The effectiveness achieved by simultaneous effects of chemical activity in water under different temperature conditions. This technique allows you to prevent pain syndrome by improving local microcirculation in tissues.
Exercise therapyRemember that exercise is not done when serious signs begin: Pain. After the LFK complex, they can strengthen and cause inconvenience.
There are some common recommendations to charge:
Physical education should take place indoors with good ventilation, a great choice on the street.
Classes are only performed during the disease (when there are no symptoms).
Clothes in exercise therapy are thought to be wide, not movement and breathing.
All movements are smooth, the amplitude and the number of repetitions increase gradually.
If the pain starts, you should immediately stop the lesson.
Before classes and end pressure measurements and pulse. When these indicators are different from normal, the load should be reduced.
Listening to your breathing throughout the lesson, this will increase effectiveness. All prolonged exercises are done when exhaled.
It is very important to increase the load and the number of repetitions, which will reduce the risk of injury and prevent excessively.
The exercises are important to do regularly, so you can achieve quick results.
Before starting independent classes, you need to consult your doctor and agree with him a set of exercises.
Exercises proposed in the position starting on the stomach:
The head is at the end of the forehead, hands on the head, elbows parallel to the floor. Lift your head by hand from the floor, hold this position to 4 accounts, lower and relax. Repeat 2-4 times.
The head is in the chin, palms under the chin. Time during time, stretching your arms forward, two - dangling on both sides, Ba - extended forward, four - the position begins. Repeat 2-4 times.
The hand is wide open. Swimming rabbit style, repeated 4-8 times.
The palm under the chin, emphasizing the palm of your hand. Take turns, remove the heel. Repeat 4-8 times.
Exercises proposed at the starting position on the side (right, then on the left):
The right hand is expanded, the right ear is on it, lifting the right hand with your head, holding the position to 4 accounts, lower and relaxing. Repeat 2-4 times.
The left hand lies on the floor in front of the chest and left leg, causing the fly to move back and forth. Repeat 6-8 times.
The left hand along the body, raise the left hand up and out, lower, lower. Repeat 2-4 times.
The left hand on the thigh. Pull both knees to your chest when you exhale, straighten your legs. Repeat the exercise 2-4 times.
