Osteochondrosis neck spine

Cervical osteochondrosis are some of the changes in distribution in intervertebral discs in the neck.

Not only the disc itself, but also vertebra, soft cloth and cartilage exposed to negative effects.The main feature of the cervical area is the fact that the vertebles do not have the most reliable structure compared to other departments, which makes this area very vulnerable.The vertebra here is located around each other, as well as for arteries powered by the human brain.

If the vertebral displacement occurs, the probability of squeezing nerve beams and high arteries, which will definitely occur in the occurrence of hernias between vertebrae and bulge, namely changes in the backbone disk structure.

What's that?

Osteochondrosis of the neck spine (osteohondroz) is a degenerative-distribution-distribution lesion of intervertebral discs, which damage the wheels, vertebrae and joint cervical areas, decreased height of intervertebral discs observed.This disease develops if not treated, and can cause headaches, circulatory disorders and even hernias.Like osteoporosis, this disease occurs due to violations of mineral metabolism, as a result the bones and joints become less durable.

Osteochondrosis can cause instability in the cervical spine (symptoms and treatment similar to a chondrosis, but has a number of features), which is often accompanied by vertebral displacement.In turn, this accelerates the development of osteochondrosis, destroying vertebrates.

Stage

The doctor present must determine the level of development of cervical osteochondrosis, based on history, and patient examination.There are only four degrees:

1. First degree.This disease is in the bottom of it itself, the patient has a little pain in the neck, which can be more intense if someone starts to turn his head.
2. Second degree.Patients can complain about very intense pain in the cervical area, which can be localized in the upper leg.Clinical features indicate that at the stage of development of this disease there are nerve beam clamps, which cause severe pain.Headaches, weaknesses, and general malaise are also recorded.
3. Third degree.The pain becomes almost endless, also giving to the shoulder or arm.In some patients, intervertebral discs hernias are diagnosed, which causes loss of upper extremity sensitivity.When examining doctors, the real decrease in the mobility of the neck spine is observed, as well as pain in palpation.
4. Fourth degree.At the stage of this disease, intervertebral discs are almost completely destroyed.Instead, connective tissue appears, which causes damage to the patient's condition.He began to feel pain, noise on his head, and bad orientation in space.This shows that the arteries are pinched, which interferes with the natural nutrition of the brain.

Symptoms of osteochondrosis of the neck bone

Important symptoms of neck spine osteochondrosis are dizziness, headaches, and blood pressure.

The diagnosis of this disease is difficult, pain is sometimes not manifested, and the symptoms are removed in nature, in addition, the use of strong analgesics that are uncontrolled cover the signs of the disease.A patient who does not feel pain considers himself healthy, and continues until the development of processes that cannot be changed in the neck joint tissue.

Headache for cervical osteochondrosis

This is one of the non -specific signs of many human diseases.Headaches are very widespread in the female population.It may be difficult to determine the cause of headaches, and, especially, connecting it with spinal lesions.About 14 causes of headaches in humans are detected.

The most common causes of headaches in the pathology that we explain:

1. Brain spasms;
2. Nerve root clamps;
3. Increased reflexes in intracranial pressure.

Headaches for cervical osteochondrosis can resemble sensations with arterial hypertension, angina pectoris or stroke.In addition, in middle and older people, as a rule, there is a risk of developing sweep or heart attacks.

The pain can be paroxysmal, constant, throbbing and stupid.

With heart pathology, patients complain of unpleasant sensations in the chest area, accompanied by heart activity disorders.Only doctors meet the requirements that can determine the cause.If a headache occurs, combined with nausea, dizziness and pain that contains, the ECG must be done.

Dizziness for cervical osteochondrosis

This condition does not always clearly indicate osteochondrosis of the neck spine.

Dizzy may be a consequence:

1. Inflammation in the middle or deep ear;
2. Brain spasms;
3. Violations of nerve impulses transmission;
4. Problems with vestibular equipment;
5. Cardiovascular system disease.

There are no clear criteria for dizzy for osteochondrosis.However, there are systemic and non -systemic dizzy, they have clear differences.

It is recommended to determine the difference between systemic and non -systemic dizziness, this will help to independently determine the causes of unusual conditions:

1. Systemic use is a circular sense of movement of the surrounding object or body, which is a consequence of violations of vestibular, visual analyzing and receptors in the joints, muscles and epidermis (osteochondrosis of various etiology);
2. Non -playing dizzy is a feeling of sensor, deafening, uncertain circumstances in an upright position.With an un systematic dizziness, there is no circular rotation sensation, and this is an important difference between signs compared.

Someone who feels dizzy from one of the specified types must be examined by an experienced doctor, first -first, neuropathologist or (if there is suspicion of ear disease and nasopharynx).

The reason for emergency inpatients that is not associated with neck spine osteochondrosis is to detect features as in patients (except dizziness) as:

1. Paralysis of facial muscles and numbness of the shoulder corset;
2. Strong headaches against the background of damage to welfare;
3. Violation of the coordination of the movement;
4. Loss or extinction of consciousness.

Blood pressure with cervical osteochondrosis

Cervical osteochondrosis connection with a long -specified blood pressure jump.Cervical vertebrae has important nerve endings and blood vessels.

The surge in pressure is a characteristic during the day.Hypertension for a long time is not the characteristics of this disease.Irritation of nerve endings and short -term cramps of blood vessels causes the dynamics of daily arterial hypertension.

The typical feature of increased pressure on cervical osteochondrosis is a combination with the following symptoms:

• Headache;
• Pain in the limbs and chest;
• Decreased sensitivity in the collar area;
• The occurrence of jumping pressure after stress, muscle tension, long -term stay in an uncomfortable position and other similar situations.

These signs must be taken into account with independent differentiation of hypertension of various genesis.

The sharp jump of blood pressure and rapid damage in welfare -become the basis for seeking emergency medical assistance.

Osteochondrosis syndrome

The clinical picture of cervical osteochondrosis is placed in several syndromes.Syndrome are some of the symptoms that occur together.

Osteochondrosis consists of the following syndrome:

1. Vertebral.This is also called vertebra, which shows that cartilage bones and tissue are involved in the pathological process.This leads to the formation of such symptoms: Limitation of neck motor activity, pain in turn, radiological changes in the neck spine image.This is a simultaneous appearance of these signs which is a vertebral syndrome.A series of similar clinical signs observed with myositis (muscle tissue pathology), and painful movements of many other pathologies.
2. Vertebral artery syndrome.It seems that when the vascular beam is involved in the process, which is responsible for blood supply to the central nervous system tissue.Symptoms indicate that brain tissue has stopped receiving the right amount of nutrition.How to recognize this syndrome?The first signs are dizziness, noise in the ear, differences in blood pressure, appearance of "veil" in front of the eye.This shows that one of the vertebrates is in a strangle state.Every ship has its own nerve endings.If you squeeze those who insist the vertebral arteries, migraine, numbness, short -term decreased in vision on one side appear.As a result, changes in the ship cause the fact that the brain needs oxygen.At this time, a person feels drowsiness, short -term violations of consciousness, loss of attention and control, work worse and remember information.With such a clinical picture, it is necessary to distinguish cervical osteochondrosis from vertebral arterial atherosclerosis, and squeeze tumors or inflammation.
3. Cardial syndrome.This is manifested by burning in the chest area, the appearance of shortness of breath.Someone feels his heartbeat often, being tired and easily offended.This picture is also a cardiological pathological characteristic, for example, for angina pectoris, coronary syndrome, heart attack.The right conclusion about the cause of these symptoms can be done after the patient passes through the ECG.
4. Rook syndrome.The cervical department innervates 8 pairs of nerves, each of which has the root of the nerve out of the vertebra.When they are involved in osteochondrosis, patients feel a decrease in sensitivity or vice versa severe pain.There may be numbness for what pain, decreased sensitivity of the tongue, frozen area, pain in the Supraklin area can be observed.Sometimes there are swallowing disorders, movements in the upper limb belt, numbness of the fingers.

First aid at home with osteochondrosis exacerbation

With severe pain syndrome, painkillers can be used, such as analgin, tempalgin or baralgin.If the drugs above do not bring help, you can take NSAID (nise or diclofenac).

Often, "disturbing" means used, for example, pepper patches that do not heal, but only hear inflamed areas and distract from pain.In the case of edema in the inflammatory zone, patients can drink ingredients or diuretics for 3-4 days.Is it possible to cure osteochondrosis with such a method?These steps are only temporary;For treatment causing, you should consult a doctor.

It should be noted which doctor treats osteochondrosis.If suspicion arises that the cause of pain in the neck spine is the occurrence of osteochondrosis, you must switch to neurologists.This specialist is involved in this kind of disease.In some medical institutions there are specialists who shine narrowly involved in the right spinal disease.If your clinic has a vertebological, you must answer the question about how to cure this disease, immediately for that.

How to treat osteochondrosis of the neck spine?

In the early stages of development, osteochondrosis can be cured without drugs, it is enough to revise the diet, daily regimen, and regularly do special exercises that are complex.With a form of advanced disease, effective treatment is only possible if the use of various drugs that help suspend degenerative changes in the vertebra.

The therapeutic measures include physiotherapy - electrophoresis with drugs, ultrasonic, magnetotherapy, laser therapy.These methods help overcome pain, inflammation, swelling of the tissue, improve the process of metabolism and blood circulation.

Drug care

The main method of treating cervical spine osteochondrosis is drug treatment, physiotherapy, cervical zone massage, therapeutic exercises for cervical osteochondrosis are very effective.The main drug groups used for this disease include:

Name	Principle of action
Nonsteroidal Anti -Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs).These are Voltaren, Nise, Movalis, Ketonal, Ketanov, Diclofenac, Nimesulide and Others	Reduce pain syndrome, helping to relieve inflammation of aseptic and damaged nerve root edema.
Drugs that enhance the nature of blood rhythm and blood flow.This is eufillin, TRALAN.	Increase the nutrition of damaged nerve roots and increase blood flow to the brain.
Vitamins from group V. are Kombilipen, Unigma, Milgamma, Neurobion.	Improve metabolic processes in nerve tissue.
Musorelaxants.These are midocalm, sirdalud, tizalud, tizanidine, etc.	This is a drug that alleviates muscle spasms.
Chubicroprotector.This (glucosamine and chondroitin) are Arthra, Theflex, Doppelgerz, Zhabius Stone, Condronov, Structure, Alflutop.	These are drugs that restore cartilage tissue, including in damaged intervertebral disk.

When receiving tablets from osteochondrosis, it must be remembered that the significant effect of drug care with tablets will only occur if combined with other methods, including exercise.It should also be noted that the doctor who is present must prescribe rather than treating the disease based on other stages and signs.
