Osteochondrosis is a pathological process leading to the first disorder and structural disorders in the discs, and then in the vertebrae, spinal nerves, muscle, blood vessels and internal organs nearby.
He can hit all parts of the spine - cervix, chest, waist and sacral.Osteochondrosis cervical is a very common phenomenon, and in frequency, it is only inferior to lumbar osteoarthritis.
Osteochondrosis in the cervix area conducts the stadium.Like any other pathology, not treated promptly, it progresses.Changes in function and structure in bone tissue and cartilage are becoming more and more pronounced, leading to complex diseases with sensitivity and limitations of motion.
Stage and qualifications
In total, 4 stages (degrees) of osteoarthritis of the cervix are distinguished.At the same time, the concepts of the level of Muslims and the Viking period are often very confused.Although they mean the same thing, they are not exactly the same.The stage of displaying structural disorders in the cervical spine, in nearby organs and tissues.And by level means symptoms of osteoarthritis and patient complaints.For osteoarthritis of the cervix, clinical signs of level 1 are minimal, but may not be completely.The patient complained about the pain in the neck (cervix), strengthening when turning.When checking, the local stress of the cervical muscles is recorded.
Osteochondrosis of the cervical area of level 2 comes with Discogen radiation.As a result of the subsequent degenerative changes in the nucleus and fiber of the disc, the height of the distance between the neck vertebra decreases.As a result, the roots of the cervical spinal nerves are violated.Patients worry about pain, enhance with turns and tilt their heads.Pain syndrome may be beyond the cervical area and accompanied with general weakness, reducing performance.
As a result of the pathological processes, leading to the movement and destruction of the discs and hernias formed in the cervix.The pain and feeling of weakness, sensitivity and movement disorders in the area of the segment are affected by them.Osteochondrosis of the cervical area of level 3 is growing.
In the future, with the osteoarthritis of the cervix, the 4th level of the discrained disc is replaced by a fiber connective tissue.Due to the participation of vertebral arteries in the pain of pain with sensitive disorders and movement, brain disorders related, the coordination of weakness and the feeling of ringing into the ear.
Reason
Before talking about the causes, or the cause of the cervical joint disease, some of the anatomical and physiological characteristics of this spine should be clarified.
These features are as follows:
- The neck is a portable structure, while it is adjacent to the chest spine relatively static.
- The neck vertebra 7 and segment 8. The excess segment of the Viking people appears by Atlantois -treaty.
- The neck vertebrae have different structures in terms of surgery, especially searched on the example of the first two neck vertebrae, Atlanta and axis.
- Important communications over the neck - trachea, esophagus, large ships, including vertebral artery providing brain.
The cause factors that lead to pathological changes in the cervical area with the next transition to the cervical joint disease of level 2, are as follows:
- Sedentary lifestyle;
- Unreasonable nutrition with a shortage of trace and vitamins;
- Continuous violations of postures from students, office workers;
- Regular heat lowering, adverse microclimate of the house and in production;
- Endocrine disorders;
- Weak immunity;
- Hereditary.
Symptom
Symptoms of osteoarthritis of the cervical area of level 2, in addition to pain, including the tension of the cervix and spine.The pain in the neck (cervix) with a certain extent of the joints may be the point or falling, spread out to the neck to other anatomical areas - the belt belt and shoulder.Due to the shortening of the gaps, muscles and ligaments sag.The action of the weakened mechanical frame is formed by the uplifting of the cervix, due to the result of the disk changing in one direction or another.At the same time, the pain may be sharp and strong, according to the type of shutter (cervix) after turning or expanding the neck.
In addition to pain, as pointed out, the tension of the cervical and spine is recorded.Due to the fact that the neck vertebra is not moved from the back, but aside, such a tension is often not symmetrical in the wild and leads to weakness.In return, the posture is weakened, leading to further decline in metabolic processes in the cervical area.All conditions are created to convert osteoarthritis into the third stage.
In 2 stages of the cervical bone, the vertebra artery has not been affected.However, at this stage, in addition to pain and muscle tension, the patient complained about the feeling of weakness, fatigue quickly and depressed.Sleep disorders may be due to pain.
Treatment types
Treatment of osteoarthritis of the cervical area at level 2 includes:
- Medicine,
- Physiotherapy procedures,
- Gymnastics for therapy,
- Massage,
- Craft therapy.
Drug treatmentIt aims to eliminate cervix, inflammation in the root of cervical segments and normalize metabolic processes in cervical disks.Anesthesia is achieved by taking oral pain.But this is the most effective way to eliminate pain.In this regard, intramuscular injection is more effective.With severe pain, you can wear special Chantsa collar.
AnesthesiaIt can be achieved by eliminating inflammation in the cervical root.In this regard, anti -inflammatory drugs (NSAID) are not used in different forms of drugs, ointments, injection and compression.In this regard, injection, ointment is very effective.A good anti -inflammatory effect is given by hormone steroids.
To restore the affected cartilage, it is advisable to receive chondroprotors.With the same purpose, the use of vitamin mineral complexes containing vitamins containing vitamins of B, C, E, along with zinc, calcium iron is displayed.Although the brain disorders in the second stage of the cervical bone does not occur, the use of nerve control substances will not be redundant.
Physiotherapy proceduresWith cervical joint disease, any level is designed to relieve pain and inflammation, improving local blood flow.To this end, phonemic therapy, laser and magnetic resonance, ultrasound treatment is used.Physiotherapy procedures are contraindicated by the serious period of osteoarthritis.
MassageWith osteoarthritis, it is also done in a row period.Massage procedures are performed in the position of the patient sitting or lying next to.At the same time, the massage therapist with smooth movements from the back of the head to the neck kneeling, stroke and stressful muscle rubbing.Then, the muscles of the back, neck, chest are massaged.In this case, the Kuznetsov application may be used.It is a needle roller with plastic spines.It is enough to place this roll around the neck for half an hour per day - an hour, and the result will not be long.
Medical physical educationIt is designed to strengthen the effects of bone treatments on the neck.At the same time, the optimal load on different muscle groups is created, resulting in muscle enhancement and eliminating spine.Craft therapy for osteoarthritis of the neck should be done very carefully.Due to the risk of high cervical spine trauma, it is related to high risk not only for health but also for patients' lives.
Prevention measures
Preventing cervical joint disease is designed to eliminate the cause of this disease and prevent the transformation of phase 2 of 3.
In this regard, the following requirements should be observed:
- Dynamic lifestyle;
- Adequate nutrition;
- Normal conditions in daily life and production, excluding draft and body temperature;
- The posture is appropriate for the work and the "sedentary" research and research;
- Hard, sports;
- Treatment of chronic diseases simultaneously;
- At the first signs of Osteochondrosis - a timely visit to the doctor.
