Cervical fibroids is a degenerative-dystrophic disease caused by proliferation of bone tissue on both sides of the vertebra, causing injury to muscles, ligaments, nerves, and membranes. neighboring spinal cord. These disorders often lead to neck pain or other parts of the body, and can also cause a herniated disc bulge.
The appearance of necrosis of the cervical spine can be attributed to a prolonged static position, as well as to repeated head movements of the same type.

Cause of what happened
Osteochondrosis of the cervical spine occurs due to destructive changes in the cartilage tissue. This process can be due to a number of reasons:
- genetic predisposition for this disease;
- overweight;
- spinal injuries (fractures, bruises);
- intoxication, infection, metabolic disorder in the body;
- deficiency of vitamins, trace elements and body fluids;
- sedentary lifestyle;
- curvature of the spine, incorrect posture;
- flat feet;
- instability of segments of the spine;
- hypothermia;
- work that involves changing body position frequently, carrying heavy loads, exertion;
- tension, nervous tension.
Symptoms
Symptoms of ankle osteonecrosis depend directly on the target. In this regard, a group of syndromes associated with this disease is distinguished.
Lenticular
Lenticular syndrome occurs when nerve roots are pinched in the area of the cervix (a pinched nerve). It is also known as cervical gland inflammation. The pain occurs in the lower neck and can go down the collarbone and even to the outer part of the forearm to the fingers. Among the symptoms of cervical bone tumors, in some cases, there is a tingling sensation in the forearms, hands or fingers, nausea, a feeling of goosebumps.
Irritating reflex
In the case of reflex-reflex syndrome, symptoms of cervical vertebrae may include acute burning pain in the neck or occipital, which occurs when moving after a stationary state (sharp turns, when sneezing, after sleeping). The pain can spread to the shoulders and chest.
Cardiology
Symptoms of cervical osteonecrosis in this syndrome largely coincide with those of angina. In this case, it is very important not to make a mistake in the diagnosis. With heart syndrome, the nature of the pain is paroxysmal and prolonged (up to several hours). Increased pain occurs when there are sudden movements due to coughing, sneezing and a sharp turn of the head. Often the appearance of tachycardia and extrasystole on the background of complete absence of signs of circulatory disturbances.
Spinal artery syndrome
In this case, cervical bone necrosis is accompanied by symptoms such as throbbing pain or headache, which most often are the epigastric, occipital, temporal, darkened region. Pain is, as a rule, practically non-stop, and only in some cases, of a paroxysmal nature. Pain increases with movement or after being in an uncomfortable position for a long time.
Possible impaired hearing and vision (impaired hearing and vision, tinnitus, vestibular disorder, eye pain). Against the background of general weakness of the body, nausea or loss of consciousness may occur.
Summarizing the above, we can distinguish some of the most characteristic symptoms of cervical fibroids:
- .
- pain in hands, forearms, shoulders, gets worse even under light load;
- weakens muscle strength and reduces the sensitivity of the hands, hands, and fingers, as well as difficulty in movement;
- neck pain when turning and tilting the head;
- neck tension, feeling of lying back in the morning;
- burning, numbness, or tingling in your legs or arms;
- large-scale headache with primary focal area of occipital;
- dark eyesight, tinnitus, numbness of the tongue, dizziness, violent head turn - fainting,
- decreased vision and hearing;
- proliferation of connective tissue in the cervical spine;
- pain in the heart area.
Home treatment for cervical tumors
The effectiveness of cervical necrosis of necrosis depends on the timeliness of the onset of treatment to reduce pain and neutralize inflammatory processes. The treatment is carried out in three phases:
- neutralizes pain;
- activates blood supply and metabolism in the affected areas of the spine;
- physical therapy and manual techniques.
During the onset of degenerative cervical vertebrae with severe pain, in order to stop pain syndrome and relieve spinal motor tension, the patient is prescribed:
- blockade of paravertebral with topical administration;
- nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics and antispasmodics;
- ointments and gels.
To improve blood circulation in the spine, patients with cervical necrosis are prescribed drugs to improve blood microcirculation, vitamin complex, and nicotinic acid.
Pain relievers are only able to relieve symptoms, not counteract deterioration. Correctly selected regular activity and exercise therapy complex is the only correct decision at any stage of the disease.
Gymnastics
Exercise therapy for cervical bone tumors is performed only during remission, avoiding considerable effort and pain.
A set of exercises to improve the motor ability of the cervical vertebrae, as well as the flexibility of the neck muscles.
Repeat each exercise 5 to 10 times.
- Exercise 1. In a sitting or standing position, the arms are lowered along the body and the back is flat, turning your head smoothly to the left and right, keeping your chin over your shoulder.
- Exercise 2. Same starting position. Head tilted downward until chin touched chest groove. The muscles behind the neck need to be as relaxed as possible. The head can be lowered with the movements of the spring.
- Exercise 3. Same starting position. The neck pulls in, the chin pulls in and the head straight.
When the exacerbation of osteoporosis of the cervical spine subsides and as recommended by the attending physician, a manual course of treatment is carried out, including massaging the affected areas.
Massage for osteoporosis
Before starting the massage procedure, prepare the patient's back by petting the surface intensively for 2-3 minutes. The direction of the stroke is from the lower edge of the shoulder blade up to the neck, then from the neck to the shoulder blade. The last moment of warm-up is to knead and shake alternately on the right and left sides.
Massage is initiated, as a rule, from behind, continuously alternating swiping, squeezing and kneading. First, the shoulder blades are massaged, gradually moving to the shoulder blade area. Neck massage starts from the scalp, down the back. In the absence of pain in the spine, squeezing with the fingertips is done very carefully in many ways.
Massages to the main chest muscles are done in a supine position. In this case, swiping, squeezing, and kneading are used.
Sitting massage is done on a special massage chair. At the same time, the head is tilted forward, and the neck muscles are as relaxed as possible. Massage starts from the occipital bone, directing all movement down the back.
