Linkrosis of cervical spine

Osteochondrosis cervical is some of the dysplasia changes in the Intervertebral disc in the neck.

Not only the disks, but also the vertebrae, soft fabrics and cartilage are exposed to negative effects.The main feature of the cervix is the fact that its vertebra does not have the most reliable structure compared to other parts, which makes this area very vulnerable.The vertebrae here are located in the surrounding areas, as well as with arteries provided by the human brain.

If the vertebra moves, the probability of tightening the beams of nerves and arteries will certainly come to the appearance of hernia between the vertebra and protruding, ie changing the structure of the spinal disc.

What is it?

Osteochondrosis of the cervical spine (Osteohondroz) is a degenerative lesions-Dystrophic of intervertebral discs, damaging wheels, vertebrae and joints of the cervix, the decline at the height of the observed discs.The disease progresses if it is not treated, and can lead to headaches, circulatory disorders and even hernia.Like osteoporosis, the disease occurs due to a violation of mineral metabolism, so bones and joints become less durable.

Osteochondrosis can cause the instability of the cervical spine (symptoms and treatments similar to the chondrosis, but there are some characteristics), often accompanied by the movement of the vertebra.In return, this accelerates the growth of osteoarthritis, destroys vertebrates.

Stage

The attendant must determine the degree of development of cervical bone disease, based on an Anamnesis, as well as check the patient.Only four degrees:

1. The first level.The disease lies in rudimentary, patients with mild pain in the neck, maybe more intense if a person starts to turn around.
2. The second level.Patients may complain about very intense pain in the cervix, which can be located in the above limbs.The clinical picture shows that in the development stage of the disease, there is a bust of nerve beams, causing severe pain.Headache, weakness and instability are generally recorded.
3. The third level.The pain becomes almost non -stop, also for shoulders or arms.In some patients, a herniated disc is diagnosed, resulting in the loss of the sensitivity of the above limbs.When checking a doctor, the decrease is noticeable in the mobility of the cervical spine observed, as well as pain when touching.
4. The fourth level.At this stage of this disease, the Intervertebral disc is almost completely destroyed.In its position, the connective tissue appears, resulting in a decline in the patient's condition.He began to feel pain, noisy in his head, as well as poor orientation in space.This shows that the artery is pinched, obstructing the natural nutrition of the brain.

Symptoms of vital osteoarthritis

The important symptoms of osteoarthritis of the cervical spine are dizzy, headache and blood pressure.

Diagnosis is difficult, pain is sometimes not manifested and symptoms are erased in nature, in addition, the use of uncontrolled use of painkillers strongly signs of the disease.A patient does not feel pain, and thus continues until the development of the inducing processes cannot be reversed in the tissues of the neck joints.

Headache due to cervical joint disease

This is one of the most common signs of many diseases in humans.Headache is especially common in female population.It may be difficult to determine the cause of headache, and especially connect it to the lesions of the spine.About 14 causes of different headaches in humans were discovered.

The most common causes of headache in the pathology we have described:

1. Brain contractions;
2. Pinching nerve roots;
3. Reflective increased intracranial pressure.

Headache for cervical joint disease may be similar to the feeling of arterial hypertension, angina or stroke.Moreover, in middle -aged and the elderly, as a rule, there are risks of developing stroke or heart attack.

It feels like the pain may be paroxysmal, constant, pulse and dumb.

For heart diseases, patients complain about uncomfortable feelings in the chest area, accompanied by the rhythm of the heart activity.Only one eligible doctor can determine the cause.In the case of headache, combined with nausea, dizziness and pain, an ECG must be done.

Dizziness for cervical joint disease

This condition does not always clearly indicate the osteoarthritis of the cervical spine.

Dizziness may be a consequence:

1. Inflammation in the middle or inner ear;
2. Brain contractions;
3. Violation of nerve impulses;
4. Problems with the vestibular apparatus;
5. The disease of the cardiovascular system.

There is no clear criterion for dizziness for osteoarthritis.However, there is a dizziness and systematic system, they have a clear difference.

It is necessary to know the difference of dizziness in the system and non -systematic, which will help independently identify the cause of the abnormal state:

1. Systematic dizziness is a circular movement of objects or surrounding body, which is the result of violations of the vestibular apparatus, visual and receptor analyzer in the joints, muscles and epidermis (joints of different causes);
2. No dizziness is not a sense of censorship, the feeling of deafness, an uncertain state in a vertical position.With non -systematic dizziness, there is no sense of rotation, and this is an important difference between comparative signs.

A person who feels dizzy of one of the specified types should be tested by an experienced doctor, first of all, a neuroscientist or (if there is a doubt about ear disease and ear, nose and throat doctor.

The reason for emergency hospitalization is not related to cervical joint disease is to detect such characteristics in patients (except dizziness) such as:

1. Paralysis of facial muscles and partial numbness of the shoulder ring;
2. Strong headache in the context of a decline in wells;
3. Violating the coordination of movements;
4. Loss or extinction of consciousness.

Blood pressure with cervical joint disease

The connection of cervical joints to the dance moves in blood pressure has been established for a long time.The neck vertebrae have important nerve ends and blood vessels.

The increase in pressure is a characteristic of the day.Hypertension for a long time is not a characteristic of this disease.Stimulating the reflection of nerve ends and short -term rules of blood vessels causing daily daily hypertension.

A special feature of increased pressure in the cervical bone is a combination with the following symptoms:

• Headache;
• Pain in limbs and chest;
• Reduce sensitivity in the collar area;
• The appearance of jumping pressure after stress, muscle tension, staying in an uncomfortable position and other similar situations.

These signs should be taken into account the difference of independence of hypertension of many different genesis.

The strong dance of blood pressure and rapid decline in well is the basis for seeking emergency medical assistance.

Joint syndrome

The clinical picture of cervical joint disease is placed in some syndrome.The syndrome is some symptoms that occur together.

Osteochondrosis includes the following syndrome:

1. Vertebra.It is also called vertebrae, indicating that cartilage bones and cartilage tissue are associated with pathological processes.This leads to the formation of such symptoms: limiting the movement of the neck, aches and pains in its turn, changing X -ray in the image of the cervical spine.It is the simultaneous appearance of these signs as a vertebrae syndrome.A collection of similar clinical signs is observed with muscle inflammation (muscle tissue disease) and painful movement of many other diseases.
2. Vertebral artery syndrome.It appears when blood vessels are related to this process, responsible for supplying blood to the tissues of the central nervous system.Symptoms show that brain tissue has stopped receiving an appropriate amount of nutrients.How to identify this syndrome?The first signs are dizzy, the noisy feeling in the ears, the difference in blood pressure, the appearance of a curtain shading in front of the eyes.This shows that one of the vertebrates is in a state of being strangled.Each train has its own nerve ending.If you tighten people who are vivid vertebral arteries, migraine, numbness, and vision loss in one hand.Therefore, the changes in the ship leads to the fact that the brain needs oxygen.At this time, a person feels sleepy, violates short -term consciousness, loss of attention and control, work worse and remember information.With such a clinical picture, it is necessary to distinguish the cervical bone from atherosclerosis of the vertebrae, and squeeze the tumor or inflammation.
3. Heart syndrome.It is manifested by burning in the chest area, the appearance of the breath.A person who feels his regular heartbeat, becomes tired and irritable.This photo is also characteristic of cardiovascular disease, for example, for angina, coronary syndrome, heart attack.The exact conclusion of the causes of such symptoms can be done after the patient passes ECG.
4. Rook syndrome.The cervical part is not related to 8 pairs of nerves, each pair has the roots of the nerve drainage line from the vertebra.When they are related to osteoarthritis, patients feel sensitive or vice versa.There may be paralysis even though it aches, reducing the sensitivity of the tongue, the freezing area, the pain in the SupracLinking area can be observed.Sometimes there are disorders of swallowing, moving in the belt of the upper limb, numbness of the finger.

First aid at home with the seriousness of osteoarthritis

With severe pain syndrome, painkillers can be used, such as consequences, tempalgin or baralgin.If the above drugs do not bring relief, you can use NSAID (Nise or Diclofenac).

Typically, the means of distraction of the Viking people are used, for example, a pepper patch does not heal, but only hears an area of inflammation and distraction because of pain.In case of inflammatory area, patients can take infusion or diuretics for 3-4 days.Can cure osteoarthritis by such methods?These measures are only temporary;To treat the cause, you must consult a doctor.

It should be noted that the doctor treats osteoarthritis.If the suspicion arises that the cause of pain in the cervical spine is the appearance of osteoarthritis, you should switch to a nerve doctor.It is this expert who is participating in diseases of this type.In some health organizations, there are narrow experts related to accurate spinal diseases.If your clinic has a vertebrae, you should solve the question of how to treat this disease, immediately with it.

How to treat osteoarthritis of the cervical spine?

In the initial development stage, Osteochondrosis can be cured without drugs, it is enough to modify diet, daily diet and regularly perform a special exercise.With advanced forms of the disease, effective treatment is only possible if the use of different drugs helps suspend changing degeneration in the vertebra.

The complexes of treatment measures must include physiotherapy - electrophoresis with drugs, ultrasound, from chemotherapy, laser therapy.These methods help deal with pain, inflammation, swelling, improve metabolism and blood circulation.

Drug treatment

The main methods for the treatment of cervical joints are drugs, physiotherapy, massage of the cervix area, gymnastics for cervical joint disease especially effective.The main drug groups used for this disease include:

Name	Action principle
Non -steroid anti -inflammatory drugs (NSAID).This is Voltaren, Nise, Movalis, Ketonal, Ketanov, Diclofenac, Nimesulide and others	Reducing pain syndrome, helping to reduce sterile and edema of the root of the nerve damaged.
The drug improves blood flow properties and blood flow.This is Eufillin, Trental.	Improve the nutrition of nerve roots damaged and improve blood flow to the brain.
Vitamins of V. group are Kombilipen, Unigma, Milgamma, Neurobion.	Improve metabolic processes in nerve tissue.
Musorelaxants.This is Midokalm, Sirdalud, Tizalud, Tizanidine, etc.	These are medications that reduce muscle spasms.
Chondroprotector.This (Glucosamine and Chondroitin) are Arthra, Theflex, Doppelgerz, Zhabius Stone, Condronov, Structure, Alflutop.	These are cartilage tissue recovery drugs, including in the damaged intervertebral plate.

When accepting tablets from Osteochondrosis, it should be remembered that the significant effect of drug treatment with tablet will only be if it is combined with other methods, including exercises.It should also be noted that the doctor must be prescribed rather than treating the disease on the basis of the stage and other signs.
