The head usually hurts, dizziness - we think it's migraine or "weather".Stolen in the heart?miner.Sting or numbness in your hands - you need to sit less on your computer and move more.However, at first glance, no relevant symptoms of these causes may be your spine.Rather, its highest part is the cervix.
Neck.What do we know?
The cervical spine is the most moving, fragile part of the spine, which allows you to perform head tilts and turns.It consists of 7 vertebrae, which have elastic intervertebral discs.They "nourish" the blood vessels that provide oxygen through the brain.The nerve ends associated with the spinal cord (the interior of the spine) provide impulses and signals to other organs in the body.As a result, the body works harmoniously.If vertebrates deform due to metabolic diseases, they squeeze the nerve ends or blood vessels, and people will feel pain.It is pain that is the main symptom of diseases such as cervical osteochondrosis.
It is more dangerous than cervical osteochondrosis
- Osteochondrosis in the cervical area is considered one of the most insidious diseases.Because the cervical spine is very close to each other and has deformed at all, the nerve roots and blood vessels are squeezed.The blood supply in the brain is disturbed.Results - Headache until migraine.Have an overlooked form, ischemia in the brain or spinal cord, or even stroke.
- The cardiovascular system may also be at risk.Increase or decrease stress, heart pain is not always cardiology.Cardiologists have observed that you can "knock down" years of stress, and cervical osteochondrosis may be the cause of this heart disease.
- The coordination of nerve endings, hearing, vision and even movement may be affected.
Symptoms of neck osteochondrosis:
- Pain.There may be mild pain in the neck, especially after turning or sleeping.Using cervical osteochondrosis, pain can be "given" on the occipital bone and on the shoulder.Pain under the scraper can also occur when the head is tilted forward.Headache and migraine are not rare in this disease.
- Nucoma.Arms, shoulders, shoulder blades, unpleasant sensations on the neck, tingling or numbness.When he turned his head, the crystal on his neck.
- Noise and ringtones in the ears.Maybe the hearing will worsen.
- Disgusting, lack of air.It is observed that it is difficult to breathe and it is impossible to breathe in the whole chest, resulting in oxygen starvation in the body.
- Visual impairment.The clarity of vision acuity is in front of the eyes.
- Instability of blood pressure.Pass or reduce pressure.Dizziness.
A funny fact.More than 80% of the population complain about neck pain, and 30% of headaches are associated with cervical osteochondrosis.
Causes of cervical osteochondrosis
Skeletal chondritis, especially osteochondrosis in the neck, is very young today.We move less - we create more problems for the spine.If older people asked this question earlier, today there are patients aged 20 to 30 complaining about back pain and neck today, you wouldn't surprise your doctor.
The most common reasons:
- Sitting lifestyle
- Inadequate physical exercise
- Excessive weight, metabolic violations
- Bad habits: drinking, smoking
- Incorrect sleep: Wrongly selected pillows and mattresses
- Long-term forced body position related neck load
- Injury
How to treat cervical osteochondrosis
The first manifestation of osteochondrosis in the neck is easily confused with mediocre cold or fatigue: heavy on the back of the head, headache, discomfort when turning the neck.Many people complain about the symptoms, but are not very suspicious of the real diagnosis - osteochondrosis in the cervical vertebrae area.But this is the insidious disease: it progresses easily, and in advanced cases, treatment is both expensive.
Symptoms of the disease are directly related to invasion of the spinal cord roots or compression of blood vessels or spinal cord.First, you need to contact an expert, not self-assessment.For the correct diagnosis, doctors can prescribe other research methods, including X-ray, MRI, CT.
In the early stage, manual treatment and treatment of gymnastics are enough.This is such a ``Gentle and gentle therapy''.
Injection, prescription drugs
During the inflammation process, mediators (the substances formed in large quantities at the focus of inflammation) can damage nerve fibers, resulting in discomfort and neck pain.In complex therapies, it is important not only to clear away pain syndromes, inflammatory processes, but also to create conditions for regeneration of damaged tissues (including nerves).To initiate these processes, vitamin B1, a preparation of group B vitamins, improves nerve tissue nutrition and restores its normal sensitivity, vitamin B6 improves the function of the entire nervous system and has a general enhancement effect.Vitamin B1 is in a water-soluble and fat form.Benfotiamine (fat and dispensable) works 5-10 times more than thiamine (water-soluble).Because of the analgesic effects, these vitamins are called "new painkillers."When treating osteochondrosis, doctors can recommend Group B vitamins in the form of injections and tablets.
When detecting hernia in the cervical area, surgical intervention may be required.What is important?After the main treatment process, caring for your spine is task 1.Proper physical exercise, nutrition, and gymnastics should be your companion.
