According to statistics, almost half of people already aged 30 to 55 years old suffer from osteochondrosis.The lower age threshold of the disease in recent years has decreased to 18 years.
What is osteocandrosis
Osteochondrosis of the spineIt is expressed in the loss of the intervertebral disc, which loses elasticity, elasticity, its cracks.
Cervical osteochondrosisis associated with damage to the cervical spine.
How does the spine work
If for a better simplified meaning slightly simplified the essence, then the spine device can be described as follows.
The spine consists of separate, similar to one another in the form of vertebrae located one above the other.
Despite some form changes, there is an ordinary in the structure of all beads.There is a hole in each beads - all holes are also one above the other and form a vertical duct (tunnel) that passes through the entire spine.
Inside this spinal canal, the spine passes.It goes vertically through the holes in each beads, and its roots (branches, in which sensitive nerve endings) leave the canal between each pair of beads.This is possible because the beads do not lose one another and are not firmly fixed, and between each pair of beads there is a cartilage - an intervertebral disc.
The wheels together with the ligaments tie the beads to one another, and also play the role of shock absorber.Due to their elastic structure, they are compressed elastic during movements and body slope (from the tendency) or unrelated (when directed).Thus, the discs give the spine flexibility and soothe the load from the vertical pressure from top to bottom to each vertebral vertebral of the spinal column, as well as the vertical vibrations that occur when walking or running.After all, a person is a unique raised and direct creature.
Such spine work is provided if the entire load is distributed correctly.Nature has created a very durable, bold and at the same time flexible spine.
And if not?
If the shape of the spine, conceived by nature, for some reason it is violated (stoop, excessive twist in the lower back, scoliosis, flat feet) or a constant chronic landing habit, lies, standing, intervertebral compounds begin to wear, lose their elasticity, the ability to perform, decent and decent function,They climb to the sides, forming a hernia.
Wearing intervertebral drives - there is also a person's calculation for the right.After all, only in people the spine has a vertical load.Such vertical squeezing throughout the life of all the components of the spine (especially in people with excess weight) leads to a gradual deterioration in the blood supply of the intervertebral discs (vascular direction is squeezed) - the disk loses durability and strength.
What else?
Hernia disk continuesBlood vessels,RootAnd sometimesspinal cord.
The consequences of cervical osteochondrosis
Due to changes in anatomical ratios in the spine, blood vessels (main arteries and veins) are squeezed.
What is going on:Due to changes in anatomical ratios in the spine, blood vessels (main arteries and veins) are squeezed.What leads to:
- In a violation of blood flow to the brain and a violation of a full brain food.
- In a violation of venous outlet and accumulation of toxic substances in brain tissue.
How it manifests itself:
- Dizziness (up to short -term loss of consciousness).
- Headaches.
- Visual damage.Wind violation, taste.
- Disordishes bulbar disorders associated with the difficulties of swallowing, pronouncing, violating general breathing and speech.
- Disorders cognitive disorders: damaged memory, perception, complexity with attention concentration, complexity with logical thinking.Violation of reading.
- Lack of absence.Ignorance.Reduce confusion.Forgetfulness.
- Difficulties with pronouncing complex and long words, complex grammatical constructions.
- Decreased performance, excessive work.
- Violations in the emotional and personal sphere: sharp and unreasonable mood swings, emotional incontinence, irritability, anger.
Diagnosis: Disordishes cognitive disorders, aphasia, bulbous dysarthria, discharging encephalopathy, vertebro-baslar insufficiency (VBN), etc. Medication therapy taken in the following cases:
- Vascular drugs.They have an extremely low evidence basis.They require the use of a doctor and under the control of a doctor, they can cause a large number of different complications and side effects.
- Nootropic drugs.Seek strictly use for the appointment and under the control of a doctor.Many have very serious contraindications from the cardiovascular system (with hidden heart pathology, can cause serious negative consequences).Most nootrops do not have a positive pharmacological result, that is, it is useless.
- Drugs with a calming effect, including tranquility, antidepressants, barbiturates, bromide.Psychotropic drugs.Seek strictly use for the appointment and under the control of a doctor.They can be addictive and have numerous side effects (dizziness, headaches, visual damage and urination, dry mouth, nausea, etc. disorders of shame, a decrease in lust, sleep disorders, a group of body weight).
There is a squeeze (compression) of the nerve roots - the nerves coming from the spinal cord in the organs and tissues of the upper body.
What is going on:
There is a squeeze (compression) of the nerve roots - the nerves coming from the spinal cord in the organs and tissues of the upper body.
What leads to: In a pronounced pain syndrome, often chronic, repeated.
How it manifests itself:
- Pain in the neck, back of the head (with head curves or at rest, shots or chronic).
- Headache (headaches of tension associated with the muscle tension of the back surface of the neck and head of the head - pain, poured through the entire head, often accompanied by noise and bell in the ear, flies in front of the eyes).
- Pain in the upper chest.
- Pain that simulates pain in the heart, in the lungs.
- Pain in the upper back in the shoulders, shoulders.
- Pain in the shoulder joint or all over the hand.
- Numbness of fingers, hands, hands completely.
Medication therapy taken in the following cases:
- Josteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (painkillers, antipyretic), which require strict use for the appointment and under the control of a physician and have adverse side reactions from the gastrointestinal tract (gastritis, ulcers, ulcerative bleeding), cardiovascular system, kidneys.
- Preparations that relieve muscle hypertonitis, which require strictly use for its intended purpose and under the control of a physician and have negative side reactions in the form of severe dizziness, weakness to exhausting.
The use of medication therapy is the most common practice in the treatment of osteochondrosis.However, this is a symptomatic treatment.Medications are used to stop inflammatory processes and pain (sometimes you need to turn to the blockade of novocaine), a decrease in neurological and psycho -emotional symptoms.The most important thing is for pharmacological therapy to occur under the strict supervision of a physician.
However, if you do not directly stop the process of vessel violation, do not restore the balance of the spine and all the related structures defined by nature (violation of body symmetry, flat legs, muscle cramps that occur as a compensatory reaction to balance), the disease will not help and help.
Osteopathic treatment is aimed at eliminating the above causes of osteochondrosis, which today is known as the most effective.
Osteopathic treatment of osteocandrosis
Rule no.1 "the sooner, the better" in the case of osteochondrosis, it works in particular!After all, to cure osteochondrosis - it means not extinguishing pain or other syndromes, but to restore the normal spinal cord position, provide the intervertebral disc with full lost nutrition (to restore normal blood supply) even before degenerative processes in cartilage tissue will become irreversible.
Osteopathy determines the place where the displacement or deformation occurredReasons why ships were taken on the back.Osteopathy considers the body as a single system in which everything is interconnected and touches one another, literally attracts one after another.This means that osteopathy restores the work of all structures, the changes in which in the chain led to a violation of the power of the intervertebral disc.The task of osteopathy is to restore the equilibrium ratio of organs and tissues, eliminate the stresses and clasps that interfere with full nutrition.And if, in the case of a neglected condition of the disease, changes in the structure of the spine lead to violations of the work of the internal organs, osteopathic treatment will be intended to eliminate developing malfunctions.
That is, osteopathy works with the root cause of the disease, and not with the elimination of its syndromes, including pain.Although he will begin his work with this, with the relief of pain.However, it will not stop here.The best way of osteopathy works in combination with physiotherapy (provides a decrease in pain and inflammatory processes) and physiotherapy exercises - exercise therapy (strengthens muscle crust, helps the body stay in a new unusual but proper position).
conclusions
- The neck cannot be treated in a non -sisorrous way.Since the brain must be provided with unimpeded food.And it depends on how much the neck is a healthy "conductor".
- You can't wait.The more the disease starts, the harder it is to rotate it (and sometimes impossible).Osteopathy is able to determine the disease when it is still in the rudiment and does not manifest in any way.You should never neglect a diagnostic examination.
- It is impossible to neglect the prevention of osteochondrosis.It is always easier than treating the disease.
