Cervical osteochondrosis is degenerative-dystrophic disease of the structure of cartilage discs and the structure of bone basis.Depending on the stage of the disease, there is a deformation with the further depletion of vertebral objects.As a result, blood microcirculation, nervous conductivity is violated.The cervical osteocondrosis can be both an independent disease, but also other spine can be combined with degenerative dystrophic damage.
ICD-10 in the International Classification of Diseases, cervical osteochondrosis does not have a separate password.Pathological M42.1 code - is shown in the osteocondrosis of the spine in adults.The hospital is a complete diagnosis and treatment of the diseases of the musaloshelet system.The exam is carried out using the latest equipment that meets quality and safety standards.
Reasons
Doctors distinguish several reasons that can lead to the development of cervical osteocondrosis.These include:
- obesity;
- Seated lifestyle;
- the history of the neck or spinal;
- Excessive load in the musaloshelet system;
- Psycho -emotal-I;
- congenital deformation of cervical vertebrae;
- hereditary tendency;
- Scoliosis, rheumatism, straight legs;
- metabolic pathology;
- hormonal imbalance;
- Hypothermia.
It is difficult to identify and eliminate the etiological factor independently.It is better to keep in touch with professionals.Doctors choose an individual diagnostic complex that allows the root cause of the cervical waist osteocondrosis.It is necessary to determine the correct therapy.
Development of cervical osteochondrosis
Cervical osteocondrosis is characterized by several stages.They determine the severity of the state and the presence of certain clinical symptoms.
- First.In the early stages there is a slightly smooth of the neck lord.Clinically, this head is stated in strength syndrome.Patients complain of muscle tension, headache, stiffness of actions.The first stage is treated without drug use.Enough to follow a particular food and make exercises.
- The second.At this stage, the non-stability of cervical vertebrae appears.This is stated in strengthening the pain gradually passing on the shoulders or arms.Pain intensifies while moving.The second stage is characterized by a decrease in the height of intervertebral disks.This causes nerves to break.Patients complain about the headache, distraction and fatigue.
- Third.The structure of Vertebrae is accompanied by severe deformation and destruction.Pain syndrome is permanent.The intervertebral hernia is beginning to occur.Clinically, it is expressed in the dizziness, darkening, and the insurability of the gait.
- Fourth.Destroyed pieces of intervertebral disks are replaced by connective tissue.Several segments are involved in the pathological process.Patients complain of coordination, dizziness and headaches.There is a permanent noise in the ears.
Symptoms and signs
Clinical symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis are the same for all ages.Many people have been postponed to a visit to a doctor due to the presence of symptoms.Only when the disease receives obsessive character and accompanied by appropriate signs, it is a treatment for medical care.
Modern equipment allows you to accurately determine the degree of cervical osteocondrosis.Thanks to this, the correct treatment is determined by the correct treatment that relaxes symptoms as soon as possible.The main clinical signs of the disease include:
- The pain in the neck is accompanied by crisis;
- tingling or numbness in upper extremities;
- dizziness;
- headache;
- noise in the ears;
- Panic attacks;
- the stiffness of the actions;
- Restriction of mobility;
- weakness, a sharp crash;
- nausea;
- violation of orientation in space;
- gait instability;
- To reduce visual acuity.
Symptoms depending on damaged vertebrae
The cervical spine consists of 7 vertebrae.Relevant symptoms differ depending on the level of damage:
| Vertebral | Symptoms |
| C1 | Reduced the sensitivity of the skin. |
| C2 | Pain syndrome is localized in nape and parietal zone. |
| C3 | The sensitivity of the tongue and hypoid muscles violates;In severe cases, speech is worried and the language of control is lost. |
| C4 and C5 | Pain syndrome is determined in the shoulders and nearest areas.The feeling of anxiety in the chest was attended, which is often accepted pathologically. |
| C6 | In the neck, the knives are felt in the forearm.Damage of nerves reduces skin sensitivity. |
| C7 | The pain of the pain, the back of the shoulders, the upper shoulder belt is localized.The violations are reduced by reflexes and cause the power of hands. |
Diagnosis
The spine requires a comprehensive diagnosis of cervical osteochondrosis.It includes:
- Collection of history and diseases.The doctor clarifies existing complaints, time, the dynamics of violence.It is necessary to set the medications used to facilitate the situation.
- Objective verification.After the survey, the specialist is starting to inspect.The skin of the patient is visited by the work.Painful areas are determined on the palpation.
- Radiography.The first instrumental research method is a cervical spine ray.Most, 2 forecasts are investigated.
- CT, MRI.Thanks to the study, it is possible to create the attention of the lesion, accurate localization.Tomography allows you to assess the condition of blood vessels and nerves.
- Ultrasound.Learning an ultrasound of head and neck vessels, Patency allows you to assess the stand.
- General Blood Test.First of all, indicators (leukocytes, ESR) are assessed in response.
According to the information obtained, doctors build the severity of cervical osteochondrosis.Doctors use modern equipment that allows you to quickly and effectively carry out the amount of any diagnostic measures.
Types of treatment
The treatment of cervical osteochondrosis, as a diagnosis, envisages an integrated approach.Therapeutic volume is selected individually.This depends on the segment of the lesion, the severity of the disease and the severity of clinical symptoms.The main methods of treatment are:
- to take medicine;
- Physiotherapy;
- Therapeutic body culture;
- massage;
- Surgical surgery.
Several drug groups are used among the medical methods of medical treatment:
- Painkillers.Used to reduce the severity of pain.
- Non-active anti -inflamator medications.Used to reduce the swelling of tissues and inflammatory syndrome.They are set in different forms (tablets, outer use).
- Antispasmodicas.Cracking spasms, reduces pain syndrome.
- Drugs for joints.Restore the structure of intervertebral disks.
- B B. Vitamins have a positive effect on the state of the nervous system.
Physiotherapy
Determined to increase the movement of drugs.Most used to:
- Acupuncture;
- massage;
- Hand therapy.
Medical physics education
Regular training exercises will not only eliminate pain severity, but also prevent preventive effects.Thanks to physical exercises, muscle corset is strengthening, improves blood circulation in the affected area, and the load in the affected area is reduced.Experienced instructors develop individual therapy programs for each patient.This helps to easily and effectively get rid of cervical osteocondrosis.The selected course may be repeated at home.
Massage
The proper massage of the cervical-brothel zone facilitates the situation, to eliminate the muscle spasm, and increases mobility.The restrictions of the procedure are:
- Pathology of cardiovascular system in decompensation;
- tumor forms;
- skin diseases;
- complications of chronic somatic pathologies;
- osteomielitis.
When contacting a special institution, you will choose a course of treatment individually.His average term is 10-15 sessions.
Recidiv and treatment
The escalation of cervical osteocondrosis can occur at any time.In this case, pain, the strictness of the actions, the restrictions of the actions appear.In some cases, it is enough to observe a careful bed rest for 3-4 days to eliminate rapidly outcoming symptoms.However, if pathological features are preserved or strengthened, you must consult a doctor.To stop the relapse of cervical osteochondrosis, the medicines of the NSAIDS group are used in muscle.
Prevention
It is necessary to keep preventing regular osteochondrosis to prevent development or exacerbation.Doctors recommend:
- carries an active lifestyle;
- save the posture;
- strengthen the back and neck muscles;
- to observe a balanced and rational diet;
- sleep in a correct and convenient position;
- If the work has long been associated with a long time in sitting for a long time, take intervals.
If the first symptoms of cervical osteocondrosis occur, it is recommended to consult a doctor.Experts will help to accurately identify, identify the disease stage, as well as determine the correct treatment.
