Cervical osteochondria

The cervical osteochondria, whose concentration is marked, as can be determined by the name, in the throat, is a fairly common pathology.The cervical osteochondria, the symptoms of which cannot always be considered exclusively as this disease, taking into account the characteristics of detection and local processes, often leads to the treatment of other areas, these symptoms are so contradictory.

General description

Mostly the development of cervical osteochondicism occurs because of a sedentary lifestyle, which contributes particularly to a significant transition from physical work, though to a moderate extent that it is widespread for spiritual work, which is again accompanied by seated work.

In general, before examining the symptoms inherent in the cervical osteochondria, I would like to observe that there may be some differences from the symptoms that accompany osteochondria as a whole, which may not be particularly amazing, given that they are very amazing.

The vertebrae concentrated on the neck next to each other pretty tight.Meanwhile, the framework in the cervical area does not grow very well, which contributes to the vertebral displacement factor.In turn, it causes compression of nerve and blood vessels, which are more than abundant in the cervical area.Thus, for example, it is here that the spinal artery runs, in which blood supply to the brain is ensured (or rather its posterior parts, presented in the form of elongated brain and cerebellum).

Compression (that is, compression) of the spinal artery due to the decrease in blood circulation can cause spinal cord and brain ischemia and if we consider acute variations of such a course, then they even cause a spine.By the way, such an artery damage can be judged by the occurrence of symptoms in the form of a violation of movements coordination, frequent dizziness, and vision and hearing disorders.

The overall compact that has the part of the cervix can cause that even a slight muscle intensity or the vertebral displacement will lead to squeezing the nerve endings, which results in the sting in the cervical nerve, which can also undergo vascular structures.The osteophytes, which are formed in the context of the conditions of such conditions, only lead to the deterioration of the condition, given the characteristic compact character of the cervical region.We remind our readers that the increases of small sizes formed directly in the bones are determined as osteophyst, the substances formed in the process of the pathological substance of the hypertrophic process (that is, in the general understanding of hypertrophy - this is a process in which an increase in a separate part of the body).

The cervical osteochondria causes the development of protrusions and herbs in the spine, the effects of which, in addition to features such as vertebral displacement, stress stress and osteopettes formation, also compress nerve roots and thus lead to its growth.As a result, the return, again, to the compact size of the spine of the Department of Interest for us, remains to emphasize that the spine covers its volume completely, as a result of which additional compression - this time directly on the spinal cord.As a strong manifestation of such a course of the disease, there is pain syndrome.

Furthermore, osteochondria can also lead to brain compression and, given the characteristic narrowing of the vertebral tube of the section, occurs much more often than when processes in lumbar and thoracic parts is examined.It is noteworthy that the damage zone is reduced by the cervical osteochondria not only in the defeat of the throat and the head itself, but also in the defeat of the limbs (according to the above, such a effect is diagnosed much more often).Taking into account these characteristics of cervical osteochondrication, it is one that becomes one of the common causes of patients' disability.

So let's try to summarize in which, in particular, I would like to touch these factors again that lead to the squeezing of nerve and vascular structures in the cervical osteochondria.

The structure of the cervical area

  • Sliding (or shifting) of the spine.This situation implies a specific definition - spondylolistz.For the most part, this type of displacement is minimal in terms of their appearance in practice, in addition, it is important to cause a slight displacement of the development of paralysis, so as not to mention the most serious displacement, which leads to anything else as a deadly effect.
  • Osteophenically.The cervical osteochondria, as we have already noticed, causes the development of the corresponding increases, that is, osteophytes.They, in turn, are on the sides of the vertebral bodies, lead to the irritation of the muscles that suit them directly, which ensures an increase in their tone.The load that affects the vertebrae thus increases, this is already causing an increase in pressure on the intervertebral disc at the same height.In the context of such a process, the risk of protrusion increases.Osteophytes directed to the passage of the spine can cause a stenosis.
  • Fresh Formation, spine hernia.All of this is one of the options for the outcome of the development of cervical osteochondria.
  • Change the height of the spine disk (ie, the leveling) of).In frequent cases, height reduction occurs due to a decrease in the size of the intervertebral hole.In addition, it is important to note that even an unsuccessful rotation of the neck can lead to cervical vertebrae underground, as a result of which additional compression (ie compression) is ensured.

Tumbic Osteochondria: Symptoms

The changes occurring with the spine with cervical osteochondria occur in combination with many clinical manifestations.It is worth noting that these list can be made available for about three dozen options, while the most interesting and unexpected for the patients themselves can prove to be the fact that in addition to "traditional" throat pain, we should treat symptoms that do not fall under the disease under the disease.Thus, for example, not everyone will introduce pain in the elbow joint, the weakness of the legs or optic disorders, as well as some other manifestations that we will also try to cover the following.

To represent these basic symptoms that may accompany cervical osteochondria, we conventionally distinguish the three main groups determined in accordance with the dominant participation of the central nervous system in the pathological process.

  • Group.This includes the neurological symptoms of the disease, which is regarded as a complication, which arose due to the effect of the procedure directly on the discs and nerve roots, as well as the nerves and the grid (in other words, the procedure concerns the regional part of the nervous system).
  • Group II.In this case, we are talking about the symptoms related to the cervical osteochondria, which is manifested by the direct effect of the pathological process on the spinal cord.
  • Group III.Symptoms directly related to the processes that appear in the brain with cervical osteochondria and therefore in the cranial nerves, structures and shells of its hemispheres, in the trunk and brain vessels.

In short, for each of the groups it can be noted that the symptoms of cervical osteochondrication of the first group are mainly in pain, the symptoms of the latter are in motor disorders and the symptoms of the third party are in phenomena associated with the pathological effects of vessels.Of course, in frequent cases, there is a manifestation of these symptoms not only in their pure form, but also in the form of a combination between them, which, however, does not exclude the ability to define the main group of symptoms based on symptoms.

Cervical Osteochondria: Symptoms of First Team

As we have noticed earlier, the first group contains symptoms in the form of painful manifestations, which occur due to damage to the nervous system of the peripheral section.This includes both stable throat aches (defined by both "brain cervical") and the cervical radicalitis, the cervical shutter.In addition, joint pain (wrist joint, elbow joint or shoulder joint) may also occur, there may also be pain in the chest area (which may indicate heart pain, liver).

It should be noted that throat pain is the first symptom of cervical osteochondrication and is observed in almost all patients with this diagnosis.Such pains occur in the morning after awakening, intensifying at the time of attempts to roll in a position located, as well as with laughter, cough, unsuccessful head turn or sneezing, which is already possible in any other position of the body.The nature of the pain can be defined as drilling and stupid, in some cases the pain may turn, however, regardless of a particular choice, the detection of this pain focuses on the very depths of the throat.As for the duration of the pain, it can be either periodic and stable.

The pain, which occurs with awakening, is subject to a decrease in its own intensity, which occurs during the day, it is possible to complete them.The immunity of the pain (its distribution) in the shoulder area and on the surface of the neck is not excluded.

The throat muscle tension (moderate), the difficulty of breathing in the cervical area can also be noted.The acute period of the onset of the disease is characterized by the adoption of a somewhat peculiar position by patients in which they try to keep their heads slightly below the slope forward and at the same time.In the case of a displacement, restriction is often observed in the rotational movements made by the head.

Frequently characteristic symptoms of cervical osteochondryosis are distinguished by the presence of noise phenomena that occur at the time of rotation of the head in the form of a crisis and cake, which allows you to bring a proportion to the friction of the stone to the sand.Often in such cases it is possible to diagnose the statute of the course of cervical osteochondrication, which are excluded in the portion of patient symptoms mentioned by attention.

In addition to the pain of the cervix and the shutter, the cervical osteochondria can occur in a cluster of cervical and cervical radicals, these conditions are manifested in the form of pain that focus on the upper parts of the cervix.Pain enhancement is noted at the time of converting the head to one direction or another, to a lesser extent, such a manifestation of pain is relative to other actions.Often the spread of pain with cervical osteochondria occurs in the shoulder belt and in the hands (in one or both).Specifically, this happens at the time of the muscle voltage, which is directly related to specific nerve roots, the compression of which occurs by the vertebrae.

Unfortunately, it can be noted that cervical radicitis represents about 90% of root compression cases in 6 and 7 sections, in 5% - in 5 and 8 sections.Thus, the defeat of the sixth section leads to the appearance of unpleasant sensations or the pain, concentrated in the anterior outer surface of the forearm area with a thumb.The participation of the seventh cervical spine leads to unpleasant sensations and middle finger pain.The involvement of the eighth root leads to the appearance of unpleasant sensations and pain in the little finger.

If the lesion affects the upper vertebrae and cervical discs, then this can lead to the involvement of the occipital nerve that by nouncing the skin in the fibrin process.This manifests, respectively, with neck pain, are stable, characterized by periodic reinforcement.Also, the area of Napaica loses sensitivity, a certain point of pain can be detected in the form of painful stamp and stress.

The cervical osteochondria often leads to the development of Croought, which is due to a spasm of the neck muscles in the head background and the curvature of the neck characteristic of this condition.In this case, in patients, the head is slightly shifted to the side/forward or sideways/backwards.There is no practical ability to move the throat, an attempt to turn to the head is accompanied by the appearance of some pain in the throat, shoulder or back of the head.

Compression of vessels for osteochondria due to deficiency for this reason, blood supply leads to the weakening of the pulse in the radial artery and with pain attacks with the pale of the fingers.

Another manifestation of cervical osteochondicity is a complication in which pain concentration occurs in the shoulder joint, which is defined asThe shoulder -Shoulder peraringritis.It is developed due to violations in the shoulder-baining area of the injection, due to dystrophic changes in the gradual manner, grades are increasing.These disorders occur with the onset of a painful process that accompanies the cervical osteochondria, but for a long time they are just invisible.

The main symptoms of this pathology are joint pain, as a rule, which occurs without visible causes, the manifestations of this pain in enhanced form at night are noted.Then, the hand abduction leads to pain (mainly from the outside of the joint), the detection determines the painful zones.Due to the patient's desire to ensure that the rest of the painful edge, the joint becomes narrow to the background of contraction of the reflex muscles in it ("frozen shoulder").Then, in the absence of treatment, increasing the hand more than above the horizontal plane becomes impossible.

Cervical Osteochondria: Symptoms of the Second Group

The symptoms of the second group consist of syndromes that occur on the background of the damage at the cervical level of the spinal cord.Two mechanisms can lead to it, either the compression, which is produced by the disc with customer core due to the softness of its cohesion, or the spinal cord injury on the side of the solid (long) discs or the rear -legged spondes.In women, the former is most commonly observed, in men - the second mechanism.

Symptoms of this course are often accompanied by weaknesses of the hands and feet, and there is an increase in tone with no muscle weight loss, in the hands, on the contrary, the tone is reduced, the tumor is reduced.Sensitive muscle accumulation in their hands can also grow, without pain.Most of the time, such a complication is diagnosed at the age of 40 to 55 years, a little less often - at the age of the old men and even less often - at the age of young people.The relevance of such a complication may be discussed in the presence of a patient in violations related to heart activity (arrhythmias) or atherosclerosis.

The changes resulting in the spinal cord are defined asMyeopathy, develops in the context of pathological changes in the disc located in the area between the 5th and 6th cervix.Its growth can cause spine to grow, excessive attack, affecting shoulder belt muscles, as well as negative emotions and alcohol poisoning.

One of the varieties of myelopathy is the disappearance of temperature and pain sensitivity due to the characteristics of the clinical manifestations mentioned.Consequently, patients lose the ability to feel the irritating effects that in one way or another on the skin in the cervical area, upper parts of the chest and hands (on one side).Thus, the plot that has lost sensitivity is in the form of an enclosure.Along with the reported symptoms, spontaneous aches (break, pain) occur, on the side of the defeat the hand is weakened.

Another type of manifestations of cervical osteochondrication is the "semiconductor disorders syndrome" that occurs with the inadequate supply of the side pillars of the spinal cord (its parts) with blood.This leads to increased fatigue of the lower extremities marked when walking/standing, as well as intermittent chrome.The nun of the hands, as well as the unpleasant sensations in them (related to the time of day), in some cases, such manifestations are not excluded in the legs.When closing the eyes, there is a violation of coordination.The reported phenomena, despite their own stability, do not limit the ability to work.

Cervical Osteochondria: Symptoms of the third group

The third group of symptoms contains the manifestations of the brain in the disease under consideration, which occurs due to a lack of blood flow to the system responsible for providing the brain stem with blood.Spine arteries function as the main vessels that form such a system.We emphasize the main types of syndromes that are significant in this case.

  • Suburban syndrome.It was more commonly diagnosed, manifested in symptoms that indicate reduced hypothalamus or rather in the form of neurotic disorders.This is the irritability and increased fatigue, anxiety and contact, the volatility of moods and sleep disorders (its frivolity, sleep is characterized by ease of growth without a sense of rest, difficulties with sleep).Also, the likelihood of concentration in something is lost, the ability to remember is reduced, the unpleasant sensations often occur in various organs.Serious cases are accompanied by the appearance of the causes of fears, anger, longing, anxiety.Patients are pale, cool the limbs, increased sweating, increasing pressure and pulse.Appetite, such as the sex drive, decreases, urination is quickly.
  • Drip syndrome.It consists of the attacks of a decline in a patient's fainting with simultaneous loss of consciousness (possibly without loss), which also occurs due to vascular spasm.Consciousness is restored quite quickly when the patient is placed in a horizontal position (the head decreases).After an attack, patients have strong weakness in the legs and collapse, headache is possible.
  • Vestibule syndrome.The only manifestation of the syndrome at the initial stage of the disease is the dizziness that occurs due to the sensitivity of the vestibule to the lack of blood supply.Nausea and vomiting are possible in combination with some fluctuations in eye movements, instability while walking.
  • Kochlear-Barrel syndrome.It manifests in the form of blow and noise in the ears, mainly on one side.Hearing can be reduced, ear congestion occurs, mainly the syndrome is associated with the previous one, but its independent course is not excluded.By the way, it is not always easy to determine the connection to the cervical osteochondria with such symptoms.
  • Sydrome Gworight-Board.The main manifestations consist of the appearance of the presence of a foreign object in the throat that causes difficulties in swallowing, also this feeling of dry neck is possible with itching.The voice loses its peace, survival appears in the larynx and throat, pain in these areas.Fatigue is noted during the conversation, demanding a break, difficulties in swallowing dense foods along with esophageal spasm and reduction of such manifestations occurs after resting.
  • Visual disorders.Various types of optic disorders: "fog" in front of the eyes, a drop of visual acuity, etc., alternating various violations during the day.

Treatment

A complete recovery with the disease we consider is not possible, because its treatment is generally focused on slowing the current process, and in particular on a specific period of the course of the disease.The frenzies require hospitalization and semi -hydrate regime.

In terms of pharmaceutical therapy, it consists of the appointment of various types of analgesics, the possibility of using Novocaine's muscles is not excluded.Along with treatment, the main emphasis is on the treatment of vitamins, the muscle relaxation can be prescribed.The effectiveness of the results in the treatment of cervical osteochondrality is achieved in the use of physiotherapy methods (electrophoresis using an anesthetic, ultrasound processes, etc.).Treatment of cervical osteochondrication also involves the need to wear So -Called Shants Collar, massage processes are prescribed for recession.

The diagnosis of cervical osteochondry is performed by a neurologist and the direction in this specialist can be taken with an incorrect case in the need to visit Laura, the therapist, the cardiologist and other specialists.

Migraine is a fairly common neurological disease, accompanied by a severe paroxysmal headache.Migraine, whose symptoms are actually pain, concentrated by half of the head mainly in the eye, temples and fronts, in nausea and in some cases vomiting, occurs without reference to brain tumor formations, strokes and severe injuries.

Chronic fatigue syndrome (Sokr. Cu) is a condition in which mental and physical weakness is due to unknown factors and lasting for six months or more.Chronic fatigue syndrome, the symptoms of which are supposed to be associated with infectious diseases, in addition, is closely linked to an accelerated life rate and an increased current of information that literally collapses into a person for their subsequent perception.

The ischemic stroke is an acute type of brainwashed brain circulation due to the deficiency of the match in a specific blood region of the brain or in the complete cessation of this process, in addition, it is damaged by the brain tissue in conjunction with its functions.Ischemic stroke, the symptoms of which, as well as the disease itself, are most commonly observed among the most common types of cerebrospinal diseases, is the cause of subsequent disability and often fatal outcome.

Avitaminosis is a painful state of a person that occurs as a result of an acute lack of vitamins in the human body.It distinguishes the deficiency of spring and winter vitamin.There are no restrictions on the floor and age group in this case.

AstHenoveGetative (ABC) syndrome is a pathological process in which a functional violation of the autonomous system, which is responsible for the operation of the internal organs, occurs.Most of the time, such a violation results in a result of a person's inability to respond adequately to stressful situations.

With the help of physical exercises and abstinence, most people can do without medicine.
