Symptoms of cervical spine osteochondrosis are usually divided into radicular and reflex.
Symptoms of osteochondrosis of the cervical region osteochondrosis
Many nerves come out of the spine.They are called spinal nerves.Eachdo such nerve is gradually branched and continues in a certain area of the body with clearly marked boundaries.This area is called the segmental intrigue area.Eachdo vertebra, disk, nerve and area has a count that corresponds strictly to each other.If the nerve is exposed, then the symptoms will appear in the area of segmental intrigue corresponding to this nerve, and no other in an arbitrary place.
Radicular symptoms of osteochondrosis of the cervical region include:
- Decrease or loss of reflexes;
- Muscle weakness;
- Impaired sensitivity;
- Rimed pain.
Not all areas of the cervical spine are subjected to as many pathologies.Most removable segments are more likely to suffer: C3 - C4, C4 - C5, C5 - C6 and C6 - C7.According to the principle - "more movements - higher clothing".
Areas of intrigue of cervical segments
Osteochondrosis C3 - C4-I indicates that the 3rd and 4th vertebrae of the cervix and the disk between them are affected.At the same time, the 4th nerve, which goes to the neck, suffers.The main signs - sensitivity throughout the perimeter of the neck decreases.There is discomfort, and sometimes pain, in this area.
Osteochondrosis C4 - C5-Ak affects the 5th spine nerve.The neck pain spreads over the shoulder toopa at the upper front of the shoulder.Sensitivity decreases along the outer surface of the shoulder.In the same area, the numbness occurs.Deltoid muscle is always weakened.
Osteochondrosis C5 - C6- The most common diagnosis.At the same time, the 6th nerve suffers.This is manifested by pain from biceps on the thumb and thumb on the outer surface of the hand.Sensitivity decreases, numbness or "goosebumps" appears in the same area.And there is always a weakness of biceps.
Osteochondrosis C6 - C7-Ak affects the 7th nerve.The pain appears in the triceps area and behind the arm.Sensitivity decreases on the middle fingers and brush ring.Numbness and "goosebumps" can appear in the same area.Necessarily - the weakness of triceps.
Reflex symptoms of osteochondrosis of the cervical spine
Neck pain, the back of the collar region - most often in the morning.Difficulty movements, stalemate in the neck.Neck muscle tension.Constant pain hurts.Headaches.Dizziness.Intracranial pressure.Sharp pain.Weakness in the hands, numbness, "needles" and "goosebumps".Shoulder pain, sometimes giving under the shoulder blade.Burning between shoulder blade.Burning in the heart - resembles angina pectoris.Pain in the left half of the chest can sometimes be given to the left hand.Numbness of brushes or fingers."Bump" in the seventh vertebra area of the cervix.Poor teeth condition.Quickly by spraying visual damage, temporary darkening or "flies" in the eye.Decreased vision.Noise or bell in the ear.Deterioration of hearing.Nausea, sometimes reaching vomiting.Pressure increases.Pallor or pallor.Loss of consciousness.Feeling a lump in the throat, problems with swallowing.Sore throat.Weakening his voice or noise.A feeling of lack of air.Disordishes sleep disorders, frequent insomnia.Snoring - a consequence of neck muscle tension.The feeling that he had not slept.It is difficult to move, especially in the morning.The coordination of the movements is damaged - it is reflected in walking.General weakness, breakdown.Nervousness.Fast fatigue.
Symptoms of osteochondrosis of the cervical region:
- depends on the phase of osteochondrosis
- intensify with sloping and head twist
- Most often manifested after 35-45 years
- In women, they appear approximately 3 times more often than in men
You, of course, note that the radical symptoms are defined quite clearly, and the reflex - are very vague and unchanged.And as you know, everything that has no clear definitions serves as a suitable cover for professional powerlessness.This applies to reflex symptoms and a "age -related changes" by doctors.Surely many of you are familiar with the situation when the doctor explained the problem with "reflex" or "age" processes.Most people in such moments rightly believe that the doctor simply cannot understand what is happening and trying to blame his inability to the fog of these "magic words".
At one time, the phrase was popular: "Eachdo accident has a name, surname and position."So every disease has its own unique symptoms.And the doctor's duty is clearly to know them.And then it will not be necessary to leave the fog and blame the osteochondrosis of the cervical region.Now you understand how important it is to find an experienced and knowledgeable doctor.Accurate diagnosis and treatment results will depend on this.
When choosing a clinic - the main thing is to reach an experienced and knowledgeable doctor.
Diagnosis of cervical osteochondrosis is the key to proper treatment
So far, there are a number of modern methods of diagnosing osteochondrosis hardware.The most accurate of them are MRI and CT.But the main method is still clinical diagnosis-this is when an experienced physician compares the data of at least three resources from the patient's complaints, the results of MRI and the symptoms he detected during the examination.This allows you to make a diagnosis as accurately as possible and form an effective individual treatment program.
Treatment of cervical back osteochondrosis
As you understand, osteochondrosis is a true "ball of symptoms" of the symptoms, which, being discovered which, your doctor will save you from pain and torment.But it is not possible to eliminate changes in beads and discs.Therefore, the words "osteochondrosis" treatment should be properly understood.If you are interested in eliminating pain and other suffering, then yes - this is quite possible.And if you make an academic discussion on the topic of returning to beads and discs of pristine species, "as a newborn child", then there are no - the past cannot be returned.You have to be realistic, and then you will not fall into the rogue bait.
- Don't get into the rogue bait!
- It is impossible to get back to beads and discs - it's impossible!
Which method of treatment is considered the main thing?
Mild manual therapy is the main type of treatment for cervical spine osteochondrosis.It, like an antibiotic with pneumonia, cannot do without it.The remaining types - massage, medicines, physics and exercise therapy - are auxiliary.
How does mild manual therapy work?
Drill food is directly related to the muscles surrounding the cervical vertebrae.Moreover, the neck muscles themselves are one of the constituent causes of pain in the cervical region osteochondrosis.Mild manual therapy is special methods that allow muscles to restore their natural physiology, eliminate cramps, muscle clamps and improve discs.
Intervertebral discs are the only part of the body that has no blood vessel and feeds on proper muscle function.
In addition, handling with the help of hands, the manual therapist of the doctor:
- will remove the load from the affected beads and discs and distribute it correctly;
- Relax the muscles and will help them return to the normal state.
Thank you:
- will save the patient from the clips;
- improve disk power;
- will restore body motor functions;
- Normalizes blood circulation.
Manual exposure mobilizes the body's internal forces and causes its own mechanisms.Treatment is absolutely safe.
Prevention of cervical back osteochondrosis
To avoid relapse, create suitable conditions for sleep and work.Follow your weight and proper nutrition.Support your physical activity.But the main thing is that you should not neglect your health and not save on it.Don't let the matter be a gravity.After recovery, try to make at least one supporting session of soft manual therapy once every three to six months-this will reduce risk factors.Remember, neglected osteochondrosis leads to complications - elongation and disc herniation.Remember: your health, first of all, you need!
Preserved osteochondrosis leads to complications - elongation and disc herniation.
