Cervical osteochondrosis, the concentration of which is as possible as it can be determined by the name, the neck is a very common pathology.Cervical osteochondrosis, the symptoms of which may not always be unequivocally regarded as a disease, as a disease, depending on its localization and the characteristics of local processes, often causing treatment of other areas, these symptoms are so contradictory.
General Description
Mostly cervical osteochondrosis develops due to a seductive lifestyle, which is particularly promoted by a significant transition from physical labor, although previously moderate quality, which is previously widespread for the work of the intelligence, which is still accompanied by a sitting.
Generally, before we move on to cervical osteochondrosis, I would like to notice that it may show some differences from the symptoms that accompany osteochondrosis as a whole, which may not be particularly amazing, given the anatomical characteristics that we have).
Vinenams that are concentrated in the surrounding neck are quite tightly.At the same time, the framework in the cervical region is not well developed, which contributes to the factor of the spine movement.This, in turn, causes the compression of the nerves and blood vessels, which is more in the cervical region than abundant.For example, this is where the artery of the spine, which helps the brain's blood supply (or rather, the rear parts represented in the form of an elongated brain and cerebrum).
Compression of the spine artery due to a decrease in blood circulation can lead to ischemia of the spinal cord and brain, and if we look at the acute options of this course, it can even cause a stroke of the spinal cord.By the way, such damage to the artery can be assessed by the appearance of symptoms of coordination of movements, frequent dizziness, as well as disorders, vision and hearing disorders.
The overall compactness, which has a cervical department, can cause even slight muscle tension or movement of the spine to weaken nerve endings, which involves entering the cervical nerve, which may also be subject to vascular structures.Osteophytes, which arise in the wake of such conditions, cause only deterioration in the situation, taking into account the characteristic cervical region.Remember our readers that the rise in small size, which is directly formed on the bones, defines as osteophytes, substances that are produced in the pathological process, essentially the hypertrophic process (ie, in the generally understanding of hypertrophy - this is the process in which a certain part of the body/body is increased).
Cervical osteochondrosis causes protrusions and hernia in the spine, the results of which, in addition to the movement of the spine, spine stress and osteophytes, it also gains nerve root and thereby leading to swelling and inflammation in it.As a result, again the return of compact size, which has a spinal channel of interest to us, remains focused that the spine fully covers its volume, resulting in additional contraction - this time directly in the spinal canal.As a manifestation of such a course of the disease, pain syndrome is observed.
In addition, osteochondrosis can also cause brain weakening and, given the characteristic of the department's spinal canal, it is more often than when discussing processes in lumbar and chest parts.It is noteworthy that the zone of injury is reduced by cervical osteochondrosis not only by defeating the neck and head, but by defeating the limbs (by the upper part, such a result is more often diagnosed).Given these characteristics of cervical osteochondrosis, it is one who occurs one of the most common causes of patients with disabilities.
Let's try to summarize, in particular, I would like to touch on the factors that cause the compression of nerve and vascular structures in the cervical region of the cervical region.
- Spinal disk sliding (or moving).This state implies a specific definition - spondylolistz.For the most part, this type of movement is minimal in practice in terms of their event, moreover, it is important that even slight movement lead to the development of paralysis, let alone a more serious shift, which results in something else as a fatal effect.
- Osteophytes.Cervical osteochondrosis, as we have already mentioned, provokes the development of appropriate growth, ie osteophytes.They, in turn, are located from the pages of the spine bodies, causing irritation of the muscles that fit directly to them, ensuring their tone growth.The load that affects the vertebrates, thus increasing, which already provokes pressure increase in the intervertebral disk in the same height.Against the backdrop of such a process, the risk of protrusion increases.Osteophytes, which are directed to the passage of the spine artery, can be narrowed.
- Protrusion formation, spinal hernia.All this is one of the options for the development of the processes that are appropriate for cervical osteochondrosis.
- Changing the height of the spinal disk (ie its flattening).In frequent cases, the height is reduced due to the reduction in the size of the intervertebral hole.In addition, it is important to note that even a failed rotation of the neck can cause the cervical spine, which results in additional contraction (this is contraction).
Cervical osteochondrosis: Symptoms
Changes with spine with cervical osteochondrosis occur with multiple clinical manifestations.It should be noted that their list can be identified by about three dozen options, and the most interesting and unexpected patients themselves may be the fact that in addition to "traditional" pain in the neck, they should have symptoms that are not fully considered under their first views.For example, not everyone will have pain in the elbow joint, weakness of the feet or visual disorders, as well as other manifestations that we will also try to cover the following.
To present the basic symptoms that may be accompanied by cervical osteochondrosis, we conditionally distinguish them from three main groups, which are defined in the pathological process of the central nervous system.
- I group.This includes the neurological symptoms of the disease, which is seen as its complication that arises due to the effect of the process directly on the discs and nerve roots, as well as on the nerves and plexus (in other words, the process relates to the peripheral section of the nervous system).
- Group II.In this case, we are talking about the symptoms that are relevant to cervical osteochondrosis, which is manifested by the direct effect of the abnormal process on the spinal cord.
- Group III.Symptoms that are directly associated with the processes that are found in the brain with cervical osteochondrosis and, consequently, in cranial nerves, structures and shells of its hemispheres, highway and brain vessels.
In short, each group may be noted that the first group of cervical osteochondrosis is mainly in pain, the second symptoms are in motor disorders, and the third symptoms 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 merging, which does not exclude the possibility of determining the leading groups listed on the basis of symptoms.
Cervical osteochondrosis: Symptoms of the first group
As mentioned earlier, the first group contains symptoms in the form of painful manifestations that occur due to damage to the nervous system of the peripheral section.This includes both permanent pain in the neck (defined as "cervical cervical") and cervical sciatica, cervical lock.In addition, muscle, joint pain (wrist joint, elbow or shoulder joint), may also appear in the chest (which may involve pain in the heart, liver).
It should be noted that neck pain is the first symptom of cervical osteochondrosis and is observed in almost all patients with this diagnosis.Such pains arise in the morning after awakening, intense when trying to move in a state of lies, as well as with laughter, coughing, failing the head, or when sneezing, which is already possible in another position.The nature of pain can be defined as drilling and stupid, in some cases the pain can be shooting, however, despite the specific option, localization of this pain is focused on the deep neck.As for the duration of pain, it can be periodic and permanent.
The pain that stands out in awakening is subject to decrease in its intensity, which occurs during the day, making them complete disappearance.Pain (its distribution) in the shoulder region and on the surface of the neck is not excluded.
Neck muscle tension (moderate), difficulty breathing in the cervical region can also be noted.The acute period of the manifestation of the disease is characterized by a somewhat peculiar posture by patients in which they try to keep themselves slightly on the slope and at the same time on the side.In the event of a shift, the restriction is often observed in the rotational movements performed by the head.
Frequent characteristic symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis are characterized by noise phenomena that are found in their rotation, in a crunchy and coding, allowing you to bring analogue with stone friction.Often in such cases it is possible to diagnose the statute of cervical osteochondrosis, which is excluded in the list of patients listed.
In addition to cervical pain and shutter, osteochondrosis of the cervical region can occur in the cervical and cervical sciatica, these states are characterized by pain in the upper cervical sections and in the shore.Pain enhances is observed in one direction or in another direction of the head, smaller in size, such a manifestation of pain is relevant in other actions.Often the pain is spread by cervical osteochondrosis to the shoulder girdle and on the hands (on one or both).In particular, it occurs at the time of muscle tension, directly related to the specific roots of the nerves, which are contracted by the spine.
It may be noted that cervical sciatica is about 90% in 6 and 7 in cases of root weakening, in 5% in 5 and 8 sections.Thus, the defeat of the sixth section causes the appearance of unpleasant sensations or pain, which is concentrated within the anterior outer surface of the precursor region, with the finger;Including the seventh cervical spine causes unpleasant sensations and pain in the middle finger;Eighth root involvement causes unpleasant sensations and little finger pain.
If the injury affects the upper vertebrates and cervical discs, then this can cause the skin that causes the skin to the skin during the skin.This manifests, therefore, with pain in the pain, they are constant, characterized by periodic reinforcement.Also, the beard area loses sensitivity, a specific point of pain can be manifested in the form of painful seals and stress.
Cervical osteochondrosis often causes the cruise to develop, due to the spasm of the neck muscles, on the background of the head, and the characteristic neck of the neck.In this case, in patients, the head slightly moves to the side/front or side/back.There is virtually no possibility of moving the neck, attempting to turn the head to the head is accompanied by a certain pain in the neck, shoulder or back.
Compression of blood vessels for osteochondrosis, due to this cause of blood supply, causes pulse weakness in the radial artery and pain attacks with the fingers simultaneously.
Another manifestation of cervical osteochondrosis is a complication in which the concentration of pain occurs in the shoulder joint, which is defined as defined asShoulder -Straw Perterritis.It develops due to disruption of the shoulder-lopatic area, which is why gradually dystrophic changes, increasing classes.These disorders appear at the beginning of a painful process that accompanies cervical osteochondrosis, but for a long time they are simply invisible.
The main symptoms of this pathology are joint pain, usually without visible causes, the manifestations of this pain are in enhanced form.Subsequently, abduction in the hands causes pain (mainly from the outer part of the joint), the examination determines painful zones.Due to the patient's desire to provide the rest of the painful limb, the joint becomes tougher in the background of reflex muscle contraction ("frozen shoulder").Subsequently, in the absence of treatment, it is impossible to raise the hand above the horizontal level.
Cervical osteochondrosis: Symptoms of the second group
Symptoms of the second group include syndromes found in the background of cervical lesions of the spinal cord.Two mechanisms can cause it, it is either a compression arising from the drive to the pulpoose nucleus due to its consistency lightness, or spinal cord damage from the solid (long) discs or from the back of the spine to the back of the spine.In women, the first is more common in men - the second mechanism.
Symptoms of this course are often accompanied by weaknesses of the arms and legs, and in the legs there is an increase in tone without losing muscle weight, on the contrary, the tone decreases, the volume decreases.The deviation of sensitive muscles in their hands can also develop, without pain.Most often, such a complication is diagnosed at 40 to 55 years of age, somewhat rarely - in age and less rarely - at a young age.The relevance of such complications can be considered in the presence of a patient with cardiac action disorders (arrhythmias) or atherosclerosis.
Changes in spinal cord are defined asMyelopathyIt develops on the background of abnormal changes in the disk between the 5th and 6th cervical vertebrates.Its development can lead to the development of the spine, excessive excessive exaggeration, affecting the shoulder girdle muscles, as well as negative emotions and alcohol intoxication.
One of the types of manifestation of myelopathy is the disappearance of temperature and pain sensitivity due to the characteristics of the listed clinical manifestations.Consequently, patients lose the ability to feel irritating effects, which in one way or another, in the cervical region, in the upper part of the chest and in the arm (on one side).Thus, the plot that has lost sensitivity has a form of fencing.Along with the listed symptoms, spontaneous pains (disorders, aches) arise from the defeat, weaken the hand.
Another type of cervical osteochondrosis is the "semiconductor disorders" syndrome, which is found in insufficient blood supply to the lateral columns of the spinal cord (its sections).This results in increased fatigue of the lower extremities, which is marked by walking/standing as well as intermittent chromas.The nuns of the hands, as well as their unpleasant sensations (which is important during the day), in some cases, such manifestations are noted in the legs.Coordination is disrupted when closing the eyes.The listed phenomena, despite their permanence, do not limit the possibility of work.
Cervical osteochondrosis: Symptoms of a third group
The third group of symptoms contains brain manifestations, which is considered due to the lack of blood flow to the system, which is responsible for blood on the brain stem.The spine arteries act as the main vessels that form such a system.We emphasize the main types of syndromes that are relevant in this case.
- Hypotalamic syndrome.It is most commonly diagnosed, which is manifested by symptoms, indicating a impaired hypothalamus, or rather, neurotic disorders.It is irritation and increased fatigue, anxiety and touch, mood instability and sleep disorders (its superficiality, sleep is characterized by increased simplicity without rest, difficulties in sleep).Also, the ability to concentrate on something is lost, the ability to remember is reduced, unpleasant sensations often appear in different organs.Severe cases are accompanied by pointless fears, madness, longing, anxiety.Patients are pale, they have limbs cooling, increased sweating, pressure increase and pulse.The appetite, as a sexy drive, decreases, urination becomes rapidly.
- Drops syndrome.It consists of senseless attacks, in the flicker of the patient, with the loss of simultaneous consciousness (possibly without losing it), which is also due to vascular spasms.Restoration of consciousness is sufficiently fast when the patient is inserted in a horizontal position (the head decreases).After the attack, patients have weakness in the legs and breakdown, headaches are possible.
- Vestibular-Bareli syndrome.The only manifestation of the syndrome at the initial stage of the disease is dizziness, which occurs due to the sensitivity of the vestibular apparatus due to lack of blood supply.Nausea and vomiting are possible with certain fluctuations in the eye cavity, instability during walking.
- Cochlear-Barel's syndrome.It is manifested in the ears and noise in the ears, mainly on one side.Hearing can be reduced, ear swelling occurs, mainly the syndrome is associated with the anterior, but its independent course is not excluded.By the way, it is not always easy to identify such symptoms with cervical osteochondrosis.
- SYDROME GWORIGHT-BOARD.The main manifestations include the presence of a foreign object, which causes difficulties during swallowing, as well as this feeling of dry throat with itching.The sound loses its tumor, surviving the larynx and throat, pain in these areas.Fatigue is noted during the conversation, the difficulties of breaks, thick food swallowing with esophageal spasms, and such manifestations are reduced after rest.
- Visual disorders.Different types of visual disorders: "fog" in front of the eyes, a drop in visual gravity, etc., alternating various disorders during the day.
Treat
The complete recovery of the disease that we will discuss is impossible because it is generally focused on slowing the current process and especially on a particular period of the disease.Exacerbations require hospitalization and semi -water regime.
As for drug therapy, it involves the appointment of various types of analgesics, the possibility of using novocaine muscle blockade is not excluded.Along with treatment, the main focus is on vitamin therapy, and muscle calmers can be determined.The effectiveness of the results in the treatment of cervical osteochondrosis is achieved in the use of physiotherapy methods (electrophoresis using anesthetics, ultrasound procedures, etc.).Treatment of cervical osteochondrosis also involves the need to dress the so -called collar collar, massage procedures for remission periods.
The diagnosis of cervical osteochondrosis is made by a neurologist, and in the direction of this specialist, you may get the wrong assumption if necessary to visit laurel, therapist, cardiologist and other specialists.
Migraine is a very common neurological disease accompanied by a pronounced paroxysmal headache.Migraine, whose symptoms are actually pain, are concentrated in one half of the eyes, mainly in the eyes, temples and foreheads, in nausea, and in some cases in vomiting, without reference to brain tumor formations, without serious stroke and head injuries, although this may indicate compliance with certain paths.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (Sokr. Cu) is a condition in which mental and physical weakness, due to unknown factors and lasts six months or more.Chronic fatigue syndrome, whose symptoms are likely to be associated with infectious diseases, are also closely linked to the accelerated pace of life and the increase in information that literally dissolves for their subsequent perception.
Ischemic stroke is an acute type of cerebral cerebral circulation, due to failure of reconstruction in a certain area of the blood, or due to complete termination of this process, in addition, it is damaged by brain tissue.Ischemic stroke, whose symptoms, as well as the disease itself, are most commonly observed among the most common types of cerebrovascular diseases, is the cause of further disability and often fatal consequences.
Avitaminosis is a painful condition that occurs in the human body as a result of severe deficiency of vitamins.Distinguish between spring and winter vitamin deficiency.In this case there are no restrictions on the floor and age group.
Asthenovegetative syndrome (ABC) is an abnormal process in which a functional disorder of the autonomic system is responsible for the functioning of the internal organs.Most often, such a disorder arises as a result of the inability of a person to adequately respond to stressful situations.
With the help of physical exercise and abstinence, most people can do without medicine.
