The abnormal changes in the articular cartilage, which results in the dystrophy of intervertebral discs of the cervical region, is called osteochondrosis.The disease occurs for a variety of reasons, has similar symptoms of other diseases, is not always recognized and full of hidden threat to human health, so it needs competent prevention.
What is Cervical Spine Dangerous Osteochondrosis?
The spinal column is the support of the whole body and needs care.
Not surprisingly, they say - the spine should be protected!
The cervical section is, on the one hand, the most mobile part of the spine.At the same time, it is quite vulnerable, subject to mild damage due to the poorly developed cervix and the anatomical characteristics of the spine structure.
- First, cervical vertebrates differ in structure.
- Secondly, the proximity of their location determines the transmission of nerves and blood vessels, even in the case of a slight spine.
In particular, vessels, in particular the spine arteries and nerve fibers, pass through the transverse vertebral holes and are actively involved in brain innervation.Weakening of blood vessels deprives the brain of blood supply and this can lead to severe brain disorders.
In addition, deformity of nerve roots and vascular plexus can cause the spinal disc to move.Moreover, it usually leans back or side by side, which is full of hernia formation.At this point, the disc maintains its integrity, but the danger is in the direction of the hernia, inside the intervertebral channel.
In the next step, degeneration affects the spine joints.There is an increase in bones around them, which gradually covers the lamps of the canals that exist between the vertebrates.
You should keep in mind that the cervical region's channels are much narrower than the anatomical structure than in other parts of the spine.Thus, the slightest protrusion of the disk is enough for compression.Blood vessels and nerve formations contract, the muscles are overly tense in response to irritation, the spine pressure is enhanced.
The processes described cause abnormal ischemic consequences, as the spinal cord and brain suffer that do not receive the necessary nutrition.
Why does the disease develop?
Previous attitudes towards osteochondrosis as an older disease that has symptoms, increasing with age, and has changed another, topical today.The disease was obviously "young".Doctors are referring to physicians characteristic of osteochondrosis, young people under the age of 18 and even children under the age of 30-35 and even children.
Universal computerization and wide management of the car help to fill the rows of patients with cervical osteochondrosis.
Among the many causes of the disease, the main
- Inadequate physical exercise, especially with the integrity of the bone muscle system.
- Sowerate, sedentary (long sitting behind the wheel or monitor screen on TV) lifestyle.
- Hereditary factor.
- Positive disorders, including flat legs.
- Excessive weight of the body.
- The spine curve, including damage due to fractures or bruises.
- The long -term person in a stressful state.
- Bad ecology.
- Hypothermia, as well as infectious injury.
- The disadvantage of vitamins, trace elements.
- Lack of fluid in the body.
- Wearing heavy cargo.
- Stay for a long time in an internally clumsy condition when the cervical spine is loaded (including the "wrong" pillow during sleep).
- Congenital volatility of the vertebrates.
The factors listed are the fact that a person is starting to problems with the neck as Roose's syndrome develops.Due to degenerative changes in the body, the cartilage tissue of the intervertebral discs loses its congenital elasticity, physiologically normal size and shape.
A person begins to have headaches, neck pain, dizziness, flickering in the eyes of the "owls", ears in the ears, and many other symptoms, when you should urgently consult your doctor to determine the exact diagnosis!
Prevention
Prevention of cervical osteochondrosis consists of a competent workplace organization, and with the entire work process, the right diet, swimming, yoga, simple gymnastics exercises and massage, a night vacation on the pillow that repeats the physiological bend of the neck.
- Swim and yogaCervical spine is an excellent prevention of osteochondrosis.You can get involved in them or under the supervision of an experienced coach.
- A nourishing dietIt should consist of fruits, vegetables, pure drinking water, vitamins, calcium and magnesium -rich products daily.You should not abuse fatty, salty, smoked, alcohol, tobacco.It is advisable to exclude products that promote excess weight, swelling, as well as poor body removal.
- Any job implementation mode should be organized so that the five-minute pauses every 45-60 minutes to pause, filling them with physical and breathing exercises.
- During a physical warm period, you must move, move, tilt it forward, go back to the sides, up and down.
Neck circular rotational movements are not recommended!They can cause neck injury!
It is also recommended to draw a spine.Exercise is convenient to stand on the back or to stand, with the efforts of the arms and legs in the opposite direction, so that the whole body, along with the spine, is length.
Squats and deviations are also useful.
You have to choose simple exercises and perform them according to age and your power as much as possible!
Gymnastics is aimed at resting on the neck muscles, shoulder muscles, removing excessive muscle tension, which occurs in a long monotonous state of the case, as well as strengthening the cervical muscle corset.In this case, the mobility of the spine and blood flow to the entire collar area improves.
Gymnastics should be done regularly, each exercise should be done 5-8 times, observing its feelings.
When performing a physical education complex, there should be no pain!
- The nearby plate or perosing of the zone can be performed or to help with massage.
- Without damage to high quality, night sleep or daylight, anatomically correct form of orthopedic pillow, which helps to relax the head and neck muscles.A well -chosen pillow protects the nerves and blood vessels.
Prevention of cervical osteochondrosis is important for students, school teens, and anyone who has long been on a computer, at a table or in a car, sitting!
If you have children, it is very important from early childhood to monitor the correctness of their posture and replace it with the slightest disorders or curves.This is also an effective prevention of cervical osteochondrosis.
