According to statistics, almost half of people already aged 30 to 55 suffer from osteochondrosis.The threshold of the lower age of the disease in recent years has decreased to 18 years.
What is osteochhandrosis
Spine osteochondrosisIt is expressed in the defeat of the intervertebral album, which loses its elasticity, elasticity, cracks.
Cervical osteochondrosisassociated with damage to discs in the cervical spine.
How the column works
If, for a better understanding, a little simplified the essence, the column device can be described as follows.
The column consists in separate, similar to each other in the form of vertebrae located above the other.
Despite some differences in shape, in the structure of all vertebrae, it is common.There is one hole in each vertebra - all holes are also above another and form a vertical channel (tunnel) that passes through the entire column.
Within this spinal canal, the spinal cord passes.It passes vertically through the holes of each vertebra and its roots (branches, in which sensitive nerve endings) leave the channel between each pair of vertebrae.This is possible because the vertebrae are not lost to each other and are not tight firmly, and between each pair of vertebrae, there is a cartilage - an intervertebral disc.
The wheels along with the ligaments connect the vertebrae with each other and also play the role of the shock absorber.Due to their elastic structure, they are elastic compacted during movements and inclinations of the body (on the slope) or loose (when straightening).Thus, the discs provide flexibility to the spine and smooth the vertical pressure load from top to bottom for each vertebral vertebra of the spine spine, as well as the upward vertical vibrations that occur when walking or running.After all, a person is an upright and unique creature.
This column work is guaranteed if all the load is distributed correctly.Nature created the incredibly stable, resistant and at the same time flexible column.
What if not?
If the shape of the spine, conceived by nature, for some reason is violated (slope, excessive curve in the lower back, scoliosis, smooth feet) or a constant chronic habit of sitting, bedtime, standing, intervertebral compounds, starting to wear out, losing its elasticity, the ability to perform the shock function, is overflowed.They stay sideways, forming a hernia.
The wear of intervertebral discs - there is also a person's reckoning to the vertical.After all, only in humans the column has a vertical load.This vertical squeeze throughout the life of all the components of the spine (especially in overweight people) leads to a gradual deterioration in the blood supply to the intervertebral discs (the vascular direction is squeezed) - the disc loses strength and strength.

The consequences of cervical osteochondrosis
Due to changes in anatomical proportions in the spine, blood vessels (the main arteries and veins) are squeezed.
What is happening:Due to changes in anatomical proportions in the spine, blood vessels (the main arteries and veins) are squeezed.What leads to:
- to a violation of blood flow in the brain and a violation of a complete brain nutrition.
- to a violation of venous output and the accumulation of toxic substances in the brain tissues.
How this manifests itself:
- Dizziness (even loss of consciousness in the short term).
- Headaches.
- Visual impairment.Violation of smell, taste.
- Bulbar disorders associated with the difficulties of swallowing, pronunciation, violation of general respiration and speech.
- Cognitive disorders: impaired memory, perception, complexity with the concentration of attention, complexity with logical thinking.Violation of reading.
- Absent -minkness.Inappropriation.Decreased confusion.Forgetting.
- Difficulties in pronouncing complex and long words, complex grammatical constructions.
- Reduced performance, overwork.
- Violations in the emotional and personal sphere: sharp and irrational mood changes, emotional incontinence, irritability, anger.
Diagnosis: Cognitive disorders, aphasia, dysartria bulbar, devallating encephalopathy, vertebro-male insufficiency (VBN), etc.can be diagnosed. Drug therapy taken in these cases:
- Vascular drugs.They have an extremely low evidence base.They require the use of the doctor and, under the control of a doctor, can cause a large number of different complications and side effects.
- Nootropic drugs.It requires use strictly for the appointment and under the control of a doctor.Many have quite serious indications of the cardiovascular system (with hidden heart pathology, serious negative consequences can cause).Most nootropic have no positive pharmacological result, ie it is useless.
- Sedative effect drugs, including tranquilizers, antidepressants, barbiturates, bromides.Psychotropic drugs.It requires use strictly for the appointment and under the control of a doctor.They can be addictive and have various side effects (dizziness, headaches, visual impairment and urination, dry mouth, nausea, etc. disgraced disorders, a decrease in libido, sleep disorders, a body weight set).
There is a tightening (compression) of nerve roots - nerves from the spinal cord to organs and tissues of the upper body.
What is happening:
There is a tightening (compression) of nerve roots - nerves from the spinal cord to organs and tissues of the upper body.
What leads to: To a pronounced, generally chronic, recurring, pronounced pain syndrome.
How this manifests itself:
- Pain in the neck, rear of the head (with heads of the head or at rest, shots or chronic).
- The headache (headache of the tension associated with the tension of the muscles of the posterior surface of the neck and head of the head - Pain, spilled throughout the head, usually accompanied by noise and tap the ears, flies in front of the eyes).
- Pain in the upper chest.
- Pains that simulate heart pain, lungs.
- Pain on the upper back on the shoulders, shoulders.
- Shoulder joint pain or all hand.
- Numbness of the fingers, hands, hands completely.
Drug therapy taken in these cases:
- Non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (painkillers, antipyretics), requiring the use of strictly for the appointment and under the control of a doctor and have lateral negative reactions of the gastrointestinal tract (gastritis, ulcers, ulcerative bleeding), cardiovascular system, kidneys.
- Preparations that relieve muscle hypertonization, demanding the use strictly for the intended purpose and under the control of a doctor and have side negative reactions in the form of strong dizziness, even completely exhaustive weakness.
The use of drug therapy is the most common practice in the treatment of osteochondrosis.However, this is symptomatic treatment.Drugs are used to stop processes and inflammatory pain (sometimes you need to resort to blockage of novocaine), a decrease in neurological and psycho -emotional symptoms.Most importantly, pharmacological therapy occurs under the rigorous supervision of a doctor.
No entanto, se você não interromper diretamente o processo de violação dos vasos, não restaure o equilíbrio da coluna vertebral e todas as estruturas relacionadas estabelecidas pela natureza (violação da simetria do corpo, pés planos, cólicas musculares que ocorrem como uma reação compensatória ao equilíbrio), a doença não vai a qualquer lugar e em algum ponto não ajuda e não ajuda e não ajuda e não ajuda e não ajuda e não ajuda e não ajuda e não ajuda e não ajuda e não ajuda eDoes not help and do not help and do not help and do not help and do not help and does not help and does not help and does not help and does not help and does not help and does not help and does not help and should not help and do not help and do not help.
Osteopathic treatment aims to eliminate the causes above osteochondrosis, which is now recognized as the most effective.
Osteopathic treatment of osteochhandrosis
Rule # 1 “The sooner, the better” in the case of osteochondrosis, it works especially!After all, healing osteochondrosis - means not extinguishing pain or other syndromes, but restoring the normal position of the spine, to provide the intervertebral disc with lost total nutrition (to return the normal blood supply) even before degenerative processes in cartilaginous tissue will become irreversible.
The osteopath determines the place where the displacement or deformation occurred, discoveredThe reasons for which vessel ships in the spine occurred.Osteopathy considers the body as a single system in which everything is interconnected and affects each other, literally pulls one after another.This means that the osteopath restores the work of all structures, the changes in which in jail led to a violation of the power of the intervertebral disc.The task of the osteopath is to restore the proportion of balance of organs and tissues, eliminate the tensions and staples that interfere with the complete nutrition.And if, in the case of a neglected condition of the disease, changes in the spine structure spill a violation of internal organ work, osteopathic treatment will aim to eliminate emerging dysfunctions.
That is, the osteopath works with the root cause of the disease, not with the elimination of its syndromes, including pain.Although he starts his work with it, with the relief of pain.However, it won't stop there.The best way of osteopathy works in combination with physical therapy (ensures a decrease in pain and inflammatory processes) and physical therapy exercises - exercise therapy (strengthens muscle corset, helps the body remain in an unusual but adequate position).
Conclusions
- The neck cannot be treated frivolously.Since the brain should be supplied with no obstacle nutrition.And it depends on how much the neck is a healthy "driver".
- You can't wait.The more the disease is released, the more difficult it is to reverse (and sometimes impossible).The osteopath is able to determine the disease when it is still in rude and does not manifest itself at all.You should never neglect a diagnostic exam.
- It is impossible to neglect the prevention of osteochondrosis.It is always easier than treating the disease.
