Osteokondrozis cervical disease degenerative changes which turned out to be the vertebral column, intervertebral disks. During the first development stage, the symptoms is almost invisible, but with the spread in the disease process, the patient's condition worsens.
The causes of the disease
Osteochondritis occurs as a result of the uneven load on the spine. Precipitating factors:
- heavy physical load;
- wearing the wrong shoes;
- malnutrition;
- the problem of foreign exchange transactions;
- neural and emotional exhaustion.
The disease that can occur during carrying a child. Large the risk of multiple pregnancy. Pathological process, it can be known as genetics.
Developmental stage and photo
Development, degenerative disc disease, dies a slow death. There are 4 main stage disease:
- In the first stage. Patient discomfort, prolonged stay in their walking and posture. Seal form vertebral discs.
- In the second stage. The resulting pain. Doctor prescribed manual therapy and pain relievers.
- In the third stage. It is observed that degenerative changes of intervertebral disks.
- The fourth stage. Last, the developmental stage of the disease, the spine of almost all sections of the fans.
In the last stage, conservative treatment will be ineffective. Doctor prescribed holding a surgical intervention that requires a long recovery.
General symptoms
Several chapters to cover one or osteochondritis of the spine. The most commonly affected vertebrae, cervical. Clinical symptoms, such a deviation directly job-related brain. Consider the main symptoms of this disease.
Pain, neck, neck-and-neck in the area
Emerging patients often have neck pain, occipital and neck areas. Ayse caused by insufficient blood flow in brain sections. Vertebral artery compression of the spine leads to warp. Background degenerative processes such as hernia may occur.
Together, the sensation of pain caused by the danger of serious complications. For example, crashes, blood pressure, and vision or hearing. Patients sometimes resulting in panic attacks and anxiety. For them the last 30 minutes. The base of such a situation is called a syndrome.
Another reason pain – spasm Nov, causes a decrease of blood flow. The possibility of losing the patient to temporarily wiggling neck. A strong excess causes pain, and can spread to the head neck can flow starts with the nape. As a result, such operations that the patient's severe migraine headaches.
Noise, tinnitus, feeling of ear stuffiness
Such a symptom complex called Cochlear or cochlear. Doctors always deviations as a tie, with the development of cervical degenerative disc disease.
Noise and tinnitus will occur, whereby a position or long-term, a discovery posture.
Dizziness
The cervical vertebrae are quite thin, so while keeping the head exposed is a heavy burden. They are further subject to deformation, more thoracic vertebrae. As a result, deviations in the resulting dizziness can be:
- System. Current in a circular motion, emotion, the body and surrounds the objects. Due to this failure is caused by vestibular, and joint receptors Nov.
- Not System. The patient's current a feeling of faintness, some stun unsafe condition upright. There is a circular rotation of emotion.
When it occurs, such a symptom should see a doctor immediately. Reasons for the admission of emergency patients:
- numbness the shoulder portion;
- paralysis of the facial muscles;
- loss of consciousness;
- severe headache.
The spasm causes the spine and nourishes the brain nerves impingement offset Nov. Dizziness that arise due to the lack of oxygen. Initially, owing to the lack of oxygen occurs in the occipital scalp, this central vestibular.
Lack of air
Osteochondrosis insufficient air may be of various types: respiratory problems and lack of oxygen. Breath pinched nerve pharynx esophagus the legitimate transmit signals on a floor in the hotel.
Due to lack of air is the result of a pinched nerve. As a result the result of a spasm of the diaphragm, a change full of the depth and rhythm of breathing. Sick, stuffy and difficult breathing.
This is a serious shortness of breath as a symptom of osteochondrosis dangerous developments a number of other complications. In this case, the doctor prescription medication, etc is treated with.
Nausea
Cervical – most sensitive because of its existing structure, numerous nerve fibers and blood vessels. Neck artery passes passes oxygen and nutrients to the brain. The protrusion of a cervical osteochondrosis and spinal hernia.
The rear structures of the brain, insufficient arterial blood enters. This triggers compensatory reactions. Leads to narrowing of the arteries and increases blood pressure. Thanks to the patient a feeling of nausea occurs.
If he re-structures the brain the rear the bloodstream, the patient vomiting and loss of consciousness. The development of long stroke and cerebrovascular event filled with more disabled.
Vision problems
Double vision may occur in patients with neck osteochondrosis, shallots, and tremors. At the beginning of the testimony they have serious illnesses and degenerative disc disease on the background of the display. Among these are the following:sickness
- glaucoma;
- cataract;
- disease Claude Bernard-Horner.
Very important to follow the changing view of the situation. This can increase your risk of major health problems.
Blood pressure horses
May appear initially, horse racing has to do blood pressure and osteochondritis. However, this is not correct. Degenerative changes in the spine there is a the autonomic nervous system.
Horse racing is seen in one day. Such a disease are not typical for long-term hypertension.
Of reflex irritation of the nerve endings caused by hypertension uretralnie speaker hopping the log and short-term krovenosnyh vessels spasm.
High blood pressure during symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis:
- severe headache;
- in horse racing, the pressure, the stress, or NOV to voltage;
- the pain, the limbs: arms, legs, etc.;
- low sensitivity in the neck area.
A sudden fainting, or squirrels status
Sudden termination of blood flow to the spinal arteries may arise as a result of a blackout short-term. If the patient must head on foot to get have lost consciousness. This activated the flow of blood to the brain. Problems that may occur later fainting, speech and movement.
Pharyngeal problem
Sometimes degenerative the cervical spine can show only about the formation pharyngeal symptoms. Manifest through them:
- difficulty swallowing;
- a tickling throat;
- sensation, foreign body in the throat;
- itching.
The symptoms of this type-related trauma, neuro-vascular trunks, to go with the spinal cord. However, these symptoms are observed only osteochondrosis, at the same time, inflammation and tumors.
An increase in temperature, body
Body temperature rises a cervical osteochondrosis. Languages such a symptom is the result of lesions:
- vertebral artery syndrome;
- disk bulge outward;
- spinal stenosis the spinal canal.
Neurosis may be provoked by increased body temperature, neurological zabolevanie and fibromyalgia syndrome. Sometimes more than one pathological cases severe symptoms of degenerative disc disease.
Findings-dependent disease stage
- In the first stage, symptoms of the disease may be observable. Degenerative processes of the first symptoms began: headache, light weight limit motor activity, neck, headache, discomfort, neck and arms. It is these symptoms that become, or head to the slopes.
- Protrusion of vertebral discs begins in the second development stage, the brain begins to narrow the gap. Will, than the pain that is visible, tinnitus and sleep disorder.
- The third stage degradation of the disc annulus fibrosus different. Herniation of the cervical spine sprains and emerging offset.
- In the fourth stage, the most degenerative changes are irreversible.
Which emerged with a brain?
Symptoms may be in the brain, or very little. Reveal brain abnormalities vertebral bone just strong clamping protrusions. As a result, access problems, blood, head, brain, and small vessels spasms and corruption that provokes the hypothalamus.
You may experience soreness a cervical osteochondrosis:
- Hypothalamic. It might be a neurological and physical.
- Syncope and drop syndrome. Weakness in the legs as they appear and feels sick, and loses consciousness for a few minutes.
- Vestibular-root. During the common to turn in head dizziness.
As a result, degenerative processes, such as the patient works to prevent. common places are. Its appearance these unfounded fears and depression.
The differences in men and women
Almost no symptoms it is different for men and women, cervical chondrosis. The reason that degenerative changes in the anatomical structure of the cervical vertebrae is more common in women, cervical. The cervical muscles in men with advanced, the better.
Chondrosis spine, children and adolescents
Chondrosis spine, children and adolescents due to the result of global developmental delay and connective tissue. This can be as a result of genetic abnormalities or disorders of Mineral Metabolism. Rudimentary intervertebral discs vulnerable to different pathological processes.
The result is due to illness, and a sedentary lifestyle, prolonged sitting at a computer and the presence of excess weight. The disease degenerative disc disease symptoms similar to adult symptoms. When resulting to cervical spine pain, stiff neck, dizziness, seizures, and migraine.
Diagnosis
First, prescription diagnosis and treatment of normal, a doctor, having a series of diagnostic surveys. Conducted external audit, posture prediction and studied the state of the Nov.
Computed tomography
Computed tomography of bone tissue that gives you the opportunity to see 3D projection. According to the principle of the meeting, such a procedure similar to an X-ray. However, such a diagnosis allows you to see layer-by-layer image.
Such a transaction cannot be made available, such as children and pregnant high-dose X-ray irradiation. The lack of include the following number of contraindications, the patient's abilities in a position always fixed within a few minutes.
X-ray
X-ray diagnosis of degenerative disc disease is assigned to a classic process. He almost harmless and allow you to assess the degree of degenerative changes. Using such a technique that can determine in the early stages of the disease.
An X-ray does not get the layer image of the affected tissue. A series of more modern inspection methods and informative. X-rays for the primary diagnosis.
Without timely treatment of osteochondritis may cause irreversible degenerative changes to a dangerous disease and disability. At the first stage may be available, just a slight inconvenience. As the disease process progresses, the symptoms are more intense. The first symptoms of the lesion of the spine go to the doctor immediately.
