The symptoms of cervical spine osteochondrosis are usually divided into root and reflex.
Osteochondrosis symptoms in the cervical region
Many nerves come out of the spine.They are called spinal nerves.Each of these nerves is gradually branched and follows in a particular area of the body with clearly marked limits.This area is called segmental innervation zone.Each vertebra, disc, nerve and zone have a strictly corresponding number to each other.If the nerve is exposed, the symptoms will appear in the segmental innervation area corresponding to this nerve and no other in an arbitrary location.
The root symptoms of cervical region osteochondrosis include:
- Reduction or loss of reflexes;
- Muscle weakness;
- Impaired sensitivity;
- Pain in the rim.
Not all areas of the cervical spine are also subject to pathologies.Most mobile segments are more likely to suffer: C3 - C4, C4 - C5, C5 - C6 and C6 - C7.According to the principle - "more movements - higher wear".
Cervical segments innervation zones
Osteochondrosis C3 - C4-Encha that the 3rd and 4th cervical vertebrae and the disc between them are affected.At the same time, the 4th spinal nerve, which goes to the neck, suffers.The main signs - sensitivity along the neck circumference decreases.There is discomfort and sometimes pain in this area.
Osteochondrosis C4 - C5-It affects the 5th spinal nerve.The pain of the neck spreads over the shoulder to the upper front of the shoulder.Sensitivity decreases along the external surface of the shoulder.In the same area, numbness occurs.The deltoid muscle is always weakened.
Osteochondrosis C5 - C6- The most common diagnosis.At the same time, the 6th spinal nerve suffers.This is manifested by the pain of the biceps to the thumb and the index finger on the outer surface of the hand.Sensitivity decreases, numbness or "goose bumps" appears in the same area.And there is always a weakness of the biceps.
Osteochondrosis C6 - C7-It affects the 7th spinal nerve.The pain occurs in the triceps area and behind the arm.Sensitivity decreases in the middle fingers and brush ring.Numbness and "goose bumps" may appear in the same area.Necessarily - the weakness of the triceps.
Reflex symptoms of cervical spine osteochondrosis
Pain in the neck, the back of the necklace region - more often in the morning.Difficulty movements, neck crushing.The tension of the neck muscles.Constant painful pains.Headache.Dizziness.Intracranial pressure.Acute pain.Weakness in the hands, numbness, "needles" and "goose bumps".Shoulder pain, sometimes giving under the shoulder blade.Burning between the plates.The burning in the heart - remembers Angina Pectoris.Sometimes pain in the left half of the chest can be given to the left hand.Dormancy of brushes or fingers."Bump" in the area of the seventh cervical vertebra.Bad teeth conditions.Botting quickly visual impairment, temporary darkening or "flies" in the eyes.Reduced vision.Noise or tap the ears.Hearing deterioration.Nausea, sometimes reaching vomiting.Pressure jump.Fainting or fainting.Loss of consciousness.The feeling of a knot in the throat, problems with swallowing.Sore throat.Weakening of the voice or his hoarseness.A feeling of shortness of breath.Sleep disorders, frequent insomnia.Snoring - A consequence of the tension of the neck muscles.The feeling that he had not slept.It's hard to change, especially in the morning.The coordination of the movements is impaired - reflected in the march.General weakness, collapse.Irritability.Quick fatigue.
Symptoms of cervical region osteochondrosis:
- depend on the stage of osteochondrosis
- Intensify with tilt and head of the head
- More often manifests after 35 to 45 years
- In women, they appear about 3 times more often than in men
Obviously, you have realized that root symptoms are determined quite clearly and reflex - they are very blurred and unchanged.And as you know, everything that has no clear definitions serves as a convenient coverage for professional helplessness.This applies to reflex symptoms and this "age -related changes" by doctors.Certainly, many of you are familiar with the situation when the doctor explained the problem with "reflection" or "age" processes.Most people at these times they rightly believe that the doctor simply cannot find out what is happening and trying to blame their incompetence in the fog of these "magic words."
At the same time, the phrase was popular: "Each accident has a name, surname and position."Therefore, 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 osteochondrosis of the cervical region.Now you understand how important it is to find an experienced and experienced doctor.The correct diagnosis and treatment results will depend on it.
When choosing a clinic - the main thing is to reach an experienced and experienced doctor.
The diagnosis of cervical osteochondrosis is the key to proper treatment
To date, there are several modern methods of osteochondrosis hardware diagnostic.The most accurate of them are magnetic resonance imaging and CT.But the main method is still a clinical diagnosis and is when an experienced doctor compares the data from at least three sources of the patient's complaints, the results of the magnetic resonance imaging and the symptoms he revealed during the exam.This allows you to make a diagnosis as accurate as possible and form an effective individual treatment program.
Treatment of cervical spine osteochondrosis
As far as you understand, osteochondrosis is a "ball of symptoms" of symptoms, which, having unfolded, what the doctor will save you from pain and torment.But it is not possible to eliminate changes in vertebrae and records.Therefore, the words "treatment of osteochondrosis" should be understood correctly.If you are interested in eliminating pain and other sufferings, then yes - this is quite possible.And if you conduct an academic discussion on the subject of returning to the vertebrae and records of primitive species, "like a newly wide child," so there is no - the past cannot be returned.You need to be realistic and will not fall into the scammers bait.
- Do not enter the bait of the scammers!
- It is impossible to go back to vertebrae and records - it is impossible!
What treatment method is considered the main thing?
Smooth manual therapy is the main type of treatment for cervical spine osteochondrosis.She, as an antibiotic with pneumonia, can't be without him.The other types - massage, medicines, physiotherapy and exercise therapy - are auxiliary.
How does smooth manual therapy work?
Drill nutrition is directly related to muscles around cervical vertebrae.In addition, neck muscles are one of the constituent causes of pain in cervical region osteochondrosis.Smooth manual therapy are special methods that allow muscles to return their natural physiology, eliminate cramps, muscle staples and improve disc nourishment.
Intervertebral discs are the only part of the body that has no blood vessels and feeds on the proper functioning of the muscles.
In addition, conducting treatment with the help of the hands, the doctor's manual therapist:
- It will remove the load from the affected vertebrae and discs and will distribute it correctly;
- Relax the muscles and will help them return to the normal state.
Thanks to this:
- will save the patient from staples;
- improve the power of discs;
- will restore the motor functions of the body;
- normalizes blood circulation.
Manual exposure mobilizes the internal forces of the body and triggers self -of -time mechanisms.The treatment is absolutely safe.
Prevention of cervical spine osteochondrosis
To avoid relapse, create convenient conditions for sleeping and work.Follow your weight and proper nutrition.Support your physical activity.But the main thing is that you need not neglect your health and not save on it.Do not let the case be gravity.After recovery, try to do at least one smooth manual therapy support session once every three to six months-this will reduce risk factors.Do not forget, neglected osteochondrosis leads to complications - protrusion and hernia of the disc.Remember: Your health, first of all, you need!
Performed osteochondrosis leads to complications - protrusion and hernia of the disc.
