Osteocartilage of the cervical vertebra

Cervical osteochondrosis is some malnutritional changes in the cervical intervertebral disc.

Not only the disc itself, but also the vertebrae, cartilage and cartilage fabrics are also exposed to negative effects.The main feature of the cervical region is that its vertebrae is not the most reliable structure compared to other departments, which makes the area very fragile.The vertebrae here are located near each other, as well as those arteries powered by the human brain.

If vertebrae displacement occurs, the probability of squeezing the nerve bundle and artery is high, which will inevitably occur between the vertebrae and the protrusion, i.e., changes in the structure of the spinal disc.

What's this?

Osteocartilage degeneration in the cervical vertebrae (Hondroz) is a degenerative nutritional injury to the vertebrae disc, which damages the joints in the wheels, vertebrae and cervical vertebrae area, and the decrease in the height of the disc was observed.If not treated, the disease can cause headaches, circulatory diseases and even hernia.Like osteoporosis, this disease occurs due to invasion of mineral metabolism, so bones and joints become longer lasting.

Osteochondrosis can cause cervical instability (symptoms and treatments are similar to chondrosis, but with many characteristics), often accompanied by displacement of the vertebrae.This in turn accelerates the development of osteocartilage degeneration and destroys vertebrates.

stage

The attending physician must determine the development level of cervical osteochondrosis based on the tumor and the patient's examination.Only four degrees:

1. First degree.The disease itself is behavior, with a slight pain in the neck, which can be even more intense if a person starts turning his head.
2. Second degree.Patients can complain about very severe pain in the cervical area and can be positioned on the upper limbs.Clinical conditions show that at this stage of disease development, the nerve bundle is pinched, which can cause severe pain.Also noted are headaches, weakness and general discomfort.
3. The third degree.The pain is almost constant and succumbs to the shoulders or arms.In some patients, a hernia of the intervertebral disc is diagnosed, resulting in loss of upper limb sensitivity.When examining the doctor, a significant reduction in the cervical spine movement and palpation were observed.
4. Fourth degree.At this stage of the disease, the disc is almost completely destroyed.Instead, connective tissue is replaced, causing the patient's condition to worsen.He began to feel pain, noise in his head and poor direction in space.This suggests that the arteries are pinched, which can interfere with the brain's natural nutrition.

Symptoms of cervical vertebrae

Important symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis are dizziness, headache and blood pressure.

Diagnosis of the disease is difficult, pain sometimes does not show up, and symptoms are eliminated in nature, and uncontrolled use of strong analgesics masks the signs of the disease.A patient who does not feel pain considers himself healthy and therefore continues until the development of an irreversible process in the neck joint tissue.

Headache for cervical bone and chondropathy

This is one of the most common nonspecific signs of many human diseases.Headache is particularly common among women.It can be difficult to determine the cause of a headache, especially by connecting it to spinal lesions.About 14 different causes of headaches in humans were detected.

The most common causes of headaches we describe in pathology:

1. Brain spasm;
2. pinch of nerve roots;
3. Reflexes of intracranial pressure increase.

Headache in cervical osteochondrosis can be similar to arterial hypertension, angina or stroke.In addition, there is usually a risk of stroke or heart attack in middle-aged and older people.

Feeling pain can be paroxysmal, constant, pulsating and stupid.

With the pathology of the heart, patients complain about unpleasant sensations in the chest area, accompanied by impaired rhythms of heart activity.Only qualified doctors can determine the cause.If a headache occurs, combined with nausea, dizziness and pain, an electrocardiogram must be done.

Dizziness in cervical osteochondrosis

This condition does not always clearly indicate osteochondrosis in the cervical spine.

Dizziness may be a result:

1. Inflammation in the middle or inner ear;
2. Brain spasm;
3. Violating the transmission of nerve impulses;
4. Issues of vestibular equipment;
5. Diseases of the cardiovascular system.

There is no clear standard for osteochondrosis.However, there are systemic and non-systemic dizziness, and they have obvious differences.

It is recommended to understand the differences between systemic and non-systemic dizziness, which will help to independently determine the cause of abnormal states:

1. Systemic dizziness is the circular sense of motion of surrounding objects or bodies, which is the result of violating vestibular devices, visual analyzers and receptors in joints, muscles and epidermis (osomal cartilage of various causes);
2. Non-play dizziness is a sensation of censorship, a deafening feeling, in an uncertain state in an upright position.With non-systemic dizziness and no sense of circular rotation, this is an important difference between comparing symbols.

A person who feels one of these specific types of dizziness should be examined by an experienced doctor, first a neuropathologist, or (if ear disease and nasopharyngeal disease are suspected) an otolaryngologist.

The cause of emergency hospitalization that is not related to cervical vertebrae bone is that such characteristics (except dizziness) in the patient tested are:

1. paralysis of facial muscles and numbness of shoulder straps;
2. Headache in the context of deterioration of the well;
3. Violations of coordination of actions;
4. Loss or extinction of consciousness.

Blood pressure of cervical vertebrae

The relationship between cervical osteocartilage degeneration and blood pressure jumping has been established for a long time.The cervical spine has important nerve ends and blood vessels.

A surge in stress is a characteristic of daytime.Prolonged hypertension is not a characteristic of this disease.Reflex stimulation at the end of the nerve and short-term cramps in the blood vessels can lead to daily dynamics of arterial hypertension.

A unique feature of increased cervical osteocartilage op muscle pressure is combined with the following symptoms:

• Headache;
• Pain in the limbs and chest;
• Reduced sensitivity in the clavicle area;
• Pressure, muscle tone, long-term stay in uncomfortable positions and other similar situations, pressure jump occurs.

These signs should take into account the various independent distinctions of Genesis hypertension.

The sharp jumps in blood pressure and rapid deterioration in the well are the basis for seeking emergency medical help.

Osteochondral syndrome

The clinical picture of cervical osteochondrosis is in several syndromes.This syndrome is a simultaneous symptom.

Osteochondrosis includes the following syndromes:

1. Spine.It is also called vertebrae, indicating that bone and cartilage tissue are involved in pathological processes.This leads to the formation of this symptoms: limitations of neck motor activity, soreness in turns, and radiological changes in the cervical vertebrae diagram.These signs are vertebral syndrome at the same time.Similar clinical signs have been observed for myositis (pathology of muscle tissue) and many other pathological painful exercises.
2. Vertebral artery syndrome.When the vascular bundle participates in the process, it occurs, which leads to the blood supply to the central nervous system tissue.Symptoms indicate that brain tissue has stopped receiving proper nutrition.How to identify this syndrome?The first sign is dizziness, the sense of noise in the ears, the difference in blood pressure, the appearance of the "veil" in front of the eyes.This suggests that one of the vertebrates is strangled.Each ship has its own nerve end.If you squeeze those who dominate vertebral artery, migraine, numbness, on the one hand, short-term vision reduction.As a result, changes in blood vessels lead to the fact that the brain needs oxygen.Currently, a person feels lethargic, short-term invasion of consciousness, loses attention and control, works worse, and remembers information.Through such a clinical situation, it is necessary to distinguish cervical osteocartilage with atherosclerosis of the vertebral artery and squeeze the tumor or inflammation.
3. Heart syndrome.It is manifested by burning the chest (the appearance of shortness of breath).A person feels his heartbeat often and becomes tired and irritable.This picture is also a feature of cardiology pathology of angina, coronary syndrome, heart attack.Exact conclusions about the causes of such symptoms can be drawn after the patient passes ECG.
4. Rook syndrome.The cervical department innervates eight pairs of nerves, each of which exits from the vertebrae.When they are involved in osteochondrosis, patients will feel less sensitive or vice versa.Is it possible to observe its soreness, reduced tongue sensitivity, frozen areas, and whether pain in interactive areas can cause numbness.Sometimes there are diseases of swallowing, movement on the belt on the upper limbs, and numb fingers.

First aid at home, osteochondrosis worsens

With severe pain syndrome, pain medications such as anal, tempalgin or baralgin can be used.If the above medications do not bring relief, you can take NSAID (NISE or DICLOFENAC).

Usually, “distraction” means are used, such as a kind of pepper that cannot heal, but only hears the inflamed area and distracts the painful ones.In terms of edema in the inflammatory area, patients can drink herbs or diuretics for 3-4 days.Is it possible to cure bone cartilage in this way?These measures are only temporary.To treat the cause, you must consult a doctor.

It should be noted which doctors treat osteochondrosis.If the cause of cervical pain is suspected to be the occurrence of osteochondrosis, then you should turn to a neuropathologist.It is this expert who works on this disease.In some medical facilities, stenosis specialists are involved in precise diseases of the spine.If your clinic has a vertebralist, you should immediately address the problem of how to cure the disease.

How to treat osteochondrosis in the cervical vertebrae?

In the initial stages of development, osteochondrosis can be cured without medication, which is sufficient to modify the diet, daily regimen, and perform special exercises regularly.Effective treatment is possible only when various drugs that help pause degenerative changes in the vertebrae are used.

The complex of treatment measures must include physical therapy - electrophoresis treated with medication, ultrasound, magnetic therapy, laser treatment.These methods help deal with pain, inflammation, tissue swelling, and improve metabolic processes and blood circulation.

Drug treatment

The main methods for treating cervical osteochondria are drug treatment, physical therapy, and cervical area massage. Gymnastics is especially effective in the treatment of cervical osteochondria.The main groups of drugs used in the disease include:

Name	Principles of action
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS).This is Voltaren, Nise, Movalis, Ketonal, Ketanov, Diclofenac, Nimesulide, etc.	Reduce pain syndrome and help relieve sterile inflammation and edema of damaged nerve roots.
Drugs that improve the rheological properties of blood and blood flow.This is eufillin, trental.	Improves nutrition from damaged nerve roots and improves blood flow to the brain.
The vitamins in group V are Kombilipen, Unigma, Milgamma, Neurobion.	Improve metabolic processes in neural tissues.
musorelaxant.This is Midokalm, Sirdalud, Tizalud, Tizanidine, etc.	These medications can relieve muscle cramps.
Cartilage protector.This (glucosamine and chondroitin) is Arthra, Theflex, Doppelgerz, Zhabius Stone, Condronov, Structure, Alflutop.	These are drugs to restore cartilage tissue, including in the damage to the disc.

When receiving tablets from osteochondrhodin, it should be remembered that the significant effects of drug treatment will only occur when the tablets are combined with other methods, including exercise.It should also be noted that the attending physician must prescribe rather than treating the disease based on the stage and other signs of the disease.
