How to treat osteoarthritis of the cervical spine?

Neck pain

The problem of cervical joint disease today is very suitable.There is no secret that in the modern world each second person or the third person has cervical joint disease.And doctors often cannot help anyone, because they do not have the necessary knowledge and do not see anything wrong with osteoarthritis.Like, "What can you do, now he is."

In fact, osteoarthritis is not as simple as it seems.Yes, of course, he did not cause death.But he headed into the lives of millions of people who did not know how to treat it.But everything is really on the surface ... Therefore, if you have problems with cervical joint disease, read this page carefully to the end!

Here you will learn about what is cervical joint disease, exactly how it develops, what is dangerous and of course, how it can be cured.

What is Osteochondrosis of cervical spine?

Osteochondrosis cervical, in a scientific language, is a chaotic process that affects the disc and cartilage of intervertebral joints, finally related to the vertebra body in this process.And the task of the treatment process is to stop this process, and then completely return!

But before talking directly about treatment, you need to deal with the causes of this process.In the end, nothing arises like that.For each phenomenon in our lives, there is a certain reason or a number of reasons.

Causes of cervical joint disease

Osteochondrosis of uterine cervical spine under the influence of reasons similar to osteoarthritis of other parts, endocrine exchange, infectious, toxic, etc.

Currently, cervical joint disease can be determined in each second person.This is due to the fact that we live in urbanization conditions, in the era of development and social networks.While you read, write, work, communicate via computer, neck in an incorrect position, an incorrect position.

In addition, continuous stress related to work and other issues also affect the condition of the neck.When a person was in a state of depression, he bent down and lowered his head.Therefore, your neck once again undertakes your problems.You do not relax, and your neck, according to that, does not relax.

Because of this, your neck muscles are constantly stressed, the pressure increases inside the cervical spine, the circuits are spasms and nerve ends.

Do not ignore your neck and pay attention to each signal it.In the end, cervical joint disease is the most dangerous, because only it can be complicated so often (syndrome) likeSpinal artery syndrome, periarthrosis, Royshift syndrome and front stair syndrome.

We will talk about these syndrome a bit below.Meanwhile, let's see if the cervix is different from the rest of the spine and in the development of osteoarthritis as a prerequisite for the development of these syndrome.

  1. Cervical spineMost mobile.He is characterized by all types of full motion.These are prerequisites for infringing and subluxus acts often!
  2. There are holes in the horizontal processes of the vertebrae to form a channel through thereVertebral arteriesThat provides brain, cerebellar, hearing organs, as well as vertebrae with oxygen and nutrients.These are prerequisites for frequent clamps of arteries and nerves.
  3. The disc is placed between the vertebraeNot transparent.In front of them, there are protruding edges of the vertebrae, connected by joints.These are prerequisites for the appearance of sublimation of joints.
  4. The interatorebral holes of the three lower vertebrae are not round, but areTriangular shape.These are prerequisites to violate nerve roots with bone development formed with osteoarthritis.
  5. In the cervical area is importantLymph nodes (buttons) of autonomous nervous system.

Here are the main features that we will build and analyze the symptoms and complications of osteoarthritis.But to start, I will tell you how to develop osteoarthritis of the cervical spine so you can clearly imagine the whole picture.

Cervical bone development mechanism

Intervertebral disc is the starting place.Under the influence of the above reasons, the pulpoose core (central part) of the disk begins to lose moisture.Leg ring (disc frame) is thinner, loss of elasticity, Vicrocracks appear.As a result, disk function supports, repair and shock.

The load on the basic vertebrae increases gradually, and then the process moves to the main vertebra itself.Vicrocracks appear in it and the addition of bone growth of bone cells formed to increase its surface area to increase the load.

Osteophytes can be formed on the rear surface, thus tightening the nerve roots, or on the side surface, tightening the vertebra artery.

The stability between the violated vertebrae is why subluxations may appear in intervertebral joints.The neck muscles are stressed to compensate and support the vertebrae in the previous position.

But over time, the muscles are tired to support the spine, and once again the load increases on the affected vertebrae, helping to support further progression.

Therefore, a vicious cycle is formed in which the main links -The spine is damaged and spasm- They affect each other and therefore, support the process of osteoarthritis.

This is the main place of symptoms of cervical joint disease causing many problems for millions.

Symptoms (signs) of cervical joint disease

Symptoms of cervical bone significantly are familiar to those who have experienced the entire "charm" of the development of this process.The most common signs that you have cervical joints are as follows:

  • The ability to move limited in the neck
  • Pain or discomfort in the neck
  • The mandatory position of the head
  • A type of "brittle" in the neck when turning
  • The tension of the neck muscles

These things, assuming, the symptoms of "cervical bones are in its purely form", without complications.The remaining symptoms developed were the result of compression (compression) of nerve roots and blood vessels and stimulating the reflection of the nerve fibers of the spinal cord.Specific syndrome only for cervical bone disease occurs.Look at them more detailed:

Valent artery syndrome

The syndrome of the vertebral artery is developed as a result of the mechanical compression of the artery with muscle growth or bone tension by osteoporosis.Sometimes it can develop due to artery spasms with irritation of nerve fibers from the spinal cord to the artery.

The vertebra artery enters the skull and providing brain, cerebellum, hearing organs with oxygen and nutrients, so with its compression, anemia occurs, and all its parts suffer.Therefore, the signs of the syndrome of the vertebra artery are as follows:

  • Paroxysmal headaches start with the back of the head and spread to the forehead, temples and ears.They can take the first half.
  • The pain rises with turns or tilting heads, with sitting with the tension of the neck muscles.
  • Hearing and vision violations: The bell and noise in the ears, hearing loss, dizziness, blinking flies before my eyes.
  • Serious feeling in mind, dizziness, sleep disorders, memories.

Shoulder -Hilder periarthrosis

The universal periarthrosis is a lesions for the perpendicular soft tissue of the shoulder joint and tongue, especially muscles and tendons.It develops as follows:

  • Stimulating plant nerve fibers occurs due to the destruction of the disk
  • This stimulation is in the form of impulses to a close joint - shoulder
  • In perpendicular tissues, trophy (nutrition) is disturbed, affecting the functions of the joints.

As a result, the following symptoms of the role of Periarthrosis developed:

  • Pain in the shoulder joint surrendered to the hand and neck
  • The abduction of hand to one side is limited and painful
  • The increased pain lies in the pain
  • Over time, muscle atrophy of the shoulder and shoulder blades may develop

Rook syndrome

Rooerer syndrome is developed due to the compression of nerve roots with bone growth by bone cells, manifested by an acute cutting pain, spreading to forearms on small fingers or fingers.It can be accompanied by a sense of paralysis or cow cow.

It is worth noting that this complexity is less common than anyone else.

Previous stair syndrome

To start, I note that the staircase in the front goes from 3 and 4 vertebrae through the neck of the neck and is attached to the first ribs.At the side, the intermediate staircase is also attached to the edge.As a result, a distance is formed between these muscles, thereby the nerve and artery shoulders under the skin.

Now let's see how the staircase first develops:

  • Stimulating plant nerve fibers occurs due to the destruction of the disk
  • Stimulating in the form of pulse enters the front staircase
  • Muscle is spasm and squeeze

Signs of the front stair syndrome are as follows:

  • Pain from pain to sharp, spread to forearms and brushes
  • The pain increased when the head leaned towards healthy, when the hand was resigned

Symptoms on part of the clamping artery - cooling the hands, numbness, swelling.

What is common between all syndrome?

We have checked the development mechanism, the symptoms of the cervical bone and all its most common complications.Did you notice the common point between all these processes?

If not, I will tell you:

In all processes, an important factor is related - spasm!

They can:

  • Squeeze the vertebra or nerve plexus,
  • weaken the function of the shoulder joint,
  • Send your signal to your spasm
  • Therefore, transferred to the cervical area is damaged and maintains the progression of osteoarthritis.

Yes, the muscles perform these actions under the influence of infringed and irritated nerve roots.But they also send a signal to the nervous system on the principle of feedback, support the pathology or eliminate it.Yes, it is eliminating.

All this depends on the state of the muscle:

  • If it is spasm, it will send a pathological impulse (with osteoarthritis) and support progression
  • If it trains (alternating relaxation and decreasing, restoring its melody), it will send another physiological push to restore the victory of the nervous system and rebuild it.

So the answer to the most important question for you:

How to cure cervical bone?

Therefore, the only way to treat cervical joints is to restore the melody of your muscles!There is simply no other option.All other methods - Treatment with drugs, injections, drugs, etc.- Only temporary effects.They eliminate pain effects, but do not eliminate the causes.And very soon, the pain will bother you again.

One of the good methods to treat osteoarthritis is massage.And, in the absence of competent and self -made massage employees.Massage and your muscles you relax, and, as we discovered, it was very helpful.

In parallel with massage and yourself, you can connect the treatment of osteoarthritis to folk remedies, as you know, have been tested for centuries.You can make ointment, rub and bathe from many different plants.

And finally, the most important ingredient in the treatment of osteoarthritis!This is the implementation of special complexes of healing exercises (exercise therapy - physical culture).In addition, the engine mode is accurate (appropriate lifting weight, sitting at the computer, preventing hypoglycemia, position during sleep, etc.).
