The degree of cervical spine osteoarthritis

Massage cervical spine

Osteochondrosis in modern society is considered a variant of the physiological standard due to the spread of the whole disease in the literal sense in people who are even very young.There was a habit of listening to respond to a complaint about the pain in the neck that this was just atrophy and not worried.This is not true!It is worth the beginning of the early stages of degenerative degeneration, because in the future, a very sad clinical picture can be expected, depriving the opportunity to live normally and work.

All levels of osteoarthritis of the cervical spine bring a certain danger, but when the intercontinental disc destruction process is deeply, increasing the risk of hernia and loss of control of some of the body's functions arising.Regarding the level of osteoarthritis of the cervix, what symptoms they manifest and the treatment can be performed by manual treatment, read in this article.Put your knowledge into reality and keep your health until you grow old.

Bone fibers at level 1 of the cervical spine

This is not the beginning of the disease, as practicing to think.Initially, there was a prerequisite for the diffuse nutrition violation of the disc cartilage.This is the initial period.If it has not been noticed, the bones of level 1 will develop in the cervical spine. He was provoked for the following reasons and prerequisites:

  • Static tension of neck muscle;
  • Sedentary lifestyle;
  • lack of regular physical efforts on neck and collar muscles;
  • The inappropriate organization of a pier to overnight (using pillows is too high or soft);
  • Dressed in clothes that put pressure on the soft tissue in the neck;
  • violate posture, habit of bending down;
  • Neck injury;
  • inflammatory disease of the upper respiratory tract;
  • Violation of metabolic processes in the body.

Osteochondrosis of cervical spine at level 1 for a long time is not manifested by typical symptoms.Periodic headache, dizziness, shoulders, etc. can occur.When checking the protruding part and the destruction of the Intervertebral disc not detected.

Fiber of level 2 of the cervical spine

Bone fibrosis is more developed at the second level of the cervical region that is no longer suspicious in reality about its presence.It is manifested by frequent pain in the neck.Pain occurs after a long stinging tension of the neck muscle.Secondary disorders arise on the basis of cerebral vascular failure.Patients often suffer from headaches, dizziness with standing, nausea and mental performance.

With osteoarthritis of the cervical spine at level 2, a structural change in the intervertebral discs occurred.In x -ray, you can see a mesh of small cracks on the surface of the yarn.They gradually filled with calcium salt.This worsens the process of disturbing diffusion nutrition.Ossified InterverteBRal discs cannot absorb liquid from the surrounding muscle fibers.He quickly lost his elasticity and the disease went into the next stage.

Fiber of phase 3 of the cervical spine

With osteoarthritis at level 3, the change in degeneration in the nourishing nature occurs in the cervical spine. They are the following pathological disorders:

  • The Intervertebral disc completely loses the ability to absorb liquids from the outer space when the muscle fibers are reduced;
  • The process of absorption of liquids from the internal structure of the Pulpoose nucleus begins, so it quickly reduces the volume and loss of the ability to absorb shock in the process of physical efforts;
  • Dehydration of the outer ring (yarn) of the intervertebral plate leads to its elasticity violation;
  • big cracks occur;
  • They can penetrate the peeling core of the size of the size - this is the way of hernia to arise;
  • The protruding period before the protruding phase, in which the Intervertebral disc quickly lost height and increased in the area that it goes beyond the body of the vertebra.

Osteochondrosis of the cervical spine of level 3 leads to very uncomfortable consequences.In patients, the mental efficiency is disturbed, the limb's paresis develops, soma diseases, such as heart rate and arterial hypertension, which can occur.It is necessary to immediately start effective and safe treatment.

Symptoms of osteoarthritis of the cervical area of levels 1, 2 and 3

It is difficult to recognize the symptoms of osteoarthritis of the cervix at level 1, because they can be disguised as VSD, migraine attacks, myosites and other diseases are not seriously noticed.However, it is worth understanding that level 1 is the condition in which the minimum conditions are sufficient for treatment.Unfortunately, the time of this period is very short.The degeneration of the Intervertebral disc quickly reached the second phase, in which typical pathological changes can be visible even in a simple X -ray picture.Specifically, the destruction of part of the plate, its height subsidence (clearly or differently) is noticeable. 

For osteoarthritis of the cervical spine at level 2, symptoms may be manifested as follows:

  • Pain in the neck and collar area after static load;
  • The pain extends to the shoulders and is tearing, suting, scissors and cuts;
  • The numbness of the upper limb and their fingers;
  • dizziness and headache;
  • a numbness in the neck;
  • Change strong blood pressure;
  • The pain of the skin in the scalp.

If you have symptoms of osteoarthritis of level 2 osteoarthritis, it is not possible to postpone treatment.Usually, in such conditions, patients accept the therapist.There, they are provided with a temporary disability table for 10-12 days.Anti -inflammatory treatment with symptoms is prescribed.It does not lead to the recovery of damaged cartilage disc.But the patient is reduced all the symptoms and therefore discharged to operate after 10 days.Meanwhile, the destruction of the spine continues and osteoarthritis goes to the next stage.

The emerging symptoms of osteoarthritis of the cervical spine of level 3 are serious nerves.This is due to the fact that with the same development of the disease, the piercing nerves are damaged. It is a spinal syndrome that identifies the symptoms of osteoarthritis of the cervical area of level 3, including the appearance of the following signs:

  • Depression and severe headaches are located at the back of the head;
  • dizziness and loss of air conditioning;
  • The pain in the neck is constant and it radiates the shoulders, arms, under the shoulders;
  • Any movement caused an attack of pain increased;
  • muscles in the neck and collar area are overwhelming;
  • Mobile properties are strongly limited (there is no way to freely turn around or tilt it forward);
  • paralysis in the upper limb next to damage;
  • Pain, tingling and convulsions in the finger;
  • Hypersshecy or, on the contrary, reducing sensitivity up to numbness in the scalp area, face, tongue and lips;
  • liquid disorders and food swallowing;
  • Violation of speech function.

In addition, arrhythmia, hypertension and thyroid disorders may occur.In the case of vagus nerve damage, derived from piercing nerve fibers, extending from 5 to 6 cervical vertebrae, pancreatitis occurs, violating the flow of bile and other diseases of the digestive system.

The most serious symptoms of the third level of cervical joint disease occur with the development of vertebral artery syndrome.In this case, the transient disturbance of brain blood supply may develop.The patient lost consciousness, lost control of the body's functions, paralyzed, etc.

To prevent the risk of developing such complications, it is important to start treating the disease in a timely manner.

Treatment of osteoarthritis of the cervical area of levels 1, 2 and 3

To treat osteoarthritis at level 1 of the cervical spine, it is enough to eliminate its cause.To do this, restore the diffusion nutrition of cartilage.This can only be done with manual therapy.Thin and massage diseases are used to improve the condition of muscle fibers, Kinesititheracer and gymnastics, strengthen the muscle frame of the neck.In addition, it is important to follow all the recommendations of the manual therapist.A manual therapy for each patient is developing individually recommendations.They are related to changes in the diet and diet, introducing the daily life schedule of special physical exercises, accurate organization of work and wharves, etc.

To treat osteoarthritis of the cervical spine at level 2, it will take more time.It is important to restore the physiological structure of the cartilage intervertence disc.Acupressure methods and traction, massage and therapeutic exercises are used.If it is necessary to prevent pain syndrome, a pharmacist may be displayed.

Carry out accurate treatment of osteoarthritis in the cervical area provided 2 to ensure no recurrence for several years.If the patient fulfills all the recommendations of the doctor, there is no recurrent development of the degenerative destruction of the disc.

The most difficult thing is the treatment of osteoarthritis of the cervical spine at level 3, because there is a clear protrusion.To treat osteoarthritis at the third level of the cervical spine, it is not enough to restore cartilage diffusion nutrition.It is important to return the normal height and elasticity of the Intervertebral disc.The treatment process includes a comprehensive effect.It is also important to follow all the doctor's recommendations in everyday life.
