Pathological changes in articular cartilage, which leads to the dystrophy of the intervertebral discs of the cervix, are called osteochondrosis.The disease comes from various reasons, and it is not always recognized and full of symptoms similar to other diseases and is full of danger to human health, so it requires competent prevention.
What is cervical spine dangerous osteochondrosis?
The spinal column is supported and needs care for the entire body.
No wonder they say - the spine has to be protected!
On the one hand, the cervical class is the coolest part of the spine.At the same time, it is quite vulnerable and, due to the poorly developed cervix and anatomical properties of the vertebrae, is exposed to minor injuries.
- First of all, the cervical vertebrae differ in their structure.
- Second, their proximity to each other determines the transmission of nerves and blood vessels, even with a slight relationship between the vertebrae.
Both vessels, especially the spine arteries, all the nerve fibers pass through the holes of transverse vertebrates and are actively involved in the innervation of the brain.The tightening of the blood vessels deprives the brain of blood supply and can lead to severe brain disorders.
In addition, deformation of nerve roots and vascular plexus can trigger the displacement of the spinal compartment.In fact, it usually reaches back or sideways, which is filled with a hernia.At this stage, the disk retains its integrity, but the hazard towards the hernia lies inside the intervertebral channel.
In the next stage, degeneration affects the spinal joints.There are growth of bones around them, which gradually covers the lumen of the channels between the vertebrae.
It should be remembered that the channels of the cervical region are much narrower due to the anatomical structure than in other parts of the spine.Therefore, the smallest protrusion of the disk is sufficient to appear.The vascular and nervous formations are tightened, the muscles react to irritation too much, and the pressure of the vertebrae increases.
The processes described have abnormal ischemic consequences because the spinal cord and the brain suffer, which does not receive the necessary nutrition.
Why does the disease develop?
Earlier attitude towards osteochondrosis, as an elderly disease associated with symptoms, has been converted to another today, which is relevant for today's period.The disease was clearly "younger".Doctors nowadays are doctors typical of osteochondrosis, 18 years old and 30-35, and even children.
Universal computerization and the widespread driving of the car promote a series of patients with osteochondrosis of the cervix.
The main causes of the disease are the main
- Not enough physical exercise, especially with the development of the musculoskeletal system.
- Sowrate, seated (long -term seat behind the steering wheel or monitor screen, TV).
- Hereditary factor.
- Violation of posture, including flat legs.
- Excessive weight.
- The curvature of the spine, including the consequences of fractures or bruises.
- The long stay of a person in stress.
- Bad ecology.
- Hypothermia and infectious injuries.
- Disadvantage in nutrition of vitamins and trace elements.
- Lack of fluid in the body.
- Wearing heavy loads.
- Stay long in an uncomfortable position when the cervical spine is loaded (including a "bad" pillow while sleeping).
- Congenital instability of vertebrates.
The factors listed lead to the fact that a person starts problems with his neck as the rooster syndrome develops.Due to degenerative changes in the body, the cartilage tissue of the intervertebral discs lose its elasticity, physiologically normal size and shape.
One starts to blink headaches, pain in the neck, dizziness, "flies", in the ears and many other symptoms when you urgently consult a doctor to make an accurate diagnosis!
Prevention
Prevention of cervical osteochondrosis consists of a competent organization of workplace and full workflow, observing the right diet, swimming, yoga, simple gymnastics and massage, night rest on the pillow, which repeats the physiological bend of the neck.
- Swimming and yogaThey are well prevented from osteochondrosis of the cervical spine.You can take part in them or under the supervision of an experienced coach.
- Nutritious dietIt should be compiled by fruits, vegetables, sufficient amounts of clean drinking water, products rich in vitamins, calcium and magnesium.You should not abuse fatty, salty, smoked, alcohol, tobacco.We recommend that you exclude products that contribute to the appearance of excessive weight, edema, and those that are poorly removed from the body.
- The method of implementation of any job should be organized to interrupt every five minutes every 45-60 minutes, filled with physical and breathing exercises.
- You have to move in the physical warmth, unless you move, move the head tilt forward, turn it to the side, up and down.
The circular rotation movement of the neck is not recommended!They can lead to cervical injury!
We also recommend drawing the spine.The exercise is convenient to stand or lie on the back, and the efforts of the arms and legs are pulled in the opposite direction so that the whole body, next to the spine, is lengthy.
Squat and deflection are also useful.
Choose simple exercises and do them for age and best without power!
The purpose of gymnastics is to relax the neck muscles, the shoulders, to remove excessive muscle tension, which occurs with the long -term monotonous position of the case and by strengthening the cervical muscle corset.In this case, the mobility of the vertebrae and the circulation of the entire collar area improve.
The gymnastics should be done regularly, each exercise should be done 5-8 times, observing your own feelings.
Do not pain when completing the physical education complex!
- You can do the massage of the nearby disk or perosencies of the zone alone or ask for help from a masseur.
- High -quality, no -night sleep or sunlight neck, anatomically correct orthopedic cushion that contributes to relaxation of the head and neck muscles.A well -dirty pillow protects the nerves and blood vessels.
Prevention of cervical osteochondrosis is relevant to students, school adolescents and everyone who has been on the computer for a long time, on the table or on the machine!
If you have a child, it is very important from early childhood to monitor the correctness of their posture and adjust it with the slightest violation or curvature.This is an effective prevention of osteochondrosis of the cervix.
