The spine osteochondrosis is a disease caused by the destruction of bone and cartilage tissue of the cervix, chest and lumbar spine.
First and foremost, with the progression of the disease, the central part of the spine is modified - the so -called jet seed. As a result, the vertebra loses some shock absorbing properties and refining and cracks develop on the fibrous ring on the periphery of the disc.
A further progression of osteocondrosis of the spine leads to complications of the disease - resulting in the fibrous ring and the intervertebral hernia or cracks. Spinal instability in the affected area leads to pain and limited mobility of the head in the osteochondrosis of the cervical spine, as well as the limited mobility of the body, to the chest of the chest and osteochondrosis of the chest.
In 75% of cases, back pain is precisely caused by osteocondrosis of the spine. In addition to age, the risk of spinal tissue dystrophy increases significantly, so the symptoms of the osteochondrosis of the spine are on average observing every second resident of the planet over 30 years of age.
The cause of osteochondrosis of the spine
Provocative factors for the development of osteochondrosis of the spine are regarded as rear injuries or back injuries on the back, with hard physical work or professional employment under vibration conditions. If you need to do a lot of on and unloading work, buy a hydraulic collection for your car.
Early manifestation of the spine is caused by weak physical development, flat foot or excessive weight. There is a genetic predisposition to the loose structure of the intervertebral discs and the abnormalities of the spine structure. Intensive training in the gym, which violates the rules for the distribution of the rear load, is also unfavorable to the health of the spine.
Symptoms of osteochondrosis of the spine
The disease manifests itself as a number of typical symptoms. The spine is characterized by osteochondrosis: pain on the back, sensation of numbness in the affected spine, decrease in the amplitude of movements, increased pain in severity, sharp movement, tension coughing or sneezing.
Chronic pain, as it is a symptom of osteocondrosis of the spine, causes increased fatigue. When the nerve root of the spine is thickened with the spine, the pain can be more intense and sharp. In this case, localization is not limited to the back area, but a person in the limb area.
Stages of osteochondrosis of the spine
The stage of the disease depends on the severity of the symptoms of osteochondrosis of the spine. In the first phase of osteochondrosis of the spine, pain is virtually not felt if only the malaise of the spine and the poor stability in the event of injury. The destruction of the fibrous ring, the reduction of the size of the vertebrate cracks and the pain of different intensity are the symptom of the second intermittent spine osteochondrosis.
The third stage of the disease is characterized by significant deformations of bone and spinal tissue until the appearance of intervertebral hernia. The symptom of osteochondrosis of the most severe fourth stage of spine is the total or partial paralysis of mass bones, limited mobility, intense pain, and compression of the limbs.
Symptoms of osteochondrosis of the cervical spine
Cervical spine osteochondrosis often leads to blood circulation disorders due to arterial compression. This leads to intense headache, dizziness and fainting. Osteochondrosis of the cervical spine can sometimes be observed in the spine arterial syndrome. This is characterized by a noisy sound, the image of the "flies", or the colored spots in the eyes. The cervical spine with osteochondrosis of the shoulders or hands is also possible to peripheral pain.
Symptoms of osteochondrosis of the chest spine
Chest spine osteochondrosis can exacerbate the course of various cardiac cathologies. The disease causes progress to the intercalision neuralgia (pressing the interculation nerves). The chest spine is observed with osteochondrosis of the chest and the feeling of "stake" in the middle of the chest.
Symptoms of osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine
Lumbar spine osteochondrosis leads to the following diseases: Lumbago and hernia.
Izhias, such as lumbar osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine, the damage to the sciatic nerve, the pain of the gluteal region, the calf hypotension (reduced voice) and the gluteal muscles.
Lumbago symptoms of osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine have sharp pain in the lower back caused by the displacement of the vertebrae or the loss of the spine.
The lumbar radiculite, a new complication of osteocondrosis of the lumbar spine, is provoked by injuries to the lowest discs of the spine. It is accompanied by pain in the buttocks with irradiation at the back of the thigh, a hole under the knees, the lower leg and leg.
Diagnosis of osteochondrosis of the spine
The neurologist found the preliminary diagnosis of "spine osteochondrosis" after the initial examination of the patient's back pain and complaints about limited mobility. The stage of osteochondrosis of the spine should be determined depending on the degree of deformation of the spine, the patient's posture and the number of disks affected.
All the above symptoms of osteochondrosis of the spine are diagnosed by feeling the patient's back. The doctor also pays attention to the condition of muscle tone. Because in most cases the disease is accompanied by hypertension of the back muscles.
Using tests for bending the spine, we determine the patient's movement amplitude. Thanks to the use of radiography, CT and MRI, the diagnosis is determined and the future tactics for the treatment of osteochondrosis of the spine are determined.
Treatment of osteochondrosis of the spine
Conservative and surgical methods are used in the treatment of osteochondrosis. Both are aimed at eliminating pain syndrome and preventing further advancement of spine deformation.
However, surgical treatment for spine osteochondrosis is only used if the conservative therapy of the disease is ineffective.
The active stage of the use of conservative methods lasts for an average of 2 months. At the beginning, short -term growth of pain syndrome, which has been exercised for body medicines, physiotherapy (exercise treatment) and physiotherapy. It is also used in conservative treatment of osteochondrosis of the spine, massage, manual therapy, extract and reflexology. The effectiveness of the treatment of osteochondrosis of the spine depends on the systematic nature of the procedures and the persistence of the patient in the implementation of physical therapy complexes.
Surgery for osteochondrosis of the spine is performed with a hernia of a vertebrae, which has long exceeded 6 months. The operation of the operation is to reduce the gap between the vertebrae to the initial size to 1/3 and the compression of the spinal roots.
The leading method for surgical treatment of spine osteochondrosis is discocosomy, ie the removal of deformed plate. The operation can be minimally invasive using endoscopic tools using the microdisectomy method, the B-twin system, and the laser evaporation of the core of the deformed disk.
Rehabilitation period is expected for 6 months after surgical treatment of osteochondrosis of the spine. In doing so, the patient is directed to sanatorium resort treatment to physiotherapy, manual therapy, acupuncture, etc.
