Osteochondrosis is a chronic process accompanied by malnutrition and destruction of cartilage tissue.It can develop in almost any joint and very often the intervertebral discs are affected (cervical, thoracic, lumbar osteochondrosis).
This doesn't happen easily.
The fact is that every day your spine experiences a huge load due to upright walking and gravitational attraction.At the same time, in order for the vertebrae and the cartilaginous discs between them to be healthy and not injured, the entire spine is surrounded by a large number of short and long back muscles, which in turn are interconnected with other organs and parts of the body.
You may be surprised, but recent medical research convincingly proves that the main role in the development of osteochondrosis is played by weakness, decreased tone and improper functioning of the spinal muscles.Because of this, most of the weight is redistributed to the bones and cartilage of the spine.This is a protective reflex of the body to maintain an upright posture.But without sufficient muscle support, the cartilage cannot cope.
Microcracks appear in the discs, inflammation, pain and stiffness occur.
Experiencing constant excessive load, the vertebrae begin to deform and the cartilaginous discs flatten, which, if progressed, can even lead to such unpleasant complications as vertebral displacement, disc herniation, nerve root impingement, etc.
Inflammation and pain occur.All of this can be aggravated by:
- insufficient physical activity;
- overweight;
- poor nutrition;
- irrational habits (inappropriate physical activity, carrying bags on your shoulder, crooked posture in front of the computer, driving a car, etc.).
Now you know why we doctors find this problem not only in elderly patients, but also in quite young people.
Treatment of cervical osteochondrosis.
With cervical osteochondrosis, very unpleasant and uncomfortable sensations occur: pain in the neck, shoulders and even numbness of the arms, which is associated with the peculiarities of innervation.And when it is chronic, it causes problems such as vertebrobasilar insufficiency and stroke.
Traditional methods of treating cervical osteochondrosis are in most cases ineffective and drugs have a toxic allergic effect and quickly become addictive without a lasting therapeutic effect.Therefore, manual treatment of cervical osteochondrosis is increasingly used, and with the right approach, a long-term positive effect is observed.
