Pathological changes in articular cartilage lead to malnutrition in the cervical vertebrae area, called osteochondrosis.This disease occurs for a variety of reasons, has symptoms similar to other diseases, and is not always identified and troubled by hidden human health risks, and therefore requires capable prevention.
What is dangerous osteochondrosis in the cervical spine?
The spine is a support for the entire body and requires care.
No wonder they say - the spine must be protected!
On the one hand, the cervical spine is the most moving part of the spine.At the same time, it is very fragile and suffers mild damage due to the cervical and anatomical features of the vertebrae structure.
- First, the structure of the cervical spine is different.
- Second, even in the case of vertebrae slightly related, the distance between their positions determines the transfer of nerves and blood vessels.
In particular, blood vessels, vertebral arteries and nerve fibers all pass through the foramen of transverse vertebrates and are actively involved in the innervation of the brain.Squeezing blood vessels can deprive the brain of blood supply, which can lead to serious brain diseases.
In addition, deformation of the nerve roots and vascular plexus can cause the displacement of the spinal disc.Furthermore, he usually protrudes backward or sideways, which is full of the formation of hernia.At this stage, the disk retains its integrity, but the danger lies in the direction of the hernia in the spinal canal.
In the next stage, degeneration affects the vertebrae joints.They have bones growing around them, and they gradually cover the cavity of the channels present between the vertebrae.
It should be kept in mind that because the anatomy structure is structured much narrower than the rest of the spine.Therefore, the slightest protrusion of the disk is sufficient to reflect the emergence of compression.Squeeze blood vessels and nerves to form, muscles in response to stimulation are too tightened, and vertebrae pressure is enhanced.
The described process leads to pathological ischemia consequences because the spinal cord and brain suffer the necessary nutrition.
Why does the disease occur?
Today, previous attitudes towards osteochondrosis have increased simultaneously with the symptoms of increasing age, and are now replaced by another relevant attitude that is currently relevant.The disease is obviously "young".Doctors these days are introduced to the characteristics of osteochondrosis, young people, to the age of 30-35, and even children.
General computerization and extensive driving of cars help complement the rankings of patients with cervical osteochondrosis.
Among many causes of disease, mainly
- Inadequate physical exercise, especially when the skeletal muscle system is underdeveloped.
- Nursery, long-sitting (long-term sitting behind the steering wheel or on the monitor screen, TV) lifestyle.
- Genetic factors.
- Violation of posture, including due to flatness.
- Too big.
- The curvature of the spine, including injuries due to cracks or bruises.
- A person is in a stressful state for a long time.
- Bad ecology.
- Hypothermia and infectious lesions.
- Vitamins, trace elements in nutritional disadvantages.
- The body lacks fluid.
- Wear heavy cargo.
- Stay in a forced and inconvenient position for a long time, when there is a load on the cervical spine (including when sleeping on the "wrong" pillow).
- Innate vertebrate instability.
The listed factors lead to the fact that a person begins to have neck problems because of the development of Rooser syndrome.Due to degenerative changes occurring in the body, the cartilage tissue of the intervertebral disc loses its inherent elasticity and physiologically normal size and shape.
A person begins to experience headaches, soreness in the neck, dizziness, flashing in the eyes of the "flies", ears and many other symptoms, when should a doctor be consulted urgently to establish an accurate diagnosis!
prevention
Preventing cervical osteochondrosis involves the supervisory organization of the workplace and the entire work process, observing the correct diet, swimming, yoga, performing simple gymnastic exercises and massages, resting at night, repeating the physiological bent pillows of the neck.
- Swimming and yogaIt greatly prevents osteochondrosis in the cervical vertebrae.You can participate on your own or under the supervision of an experienced coach.
- Nutritious dietIt should be composed in such a way that fruits, vegetables, sufficient amounts of clean drinking water, products rich in vitamins, calcium and magnesium.You should not abuse fat, salty, smoked, alcohol, tobacco-date.It is recommended to exclude products that help with excessive weight, edema, and removal of poorer products from the body.
- Any implementation mode of work should be organized in a five-minute pause every 45-60 minutes and provide them with physical and breathing exercises.
- As your body warms you have to move, move, tilt your head forward, turn it to the side, move up and down.
Round rotation of the neck is not recommended!They can cause neck injuries!
It is also recommended to draw the spine.Practice the effort of standing or lying on the back and stretching your arms and legs in the opposite direction, stretching the entire body as well as the length of your spine.
Squats and deflections are also useful.
You should choose simple exercises and follow age and best strength without overwhelming!
The purpose of gymnastics is to relax the muscles of the neck, shoulders, and remove excessive muscle tension, which occurs in the case of long-term monotonous position and enhance the muscle corset of the cervical fibers.In this case, the mobility of vertebrae and blood circulation throughout the field have improved.
Gymnastics should be performed regularly, and each exercise should be performed 5-8 times to observe your feelings.
There should be no pain when you are in a sports complex!
- You can perform a close plate or close massage yourself or ask the masseur for help.
- For high-quality, do not harm your neck that sleeps at night or sunny, it is recommended to use an anatomically correct orthopedic pillow that helps relax the muscles of the head and neck.A well-chosen pillow can protect nerves and blood vessels.
Prevent cervical osteochondrosis with students, school-age teenagers and everyone who stays on computers for a long time, sits on a desk or machine!
If you have a child, it is important to monitor the correctness of their posture from early childhood and adjust with the slightest violation or curvature.This is also an effective prevention of cervical osteochondrosis.
