What causes accelerated bone degeneration in the cervical region? What are its specific symptoms? How can you cure yourself of cervical osteochondrosis in a quiet home? Many people with osteonecrosis want to hear the answers to these questions.
Cervical osteosarcoma is the most common and uncomfortable disease affecting modern young people between the ages of thirty and thirty-five. Cervical fibroids develop due to prolonged periods of improper posture and stress - when working at a personal computer all day long, and also due to the habit of holding the phone over the shoulder. Most often, this disease appears due to prolonged exposure to vibration, or rather, if strong construction equipment is used or frequent driving during work. In addition, this disease develops with improper posture, uncomfortable bed, sedentary lifestyle, genetic predisposition and other factors. Usually, in people with this condition, there is pain in the back of the neck.
Cervical osteosarcoma is considered a degenerative and dystrophic lesion of the discs in the cervical spine. It appears due to a metabolic disorder in the cervical spine, associated with a change in the structure of the disc, i. e. a special spacer between the vertebrae.
Symptoms of osteonecrosis of the cervix are significantly different from those of osteonecrosis in other areas. This is one of the most dangerous types of osteonecrosis, because the nerve roots of the spinal cord are compromised and the blood supply to the brain is disrupted due to compression of the blood vessels. The reason is due to the specific structure of the cervical spine.
The great artery that feeds the brain is the vertebrae and enters the opening of the cervical vertebra. A pathological change in it leads to the growth of bone and fibrous tissues and arterial compression. Due to the displacement of the spine, the normal functioning of these arteries is also disrupted.
The structure of the cervical spine is slightly different - the vertebrae are in close contact with each other. With any pathological change even the slightest, the normal functioning of all organs is disturbed - nerves and blood vessels are pinched and displaced. As a result, the functions are disturbed - skin sensitivity is disturbed, signs of dizziness are observed. You will experience ringing in the ears, headaches, severe fatigue, impaired vision and hearing, and unsteady walking.
The most important symptoms are:
- Neck, shoulder and arm pain. You will feel weak, crunchy muscles in your neck when you turn your head.
- Feeling of pain in the heart. You will feel pain in your left hand. You will feel burning and pain in the shoulder blades.
- Don't be surprised when occasional headaches and fatigue increase, as well as a feeling of weakness.
- Hurt. Difficulty moving the head.
- Neck pain that radiates down the arm can lead to numbness in the fingers.
- Hearing and vision will be impaired, hand pain, heart and lung disorders, dizziness, nausea, numbness of the tongue and face.
Treatment of cervical osteonecrosis
At first, osteonecrosis is mild and does not cause discomfort to the patient. This stage does not require drug treatment, but only needs to take precautions to avoid more serious complications. It is necessary to improve working conditions, modify the lifestyle, give up bad habits.
Be active, do morning exercises, stick to your diet, stop smoking and avoid heavy lifting. Maintain a straight posture, perform the correct posture in sitting and lying positions. Sign up for a gymnastics course.
Over the years, cervical osteonecrosis can progress and take on a more complex form. After that, the treatment is carried out conservatively. At this stage, you will need to wear a special necklace, do physical therapy, go for a massage.
In the most severe cases, pharmacological treatment will be required, i. e. treatment with analgesics, antispasmodics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
