Degeneration of osteocartilage in the cervical vertebra

Cervical spine massage osteochondral disease

Osteochondrosis in modern society is almost considered a variant of physiological norms because pathology is spread overall at a young age.Responding to complaints about neck pain is habitual, it is "only" osteochondrosis, don't worry.This is not true!It is worth starting from the early stages of the degenerative malnutrition process, as there may be a very sad clinical situation in the future, thus depriving the opportunity to live and work normally.

All osteochondrosis in the cervical spine is at risk, but as the destruction process of destruction deepens, the risk of hernia increases and the loss of control of certain functions of the body.Regarding the extent of osteochondrosis in the cervical area, the symptoms they show and how to treat it using manual treatment.Put the knowledge acquired into practice and stay healthy until old age.

The first degree of osteocartilage degeneration in the cervical spine

This is not the beginning of the disease, as habitually thought about it.Initially, there are prerequisites for diffuse nutrition that invades the intervertebral disc cartilage.This is the initial stage.If not noticed, first-grade osteochondrosis will occur in the cervical spine. He aroused his excitement for the following reasons and prerequisites:

  • Long static tension of neck muscles;
  • A sedentary lifestyle;
  • lack of regular physical exercises for neck and tie muscles;
  • Inappropriate tissue rest at night (using too high or soft pillow);
  • Wear clothes that apply pressure to soft tissue on the neck;
  • Violating posture and bending over;
  • Neck injury;
  • Inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract;
  • Violating the in vivo metabolic process.

For a long time, osteochondralemia in the primary cervical vertebrae has no characteristic symptoms.Regular headaches, dizziness, shoulders, etc. may occur.No detection was detected when checking for herniation and destruction of the intervertebral disc.

Second degree osteocartilage degeneration in cervical vertebra

Due to its existence, two-dimensional osteocartilage changes in the cervical region are no longer suspected.Frequent neck pain manifests.Pain occurs after prolonged static tension of the neck muscles.Secondary diseases occur in the context of cerebrovascular failure.Patients often have headaches, dizziness in position, nausea and psychological manifestations.

With the osteocartilage degeneration of the secondary cervical vertebrae, structural changes in the intervertebral disc have occurred.In the X-ray, you can see a small crack on the surface of the fiber annulus.They are gradually filled with calcium salts.This further exacerbates the disturbance process of diffuse nutrition.Calcified (ossified) discs cannot absorb fluid from surrounding muscle fibers.He soon lost his resilience and the disease entered the next stage.

Osteocartilage degeneration in the third stage of cervical vertebra

With the 3 degrees of osteocartilage, degenerative changes in cervical vertebrae occur in the cervical vertebrae.They are the following pathological diseases:

  • When muscle fibers are reduced, the disc completely loses its ability to absorb fluid from outer space.
  • The process of absorbing liquid from the internal structure of the nucleus pulposus begins, so it quickly reduces the volume and loses the ability to exert shock absorption during physical fatigue.
  • Dehydration of the external (fiber) annulus of the intervertebral disc leads to invasion of its elasticity;
  • A large crack occurred;
  • They can penetrate the lowered slurry core - this is where the hernia appears.
  • The stage of protrusion is the stage of protrusion, during which time the disc quickly loses its height and increases in the area so that it exceeds the body of the vertebrae.

The osteocartilage of the cervical spine at a third degree leads to very unpleasant consequences.In patients, psychological manifestations are disturbed, and relief of the upper limbs occurs, and somatic pathology may occur, such as cardiac rhythm and arterial hypertension.It is necessary to start effective and safe treatment immediately.

Symptoms of cervical vertebrae and bone hos in grade 1, 2 and 3

It is difficult to recognize the symptoms of osteochondrosis in the primary cervical vertebrae area, as they can be disguised as VSD, migraine attack, creatine-induced creatine, creatine-induced creatine and other pathologies that are not used to serious attention.However, it is worth understanding that the first level is a condition where the minimum conditions are sufficient for treatment.Unfortunately, this stage lasts very short.The degeneration of the intervertebral disc quickly reached the second stage, and typical pathological changes can be seen even in simple radiographic images.In particular, partial destruction of the disk, its height of settlement (fragmentation or diffusion) is obvious. 

Osteochondral disease accompanied by secondary cervical vertebrae, the symptoms can be expressed as follows:

  • Pain in the neck and collar area after any electrostatic load;
  • Pain extends to the shoulders, tear, suture, pull and cut;
  • Numbness of upper limbs and their fingers;
  • Dizziness and headache;
  • The feeling of numbness in the neck;
  • drastic changes in blood pressure;
  • Pain in the scalp.

If you have symptoms of osteochondrosis of osteochondrosis, it is impossible to postpone treatment.Typically, in this case, the patient receives a therapist.There they were provided with a temporary disability form of 10-12 days.Prescription symptomatic anti-inflammatory treatment.It does not cause recovery of damaged cartilage discs.But the patient can relieve all symptoms, so he was discharged after 10 days.Meanwhile, spinal damage continues and osteochondrosis enters the next stage.

The emerging symptoms of third-degree cervical osteochondrosis are severe nervous system.This is due to the fact that as the disease develops similarly, the radiation nerves are damaged. It is the spinal syndrome that determines the symptoms of osteochondrosis in the third-level cervical vertebrae region, including the appearance of the following symbols:

  • Depression mood and severe headaches are in the back of the head;
  • dizziness and ataxia;
  • The pain in the neck is constant, and it radiates to the shoulders and arms under the constraints of the shoulders.
  • Any exercise can cause an attack with increased pain;
  • The muscles of the neck and tie are excessive.
  • Mobility is greatly limited (no freedom to rotate the head or lean back);
  • The upper limbs on the lesion side are sharply numb;
  • pain, tingling and twitching of fingers;
  • Conversely, high examination or sensitivity is reduced to numbness in the scalp, face, tongue, and lips areas.
  • Obstacles in the liquid and food swallowing process;
  • Violate voice function.

In addition, arrhythmia, elevated blood pressure and thyroid disease may occur.If damage to the vagus nerve, which originates from the radioligent nerve fibers that extend 5 to 6 cervical vertebrae, pancreatitis occurs, violating bile outflow and other pathology of the digestive system.

The development of vertebral artery syndrome occurs with the most serious symptoms of third degree osteochondrosis.In this case, transient interference of the cerebral blood supply will develop.Patients lose consciousness, lose control of physical functions, are paralyzed, etc.

To prevent the risk of this complication, it is important to start treatment of the disease in a timely manner.

Treatment of cervical vertebrae bone marrow disease at 1st, second and third levels

In order to treat osteocartilage degeneration at the first level of the cervical spine, it is sufficient to eliminate the cause of it.To do this, restore the diffuse nutrition of the cartilage.This can only be done with manual treatment.Use osteopathic and therapeutic massage to improve muscle fibers, exercise therapy and gymnastics condition and enhance the muscle frame of the neck.Also, it is important to follow all the advice of a manual therapist.Manual therapy for each patient is being developed for personal advice.They are related to changes in the regime and diet, introducing the daily schedule of special physical exercise, the correct organization of work and berths, etc.

This will take more time to treat osteocartilage in the secondary cervical vertebrae.It is important to restore the physiological structure of the cartilage intervertebral disc.Use reflexology and traction, massage and treatment of exercise.If it is necessary to stop the pain syndrome, drug attack can be shown.

Correct treatment of osteochondrosis in the secondary cervical area can ensure that the disease lack recurs for several years.If the patient performs all the advice of the attending physician, degenerative disruption of the disc will not be redeveloped.

The most difficult thing is to treat osteochondrosis in the third-level cervical vertebrae because of obvious prominence.To treat osteochondrosis in the third degree of cervical vertebra, this is not enough to restore diffuse nutrition in the cartilage tissue.It is important to return to the normal height and elasticity of the disc.The treatment process includes comprehensive effects.It is also important to follow all the advice of your doctor in your daily life.
