Cervical osteochondrosis in women

Cervical osteochondrosis in women is a common disease.Mostly, fair sex is subject to her from the age of 30.75% of women face this unpleasant disease, while the consequences and severity of the disease can vary.

Symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis in women

Symptoms of female osteochondrosis can be detected in the early stages, as the cervical spinal disc is located near each other and has a small height.Cervical osteochondrosis can cause serious consequences - complications and fatal outcomes.Indeed, the artery passes through the neck that nourishes the brain, nerves and roots related to the lungs, hands and heart, and spinal cord.Therefore, do not postpone treatment with a good doctor.

So that a woman can recognize cervical osteochondrosis, she needs to pay attention to the following signs:

• During head turns, neck and unpleasant pain arises;
• Frequently repeated headaches in the parts of occipital and temporal;
• Shooting pain to the neck;
• Fatigue, weakness and fatigue;
• High temperature;
• Strong stiffness in the neck, difficult to turn on your head;
• With a slight load on the hand or with cough, unpleasant pain in the shoulder occurs;
• Numbness and tingles of limbs and languages;
• Dizzy, dark in the eyes;
• Snoring in a dream;
• Difficulty swallowing;
• Unreasonable concern, fear;
• Sweroles mood, free from cycle;
• Sleep disorders;
• Sharp deterioration in memory and attention;
• Jumping in blood pressure (either improvement, then decreasing);
• More often there is pain in the liver, the hearing worse and the ringing of the ear, the complications of vision.
• Nausea, vomiting;
• The skin has a bluish color.

Cervical osteochondrosis can lead to poor temperature and health.

IMPORTANT!Especially acute cervical osteochondrosis is experienced by women in menopause.

Characteristics of female osteochondrosis

Osteochondrosis is a violation of the musculoskeletal system, as the disk and intervertebral joints can be destroyed.Due to the characteristics of body structure, the symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis in women are more clearly indicated than men.The fact is that the men's shoulder area is wider, it supports the whole spine, helping not burden the neck.

The female cervical spine department is characterized by high activity and the presence of a large number of nerve fibers, which acts as a conductor between the brain and other organs.Deformation of the intervertebral disc causes rapid pressure on the nerve fiber root.Roughly, women have more fragile vertebrae and thin bone tissue.

IMPORTANT!Pregnancy with the care of the next child also worsens the problem.During pregnancy, the burden on the spine increases, and breastfeeding in an uncomfortable position and continuous baby's use in the hands is the cause of the hunting of the disease.

There are several stages in the development of cervical area osteochondrosis:

1. The decrease in spinal position due to the dehydration of the pulpoose nucleus (the inside of the intervertebral disc, which, usually, should be filled with half life and jacket).
2. The muscles and sag ligaments, which are the source of imbalance, that is, vertebral displacement.
3. Intervertebral disc protests (output of its contents) and arthrosis.
4. The human body tries to help the spine restore the "sophisticated" vertebra to the place, eliminating support and protector.To do this, osteophytes arise in the vertebra - bone growth.Fibrous tissue also grows.As a result, the spinal motor segment is in a shell type that interferes with the activity.

Causes of disease in women

It is believed that the occurrence of cervical osteochondrosis in women is associated with salt, but this is not.It is precisely osteochondrosis which is the main cause of salt deposits.Scientists argue that there are many reasons for the emergence of cervical area osteochondrosis.Consider the main one:

• Klimax.The fact is that the progesterone that enters the body is less and less, and the muscles in the cervical region are reduced.All of this leads to the weakness of the spinal department;
• Weakness of immunity, frequent illness;
• Overweight;
• Infringement of blood circulation;
• Vertebral arterial artery abnormalities arising from the background of generic injuries, infections and heredity;
• Seditional work, especially on computers;
• Flat feet;
• Incorrect posture;
• Smoking and excessive use of alcohol;
• Excessive sports;
• A large burden on the spine during pregnancy;
• Unnatural and unbalanced diet;
• Poor metabolism, problems with metabolism;
• Any damage to the neck;
• Rheumatism or injury;
• Hormone disorders in the body;
• Hypothermia;
• Descent.

Excessive weight has additional burden on ligaments and joints, also leading to problems with the cardiovascular system.

Of harmful cervical osteochondrosis

Lack of treatment can cause women to become defective.If you do not start the treatment of osteochondrosis on time, then there is a risk of complications - from the most important to severe:

1. Persistent pain in the head, dizziness.
2. Sudden loss of consciousness.
3. Problems with hearing and vision.
4. Blood circulation in the brain is interrupted.
5. Frequent increased blood pressure.
6. In the central nervous system, problems can begin: speech disorders, coordination, and behavioral disorders.
7. Radiculitis and other back diseases.
8. The ship will be squeezed in the brain.
9. Vertebral displacement.
10. Violation runs due to spinal cord stenosis.
11. Hernia and intervertebral protrusion.
12. Hernia Schmorl.

Increased blood pressure in osteochondrosis may be associated with poor blood flow in the artery in the course of the brain.Pinching arteries occurs due to osteochondrosis.

Examination and treatment

Cervical osteochondrosis has many common symptoms with other diseases, therefore, before treatment, neuropathologists with the liver -heart listen to patients and collect anamnesis.

Subsequently, a diagnostic study was conducted:

• Radiography.Using the cervical spinal x-ray, the doctor determines the location of the disease.In the picture, he will see changes in the form of the spinal segment, the presence of osteophytes and narrowing the intervertebral disc.
• Calculated tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.Today, this is the most effective way to find out what and where defects are located in the spinal column.
• Myelography.For examinations, the patient is introduced to different fluids into the spinal cord.This procedure is unsafe: the patient may experience allergies and there is a risk of damage to the spinal cord with unsuccessful puncture.However, with cervical osteochondrosis, such studies are rare, unless you need to look at the whole spine.

MRI will help to properly diagnose and determine the level of pathological development.

To cure cervical osteochondrosis, the doctor prescribes complex treatment.Therapy tasks are: removal of muscle cramps, pain relief and decreased intra -disconed pressure.At different stages of the development of the disease, various types of therapies are used.

Usually treatment through stage:

1. Drug treatment.Restores cartilage tissue using chondroprotectors.For blood supply to the brain area, vasodilating drugs are used.All of the above will eliminate inflammation, pain and improve metabolic processes in the intervertebral disc.As a first aid, painful and anti -anti -anti -anti -tablet forms are used.Nootropics and medicines with magnesium can be prescribed.With osteochondrosis, sedatives can be taken, as prolonged diseases can cause stress and depression.Sometimes it is enough to drink a tincture of motherwort or valerian.
2. Physiotherapy.It aims to eliminate infarction in the affected area of the spine, the release of pain syndrome, and increased blood circulation.A good massage for competent experts, electrophoresis with painkillers, and laser therapy can help in the early stages of the disease.Procedures relieve muscle tension and stimulate blood circulation.In severe cases, magnetotherapy, diadynamic current, ultrasound, electroanalgesia and ultraviolet are used.Physiotherapy affects after the 3rd procedure, general conditions improve, insomnia, headache and ringing in the ear will go.
3. Manual therapy.Treatment has good efficacy and grateful reviews.The manual therapist will return the vertebra to his place in several sessions, ensuring their mobility and proper posture.
4. Acupuncture.It is also called reflexology.The goal is the effect of dystrophic transformation in muscle tissue, eliminating inflammation and pain, normalization of blood circulation.Women with low pain indicators have good recovery chances, their lymph flow is accelerated and blood flow normalizes.
5. Orthopedic treatment.The specialist prescribes a special sleeping pillow to unload the spinal column.Extension of underwater spine (attractiveness) for muscle relaxation from warm water action is also recommended.Attraction involves the use of various devices to enhance the intervertebral space.

6. Proper and pure nutrition.Providing the body with useful fat, carbohydrate and protein, as well as minerals and vitamins, a woman can speed up the healing process.
7. Physical activity.Doctors can prescribe therapeutic physical education and special charging for cervical spine.Physical education aims to restore the movement of the Brother-Brothal zone and blood supply.It corrects the posture and strengthens the muscle corset.In addition, ordinary sports, for example, in the gym, will not allow cervical osteochondrosis to advance.
8. Wearing a corset.There is a special device for the cervical region, called a collar.It is distinguished by rigidity and stability.Wearing collar will eliminate pain syndrome, improve posture and accelerate recovery.

When choosing a collar, it is necessary to choose the product height.To do this, measure the distance from the collarbone to the bottom of the jaw.
