Osteochondrosis is a serious disease of the spine that leads to disability. There are three types of disease: chest, cervical, lumbar. Each has symptoms.
Dystrophic disorders in articular cartilage affect the space between the vertebrae. Osteochondrosis destroys cartilage tissue, causing thinning. Everything around is inflamed, including nerve fibers. Gradually the vertebrae are displaced, the nerves are pinched. In every part of the spine, it leads to certain symptoms and consequences. The neurological manifestations of osteochondrosis are considered important, serious.
The main symptoms of osteochondrosis
The main symptoms that occur with this type of disease:
- Pain at the focus of the disease, worsening during rest.
- Weakness in the body, present during waking, throughout the day. Due to lack of oxygen.
- Blood pressure soared. It is characteristic of cervical osteochondrosis, it is found in other types of diseases.
The disease has unclear and generalized main symptoms, therefore, requires careful diagnosis. Consider the neurology section of symptomatology.
Neurology for cervical osteochondrosis
Cervical osteochondrosis is a type of dystrophic disorder that affects the cervical vertebrae. Due to progressive disease, there is a serious displacement of the vertebrae. Symptomology is stated. This disease is common. Adolescent, younger children are often affected.
Neurological manifestations of dystrophic disorders of the cervical spine:
- Cervicalgia is present at all stages of cervical osteochondrosis. It is expressed by a dull pain in the tissues in the neck. The patient complained of a "cola in the neck" sensation. Discomfort is present throughout the day, and worse at night.
- Inflammation of the anterior scalene muscle is expressed by pain in the lateral part of the neck, clearly radiating to the corresponding arm. Cramps in the fingers when waking up. It is caused by inflammation of nerve fibers, the roots of the C5-C7 vertebrae.
- Cranialgia is a feature of severe osteochondrosis of the neck. It is expressed by a burning pain syndrome in the crown of the head, above the eyebrows. Even strong painkillers are often unable to calm themselves.
- Cochlevestibular sensation is expressed by pain in the ear, cracking. Manifestations of cervical osteochondrosis require an immediate visit to the doctor. Oxygen starvation is to blame.
Cervical osteochondrosis has manifestations of neuralgia that require medical supervision. There are many arteries in the neck. The disease reduces blood flow, causes disorders, disorders. The main symptoms of the disease from a neurological point of view are listed.
The manifestation of the disease is not clear, it concerns the early stages. Most go to the doctor when the disease has a second or third stage.
Neurology for thoracic osteochondrosis
Neurological manifestations of thoracic osteochondrosis:
- Painful pain under the scapula - dorsalgia. The man leaned forward. There is a feeling of fatigue in the back, an unbearable weight in the upper part.
- The plexus around the collarbone and ribs is swollen. Causes discomfort when looking back. Swelling can be felt under the scapula.
- In the atrial area, a person experiences pain. Often there is no pathology of the heart, the essence is in the process of xiphoid, which becomes inflamed as a result of back disease. Symptoms are considered bright, widespread. Neurologists deal with complaints of patients suffering from heart disease. The disease does not affect the work of the heart.
This is the main symptom of the manifestation of chest osteochondrosis in terms of neurological changes in the body. Symptoms are expressed in severe discomfort, pain. Pain relieves pain relieves, pain relieves, psychotropic drugs used in severe illness.
The listed symptoms highlight the manifestation of the disease in the thoracic region.
Neurology for lumbar osteochondrosis
Manifestations of spinal osteochondrosis are of a general, neurological condition. Osteochondrosis refers to a neurological disease, neuropathologists are involved in treatment. Manifestations of dystrophic disorders in the articular cartilage of the lumbar spine from the neurological side:
- Lumboischialgia is a back pain that radiates to the legs. It shows itself after a long time in an uncomfortable position. Has a chronic, subacute form. Chronic lumboischialgia is common. Common symptoms of lumbar osteochondrosis in the second stage.
- Lumbago is a low back pain in the lower back, worse at night. There are types of lumbago. Each type differs in the nature of the pain.
- Disorders of nerve roots. Diseases of the lower back are associated with nerve roots in the back, which become inflamed and interfere with the body’s motor activity.
Lumbar osteochondrosis is a common type of osteochondrosis. Every third patient has a dystrophic disorder in the articular cartilage. Sometimes appears in women after childbirth. It is associated with injuries in the lumbar region, pelvis, which occur while carrying a baby, during childbirth.
The severity of the disease is possible during subsequent childbirth. The treatment is carried out thoroughly, completely. Most medications are contraindicated for breastfeeding. Doctors should find a way out of the situation by devising a scheme based on appropriate medications. Physiotherapy and traditional medicine are often taken as the basis. Full treatment without medication will not work, but the weakening of the effects of the disease on the body of the young mother is guaranteed.
Course of osteochondrosis
Having shown how osteochondrosis manifests itself, we look at the stage of the disease course, the characteristics of the type of disease.
The acute course of the disease lasts for 4 weeks. The patient feels mild pain in the inflamed area.
The subacute disease lasts up to three months. This is followed by a chronic course lasting more than a year. Improper treatment threatens with serious problems in physical activity. Osteochondrosis can cause deformity, treatment should be taken seriously.
Therapy to eliminate osteochondrosis is arranged by the attending physician - a neuropathologist. Self -treatment is excluded - the likelihood of positive dynamics without efficient self -treatment is small.
After major therapy, the body will need time to recover. The doctor will prescribe a course of physiotherapy, the use of traditional medical methods. Traditional medical recipes will shorten the recovery period if used wisely. There are many plant, natural components that help the body to consolidate its results after healing.
