Osteochondrosis of the cervical area is a degenerative-dystrophic disease that affects the cartilage of the intervertebral disc, which causes pathological changes in the vertebra.The need for hospitalization only occurs with severity with sharp deterioration in well -being, usually provoked by opening the vertebral artery with vibrant vertebrae.
In most cases, the treatment of osteochondrosis is performed at home.Patients are shown chondroprotectors courses, massage and physiotherapy procedures, compliance with the surviving diet.But the main method of therapy for this disease is daily physical medical or gymnastics education.Patients are also recommended for swimming, yoga, walking in fresh air.
Drug
In cervical osteochondrosis therapy, drugs of various clinical and farm groups are used.To get rid of acute pain in the neck and nape, anti -non -—Ssteroid drugs, muscle relaxants, analgesics in tablets or injection solutions are used.And the use of ointment and plaster helps eliminate uncomfortable sensations to weak or moderate severity, including heating.
With osteochondrosis 1 or 2 degrees of severity, chondroprotectors are included in the therapeutic scheme.This is a stimulant of the regeneration of the intervertebral disc cartilage and damaged ligaments, tendons, muscles.With long help (from 3 months to several years), the course of chondroprotectors successfully restores Hyalin cartilage, normalizing the function of the cervical spine.
The concentration of active ingredients (glucosamine, chondroitin) drugs in the area of the damaged tissue gradually increased.Shortly thereafter, analgesic, decongestant and anti -anti -anti -anti -anti -acts began to appear.Chondroprotectors are not used in the treatment of osteochondrosis of the 3rd, as the destruction process affects almost all connective structures.
| A group of clinical and farm drugs used in the treatment of cervical osteochondrosis | Pharmacological actions and therapeutic effects |
| Anti -anti -ssteroid drugs | Relieves inflammation process, reduces severity of pain and swelling, increases the amount of movement |
| B Vitamin B | Normalization of skeletal muscle conservation, optimal delivery recovery and mediator metabolism, damaged nerve generation |
| Funds that increase blood supply | Improves blood rheological properties and damaged nerve roots, stimulation of blood circulation in the brain, removal of headaches and dizziness |
| Musorelaxants | Relaxation of the skeletal muscle, the release of breached nerve roots and blood vessels |
Physical Education Medicine
The use of pharmacological preparations, heating, performing massage procedures will not help eliminate the symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis, stopping its development.Only regular daily physiotherapy exercises, and then stop the destruction of cartilage tissue.Training complexes are compiled by training therapy doctors, taking into account the pathological level and preparation of the patient's sports.The first exercise was also controlled under his control, and then the patient was involved at home.

In the process of training, there should be no uncomfortable sensation, including vertebrogenic natural anger, increasing blood pressure.The movement should be smooth, with a small amplitude.Only in this way, blood circulation can be repaired in the cervical spine and at the same time avoids load on damaged intervertebral discs.Usually, exercise therapy doctors include the following exercises in the treatment complex:

Infusions or tinctures for internal use have a variety of therapeutic properties.Some of them can slow down or weaken the effects of pharmacological drugs.Therefore, the possibility of the use of folk remedies should be discussed with a vertebrologist or neurologist.
