Osteochondrosis is a chronic process accompanied by malnutrition and destruction of cartilage tissue.It can develop in almost any joint disc and very often intervertebral is affected (cervical, thoracic, lumbar osteochondrosis).
This does not happen easily.
The fact is, every day your spine experiences a heavy load due to walking and the pull of upright gravity.At the same time, in order for the vertebrae and the cartilage discs between them to be healthy and uninjured, the entire spinal column is surrounded by a large number of back and long muscles, which in turn are interconnected with other organs and parts of the body.
You may be surprised, but recent medical research convincingly proves that the main role in the development of osteochondrosis is played by weakness, decreased tone and improper function of the spinal muscles!Because of this, most of the weight is redistributed to the bones and cartilage of the spine.This is a protective reflex of the body to maintain an upright posture.But without adequate muscle support, the cartilage cannot cope.
Microcracks appear in the disc, inflammation, pain, and stiffness occur.
Experiencing constant excessive loads, the vertebrae begin to change shape, and the cartilaginous disc becomes flat, which, if advanced, can even lead to unpleasant complications such as vertebral displacement, disc herniation, pinched nerve roots, etc.
Inflammation and pain occur.All of this can be exacerbated by:
- insufficient physical activity;
- overweight;
- poor nutrition;
- Irrational habits (insufficient physical activity, carrying a bag on one shoulder, bent posture in front of the computer, driving a car, etc.).
Now you know why we face this problem not only in elderly patients, but also in young people.
Treatment of cervical osteochondrosis.
With cervical osteochondrosis, very unpleasant and uncomfortable sensations occur: pain in the neck, shoulders and even arm numbness, which is associated with the peculiarities of conservation.And when chronic, this leads to problems such as vertebobasilar insufficiency and cerebrovascular accidents.
