Osteochondrosis is a serious disease of the spine that leads to disability. There are three types of diseases: chest, neck, lumbar. They all have symptoms.
A dystrophic disorder of the articular cartilage affects the space between the vertebrae. Osteochondrosis destroys cartilage tissue, causing thinning. Everything around him was inflamed, including the nerve fibers. Gradually the vertebrae move, the nerves become pinched. It leads to certain symptoms and consequences at every stage of the spine. Neurological manifestations of osteochondrosis are considered important and severe.
The main symptoms of osteochondrosis
The main symptoms of the disease types are:
- Pain in the focus of the disease, worsening of the state of rest.
- Weakness in the body, on waking, all day. It is caused by a lack of oxygen.
- Blood pressure is rising. It is characteristic of cervical osteochondrosis and is also found in other types of the disease.
The disease has vague, generalized main symptoms and therefore requires careful diagnosis. Consider the neurological side of the symptoms.
Neurology in cervical osteochondrosis
Cervical osteochondrosis is a type of dystrophic disorder that affects the vertebrae of the neck. Progressive disease causes severe movement of the vertebrae. Symptomatology is pronounced. The disease is common. Adolescent, younger children are often affected.
Neurological manifestations of cervical spinal dystrophic disorders:
- Cervicalgia is present at all stages of cervical osteochondrosis. It expresses dull pain in the deep tissues of the neck. Patients complain of a "cola in the neck. " The discomfort is present throughout the day and worse at night.
- Inflammation of the anterior muscle of psoriasis is manifested by pain in the side of the neck that radiates tactilely to the appropriate arm. Cramps in the fingers after waking up. It is caused by inflammation of the nerve fibers, the roots of the vertebrae C5-C7.
- Cranialgia is characteristic of severe osteochondrosis of the neck. Burning pain syndrome is expressed in the buttocks above the eyebrows. Even strong painkillers cannot calm down.
- Cochlevestibular feelings are expressed by pain and cracking in the ear. Manifestations of cervical osteochondrosis require urgent medical attention. Oxygen starvation is to blame.
It has manifestations of neuralgia in cervical osteochondrosis that require medical supervision. There are many arteries in the neck. The disease reduces blood flow, causing disturbances, disturbances. We list the main symptoms of the disease from the perspective of neurology.
The manifestations of the disease are not obvious, it refers to the initial stage. Most people see a doctor when they have a second or third stage of illness.
Neurology of thoracic osteochondrosis
Neurological manifestations of thoracic osteochondrosis:
- Painful pain under the shoulder blade - dorsalgia. The man leans forward. Fatigue at the back, unbearable difficulty at the top.
- The plexus around the collarbone and ribs swell. Causes discomfort when reversed. The swelling is palpable under the shoulder blade.
- In the area of the atrium, a person experiences pain. Often there are no heart pathologies, the point is the xiphoid process, which becomes inflamed due to the back disease. The symptom is considered to be bright and widespread. Neurologists face complaints from patients with heartache. The disease does not affect the work of the heart.
These are the main symptoms of chest osteochondrosis in terms of neurological changes in the body. Symptoms include severe discomfort and pain. Pain relieves painkillers, painkillers, psychotropic drugs used in serious illness.
The listed symptoms highlight the manifestation of the disease in the chest region.
Neurology for lumbar osteochondrosis
Manifestations of spinal osteochondrosis come from the general condition, neurology. Osteochondrosis refers to a neurological disease that involves a neuropathologist. Manifestations of dystrophic disorders in the articular cartilage of the lumbar spine from the point of view of neurology:
- Lumboischialgia is a lumbar pain that radiates to the leg. It manifests itself in an awkward situation after a long time. It has a chronic, subacute form. Chronic lumboischialgia is common. Lumbar osteochondrosis is a common symptom of the second stage.
- Lumbago low back pain in the lower back, which is worse at night. There are varieties of lumbago. Each type is different from the nature of the pain.
- Disorders in the nerve roots. Diseases of the lower back are associated with the nerve roots of the back, which become inflamed and interfere with the body’s motor activity.
Lumbar osteochondrosis is a common type of osteochondrosis. One in three patients suffers from dystrophic disorders of the articular cartilage. It sometimes appears in women after childbirth. The lumbar region is associated with pelvic injuries that occurred during childbirth and childbirth.
Exacerbation of the disease is possible during the next delivery. The treatment is performed comprehensively and completely. Most medications are contraindicated for breastfeeding. The doctor needs to find a way out of the situation by setting up a system based on the right medications. Physiotherapy and traditional medicine are often used as a basis. Complete treatment without medication will not work, but the effect of the disease on the body of a young mother is guaranteed to weaken.
The course of osteochondrosis
After indicating how osteochondrosis manifests itself, we note the stages in the course of the disease that are characteristic of the types 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 for up to three months. This is followed by a chronic course that lasts for more than a year. Premature, incomplete treatment threatens severe physical activity problems. Osteochondrosis can lead to disability, treatment should be taken seriously.
Therapy for the relief of osteochondrosis is prescribed by a treating physician, a neuropathologist. Self-care is excluded - the probability of positive dynamics without competent self-care is low.
After the main therapy, the body needs time to recover. The doctor prescribes a physiotherapy course, the application of traditional methods of medicine. Recipes from traditional medicine shorten the healing period if used wisely. Many herbs and natural ingredients help the body consolidate its post-healing results.
