Symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis in women

Symptoms of female osteochondrosis can be detected in advance, as cervical spine discs are located close to each other and have a small height.Cervical osteochondrosis is capable of causing serious consequences - complications and even a fatal consequences.Indeed, the arteries pass through the neck that nourishes the brain, nerve tights and roots that are in relation to the spinal cord with the lungs, hands and hearts.Therefore, do not postpone treatment with a good doctor.

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

Cervical osteochondrosis can cause an increase in temperature and poor health.

Important!Especially acute cervical osteochondrosis is experienced by women who are in menopause.

Features of female osteochondrosis

Osteochondrosis is a violation in the musculoskeletal system, causing intervertebral discs and joints to be destroyed.Due to the characteristics of the body structure, symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis in women appear more clearly than men.The fact that the shoulder area of the men is widespread, it supports the entire spine, which helps not overload the neck.

The Women's Cervical Spinal Department is characterized by high activity and the presence of large number of nerve fibers, which serve as conductors between the brain and other organs.The deformation of the intervertebral disc is rapidly pressure on the roots of the nerve end fibers.Broadly, women have more delicate vertebrae and thin bone tissue.

Important!Pregnancy also increases the problem with later care of the child.During pregnancy, the load on the spine increases, and breastfeed in an uncomfortable position and continuously wearing the baby in the hands causes the regeneration of the disease.

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

1. Reduction in spinal conditions due to dehydration of the Pulpose nucleus (Insides of intervertebral discs, which should be filled with half life and jackets in general).
2. Muscle and ligaments relaxation, which is the cause of imbalance, ie, displacement of vertebrae.
3. Intervertebral discs (output from their content) and protections of arthrosis.
4. The human body is trying to help back the spine "refined" vertebrates, eliminates support and protective obstacles.To do this, osteophytes originate on the vertebrae - bone growth.The fibrous tissue also increases.As a result, the spinal motor section occurs in a type of shell that interferes with the activity.

Causes of disease in women

It is believed that the occurrence of cervical osteochondrosis in women is associated with salts, but it is not so.It is accurately osteochondrosis which is the main cause of salt deposits.Scientists argue that there are several grounds for the presence of osteochondrosis of the cervical region.Consider the main:

• Klimax.The fact is that the progesterone entering the body decreases and decreased, and muscles in the cervical region also decrease.All this leads to the weakening of the spinal department;
• Weakness of immunity, persistent diseases;
• Additional weight;
• Violation of communication;
• Abnormalities of the vertebral artery arising against the background of common injuries, infections and heredity;
• Motionless work, especially on computer;
• Flat legs;
• Improper currency;
• Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption;
• Excessive sports;
• Large weight of spine during pregnancy;
• Inappropriate and unbalanced diet;
• Problems with poor metabolism, metabolism;
• No damage to the neck;
• Arthritis or injury;
• Hormonal disorders in the body;
• Hypothermia;
• Heredity.

Extra weight has an additional load on ligaments and joints, it also leads to problems with the cardiovascular system.

Cervical osteochondrosis is dangerous

Lack of treatment may motivate a woman to disability.If you do not start treatment of osteochondrosis on time, there is a risk of complications - from the most negligible to serious:

1. Constant head pain, dizziness.
2. Regular sudden loss of consciousness.
3. Problems with hearing and vision.
4. Blood circulation in the brain is disturbed.
5. Frequent increase in blood pressure.
6. In the central nervous system, problems may begin: speech loss, coordination and behavioral disorder.
7. Radiculitis and other back diseases.
8. Vessels will be squeezed in the brain.
9. Karuka displacement.
10. Violation of walking due to spinal stenosis.
11. Intervertebral hernias and protrusions.
12. Shamoral hernia.

An increase in blood pressure in osteochondrosis may be associated with poor blood flow in the arteries on the way to the brain.The arteries are pinching due to osteochondrosis.

Examination and treatment

Cervical osteochondrosis has many common symptoms with other diseases, therefore, before treatment, neuropathologist carefully listens to the patient and collects an enamse.

After that, clinical studies are performed:

• Radiography.Using X-rays of the cervical spine, the doctor determines the location of the disease.In the picture, he will see a change in the size of the spinal segment, the presence of osteophytes and narrowing of the intervertebral disc.
• Calculated tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.Today, this is the most effective way to find out what and where the defects are located in the spinal column.
• Milography.For examination, the patient is introduced as per the fluid in the spinal channel.The process is not safe: The patient may develop an allergy and is at risk of damage to the spinal cord with puncture.However, with cervical osteochondrosis, such a study is rarely performed, until you need to see the whole spine.

MRI will help establish a diagnosis and determine the degree of development of pathology.

To cure cervical osteochondrosis, the doctor prescribes complex treatment.Therapy functions are: removing muscle cramps, relief from pain and intra -dyscond pressure.In different stages of development of the disease, a variety of therapies are used.

Usually the treatment passes through stages:

1. Drug treatment.Restoring cartilage tissue using chondroprotectors.For blood supply in the brain region, vasodilating drugs are used.All of the above will eliminate inflammation, pain and improve metabolic processes in the intervertebral disc.As first aid, painful and anti -anti -drugs are used as gel or tablets.Nototropics and drugs can be prescribed with magnesium.With osteochondrosis, sedative can be taken, as prolonged illness can cause stress and depression.Sometimes it is sufficient to drink a motherworte or valerian tincture.

Physiotherapy.Its purpose is to eliminate violations in the affected areas of the spinal, relief of pain syndrome and improvement of blood circulation.A good massage for a competent specialist, electrophoresis with pain relievers, as well as laser therapy can help in the early stages of disease development.Processes relieve muscle stress and stimulate blood circulation.In severe cases, magnetotherapy, dideanamic currents, ultrasound, electrongeia and ultraviolet are used.Physiotherapy gives an effect after the third process, the normal condition improves, insomnia, headache, and playing in the ears.
3. manual therapy.There are good effectiveness and grateful reviews of treatment.The manual therapist will return to its place in several sessions, ensure their dynamics and correct posture.

Acupuncture.It is also called reflexology.The goal has an effect on dystrophic changes in muscle tissue, relieving inflammation and pain, normalization of blood circulation.Women with low pain indicators have a good chance of recovery, their lymph flow is intensified and blood flow becomes normal.
5. Orthopedic treatment.The expert writes special sleep pillows to unload the spinal column.A spinal extension (traction) is also recommended for the exemption of the muscles from the action of hot water.The traction involves the use of various devices in traction to increase intervertebral space.

6. Proper and pure nutrition.Providing the body with beneficial fats, carbohydrates and protein -with the intake of minerals and vitamins, can significantly speed up a female healing process.
7. physical activity.Doctors can prescribe both remedial physical education and special charging for cervical spine.The purpose of physical education is to restore the dynamics of cervical-broned zone and blood supply.It corrects the asana and strengthens muscle corsets.In addition, regular sports, for example, in the gym, will not allow cervical osteochondrosis to progress.
8. Wearing a corset.There is a special tool for the cervical region, called collar.It is distinguished by hardness and stability.Wearing a collar will eliminate pain syndrome, improves posture and recovery will accelerate.
