Osteochondrosis is a serious disease of the spine that causes disability. There are three types of the disease: chest, neck, spine. Each has symptoms.
Dystrophic disorders of articular cartilage affect the space between the vertebrae. Osteochondrosis destroys cartilage tissue, causing thinning. Everything around, including nerve fibers, is inflamed. Gradually, the vertebrae move and the nerves constrict. It causes certain symptoms and consequences in every part of the spine. Neurological manifestations of osteochondrosis are considered important and serious.
The main symptoms of osteochondrosis
The main symptoms of the disease are:
- The pain in the center of the disease worsens at rest.
- Weakness in the body is present during the day when you wake up. It is caused by lack of oxygen.
- Blood pressure rises. It is characteristic of cervical osteochondrosis and is found in other types of the disease.
The disease has vague, generalized main symptoms, so a careful diagnosis is required. Consider the neurological side of symptomatology.
Neurology for cervical osteochondrosis
Cervical osteochondrosis is a type of dystrophic disorder that affects the cervical spine. There is a serious displacement of the vertebrae due to the progression of the disease. Symptomatology is pronounced. The disease is common. Often in adolescence, younger children are affected.
Neurological manifestations of dystrophic disorders of the cervical spine:
- Cervical is present in all stages of cervical osteochondrosis. It is expressed by dull pain in the deep tissues of the neck. Patients complain of "cola in the neck". Anxiety worsens during the day and worsens at night.
- Inflammation of the skeletal anterior muscle is characterized by pain in the side of the neck, palpably spreading to the corresponding arm. Cramps in the fingers after waking up. It is caused by inflammation of the nerve fibers, the roots of the C5-C7 vertebrae.
- Cranialgia is characteristic of severe osteochondrosis of the neck. It is expressed in the crown of the head, burning pain syndrome on the eyebrows. Even strong painkillers often do not calm down.
- Cochlevestibular sensations are expressed by pain in the ears, cracking. Manifestations of cervical osteochondrosis require an urgent visit to the doctor. Oxygen starvation is to blame.
Cervical osteochondrosis has neuralgic manifestations that require medical supervision. There are many veins in his neck. The disease reduces blood flow, causes disorders, disorders. Neurology lists the main symptoms of the disease.
Manifestations of the disease are not obvious, but belong to the initial stage. Most people see a doctor when they have a second or third stage of the disease.
Neurology for thoracic osteochondrosis
Neurological manifestations of thoracic osteochondrosis:
- Painful pain under the scapula - dorsalgia. The man leans forward. There is a feeling of fatigue in the back, unbearable heaviness in the upper part.
- The plexuses around the clavicle and ribs swell. It causes discomfort when turning back. Swelling is felt under the scapula.
- A person is in pain in the atrium. Often there are no cardiac pathologies, the point is in the hypoid process, which is inflamed due to low back disease. The symptom is considered bright, widespread. Neurologists face complaints from patients with heart pain. The disease does not affect the heart.
These are the main symptoms of thoracic osteochondrosis in terms of neurological changes in the body. Symptoms are expressed in severe anxiety, pain. Eliminates pain, painkillers, painkillers, psychotropic drugs used in severe illness.
The listed symptoms emphasize the manifestation of the disease in the thoracic region.
Neurology for lumbar osteochondrosis
Manifestations of osteochondrosis of the spine from the general condition, neurology. Osteochondrosis is a neurological disease that is treated by a neurologist. Manifestations of dystrophic disorders in the articular cartilage of the lumbar spine from the neurological point of view:
- Lumboischialgia is a low back pain that spreads to the legs. It manifests itself after a long time in a restless state. It has a chronic, semi-acute form. Chronic lumboischialgia is common. A common symptom of second-degree lumbar osteochondrosis.
- Lumbago is a low back pain that worsens at night. There are different types of lumbago. Each type of pain is different in nature.
- Disorders of nerve roots. Lower back pain is associated with inflammation and nerve roots in the back that disrupt the body's motor function.
Lumbar osteochondrosis is a common type of osteochondrosis. One in three patients suffers from dystrophic disorders of articular cartilage. Sometimes seen in women after childbirth. It is associated with injuries to the pelvis and pelvis that occur during childbirth.
Exacerbation of the disease is possible during the next birth. The treatment is comprehensive. Most drugs are contraindicated for breastfeeding. The doctor should find a way out of the situation by developing a scheme based on appropriate medications. Physiotherapy and traditional medicine are often the mainstays. Without medication, a full-fledged treatment will not work, but the effect of the disease on the young mother's body is weakened.
The course of osteochondrosis
By showing how osteochondrosis manifests itself, we note the stages of the disease, which are specific to the type of disease.
The acute course of the disease lasts 4 weeks. The patient feels slight pain in the inflamed area.
Subacute disease lasts up to three months. This is followed by a chronic course lasting more than a year. Untimely, incomplete treatment threatens serious problems with physical activity. Osteochondrosis can lead to disability, and treatment should be taken seriously.
Therapy to get rid of osteochondrosis is developed by the attending neurologist. Self-medication is excluded - positive dynamics are unlikely without competent self-treatment.
It takes time for the body to recover after basic therapy. The doctor will prescribe a course of physiotherapy, the use of traditional medicine. If traditional medicine prescriptions are used wisely, the recovery time is shortened. There are many herbal, natural ingredients that help the body strengthen the result after recovery.
