Osteochondrosis of the chest spine is a disease of the skeletal muscular system, the success of the treatment depends on the timeliness of the diagnosis.It is completely cured in the early stages, but it may be difficult to determine the origin of the disease, because the patient initially did not doubt that the pain and discomfort were related to spinal damage: they did not make him very worried, and he did not rush to the doctor.
Let us try to deal with the typical symptoms of osteoarthritis, the nature of its appearance, the ability to treat and prevent disease.
Linkrosis of the chest spine
- This disease is characterized by changes in nourishment and degeneration in the chest spine, related to cell metabolism disorders.
- In the discs, the protruding (thin and cracked) occurs - the cause of the spinal cord compression, the numbness and paralysis.This is the stage of the disease when only surgical surgery will be helpful.
- The duties of patients and doctors to take timely diagnostic measures and proper treatment.
Symptoms of the disease
The first symptoms of osteoarthritis of the chest area of the spine:
- Back pain (dorsalgia);
- Acute pain of the chest area (Dorsago);
- Uncomfortable during the movement, I don't want to move again so as not to feel pain.
All of these are protruding symptoms - thin, cracked of the discs.Pain appears in the area of the kidneys, liver, heart, pancreas, and stomach.The pathology of the chest area is manifested by intercostal neuropathy, horizontal arthritis, and arthritis of ribs and pectute.A sigh or cough that causes pain or feeling of compression or presence of heavy coma in the chest.
Often the bones and joints of the spine are characterized by the syndrome:
- Vasomotor syndrome is characterized by neurological diseases.The patient feels suddenly red, similar to the climate, pain of other organs and systems.
- Mechanical syndrome in muscle tissue near the center of the disease.With an increase in physical activity, these areas swell.
- Neurological syndrome (Zuzhek disease) or metabolism in tissues can also become a symptom of the disease.
Differences compared to other diseases
Difficulties in diagnosing and early detection of osteoarthritis of the chest area are its symptoms that are easily confused with others.
For example, pectalgy is not only a sign of osteoarthritis, but also myocardial infarction.
With the damage to the spine, the symptoms of Pectaltity occur with the turning, body and lasting for a long time, for more than two weeks.Nitroglycerin in this case is useless.To compare: with coronary artery diseases, the same pain continues for a short period of time.Cardon Cardon's medicine will help eliminate or help reduce it significantly to reduce it.
Pain in the field of appendix, kidney, stomach, bowel - Symptoms of SOMA diseases: appendicitis, nephritis, pyelonephritis, gastritis, stomach ulcers, colitis.During the compression (compression) of the spinal cord, the typical symptoms of these diseases are manifested.The fake -fake syndrome or the feeling of being pressed, the severity of the chest is different from the angina, the characteristic of the patient with angina.Such pain can be caused by chest disease, cervical parts, cervix, causing painful processes of surrounding tissues: muscles and nerves.Pain with fake -Ase syndrome occurs with the turns of the upper body.
Symptoms of compression syndrome are signs of an outer spinal tumor.
Due to the similarity of osteoarthritis of the chest area of the spine with other diseases, it is the correct diagnosis, in which complex measures are taken.
The development of the disease
Let's find out what happens when osteoarthritis occurs:
- First of all, the disc is modified: it is sophisticated, covered with cracks, deformed.At this stage, this disease does not appear symptoms and the patient does not feel anything.
- After that, there were pains related to the stimulation of nerves in the tissues next to the affected disks.In people with muscular mass growing, the risk of pathology is much smaller, because the muscles support the spine, like corset.Pain may be nervous, such as numbness in the limbs, the appearance of goosebumps, modifying the internal organs of the chest.
In the first two stages, the disease is cured.
- Next, the processes of inflammation, hernia, joint disease, the sublimation of individual vertebrae can develop.The most often the hernia in which the Pulpoose spine core is constantly supported by a fibrous ring.When the ring is destroyed, the core crawls, causing acute pain, numbness, paralysis.
- In the fourth stage, the narrowing of the disks occurs, an abnormal growth of bone tissue is possible.Therefore, the spine protects itself from the danger of the spinal cord.
In serious cases, the protruding spinal cord tightness syndrome can cause surrounding pain, reducing sensitivity (gipalggesia).
Factors of disease development
Osteochondrosis of the chest spine develops due to insufficient supply of the disc with useful substances and humidity.The spinal discs are different from other body tissues in that they are not provided with nutritional factors through the network of ships and food from neighboring tissues.With a deficiency of liquid, nutrients, a phenomenon called protruding is characterized by edges, tweaking, cracking and destroying the disc.
Degenerative changes appear for the following reasons:
- Genetics, related to underdevelopment and blood circulation pathology.
- Innate, causing the weakness of the musculoskeletal system: rickets, kyphosis, scoliosis, prayer.
- The salt deposit next to the disks (Osteophytes), published a crisis of spinal exploration time.
- Violation of nutrient metabolism and microcirculation in tissues due to trauma and infectious diseases
People at risk:
- experience heavy physical activity;
- In improper posture, in which the pathological consequences are the same as after the injury;
- There is a sedentary job;
- Working under the profession associated with a continuous shaking organism (drivers).
When to see a doctor?
With the disease of the spine for the doctor, you need to go quickly.How to understand that the case is in the spine?With osteoarthritis, it may be difficult to understand or not immediately.In the first stage, pain is not felt.
Miss!If there are pain in the chest and back, their exact source is difficult to determine, because it has vibrated through the body: first it hurts next to each other, then alternating - shoulders, ribs, collarbones, in any sequence.This is usually a sign of damage to the chest spine.
Can the pain can be reduced before seeing a doctor?
So far there is no accurate diagnosis, thorough treatment is not used.In fact, there are diseases in it, for example, the heat processes are banned (with some types of tumors).With throbbing pains, painkillers and an ambulance call.In other cases, heavy loads are excluded by sedation, find the body position conveniently and avoid strong shock effects (jump).At the first chance, they went to the doctor to confirm the diagnosis and prescription.
Diagnosis of spinal spine in the chest area
Always conduct comprehensive tests to eliminate diseases with similar symptoms.
The diagnostic method includes:
- Anamnesis;
- Check and touch;
- Computer layer tomb, accurate diagnosis and clarifying the development stage of the disease;
- X -rays as a method of cutting another class, capable of revealing cracks on the plate and forming growth;
- Ultrasound, ECG, endoscopy, fluorescence, general tests eliminate diseases, similar to symptoms similar to osteoarthritis.
More complete diagnosis, more accurate diagnosis.Along with osteoarthritis, other spinal diseases can be detected, this is taking into account the doctor when diagnosing and prescribing treatment.
How to treat spinal osteoarthritis?
Medical treatment of osteoarthritis will lead to the treatment of patients completely if the diagnosis is done promptly.
- First of all, it is resolved to relieve pain, for this purpose, the drugs are prescribed - pain relievers, blockade pain when injecting Novocaine, during a period of release of the patient from the pain that cannot be tolerated;
- Physics with current, laser, magnetic equipment;
- Metal or acupuncture therapy, performed by professional doctors;
- Gymnastics therapy under the supervision of a physiotherapist;
- The purpose of chondroprotors;
- Surgical intervention is exchanged in serious cases, when other methods are useless.
Folk remedies
All folk methods to treat osteoarthritis are divided into pathogens and symptoms.Pathogens - for the purpose of fighting the disease.They include:
- Physiotherapy procedures;
- Massage begins with studying pain points for 8-12 minutes, then the time increases;Massage is only displayed in the absence of acute pain;
- A diet, in which patients refuse grapes and beans, systematically accepting substances containing natural chondroitin, a substance that enhances the interatorebral disc: meat, broth and.etc. The use of vegetables and fruits contributes to the cleaning of the body;
- In the appearance of acute pain - warming with salt and sand;
- Acupuncture.
Symptomatic agents that aim to reduce the symptoms of the disease include external and internal phyteter therapy.
Prevention of disease
To prevent osteoarthritis, in general, and osteoarthritis of the chest area of the spine, in particular, some conditions must be met:
- Sleep on a hard surface and on the pillow with a slope of not more than 15 degrees, compared to the mattress;
- Avoid neck cutting loads on the spine and industries, related to shaking body;
- Observe the right way of life;
- Regular drinking water, preventing dehydration;
- Pregnant women are registered in the early stages, using vitamins and factors that contribute to the accurate development of the fetus;
- Preventing rickets in a child, is a prevention of disorders in the musculoskeletal system.
Osteochondrosis of the spine is a disease that can be treated, especially in the early stages.Regarding the next people, if it is not possible to completely overcome this disease, there is no reason for despair.Current treatments are designed to significantly reduce the suffering of the patient.Early diagnosis, the implementation of all prescriptions of the doctor can completely save patients from tired disease.
