Osteochondrosis is a degenerative pathology damaging the intervertebral cartilage and bone structure. In the normal organism functioning, discs in the spinal column soften the load on it, minimizing tension. Pathology complicates these processes, accompanied by strong pain.
Symptomatology based on pathology type, but several common signs have been identified signaling the disease presence.
Cervical osteochondrosis makes itself felt with frequent and strict headaches, strong pressure feeling under the skull and extremities numbness.
Pathology is rapidly spreading, as people spend most of their lives on foot. It overloads the spine. Over time, clefts form on the intervertebral discs, hernias appear, squeezing blood vessels, the spinal cord and nerve endings. Ache is getting stronger, muscle spasms appear.
Over the years, people with professional risks (drivers, salesmen, office workers, hairdressers) move into a high-risk zone. Provocateurs of the pathology occurrence are:
Defects causes, impaired motor functions in the spine:
Specialist examines the patient, monitors reflexes and painful areas sensitivity. Next, patients need to undergo laboratory tests, including checking the calcium level in blood. Then osteochondrosis diagnosis is carried out, in particular, X-ray or CT scan for strong pain.
Treatment methods for synovial osteochondrosis are as follows.
1. Medical therapy:
2. Physiotherapy: massage, manual therapy, osteopathy. Complexes are prescribed individually.
3. Surgical intervention: pathology doesn’t often require the surgical methods involved. Complications risk is high, so surgery is prescribed only in serious occasions, when other options don’t give the desired results.
