Dorsopathies cervical spine. What is it, symptoms, treatment of the child, adult

Dorsopathies cervical spine - it is a condition of the spine that affects the uppermost part of the axial skeleton of the person. Pain initially invisible, and then grow and grow. Short-term muscle tension causes a bout of neurogenic nature.

What is the whiplash dorsopathies

Dystrophic condition typical dorsopathies cervical spine, causing pain symptoms. The basis is a violation of the functions of the vertebrae, the surrounding tissue, discs and calcium accumulation. The disease can affect children and adults.

Literally dorsum means the rear side of the body, extending from the bottom of the neck. This is a generalized notion of painful symptoms, which is not an independent nosological unit.

Illness, according to international standards, divided into several groups:

• progressive, degenerative;
• deforming without breaking the intervertebral discs;
• Spondylopathy with lesions of the intervertebral joints.

The disease manifests itself in a sudden, subacute and chronic form. On the mechanism of distinguished local pain, and neuropathic projection.

Effect of the disease on the body

Dorsopathies cervical spine - it is a phenomenon in which the broken fibro-cartilaginous education and obtained vasomotor and neurodystrophic disorders in the tissues.

The cervical spine is the most vulnerable because of their mobility and constant high load. If the destroyed vertebral tissue, there is a reduction of blood flow to the brain, which provokes pain syndromes.

At the heart disease is a disorder MPD. The increased load of the cervical spine causes dryness and effacement disc nucleus, so the vertebrae are taking the full load. Coming into contact with each other, they cause deformation and flattening. Comes the pathological process of displacement of the vertebrae and the formation of bone spurs.

Reduces desiccation intervertebral foramen, causing painful compression of spinal nerve roots, disrupted vascular circulation.

Dorsopathies causes of cervical spine

The emergence and development of the disease is influenced by external and internal factors.

External factors, which can affect, and are associated with the image of the patient's life:

• wrong organization workplace;
• uncomfortable place to rest;
• excessive leverage;
• passive lifestyle;
• insufficient consumption of vitamins A, E, B, B12, D;
• meager intake of clean drinking water;
• increased physical activity;
• mechanical injury;
• uneven load.

Internal factors associated with severe diseases of the internal organs, which affect the bone structures.

This group includes diseases:

• scoliosis;
• low back pain;
• spondylosis;
• kyphosis;
• lumbago;
• hernia;
• lordosis.

Dorsopathies cervical spine - is a state, which is used only as a preliminary diagnosis, to identify the main causes.

Symptoms dorsopathies cervical spine

Disease is diagnosed by analyzing the symptoms.

The primary diagnosis is a characteristic clinical picture:

• sharp pain in the neck area;
• tightness, muscle tension, mainly in the morning;
• increased pain during movement and tilt of the head;
• when turning the head, I heard the crunch;
• worried about nausea;
• neck pain often turn to the fingers, brushes;
• numbness;
• cross to the shoulder;
• dizziness.

Dorsopathies cervical spine causes insomnia, headache, irritability. This is happening because of the fact that the circulation of the blood vessels is broken, manifested palpitations and high blood pressure. Headaches accompanied by noises in the ears, staggering. By turning the head and signs of growing pains increased.

diagnosis of the disease

Determine the location of pathological processes and provide basic treatment can help to timely diagnosis.

diagnosing various ways:

• to prevent inflammatory and infectious processes are studied laboratory blood tests;
• ECG is needed to time to detect heart disease;
• examination by a neurologist physician allows you to find signs of neurological disorders;
• Spine X-rays needed to evaluate its state structure and function;
• computed tomography reveals disease spinal card determines pinched nerves, ring rupture discs, a change in the dura mater;
• using magnetic resonance imaging thoroughly investigated vertebral column surrounding the spinal discs and a bundle with the clear visibility of blood vessels, nerve sprouting;
• Consultation of Orthopedic Trauma.

Method ECG performed by X-ray apparatus in two perpendicular and oblique projections. Sometimes carried out functional tests - slopes, flexion, extension. This makes it possible to assess the extent of damage to the peripheral nerves and the spine.

In preparation for the surgical treatment for decompression of the spinal cord is performed myelogram. This diagnostic method is not the original diagnosis and administered in severe cases.

One of the most informative research is MRI using nuclear magnetic resonance. Imaging explores how the spine as a whole and its parts. Diagnosis may include the study of the sensitivity of muscle strength and reflexes.

Prevention dorsopathies cervical spine

Reduce whiplash probability of dorsopathies can help simple but effective measures.

These include:

• daily physical activity;
• clothing for the weather;
• lessons in swimming pools;
• hovering on the bar;
• monitoring the weight;
• normalization of a balanced diet;
• alternating stress and rest;
• regular medical examination at the orthopedist and neurologist.

Stabilizing the cervical vertebrae contributes to special exercises.

This is a series of exercises, which affects muscle strengthening:

• Slowly turn your head to either side, pulling your chin shoulder;
• He tilts his head, touching the shoulder ear;
• maximally straining muscle group, press the right hand and then left temple;
• pressing his forehead on his hand, and then the back of the head on the hand;

It is also recommended for a long stay in one position from time to time to stretch your neck, do light tilts his head.

To which the doctor ask

Dorsopathies cervical spine - it is a disease in which it is recommended to go directly to the clinic. First, you can go to a local therapist. Once you know which symptoms bother the patient, it directs to a neurologist. That, in turn, issues a direction to the survey.

After reviewing received assays, a patient goes to the narrow specialists vertebronevrolog.

For acute pain in the cervical spine medical record transfer trauma surgeon. Bringing in the patient's normal with the help of complex therapeutic techniques involved chiropractor.

Methods of treatment of the cervical spine dorsopathies

Differential diagnosis to determine the origins of the emergence of pain and perform the appropriate localized treatment. It can take place via physical treatments, pharmaceuticals, manipulation, folk ways.

drug therapy

For the treatment of acute pain and withdrawal syndromes, and muscle spasm treatment is prescribed drugs. For removal of the inflammatory pain process and used analgesics, muscle relaxants, hondroprotektory inhibitors.

1. ultraviolet radiation synthesizes vitamin D metabolites, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, it helps to relieve muscle spasm. Exposure takes place from 2 to 7 min for 5 - 10 daily treatments.
2. Electrotherapy It based on the use of electric current in medicinal purposes. Heat magnetic and electromagnetic fields enhances blood circulation, stimulate the regeneration process and reduce inflammation. Exposure time - 10 minutes, the course consists of 5-10 daily procedures.
3. Laser therapy anti-inflammatory, analgesic effect with a laser, which active medium is a mixture of helium and neon. Impact passes through the anterolateral surface of the neck. For the treatment of at least six courses required to hold.
4. diadynamic assigned to eliminate muscle tension and compression of the nerve roots. It happens combination passing currents, causing a reduction of skeletal and smooth muscle. It is necessary to carry out 10 daily treatments for 1-2 minutes.
5. magnetotherapy It stimulates all cellular processes. The magnetic field exerting a specific effect on the organism, eliminates unpleasant and painful symptoms. A course of exposure is from 10 to 20 sessions.
6. Shock-wave treatment blocks pain, improves blood flow. acoustic wave transmission to painful areas of the body cells and updates the affected area of ​​tissue, removes muscle spasms. extracorporeal treatment is 5-7 for 7-10 minutes treatments.
7. Balneotherapy, and mud is skin penetration minerals and their effect on the receptors, nervous centers. Treatment involves 10 procedures, where 5 treatments carried out every day, and the next 5 - a day.
