One of the most common disc diseases is cervical osteochondrosis.Spinal disorders affect 85% of the world’s population.
The first signs of the disease may appear between the ages of 25 and 40.Osteochondrosis often causes headaches.If left unchecked, it can lead to a herniated vertebrae, which can lead to a hernia.
In recent years, cervical osteochondrosis has been more common in people over 40 years old; now, the age of people suffering from the disease has dropped significantly.Symptoms of the disease may appear in adolescents as young as 12 years old.
Precisely due to frequent activity, the cervical spine becomes more susceptible to injury and any painful changes.The neck, like the spine, is made up of vertebrae, discs, and ligaments.The cervical vertebrae are more closely connected, so even the smallest load can cause cervical vertebrae displacement and narrowing of blood vessels and nerves.
reason
The main cause of cervical osteochondrosis may be a sedentary lifestyle such as driving for long periods of time, sewing, working on a computer in an office, etc.Increased pressure can also be a catalyst for the disease: sharp turns, bends and extensions, rapid movements in any direction can have a negative impact on the spine.
- genetic predisposition;
- Susceptible to infection, poisoning, and metabolic disorders;
- Undernutrition or excess, overweight;
- Bruises and broken bones;
- Scoliosis, lordosis, kyphosis;
- Hypothermia often occurs.
treat
Typically, experts use a conservative approach to treat this type of degenerative spinal disease.Anti-inflammatory drugs are usually used for pain, NSAIDs are used for moderate pain, and injections are used at the beginning of treatment.The doctor can then prescribe physical treatments: magnetophoresis and laser phoresis.They affect the spine through low-frequency currents and magnetic fields, thereby improving blood circulation and reducing pain symptoms.
