Osteochondrosis chest- This is a chaotic change in the disc, local in the chest spine.Treatment is necessary to start immediately after diagnosis, as the disease may quickly enter the chronic form.
The main symptoms of the disease are the limit of the movement ability of the shoulder beams, shortness of breath, discomfort in the stomach and chest pain.The danger for patients is that the symptoms of osteoarthritis are often confused with cardiovascular diseases, so the therapy is done by the wrong disease.
Causes of osteoarthritis
Osteochondrosis chest occurs is the result of pathological changes in the vertebrae and the disc, as well as the blood and nutrient provision.In addition, the disease can be caused by deformation of the spine.
Especially often, people in the sedentary posture suffer from symptoms of osteoarthritis.Basically, these are office workers and students of different ages.Due to continuous sitting without observing the exact position of the body, the load on the vertebra increases significantly, which causes their deformation.
The root cause of the disease:
- The load increases to the spine when the weight is increased
- Changes related to age in the body
- overweight
- The injury of the spine part
- The trend is inherited
Depending on the phase of symptoms, it is divided into 2 clinical cases.In the first case, the pain appears suddenly and has acute shape ("side"). In the second case, long pain and often accompanied by stiffness in the cervical and chest spine.
Treatment of osteoarthritis of the chest is performed by complex methods and diagrams, the synthesis depends on the stage of the disease, the process and its cause.Only one highly qualified expert can deal with this task.
The stages of the disease
The first phaseIt is characterized by the appearance of local pain due to muscle weakness (chest).In addition, in the first stage, there is a tension of the paravertebral muscles of the back, leading to increased pain and limit the ability to move the spine.
Second phaseIt comes with an increase in pain syndrome, because nerve roots are associated with inflammation.Also at this stage, the protrusion and/or herniated disc (MPD) appears.
Third phaseIt causes constant pain in the area of the nerve affected.There is a change in gait, numbness in the limbs, the appearance of headache, shortness of breath and failure.This is due to the significant expression of the disk and spine deformation.The risk of increasing isolation (isolation is the separation of hernia and its movement along the spine, damaging the nerve roots associated with the spinal cord).And this in 90% of cases lead to surgery.
ABOVEFourth phaseThe disease breaks down the functions of the disc.The bone growth of the vertebrae begins to connect the vertebrae nearby.Osteochondrosis of the spine often causes violations of blood supply to the spinal cord.This stage of the disease is the most dangerous, because there is no timely therapy leading to defects.
Treatment
Before conducting treatment, the diagnosis is performed to detect the stage of the disease (initial, acute or chronic).Depending on the existing symptoms, the treatments are selected.
Treatment of osteoarthritis of the chest area is most effective in the early stages, when pathological changes are not clearly shown and can be reversed.
The main sign that this disease has gone into the acute phase are constant painful feelings;The muscles of the back, chest and spine.At this stage in the development of osteoarthritis, the priority task of the doctor is analgesic.
