Chest spine osteochondrosis: symptoms, treatment, degree, gymnastics

The "chameleon" disease that disguises dangerous diseases of the heart and lungs causes panic attacks and a feeling of air deficiency - this is the chest spine osteochondrosis.The symptoms can be so diverse that an inexperienced doctor who tries to find the cause can prescribe many tests and sometimes get into intense care.

We talk about how to understand exactly the osteochondrosis of the chest region and how it improves.

Reasons

The disease is quite rare.The reason for this is that the joints between the spine, that is, the vertebrae, are almost motionless in the chest region.And if a person performs a sharp movement or often moves with the axis of intervertebral joints (for example, digging or raising severity with just one hand), all chest vertebrae should be turned on at the same time.They do not work separately separately.

The causes of chest osteochondrosis are as follows:

• Skoliosis in the chest or lumbosacral region;
• excessive or incorrect physical effort;
• Chest spine injuries;
• Overweight - more than 10% of the face with face skin;
• Violation of metabolism - as a result of endocrine disease (diabetes -breast, adrenal glands and others) or inadequate nutrition;
• disorders in the formation of chest spine;
• Hypodynamia (the intervertebral plate - destroyed by osteochondrosis - is also fed by the back muscles).

Degree of chest osteochondrosis

Doctors have decided to distinguish the degree of osteocondrosis of the chest region to understand how far the plate was destroyed between the vertebrae of the two breasts.

So there are 4 degrees breasts osteochondrosis:

• 1 degree.The intervertebral disk loses moisture, becomes more fragile, and cracks appear in it.This is accompanied by a slight pain on its own.
• 2 degrees.The amount of fluid in the fibrous ring of the vertebral disc will be even lower: the height of the plate is reduced and the cracks (especially one of them) are deepened.The error fills the "core" of the disk - a pulpoose seed that further turns the crack.The paste does not penetrate the outside.The back muscles in the area of the damaged intervertebral disc are strained and try to prevent the spinal column from turning towards the "leaked" disk.This causes a severe back pain to take a break at work.
• 3 degrees.The fibrous ring of the plate reaches the edge of the vertebrae, the pulpuosis seed rushes into it and reaches out.Thus, 3 degrees are a vertebral hernia.With it, the pain can be felt almost every time - when work is done.We need to change the work easier.Self -service saved.
• 4 degrees.In the area of affected discs, the connective tissue increases.Block the adjacent vertebrae.In addition, the spinal bone tries to compensate for a decrease between the vertebrae and increases.Bone "spines" appear - osteophytes.

Symptoms

At the very beginning

Although the pulpic core did not make the way inside the ring around it, it almost does not manifest itself.Occasionally, in the case of tilt or lifting weight, pain may occur between the blades, which passes fast enough after rest.

In the acute stage, the symptoms of chest spine osteochondrosis can be very varied, this is:

The chest pain

It hurts more often and is long -term, but sometimes sharp.Localization:

• Back - between the blades;
• heart area;
• under the spoon;
• In the ribs - it will be painful to breathe.

The difference between osteochondrosis this pain is that:

• It's not so strong that you can lose consciousness.This is typical of myocardial infarction;
• does not arise in response to emotional load - only physical;
• It does not appear if he walks against the wind, climbing the stairs or when the cold reaches;
• It increases as hands, twists and tendencies;
• Engaging to take a deep breath;
• The attack of pain differs in localization and intensity (for example, in the case of angina pectoris, there will be stereotypes);
• It does not go if the load is stopped;
• It can be located when someone is pushed to the spine of the chest region: it will be very painful in one place;
• Gives your hand, though more often - in 2 hands.But even if it gives it to the left hand (as is the heartache), it is not the little finger;
• It does not depend on eating such as gastritis or angina pectoris;
• Nitroglycerin does not remove it, which, on the contrary, helps angina pectoris;
• It does not increase when the chest gland feels (if it seemed to hurt).In this case, there are no nodes or seals in the chest;
• There is no thing that the pain gradually increased, but after the stress was stopped, the nitroglycerin suddenly disappeared.This is typical of angina pectoris;
• The pain is not accompanied by nausea, heartburn, clamp.This can talk about gastritis and angina pectoris.

Feeling in the chest

This may result in a "incomplete breath".This symptom is usually accompanied by back pain, but even if there is no pain, there is no intoxication as pneumonia (weakness, the desire for relaxation, a decrease in appetite).This can cause panic, but after reassuring it, it counts your heart rate.In the case of chest osteochondrosis, no more than 100 strokes will be per minute and may be in the case of heart or lung disease.

Other symptoms

• Violation of sensitivity in their hands or in two hands: they become "cooler", frozen, "gooseboats run on them."
• In some cases, the symptoms of osteochondrosis of the chest region resemble a panic attack (fear, heartbeat, sweating).In combination with the pain behind the sternum, this may indicate a myocardial infarction, so in this case it is better to take nitroglycerine (up to 3 tablets) and call an ambulance that removes the cardiogram.
• Disorder of the digestive system: stomach inflammation, constipation, bloating, periodic abdominal pain, frequent exacerbation of periodic diarrhea - without the failure of the diet.

In the case of chest osteochondrosis, such symptoms last about 10-14 days, provided that it has temporarily stopped bending and twisting movements.The disease goes to the subacute stage.

Signs in the Subakut section

There is still pain and difficulty breathing, but they are no longer so intense and less worried.So, if you need to find a situation in the acute phase to fall asleep and not drown, you do not have to use such efforts during the subacute period.

The stage lasts 12-14 days.If you observe all your doctor's recommendations, do not raise the weights, bend or hypothermia, the remission stage will appear - when all symptoms leave.If the system is disturbed, the disease may once again enter the acute stage.

Emission

There are no symptoms during this period.Maybe, of course, to "shoot" under the ribs if you decide to work physically, but it will disappear quickly.

The worsening of the disease can be provoked:

• physical activity (especially lifting weights and inclinations);
• voltage;
• hypothermia;
• sharp change in heat to cold (dive into a hole or bathing in the snow after bathing);
• failed campaign masseur or manual therapy;
• long -lasting finding in a bent position;
• Alcohol consumption (especially in combination with one of the above factors).

Diagnosis

Diagnosis and treatment of chest spine is involved with a neurologist (neuropathologist).When you come to it, you describe your complaints, perform initial checks: examine the gaps between the mammal germs (with osteochondrosis, you can find a painful point) and determine the reflexes and sensitivity of your hands.

You need to confirm your diagnosis:

• ECG, possibly-treadmill load (fiber test).This excludes angina pectoris;
• chest spine radiography or computer tomography;
• In women, especially in the elderly, mammography, since the breast osteochondrosis symptoms often accompany mammary diseases, are not always malignant.

Treatment

Treatment of osteochondrosis of the chest region, the doctor will say - after confirming the diagnosis, determining the stage and nature of the infringements (hands sensitivity, respiratory disorders).

Minimum motor activity is recommended in the acute stage, in bed, or at least half flooring.In the future, the system will expand.Usually these methods are used to treat osteochondrosis (they need their complex):

Drug treatment

Non -steroid anti -inflammatory These are painkillers. Drunk in the form of tablets or glued as a patch ("alpha") - if the pain is tolerant.During the subacute period, they can be used as an ointment for osteochondrosis.And in an acute period with severe pain - only as an injection. This is the analogues of diclofenac (Voltaren, Almiral, Olfen, Naklofen, diklak) - the NSAID group is most "strong". These include ibuprof ", praying", nise. Anesthetic drugs such as mix, ketanov or ketalong are better not used - have a weak anti -inflammatory effect.

Musorelaxants Their task is to relieve muscle spasm, which keeps the spine from the turn and transmits nerve endings and blood vessels.During the acute period, it is better to take them to osteochondrosis and then switch to tablets. This is Midokalm, Tizalud, Sirdalud.

Chondropotectors These are drugs whose efficiency continues to be disputed.Nevertheless, many doctors recommend using a long course for them - give the discs between the vertebrae the opportunity to recover. This is Arthra, Alflutop, Don, Teraflex, Structures and others.

Vitamin B b vitamins They need them to improve the pulse of the nerve on the muscle.During the acute period, it is better to start with injections, such as neurorubin, then switch to neurorubin, Milgamma, neuroinitan or others.

Please note to relieve the pain of the breast osteochondrosis!You can breathe in full force, improving the whole body's oxygen nutrition.In addition, the prevention of surface breathing is the prevention of stagnant pneumonia.

Physiotherapy

This treatment improves the effects of drugs.Applied:

1. Electrophoresis anesthetics and drugs that improve local circulation.In this case, the medicine is carried out directly in the back of the back with electrical shots.
2. Magnetic therapy.As a result of the magnetic field, the work of damaged nerve endings improves and tissue edema is removed.
3. Phonophoresis (introduction of ultrasound drugs) promotes better anesthesia of disadvantages and eliminating inflammation of the damaged tissues.It can also improve metabolism as a result of exposure.
4. Acupuncture - Introduction of special sterile needles into active points that are responsible for the work of the chest spine.
5. Laser therapy according to the external method - enhances blood circulation in tension muscles and in the suffering intervertebral disc.

Massage

Osteochondrosis massage is an effective procedure when a specialist is done.Massage sessions can improve blood circulation in the affected area, relax the cramped muscles, improve blood outflow and lymphatic from this zone.This accelerates healing and reduces pain.

Important: Massage and osteochondrosis charge are contraindicated during the acute period of the disease.2 weeks after acute pain and breathing difficulties.Massage should not cause discomfort or pain!

Massage courses are recommended at least twice a year to reduce the amount of aggravation.Can be:

• Therapeutic manual massage: with the hands of exposure to the shade of the muscles that have lost and lose their voices to normalize their condition;
• Hardware: Muscle test based on various exciting manipulars.You can also use the services provided by cosmetologists: endosphere and LPG massage.They also have a good influence on the sore back;
• In this case, biologically active points are elaborated manually, as a result of the condition of the internal organs is poured due to the turning of the spine;
• Small: Effect on the muscles that change the sound is produced with a vacuum.

Practice therapy

Osteochondrosis exercises can only be started during the subacute period and in the remission and after removal of the disk hernia.

LFK is contraindicated, if the back muscles are still very tense, one vertebra is pressed tight to the other, which requires surgical intervention with severe pain.

Grammar natives of osteochondrosis are recommended with self -determination of the spine.To do this, you need to take a wide and smooth board and fasten it to the wall at one end.At a height of 100 cm (to make an angle of 30-45 °).The bottom edge is lying on the floor.To the upper wind, on both sides, 2 leather straps for approx.They are 45 cm long fixed - so you can get through them and then take your hands out.

The method of self -guide is to go up with your back, with your hands, with your hands, in the straps.Place the soft tissue under the knees when you rise in a roller and lie down for 10-15 minutes.Not to be painful.If there is pain, increase the angle of the skateboard.If this does not help, you have to do this differently:

• Make a blanket on the floor;
• Lie on the cylinder to have a blocked area on top of the top;
• Slightly dilute your leg;
• Elbows and knees - bent, touch the floor, the weight of the body lies on them;
  The head should hang slightly or lie on folded brushes;
• If you do not feel that the spine is prolonged, you can increase the load: move your legs and arms back;
• 5 minutes inspiration for 10 seconds to tighten your back muscles on exhalation - rest
• Relax and breathe in the stomach - another 5 minutes.

Bridge

Instead of such efforts, you can use the simulator called "bridge to stretch the spine".It stretches its spine and, above all, provides the injured chest region - under the weight of its own body (a metal arc).

If you use it during remission, only 5 minutes a day will allow you to extend the painless period significantly.This simulator has many positive opinions.

Complications of chest osteochondrosis

They belong to:

• pneumosclerosis;
• arrhythmias;
• vegetative-vascular dystonia;
• Violation of digestive organs;
• The deterioration of sexual and reproductive function - both women and men.

Prevention

In order to never feel osteochondrosis (especially if there is little to move or are already skoliosis), pay attention to such prevention measures:

1. Do not cool up.
2. Do not suddenly raise the severity: this must happen after preparation.
3. Follow your posture when you sit and walk.Ergonomic chairs can be installed in the car, which supports its back evenly.
4. Be sure to take a break during work: get up, go, let's do your back - for the spine to get enough power.
5. Do not start skoliosis: treat it on time.
6. Reduce the amount of salt and sugar in the diet.
7. Except for the vessels containing smoked meats, marinades, sharp spices.Baked products should also be removed.
8. Sleep on the orthopedic mattress and a low (or orthopedic) pillow.
