The upper limbs are periodically numb and the mobility of the tongue is disturbed?Are you worried about headaches and weakness?Does the pressure increase abruptly or fall, the heart rate is lost or accelerated?The symptoms indicate nerves and pinched problems with the spine.The most likely cause is cervical osteochondrosis, which is accompanied by muscle spasms and dizziness.The disease, contrary to myths, appears in young people and requires adequate treatment.
Factors and precautions
Causing cervical osteochondrosis is capable of:
- bad metabolism;
- sedentary or sedentary lifestyle;
- Microcirculation disorder, which is a hereditary disease;
- Lesions of the neck or shoulder department.
Patients who suspect signs of osteochondrosis recommend first consulting a doctor and go through TC or magnetic resonance.In addition, take blood tests to understand what exactly the development of the disease caused.
The treatment is selected individually, depending on the cause.The doctor gives an address for massage or prescribes tablets, ointments or gels with an anti -inflammatory effect.Sometimes, spasms and pain disappear if you buy an orthopedic pillow or change jobs.
No one is safe from cervical osteochondrosis, but at risk they are:
- office workers;
- sellers;
- medical staff;
- teachers;
- administrators;
- hair salon;
- Programmers
Representatives of these professions are much or sit on the computer, but the cervical and shoulder departments remain inactive.The muscles weaken, the cartilage loses elasticity and intervertebral discs receive a minimum of nutrients.The risk of pinching of nerve endings and osteochondrosis increases.
Do you really have to look for a new job?No, if the patient:
- Replace the usual mattress and the downward pillow with orthopedic varieties;
- will select a convenient computer chair with a high back;
- It will be regularly involved at home or in the gym, fragmenting muscles and joints;
- reject nicotine and alcohol;
- Check the usual diet and make some amendments.
Women who leave high heels and ballet shoes or sports shoes are recommended.
Osteochondrosis will not disappear immediately after the purchase of the right pillow or two or three classes in the gym, but gradually, well -being will improve, and the symptoms will disappear with the disease itself.
More vegetables and proteins
The recovery is promoted by adequate nutrition.Patients with excess body weight are recommended to gradually lose weight to reduce load in joints and intervertebral discs.But hunger is prohibited, in addition to sitting in mono -dietas.
A person with osteochondrosis must receive a sufficient amount of calcium and magnesium per day, as well as phosphorus and potassium.The restoration of nerve endings is facilitated by vitamins B that eliminate inflammation, and the ascorbic acid necessary for collagen production.It cannot do without the protein contained in meat and eggs.
The condition of the cervical vertebrae gets worse due to salt, fried foods and animal fats.We will have to forget the existence of the pan and love the steam plates, replace the butter with vegetable oil and buy chicken breast instead of sausage.
Marinados and white bread, canned food, sweet drinks and semolina are leading to the exacerbation of osteochondrosis.Inflammation and pain in the cervical region will eliminate:
- Parsley, which dilutes blood;
- Sea fish and salads with flaxseed oil;
- nuts and cod liver;
- legumes, in which there are many vitamins of group B and proteins;
- chicken meat or beef;
- Honey;
- steam vegetables and fresh or baked fruits;
- Disaldo that contains jelly;
- The boiled veins of meat that perform the function of the condroprotectors.
Metabolic processes normalize cereals and dairy products, herbal decoctions and ordinary water.The dehydrated organism is restored more slowly, and the soft and bone tissues with the lack of fluids become fragile.
Coffee and black tea are contraindicated in osteochondrosis, which have a diuretic effect and contribute to calcium leaching and other useful minerals of the body.
