Osteochondrosis is a chronic process associated with malnutrition and destruction of cartilage tissue.It can occur in almost any joint and often affects the intervertebral discs (osteochondrosis of the cervical, thoracic, lumbar spine).
This doesn't happen easily.
In fact, your spine experiences a heavy load every day due to walking upright and the pull of gravity.At the same time, in order to keep the vertebrae and cartilage discs between them healthy and not injured, the entire spine is surrounded by a large number of short and long back muscles, which in turn are interconnected with other organs and parts of the body.
You may be surprised, but recent medical research has convincingly proven that a major role in the development of osteochondrosis is played by weakness, hypotonia, and improper function of the spinal muscles!Therefore, most of the weight is redistributed to the bones and cartilage of the spine.This is the body's protective reflex to maintain an upright posture.But without adequate muscle support, cartilage can't cope.
Microcracks develop in the intervertebral discs, causing inflammation, pain, and stiffness.
Due to continued excessive load, the vertebrae begin to deform and the cartilage discs flatten. In severe cases, it may even lead to complications such as vertebrae displacement, disc herniation, and nerve root compression.
Inflammation and pain occur.All of this can be exacerbated by:
- insufficient physical activity;
- overweight;
- malnutrition;
- Unreasonable living habits (insufficient physical activity, carrying a schoolbag on one shoulder, skewed posture in front of the computer, driving, etc.).
Now you know why we doctors encounter this problem not only in older patients, but also in quite young patients.
Treatment of cervical osteochondrosis.
When suffering from cervical osteochondrosis, very unpleasant and uncomfortable sensations occur: pain in the neck, shoulders, and even numbness in the arms, which are related to the peculiarities of innervation.When chronic, this can lead to problems such as vertebrobasilar insufficiency and cerebrovascular accidents.

As long as the method is correct, long-term positive results can be achieved.
