Protrusion of the cervical spine: a diagnostic technique, tips and recommendations.

With the onset of a certain age, the risk of protrusion of the spinal discs increases. The main factor in this case is osteochondrosis - a degenerative-dystrophic change in disc tissues. Among other reasons, the uneven or increased load on intervertebral discs is called. Due to pathologically incorrect posture, prolonged exposure to uncomfortable or irrational posture, as well as lack of physical activity, prolonged use of weights and excess weight, the probability of spinal cord spasm increases. First of all, this leads to a disruption in the structure of the intervertebral disc. Subsequently, dystrophic changes lead to significant dehydration, which causes a decrease in elasticity and a decrease in the height of the disc. As a result, protrusion or prolapse occurs, a process in which the intervertebral disc extends beyond the vertebral column. The fibrous ring is relatively undisturbed. This condition is considered as an intermediate stage before the formation of the intervertebral hernia.

The protrusion of the cervical spine presents a higher danger in comparison with similar formations in other parts of the spine. It consists in the fact that the vertebral canal of the cervical region has a relatively small diameter, so that even a slight prolapse of the disk provokes a rather significant compression of the spinal cord. Characteristic symptoms in this case: the presence of headaches and dizziness, as well as pain in the humerus and in the arm. With all this, quite often the arterial pressure jumps and the fingers become numb. In the cervical department, pain syndrome is often not observed, which makes it difficult to diagnose the disease in a timely manner.

Protrusion of the cervical spine, treatment

If you do not detect the presence of such degenerative changes in time, this can lead to a sufficiently rapid disability of the patient. Accordingly, this significantly reduces the qualitative component of a person's later life. With this diagnosis, the appointment of treatment procedures takes into account both the main and accompanying factors that accompany the development of the disease.

Treatment of protrusion of the cervical spine includes a point, as well as a general massage, acupuncture procedures necessary to eliminate muscle spasms. This removes stagnant phenomena and restores blood supply and nutrition of the discs. This prevents the further development of protrusion of the disc and, accordingly, the formation of a hernia. Stimulation of the process of self-healing of the structure of the disk tissue allows to gradually eliminate the protrusion, up to the complete disappearance of the negative changes.

The protrusion of the cervical spine is also treated with the help of procedures of magnetic vacuum therapy, stone therapy, vacuum therapy, moxotherapy together with curative gymnastics. It should be noted that any form of such a disease is rarely a single violation in the entire body. Quite often, among the attendant factors, there are other health problems. In order to eliminate them, individual phytotherapy procedures are prescribed, as well as, if necessary, additional treatment procedures.

The protrusion of the cervical spine is fully treatable by conservative methods. Do not try to dull the pain by taking various pain medications. Thus, you ignore the signals that your body sends you so that you can take immediate action. If you leave this point without proper attention and appropriate, qualified treatment, you can aggravate the development of protrusion and bring the matter to the intervertebral hernia. Accordingly, this is another, more serious degree of the disease, often requiring surgical intervention.
