The upper limbs are periodically stiff, and the mobility of the tongue is impaired?Are you worried about headaches and weakness?Does the pressure increase sharply or falls, the rhythm of the heart is lost or accelerated?Symptoms indicate tight nerves and problems with the spine.The most likely cause is cervical osteochondrosis, which is accompanied by muscle cramps and dizziness.The disease, contrary to myths, occurs in young people and requires proper treatment.
Factors and precautions
Provoking cervical osteochondrosis is capable of:
- bad metabolism;
- sitting or sitting lifestyle;
- Disruption of microcirculation, which is hereditary disease;
- Injury to the neck or shoulder department.
Patients suspected of signs of osteochondrosis recommend first consulting a doctor and going through CT or MRI.In addition, take blood tests to understand exactly what provokes the development of the disease.
The treatment is selected individually, depending on the cause.The doctor gives the direction of massage or prescribes tablets, ointments or anti -inflammatory gels.Sometimes cramps and pain disappear if you buy an orthopedic pillow or change your job.
No one is safe from cervical osteochondrosis, but at risk they are found:
- office workers;
- sellers;
- medical staff;
- teachers and teachers;
- administrators;
- hairdressers;
- Developers.
Representatives of these professions stand a lot or sit on the computer, but the cervical and shoulder departments remain inactive.The muscles are weakened, cartilage loses elasticity, and intervertebral discs receive minimal nutrients.The risk of fastening nerve endings and osteochondrosis increases.
Do you really need to look for a new job?No, if the patient:
- Replace the usual mattress and down the pillow with orthopedic varieties;
- You choose a comfortable high -back computer chair;
- will be regularly included at home or in the gym, fragmenting muscles and joints;
- refuse nicotine and alcohol;
- Review the usual diet and make some amendments.
Women are advised to leave high heels and love ballet shoes or sneakers.
Osteochondrosis will not disappear immediately after purchasing 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 protein
Recovery is promoted with proper nutrition.Patients with overweight are recommended to gradually lose weight to reduce joint burden and intervertebral discs.But starvation is forbidden, as well as sitting of mono -diets.
A person with osteochondrosis should receive a sufficient amount of calcium and magnesium daily, as well as phosphorus and potassium.Returning nerve endings is facilitated by B vitamins that remove inflammation, and ascorbic acid necessary for collagen production.You cannot do without protein contained in meat and eggs.
The condition of the cervical vertebrae deteriorates due to salt, fried foods and animal fats.We must forget about the existence of the pan and love steam dishes, replace the butter with vegetable oil and buy chicken breast instead of sausage.
Marinades and white bread, canned foods, sweet drinks and semolina lead to exacerbation of osteochondrosis.Inflammation and pain in the cervical region will be removed:
- Parsley, which dilutes the blood;
- Sea fish and salads with linseed oil;
- nuts and liver fever;
- legumes, which have many vitamins in group B and protein;
- chicken or beef meat;
- honey;
- steamed vegetables and fresh or roasted fruits;
- Gelatin -containing dissection;
- Boiled beef veins that perform the function of chondroprotectors.
Metabolic processes normalize cereals and dairy products, herbal shells and ordinary water.The dehydrated organism is slower, and the soft and bone tissues with a lack of fluids become fragile.
Coffee and black tea are contraindicated in osteochondrosis, which have a diuretic effect and contribute to the discharge of calcium and other beneficial minerals from the body.
