The upper limbs periodically tingle and the mobility of the tongue is disturbed?Are you worried about headaches and weakness?The pressure rises sharply or drops, the heart rate is lost or faster?Symptoms show pressed nerves and spinal problems.The most common cause is cervical osteochondrosis, which is accompanied by muscle spasms and dizziness.The disease, contrary to myths, occurs in young people and requires proper treatment.
Factors and precautions
Provoke cervical osteochondrosis is capable of:
- poor metabolism;
- A sedentary or sedentary lifestyle;
- Microcirculation disorder, which is a hereditary disease;
- injuries to the neck or shoulder department.
Patients who suspect signs of osteochondrosis recommend that you first consult a doctor and go through a CT or MRI.In addition, take blood tests to find out exactly what provokes the development of the disease.
Treatment is chosen individually, depending on the cause.The doctor gives a direction for massage or prescribes tablets, ointments or anti -inflammatory gels.Sometimes cramps and pain disappear if you buy an orthopedic pillow or change the work.
No one is safe from cervical osteochondrosis, but at risk they turn out to be:
- office workers;
- sellers;
- medical staff;
- teachers and teachers;
- administrators;
- hairdressers;
- Programmers.
Representatives of these professions stand a lot or sit on the computer, but the cervical and shoulders departments remain inactive.The muscles weaken, the cartilage loses elasticity, and the intervertebral discs receive a minimum of nutrients.The risk of pinching nerve endings and osteochondrosis increases.
Do you really have to look for a new job?No if the patient:
- Replace the usual mattress and pillow down with orthopedic varieties;
- will choose a comfortable computer chair with a high back;
- will regularly participate at home or in the gym, fragmenting muscles and joints;
- refuse nicotine and alcohol;
- Browse the usual diet and make some changes to it.
Women are recommended to abandon high heels and love ballet shoes or sports shoes.
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 proteins
Recovery is encouraged by proper nutrition.Patients with excess body weight are recommended to gradually lose weight to reduce the load on the joints and intervertebral discs.But starvation is forbidden, as well as sits on mono -diet.
A person with osteochondrosis should receive enough calcium and magnesium daily, as well as phosphorus and potassium.The restoration of nerve endings is facilitated by B vitamins, which eliminate the inflammation, and the ascorbic acid required for the production of collagen.You cannot do without a protein contained in meat and eggs.
The condition of the cervical vertebrae deteriorates due to salt, fried foods and animal fats.We will have to forget about the existence of the pan and love steam dishes, replace the oil with vegetable oil and buy chicken breasts instead of sausage.
Marinades and white bread, canned food, sweet drinks and enthrosols lead to exacerbation of osteochondrosis.Inflammation and pain in the cervical region will be eliminated:
- Parsley that dilutes the blood;
- Sea fish and flaxseed salads;
- nuts and cod liver;
- legumes that have many B and protein vitamins;
- chicken or beef;
- copper;
- Steam vegetables and fresh or baked fruits;
- Disheld containing gelatin;
- Boiled beef veins that perform the function of chondroprotectors.
Metabolic processes normalize cereals and dairy products, herbal decoction and ordinary water.The dehydrated organism recovers more slowly, and the soft and bone tissues with a lack of liquids become fragile.
Coffee and black tea are contraindicated in osteochondrosis, which have a diuretic effect and contribute to the extraction of calcium and other beneficial minerals from the body.
