Sternum chondrochondrosis- This is a malnutrition change on the disc that is located in the thoracic spine.Treatment of the disease needs to be started immediately after diagnosis, as the disease can quickly become a chronic form.
The main symptoms of the disease are the mobility of the shoulder straps, shortness of breath, stomach upset and limitations of chest pain.The danger to the patient is that the symptoms of osteochondria are often confused with cardiovascular disease, and therefore, the treatment is performed through the wrong disease.
Causes of osteochondrosis
Sternum osteochondrosis occurs due to pathological changes in the vertebrae and intervertebral discs as well as impaired blood supply and nutrition.Additionally, the disease may be caused by deformation of the spine.
Especially usually, people in a sitting position suffer from symptoms of breast osteochondrosis.Basically, these are office staff and students of different ages.Due to the constant sitting position without the correct position of the body being observed, the load on the vertebrae increases significantly, which causes it to deform.
The root cause of the disease:
- Increased spinal load during weight lifting
- Age-related body changes
- overweight
- Spine injury
- Prone to genetic level
According to the stage of symptoms, it is divided into two clinical cases.In the first case, the pain suddenly appears and has an acute shape (SO is called "lateral").In the second case, the pain is long, usually accompanied by stiffness of the cervical spine and chest spine.Pain in breast osteochondral bone marrow restricts back mobility and causes dyspnea.
The treatment of osteochondrosis in the thoracic area is performed using complex methods and protocols, and its compilation depends on the stage of the disease, its course and cause.Only highly qualified experts can handle this task.
Disease stage
Phase 1It is characterized by local pain (chest pain) caused by weakening of muscles.Furthermore, in the first stage, the vertebrae muscles in the back are tensioned, which leads to increased pain and limits the spine's mobility.
Phase 2Because nerve roots are involved in the inflammatory process, they are accompanied by an increase in pain syndrome.Also at this stage, a herniation and/or hernia of the intervertebral disc (MPD) occurs.
Stage 3It causes constant pain that occurs in the affected nerve area.The gait changed, limb numbness, headaches, dyspnea and arrhythmia.This is due to the manifestation of significant deformation of the intervertebral disc and spine.The risk of isolation increases dramatically (isolation is the separation of hernia and its movement along the spine, which damages the nerve roots associated with the spinal cord).This leads to surgery in 90% of cases.
existStage 4Disease destroys the function of the intervertebral disc.The skeleton growth of the vertebra begins to connect between nearby vertebrae.Osteochondrosis in the spine usually causes blood supply to the spinal cord.This stage of the disease is the most dangerous, as no timely treatment can lead to disability.
treat
Before treatment, a diagnosis is made to detect the stages of the disease (initial, acute or chronic).Choose treatment based on existing symptoms.
Treatment of osteochondrosis in the thoracic area is most effective when pathological changes are not so explicit and reversible.
The main sign that the disease has entered an acute phase is the constant feeling of pain.The muscles of the back, chest and spine.At this stage of osteochondrosis development, a doctor’s priority is to relieve pain.
