Osteochondrosis of the thoracic spine

The thoracic vertebral column is inactive, surprisingly stable due to the rigid fixation of the ribs, therefore it is less susceptible to osteochondosis.Its clinical manifestations, the syndromes rarely hatchet patients.

However, there are those who manage to "earn" this disease for years of long sessions on the desktop and even in an uncomfortable and non -violent pose or a steering wheel in a trembling car.

The osteochondrosis of the thoracic spine is often on those suffering from scoliosis, does not follow its posture, its fold, the hump.

At the same time, the breast vertebrae are unnaturally folded, together with muscles, ligaments, nerve fibers, experience a large tension and an additional and very significant load of year by year.

Fatigue, wear of the vertebral segment and gives a momentum to the development of the disease.

Small tricks:Building the correctness of the posture by gluing a narrow tape of stickers along the spine.

As soon as you are leaning and the spine is twisted, the adhesive plaster will extend, remembering the need to change the pose and take the correct posture.You will be amazed from how many times a day your body accepts the dangerous pose for the health of the spine.

Thoracic osteochondrosis: symptoms

• Vascular disorders, whose cause is osteochondrosis, can be suspected if, for no apparent reason, the skin is peeling, the nails become very fragile, the legs are often chopped.These are external manifestations of the disease.
• The improved curve, the limitation of mobility, as well as burning or cutting the pain, which pours between the shoulder bladder up to the shoulder belt and the rear part of the head with a slight pressure on one of the spicy processes (they are significantly administered on the rear during the inclination), suggests that the disease progresses.
• With osteochondrosis of the thoracic spine, as well as with cervical osteochondrosis, the irritation of the nerve roots, blocked in the narrow intervertebral channel for them, can cause chest pain.Often it seems unexpectedly, for example, when a person gets up from the table after a working day.It does not allow you to breathe, in force and surprise remember a stab in the back with a knife.Its character sometimes makes a serious disease of the cardiovascular system, up to coronary diseases and myocardial infarction.But the cardiologist is powerless here.The cause of your suffering is thoracic osteochondosis.
• Gastralgic syndrome is often masked by diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.The acidity of the gastric juice can be significantly reduced.The main complaint of patients who often turn to the gastroenterologist is the pain in the epigastric region, which, as a rule, intensifies itself in the afternoon after physical work and attenuates (or passes completely) after a whole night.Its appearance and strengthening are practically not related to seasonality (as you know, in real patients with gastritis, peptic ulcer, rare autumn and spring pass without serious exacerbations), food quality and diet.These characteristics of the syndrome manifestation help to establish a real diagnosis.After the treatment of the underlying disease - osteochondosis of the thoracic spine, the acidity of the gastric juice is restored without the use of drugs.
• If the intervertebral discs at the level of the 7-11 ° vertebrae suffer from osteochondrosis, the pain is strong, paroxysmal, therefore boring, painful - spreads to the right hypochondrium, as if the ribs hurt.During an attack, patients often enter a hospital with a wide variety of diagnosis: acute cholecystitis, renal revenge, pancreatitis, colitis, urolitiasis.

Often you must conduct the more detailed medical examination to exclude the diseases of the abdominal organs, make the correct diagnosis.
