80-90% of the population faces this disease.
Depending on the location of pathological attention, 3 forms of the disease are different:
- Osteocondrosis of cervical region
- Osteocondrosis of the Torakal region
- Osteocondrosis of the Lumbar region
With cervical spinal damage, the patient's complaints are associated with the nutrition of the brain by tightening blood vessels. The most common complaint is a severe headache and dizziness. In addition, patients are concerned:
- Blood pressure
- Disorders of the movement coordination and shake the gait
- Decrease in visual acuity;

Nerves, numbness and chilling of your fingers, the weakness of limbs occur.
If nerves are broken, severe pain in the neck, scalp, sore throat, teeth. Pain stretches to shoulders and limbs.
The symptom of osteocondrosis of the Torakic region is also pain - intercostal nebrigia. Pain is due to compression of nervous roots. The pain in the chest is sharp, coughing, inspiration, laughter, while moving.
Pain for osteocondrosis of the Torakic region can simulate other diseases, such as heartache, abdominal pain.
Lomber Osteochondrosis affects people with the most seated job. This is characterized by lower back pain given to the waist and leg. It is possible to disrupt the nerves, numbness and cooling of feet, loss of sensitivity, feces and urines.
The disease is considered Popolietiology, that is, many factors contribute to the disease. The most common:

Collection of illness and life Anamnezz
The doctor asks to find sick questions:
- Complaint

X -Ray exam
The radiography of the spine is carried out for more information in two oblique predictions, direct and laterally. Sometimes functional examples - ray research is required with bending, flexion, extension position.
Calculated Tomography
CT is a job that allows you to think clearer the bodies of spines, ligaments, blood vessels and soft tissues. A picture of one or more spinal segments is made. CT allows you to determine the irritations of intervertebral disks, the tears and tears in the height, solid brain membrane, the insurgency of the spines.
Magnetic Resonance Therapy
MRI is used to diagnose osteocondrosis with clear images of blood vessels, nervous processes, intervertebral disks.
Osteochondrosis is not just the back, as it usually believes. Affect blood vessels, nerves and muscles. Osteochondrosis provokes the development of a number of related diseases, among them:
- Migraine
- Vision and hearing deterioration
- Intervebrane Hernia

- Sliding
- Spondilasis, spondilarthrosis and others.
Osteocondrosis conservatively, treat in difficult cases - immediately.
Conservative treatment includes a complex of all therapeutic procedures: massage, physiotherapy exercises, physiotherapy, hand therapy, reflexology, spinal traction and drug treatment.
Drug drugs are determined during complications, help normalize pain, inflammation and metabolic processes.
Osteocondrosis risk group includes:
