There can be many reasons for headaches, we will consider one of the most common.
- How is hypertonia connected with osteochondrosis and headache?
- Hypertonicity is a persistent increase in muscle tone. One of the main reasons for its appearance is a sedentary lifestyle and a long stay in the same position, which is especially often observed among office workers. Hypertonia can also manifest itself as a result of emotional stress. With hypertonicity, the muscles become harder and denser to the touch, swell, and a feeling of tightness also appears.
Hypertensive muscles respond well to massage - you can often see how people, after sitting up, begin to intuitively rub and stretch their neck and upper back. The tension in the muscles leads to a deterioration in blood circulation, which in turn leads to osteochondrosis, since in case of insufficient blood circulation, the intervertebral discs do not receive nutrients.
The intervertebral discs are the cartilage between the vertebrae, and they can be repaired just like any other organ, but they must be nourished to rebuild.
With osteochondrosis, the discs, due to lack of nutrition, begin to lose fluid and sag, become thinner, which leads to convergence of the vertebrae and sagging of the vertebral muscles and ligaments. Sagging ligaments can no longer tightly fasten the vertebrae, excessive mobility appears in the intervertebral joints and the entire structure of the spine loses stability. If you do not pay attention to the problem for a long time, the body will try to solve it in its own way: it will try to stabilize the intervertebral joints with the help of bone growths - oseophytes. Osteophytes are a serious problem, since their presence, with a high probability, guarantees additional compression of blood vessels and nerve roots. The presence of osteophytes is accompanied by symptoms such as tinnitus, headaches, numbness in the fingers, and deterioration in neck mobility. In most cases, the appearance of osteophia at the initial stage is asymptomatic and their identification is possible using ultrasound, X-ray or MRI.
The neck is especially vulnerable to osteochondrosis, as it has relatively weak muscles. Displacement of the disc even by a millimeter can lead to squeezing of blood vessels and impaired blood circulation in the brain. All this leads to displacement of the vertebrae, compression of blood vessels and nerve roots.
- How to avoid such problems?
- Since the discs do not have their own blood vessels, they receive nutrition from the surrounding tissues, in particular from the muscles. Anyone who has played at least a little bit of sports has seen muscles turn red during exercise, this redness is the blood flow. It is at such moments when the back muscles and discs work and receive a significant portion of their nutrition.
It should be remembered that if you work in an office, then you should not sit for a long time at the computer or papers. Try to organize your work so that at least once an hour you can get up and walk a little, perform a few bends and turns. These measures will help relax your muscles, restore blood circulation, and restore your ability to work. If your work is connected with physical activity, then it is always worth remembering the correct technique for lifting weights - this will help you avoid many problems associated with the musculoskeletal system. It is also recommended to regularly attend massage and manual correction sessions so that your vertebrae are always in place.
