The thoracic column is inactive, surprisingly stable due to the rigid fixation of the ribs, therefore, it is less susceptible to osteochondrosis.Its clinical manifestations, syndromes rarely bother patients.
However, there are those who manage to "win" this disease for years of time on the desk and even in an awkward, non -violent pose or a steering wheel in a trembling car.
The osteochondrosis of the thoracic column falls more frequently from the one suffered by scoliosis, does not follow its posture, slope, hump.
At the same time, the vertebrae of the breast are folded unnaturally, along with muscles, ligaments, nerve fibers, experience great tension and an additional and very significant load from year to year.
Fatigue, wear of the vertebral segment and gives a boost to the development of the disease.
Small tricks:Build posture correction by hitting a narrow adhesive tape along the spine.
As soon as he leans and his spine twists, the adhesive plaster will extend, reminding him of the need to change the posture and take the correct posture.You will be surprised 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, without apparent reason, the skin is peeling, the nails become very fragile, the legs often laugh.These are external manifestations of the disease.
- The improvement improved, the limitation of mobility, as well as the burned or shear pain, spilling between the shoulder blades and the back of the head with a slight pressure on one of the spicy processes (they give them significantly on the back during the inclination), they will suggest that the disease progresses.
- With osteochondrosis of the thoracic column, as well as with cervical osteochondrosis, the irritation of nerve roots, subject to the narrow intervertebral channel for them, can cause pain in the chest.It often appears unexpectedly, for example, when a person gets up from the table after a working day.It does not allow you to breathe, with strength and surprise, resembles a stab on the back with a knife.Its character sometimes makes a serious illness of the cardiovascular system, to coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction.But the cardiologist is helpless here.The cause of its suffering is thoracic osteochondrosis.
- Gastralgic syndrome is often disguised as gastrointestinal tract diseases.The acidity of gastric juice can be reduced significantly.The main complaint of patients who often address gastroenterologist is pain in the epigastric region, which, as a rule, intensifies in the afternoon after physical work and sinking (or passes completely) after a complete nighttime rest.Its appearance and strengthening are practically not related to seasonality (as they know, in true patients with gastritis, peptic ulcer, rare autumn and spring pass without serious exacerbations), food quality and diet.These characteristics of the manifestation of the syndrome help establish a real diagnosis.After the treatment of the underlying disease: the osteochondrosis of the thoracic column, the acidity of the gastric juice is restored without the use of drugs.
- If the intervertebral discs at the level of vertebrae 7-11 suffer from osteochondrosis, the pain is strong, paroxysmal, then opaque, hurt, it spreads to the right hypochondrium, as if the ribs duel.During an attack, patients often enter a hospital with a wide variety of diagnoses: cholecystitis of acute calculous, renal revenge, pancreatitis, colitis, urolitiasis.
You must often perform the most detailed medical examination to exclude diseases from abdominal organs, make the correct diagnosis.
Methods to treat thoracic osteocodrosis

- In the subordinate phase, the treatment aims to stretch the muscles of the thoracic column.The most effective kineshe therapy method is.
- In the remission stage, the treatment aims to improve the mobility of intervertebral discs, restore the natural curves of the column and strengthen the muscles of the back.
