Everyone who works at a computer has experienced painful sensations in the neck and spine. Most often, their cause is osteochondrosis. We will tell you what it is and how to get rid of an unpleasant disease.
One of the most vulnerable parts of the spine is the cervical region. This is due to its special structure, because the cervical vertebrae are very different from each other and are located very close to each other. Even a small load on the cervical spine can lead to their displacement, which means that the vessels and nerves in the immediate vicinity are compressed and pinched.
In most cases, osteochondrosis manifests itself after 35 years, and symptoms worsen with age. But recently, more and more cases of visits to a doctor with complaints of characteristic pains of people aged 18 to 30 have been registered. This is mainly due to a sedentary lifestyle (an especially common reason is “sedentary” work in the office), posture disorders, excess weight.
Indeed, for many years now, office work has increasingly focused solely on the computer. Modern technologies and means of communication have given us the opportunity not to get up from the table even for the whole working day. However, such a monotonous regime and lack of any physical activity for many hours made us an easy target for many diseases, including osteochondrosis.
For many people, even young and active people, the most familiar posture in the workplace is to sit on a chair in front of a computer, putting one hand on the keyboard and the other on the mouse, and staring at the monitor without looking up.
The main reasons for the early development of cervical osteochondrosis:
- heredity;
- excess weight;
- unbalanced nutrition (lack of vitamins, trace elements, body fluids);
- spinal injuries;
- poor posture, flat feet;
- unfavorable ecological situation;
- sedentary lifestyle;
- prolonged stay in an uncomfortable position (including while sleeping on an uncomfortable mattress, pillow);
- stress, overwork;
- hypothermia
If you feel pain and excessive tension in the neck and arms, intermittent numbness and tingling of the extremities, headache or tinnitus, be sure to see a doctor. The doctor will diagnose you and prescribe the most appropriate treatment.

The course of physiotherapy procedures is best done in a sanatorium: in this way, you isolate yourself for a short time from the usual daily routine, devoting all the time to treatment and healthy rest.
В for the treatment of osteochondrosis, electrophoresis, magnetotherapy, a large set of therapeutic baths and showers, massage and much more are used. A special role in this case is assigned to physiotherapy exercises.
