The symptoms and treatment of intercostal chondrosis in children and adults
Chondrosis – a metabolic disorder in the body, which mainly affects the spinal discs. Pathology is degenerative in nature; children can cause serious consequences. Chondrosis is closely linked to the nervous system, which we'll talk about later.
In the medical literature is often used another name for this disease – osteochondrosis.
Causes
Causes of chondrosis there are many, and it is important to correctly define it. The main reasons are:
- congenital abnormalities of the spine or skeleton;
- prematurity of the child;
- rickets
- genetic predisposition
- old age
- progressive osteoporosis;
- endocrine pathology
- an unbalanced diet
- gemodinamicheski lifestyle;
- heavy physical work and harmful working conditions;
- injuries and operations;
- hernia of the spine.
Developing chondrosis may lead to specific pain syndrome – intercostal the chondrosis.
It may sound strange, but intercostal chondrosis is not a separate nosological form, that is, the disease. It is just a manifestation of pinching of spinal roots in the form of pain.
Intercostal nerves pass through the lower part of the overlying rib in each intercostal space, namely in the groove of the rib. But they are not alone, and in the neuro-vascular bundles. Broken ribs, possible rupture of neurovascular bundle, which also leads to serious consequences.
the Mechanism of the disease
Pathogenetic mechanism starts with primary or secondary lesions of one or several intercostal disks. As a result of degenerative changes of cartilage between the disc loses its positive characteristics. That is why the person begins displacement of the vertebrae.
