Working with a computer, watching television or "browsing" a mobile phone, gradually cause the degeneration of the dynamic points of the spine in the neck. The number of patients who come to my office and complain of numbness or stiffness as well as neck pain is constantly increasing, says Prof. Dr. Jovica Ugrinovski, neurosurgeon. But not only that! The number of young people who complain about these problems is increasing more and more. Why do the pains appear? You should know that the vertebral segment is the most dynamic segment of the spine.
Here, movements are performed in all directions: Tunisia Email List bending, pulling, rotation, forward-backward movement, lateral movement and usually a combination of all these movements. Under normal conditions, the neck is "designed" to perform all these functions without any problem. But improper movement of the neck, holding the neck in an improper position for a long time, such as when you are working on a computer, watching television or "surfing" on your mobile phone, in combination with other factors such as is age, congenital anomalies, etc., cause gradual degeneration of the dynamic points of the spine in the neck area.
First of all, the neck discs - the soft elastic "shock absorbers", which are located between the bodies of the vertebrae - suffer more problems. Morphologically, these changes can be in the form of a discopathy - loss of elasticity and shape of the discs up to the displacement of the disc contents towards the nerve elements which are known as disc herniation or disc prolapse. In the further course of the disease, the small nodes that connect the vertebrae to each other suffer, and finally changes appear in the vertebral bodies themselves in the form of osteophytes or "spikes" that narrow the spinal canal or the openings through which they exit nerve roots.
