Symptoms of muscular-tonic syndrome

As the main symptoms of the muscular-tonic syndrome is a decrease in tone, in which the muscles become soft, saggy, their contractile activity is disturbed. In the early stages, there is simply a violation of the function of the muscles, in which it is difficult for a person to perform certain movements, since the affected area is not obeyed, the muscle is not able to contract and perform movements. In the later stages of the muscular-tonic syndrome, a complete atony of the muscles occurs, in which movement is impossible to perform, as a result of which the ability to move is impaired, disability and limited movement develop.

Cervicalgia

It is a violation of the normal state of the cervical spine (cervical spine). So, this pathology can be accompanied by a decrease in muscle tone, a violation of the normal, natural position of the vertebrae. Often accompanying factors is pain syndrome, which quickly progresses and radiates to different parts of the spine, back. Particularly intense pain is expressed in the paravertebral muscles, and it can also give in the lower back, buttocks, sciatic muscles, pelvic region.

The nature of pain can be very different from any other pain. Quite often there is a shooting pain, which is especially pronounced when turning the neck, slopes to the side. For many, this is aching, dull pain in the neck. But sometimes they notice sharp and piercing pain, which differs from the neck region along the entire length of the nearby nerve, and gives in the sternum, clavicles, and sometimes in the intercostal muscles, along the spine.

Torakalgia

It is a pathology of the thoracic spine, in which there is a decrease in the muscle tone of this department (leading symptom). In this case, as other concomitant symptoms, soreness, decreased sensitivity, and limited movement are considered.

In the development of this pathology, an important role is played not only by the immediate causes that cause a decrease in tone, but also predisposing factors, such as sedentary lifestyle, irrational nutrition, alcohol abuse, smoking, emotional stress.

The rapid rhythm of modern life, numerous neuropsychic loads, have an adverse effect on human health. The resulting overstresses - stresses, entail a variety of physiological disorders, which are most pronounced at the level of the vertebral spine (psychosomatic). It is these violations in the future and become the root cause of all further diseases, further reducing the tone, disability.

Dorsopathy

It is a violation of the muscle tone and sensitivity of the posterior and lateral surface of the body. The most intensive pathology is expressed with unilateral paralysis, asymmetries, disturbances of vital tone. It can be accompanied by pain, a decrease in the overall sensitivity of the muscles, joint contractures, muscle stiffness and the bone system.

Sciatica

It is a lesion of the lumbar spine, in which the sciatic nerve is involved in the inflammatory process. It will also be possible to pinch the sciatic nerve with inflamed and swollen tissues. There can be many reasons. But one can not ignore the fact of a significant reduction in the motor activity of modern man. Mechanized production, close transport interchange. The presence of an increasing variety of vehicles - all these are the advantages of a modern way of life, which nonetheless. Are not deprived of their shortcomings.

They save human labor, nevertheless, turn into numerous undesirable consequences for the organism, entail detunement of the body, and as a result - the development of inflammatory processes, the reduction of muscle tone. Proceeding from the reasons, it is easy to conclude that the main means of treating pathology is an increase in motor activity. In this case, the most effective means of active passive gymnastics, hatha yoga, qigong, therapeutic physical culture.

Lumbalia with muscular-tonic syndrome

It is a lesion of the lumbar spine, which is accompanied by an inflammatory process and a decrease in muscle tone. The main reason for the development of this condition is insufficient motor activity. So, scientists have estimated that a modern office worker per day for static and dynamic traffic spends approximately 1.4 and 2.3 hours of his time. All the rest of the time you have to sit and sleep.

The conditions of modern life are characterized by a sharp decrease in the share of manual labor, and with a similarly sharp nervous tension. All this leads to the development of lumbargia, pain, atony.

Cervical osteochondrosis with muscular-tonic syndrome

The essence is a violation of mobility and functional condition of the cervical spine. There is an intensive deposition of a layer in the cervical spine. All this contributes to the violation of blood circulation, nutrition of tissues, as a result of which the muscles do not receive the necessary amount of nutrients, oxygen. At the same time, a large number of by-products of metabolism, carbon dioxide are retained in the muscles. Also, the cause of this condition can be neuropsychic overstrain, a decrease in vascular and muscle tone. At present, there are more professions that require intense attention, increased responsibility. At the same time the nervous tension is growing and increasing.

Neuropsychiatric loads lead to a violation of hormonal regulation, shift the hormonal balance. As a result, blood pressure rises, vasospasms develop, premature wear of the anti-coagulant system of blood occurs.

Cervicobrachialgia with muscular-tonic syndrome

It represents a decrease in the tone of the cervical spine (cervical spine). In this process, the muscles of the bronchi are involved. There is a narrowing of the bronchial lumen, which leads to shortness of breath, lack of oxygen, attacks of suffocation, spasms.

It is often observed in adolescents. This is due to the fact that modern adolescents have a low degree of activity (hypokinesia). This is especially intense in high school students. Hypokinesia especially negatively affects the condition of the muscular system, entails a decrease in vitality. This leads not only to atony, but also to the delay in the development of the basic functional systems of the organism, a persistent violation of metabolic processes, a decrease in efficiency. However, do not rush to extremes - excessive physical stress also negatively affects the state of health. Hyperkinesia is also a serious problem that adversely affects the health status.

Cervicocranium and thoracolumbalgia with muscular-tonic syndrome

It is a violation of muscle tone in the cervical and occipital region. There can be many reasons. The main of them - the wrong position of the head and neck during sleep, inadequate motor activity, and overeating.

Overeating is characteristic of a modern person, and is, in fact, anarchism, a relic of past centuries. It is considered as a bad habit that negatively affects the state of health. Overeating leads to excess body weight, hypodynamia, hypodynamia, and as a consequence, high morbidity. The main means of therapy is the regulation of diet, massage of the neck and collar zone, as well as a sufficient level of motor activity.

Thoracolumbia is a disease of the thoracic and lumbar spine, which is accompanied by a decrease in muscle tone and pain.

[9], [10], [11]

Muscular-tonic syndrome right, left

It is characterized by a decrease in muscle tone on both sides of the spinal column. Treatment is mainly symptomatic, aimed at increasing muscle tone, relieving pain when it is present, eliminating spasms. To do this, apply massage, manual therapy sessions, ointments and creams of warming action, some medicines, exercise therapy, isotonic, health gymnastics, actively passive techniques.

Muscular-tonic syndrome in a child

Reduction of muscle tone in children can be due to both congenital factors and external factors. So, congenital factors are most often incurable, and are genetically conditioned. It is noted that often such conditions progress, and end with paralysis and disability. Decreased muscle tone occurs as a result of insufficient fitness of the body, neuropsychic stress, lack of vitamins, minerals, metabolic disorders.

Stages

Conditionally, we can distinguish three stages of development of the muscular-tonic syndrome.

The first stage is characterized by a moderate decrease in muscle tone. As a rule, the tone decreases on both sides of the spine. Also atony can affect the muscles of the extremities. At the same time, there is a feeling of pressure, discomfort in the area where muscle tone is significantly reduced. Mild pain may occur with prolonged stays in one position, with prolonged sleep, with attempts to stand up, with sudden and careless movements.

The second stage implies a fairly pronounced decrease in tone, in which movement is difficult, the pain is intensified, acquires a fairly stable character. The situation is facilitated with moderate physical exertion and increases with sudden movements, attempts to get up.

In the third stage, the pain quickly irradiates, affects the nerve. There is also an inflammatory process, edema. This is the third, chronic stage in which the inflammatory process can constantly progress. There are a number of conditions under which the situation becomes more complicated and progresses. In the absence of adequate treatment, the condition can progress up to disability. As for the positive outcome, it is also possible. But in this case, a long treatment is required, which must necessarily be complex. It should include medical treatment, physiotherapy, homeopathic remedies and compulsory physical activity.

Moderate muscular-tonic syndrome

The main indicator of moderation is the average degree of severity of muscle tone decrease, as well as controlled pain, which can easily be stopped with various medications. In this case, the muscles have a languid appearance, are soft and saggy, as a result of which their contractile activity decreases. This state is reversible. You can improve your condition with the help of proper physical activity. It is the regular exercise of physical exercises is a pledge of control over muscle tone, and an indicator of the health of the nervous and musculoskeletal systems.

[12], [13], [14]

Pronounced muscular-tonic syndrome

A fairly pronounced condition characterized by the development of a strongly pronounced inflammatory process, a decrease in muscle tone and a contraction in muscle contractility, a violation of nerve conduction. Pain, as a rule, is sharp, acute, more pronounced in the daytime, and also, after a person is long in one position. A characteristic feature is that the pain of practical can not be stopped. At least, it is not practically eliminated by physical exercises, but requires special treatment, for example, injections, the use of local remedies. Most often used ointments, gels, creams and other medicines.

Chronic muscular-tonic syndrome

A characteristic feature of a chronic condition is a temporary improvement or deterioration in the condition that occurs under the influence of various factors. First, acute inflammation should develop. Gradually, the acute process subsides. But if it is not cured to the end, it will go to a more severe stage, which can go on for years, but then there will be an aggravation of this condition. As a rule, exacerbation occurs under the influence of various factors that trigger the development of the disease. For example, it can be severe hypothermia, excessive nervous and mental overexertion, severe physical stress, and even improper diet, excess weight. It should be noted that the number of people who have a chronic decrease in muscle tone as a result of excess weight, increases dramatically. In this case, the main treatment is sports, physical training. Only 10% of cases of obesity is associated with a violation of metabolic processes and hormonal background (in this case, proper nutrition, consultation of the endocrinologist) is required. In the remaining 90% of cases, the cause is insufficient motor activity, overeating.

Forms

There are several varieties of muscular-tonic syndrome. Their distribution by species depends on which of the spine sections, or parts of the body, undergoes a decrease in tone. So, the musculo-tonic syndrome of the cervico-occipital division, the cervical spine, thoracic and lumbar divisions is distinguished. Separately, the lesion of the lumbar spine is distinguished in a complex with sciatica (sciatic nerve damage), in which the pain extends to the buttocks, pelvic region, hips, sometimes even the shin.

Also, a reflex syndrome is distinguished, which covers other parts of the body, depending on the affected segment (segment) of the body. Separately it is necessary to note a spondylogenic syndrome, in which the intervertebral region (intervertebral discs) is subjected to pathology. Separately, it is necessary to distinguish pain syndrome, which is accompanied by severe pain, sometimes spasms. In addition, the syndrome can be primary, or secondary, depending on the source and source of the lesion.

Muscular-tonic spine syndrome, or spondylogenous

Often the cause is malnutrition. In particular, high-calorie cholesterol-rich food, food. Saturated fatty acids, easily assimilated carbohydrates contribute to the aggravation of pathology. Infiltration develops (walls, fibers are impregnated with fatty components). This leads to the development of atherosclerosis, a decrease in tone. This contributes to the development of obesity, as a result of which illnesses are much more difficult, more difficult to treat.

There is evidence that obesity is one of the factors that complicates the course of the disease so much that it practically does not respond to treatment. This leads to the fact that atony is constantly progressing, later paralysis develops. Ends with all disabilities.

It is a decrease in muscle tone, as well as the development of the inflammatory process, damage to the intervertebral discs. In addition to reducing the tone, there is a pinched nerve between two adjacent vertebrae. Accordingly, there is pain, which is acute. If there is no treatment, it can go on into a chronic form. Partly to alleviate the condition can be through physical rehabilitation (massage, physical therapy). It also requires mandatory medication, physiotherapy.

[19], [20], [21],

Muscular-tonic syndrome of the thoracic department

To eliminate this pathological condition, the main condition is to maintain the necessary level of physical activity. Performing physical exercises, you must adhere to strictly defined rules. Classes should start with the simplest, and finish with more complex ones. Complicating the exercises should be gradual. Also, one should strive to ensure that the load is placed on all muscle groups - arms, legs, trunk.

Reflex muscular-tonic syndrome

It is important to monitor breathing - it must be rhythmic, deep, must be combined with the pace of movements. After doing the exercises, you should pause for 30-40 seconds, so that the muscles rest a little.

Secondary muscular-tonic syndrome

To increase muscle tone requires a constant physical load. The easiest way to maintain the optimal level of physical activity is walking. It is a proven help to charge. It is proved that to maintain a normal vitality, every person should go for a day at least 10 kilometers on foot.

Everybody knows about its benefits today. In recent years, this type of physical culture has a lot of fans. A few years ago, the figure of a man in a sports suit running along the streets of the city, caused many passers-by a smile. Now we are used to such a picture. According to statistics, every third person, engaged independently in physical culture, is fond of running. Approximately the same number of people of different ages prefer to run, so to speak, in an organized way - in sections, health groups, clubs.

Muscular-tonic pain syndrome

The pain is well removed by swimming and water procedures, hydromassage. The most effective bathing in cool water at a temperature of not less than 20 degrees, and not above 24 degrees. It is this kind of water that has the greatest impact on the body. It's not just the stimulation of the endocrine system, the toning of the nerve centers and the increase in the thermo-adaptive capabilities of the body, but also in the active hydrodynamic massage of the body and blood vessels, which we expose ourselves to when swimming. Pain is removed during the release of anti-inflammatory factors, endorphins.
