CAUSES OF NECK OSTEOCHONDROSIS AND MODERN METHODS OF ITS PREVENTION
Keywords:
Neck osteochondrosis, genetic predisposition, genetic factors, rapid growth spurts, abnormal bone formation, repetitive strain, poor posture, trauma, nutritional deficienciesAbstract
In this article, the opinions of our country's and foreign scientists are mentioned about the causes of neck asthechondrosis and modern methods of treatment. Neck osteochondrosis, also known as cervical osteochondrosis, refers to the degenerative changes in the intervertebral discs and adjacent structures of the cervical spine. It's a common cause of neck pain and can lead to various neurological symptoms due to compression of the nerve roots or spinal cord.
