Very often in modern society, the cause of many diseases is a sedentary and sedentary lifestyle. Among the characteristic pathologies caused by this factor, the following most common can be distinguished: hypertension, osteochondrosis, scoliosis and widow's hump. Treatment of such diseases should be timely in order to stop their progression in time. Let us examine in more detail the clinical picture of the widow's hump.
First of all, we clarify that this disease is caused by visual deformation of the cervical spine due to deposition of adipose tissue. Most often, women after 45 years suffer from this, and it is precisely at this age that many were already considered widows in the old days, which is why the name is “Widow Hump”.
Let's try to find out in detail the etiology of this pathological process. So, a characteristic cause of the formation of a hump on the neck is a slow violation of the structure of the vertebral joints of the cervical spine. Experts are clearly convinced that it is the manifestation of muscle spasm that provokes arthrosis, vertebral-rib damage and shortening of connective tissue. The cause of these spasms is static overload, which provokes in-depth lesions of conductive and vital organic tissues. It is important to clarify that a characteristic inflammatory process in the body does not reveal itself for a very long time, so it is very difficult to feel pronounced symptoms, especially in the early stages of the disease.
In addition, the low mobility of the lower cervical region is a pathogenic factor. It is in this department that the seal, called the “Widow Hump”, is located, the treatment of which has its own specific features. As a result of such vital passivity of the tendon, they begin to swell, hemorrhages appear, which are gradually replaced by fibrous tissue, which, growing together, forms a fibrous mass. This is the beginning of the pathology. However, the process of tissue damage does not end there, but, on the contrary, gradually progresses, therefore it is necessary to detect the widow's hump in time, the treatment of which should not be delayed.
It is also necessary to tactfully note that obesity also contributes to the formation of a characteristic hump, and malnutrition only exacerbates this problem. This issue becomes especially acute during the approach of menopause, when the production of estrogen in the female body is significantly impaired.
Productive treatment of pathology has an integrated approach. Do not delay with a trip to a specialist. Superficial self-medication does not give tangible results, and also contributes to the further development of the disease. So, how to get rid of the widow's hump and prevent the progression of pathology?
Among the various methods of treatment, special attention should be paid to manual therapy and a massage complex. So, through massage, muscle cramps are eliminated as much as possible and blood circulation is significantly increased, and the mobilization of the damaged segment of the spine can resume its mobility.
However, when deciding how to remove the widow's hump, one should also focus on the rehabilitation period and preventive measures. It must be remembered that malnutrition, moderate mobility, a sedentary lifestyle and being overweight only provoke the development of the pathology of the widow's hump, the treatment of which can subsequently take a long period of time. It is also advisable to perform daily gymnastics and systematically undergo a massage course.
It must be clearly understood that this disease has a chronic course and does not go unnoticed in the body, since vegetative-vascular dystonia and other circulatory disorders very often progress against its background.
