Vertebral joint blockage cervical spine

Synonyms:Blocking, Segmental Articular Dysfunction, Cervicalgia, Acute Wryneck
Location of the greatest pain:Depending on the height of the blocked vertebral joint, local pain point, slightly offset to the side of the cervical spine center. Often middle cervical spine section.
PathologyCause:Temporary, reversible “entanglement” of an intervertebral joint with painful joint capsule tension.
Age:Mostly younger to middle-aged patients (20-50 years). Frequently in young women with joint hypermobility.
Gender:Women = Men
Accident:No real accident event.
Trigger mostly unfavorable head movement. Connection with draught. Frequently from sleep (misplacement).

Rib joint blocking

Synonyms:Blocking, Segmental Articular Dysfunction
Location of the greatest pain: Depending on the height of the blocked rib, local pain point, more to the side of the thoracic spine center. Very often between the shoulder blades. Strong pain with deep inhalation.
PathologyCause:Temporary, reversible “entanglement” of a rib-intervertebral joint with painful joint capsule tension.
Age:Mostly younger patients (20-35 years).
Frequently in young women with joint hypermobility.
Gender:Women > Men
Accident:Impact injury to the ribcage. Lifting/bending/twisting of the upper body or out of sleep.
Type of pain:Partly dull continuous pain. Light, stabbing pain when moving in the blocked direction.
Mostly pain radiating along the ribs into the chest.
Origin of pain:Sudden onset of pain (lifting / accident) or after getting up in the morning.
Pain occurrence:Permanent pain with persistent blockage. Pain of movement in a certain direction. Pain in movement of the arms.
Pain dependent on breathing. Pain provoked by pressure against the chest.
External aspects:Possible visible protrusion of a rib. Movement of the ribcage to different sides during breathing.
