VASCULAR AND VEGETATIVE SPINAL-CORD DISORDERS IN DISRUPTIONS OF THE MOBILE VERTEBRAE

Microcirculatory disorders can be a source of nerve cell pathology in spinal cord gray matter. Subluxation of a vertebra as the result of disruption in carrying capacity of an intervertebral disc due to spinal osteochondrosis is one of the trigger mechanisms for these disorders. In this condition, the richly innervated soft tissues of a certebral segment are stretched, and its receptors are the source of chronic irritation of segmentary nervous structures, including the vegetative structures. In subluxation of a vertebra, changes in the vegetative connections of spinal cord gray matter and the microcirculatory vessels arise simultaneously; this suggests interdependence between them.
