But with the passage of time, the condition not only did not reduce, but more and more serious, a month after walking are a little laborious. So go to the hospital after the examination, film, the doctor told him that he suffered from cervical spondylosis, have to take medicine and physical therapy. He also said that when the effect of these treatments was not good, he would have to consider surgery. The torture of cervical spondylosis made Lao Zhao very frustrated, and the possibility of needing surgery scared him even more. But even though he was frustrated and scared, he still had to be treated. Just after a month or so of medication and physical therapy, there was no significant improvement. The doctor recommended surgery. Lao Zhao is very contradictory, home after the mood is not good, often and old partner, children angry. This day, the son came home to the old Zhao said, his colleague’s father is also cervical spondylosis, let an old man surnamed Wang “wrenching neck” to wrench the son and his partner advised him to try, the old Zhao had felt “wrenching neck” is quite scary, but think about doing surgery on the agreement. The next day at noon, the son invited old man Wang to his home. Please Wang had a hearty lunch, and drank tea for a while, Wang began to give Lao Zhao “wrenching neck”. In fact, it is very simple, let the old Zhao sitting in a chair, Wang old man while giving the old Zhao massage the neck while chatting with him, and then while the old Zhao did not pay attention to the old Zhao, suddenly force, the old Zhao’s neck hard board a little bit, the old Zhao can hear the neck inside the “ka-ching” rang a sound. Then Old Man Wang asked Lao Zhao if he felt better. Lao Zhao try, there is no special feeling. Elder Wang said, in a couple of days the feeling will be obvious.

This accident let the old Zhao’s son regretted his father discharged from the hospital, the son went to the hospital to consult the doctor about cervical spondylosis and “wrenching the neck”, why his father appeared so dangerous situation. The doctor patiently explained to Zhao. “Cervical spondylosis is a series of symptoms caused by degeneration of cervical intervertebral discs leading to osteophytes in the upper and lower vertebral bodies, which compress the nerve roots, spinal cord, or propulsive veins, and can be categorized into spinal nerve root, spinal cord, and propulsive vein types. The symptoms of the three types are different, and so is the treatment. The spinal nerve root type is caused by the compression of the nerve roots by the proliferated bone, which is mainly manifested as neck and shoulder soreness, pain, sometimes numbness of the fingers, inactivity, etc. It can be treated with head traction, physiotherapy, braking (fixation of the neck), medication, small needles, or surgery. Pushing vein type is caused by hyperplastic bone compressing the pushing vein supplying the brain, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain. The main symptoms are headache, dizziness, sometimes nausea, deafness, blurred vision, etc. Sometimes, when the head is tilted backward, deviated sideways, or rotated, there will be a sudden loss of consciousness. In addition to braking, anti-inflammatory and pain relief, treatment of arteriosclerosis is also needed, as well as small needle treatment, and in severe cases, surgery is needed. The spinal cord type, which is what your father suffers from, is caused by hyperplastic bone growing into the spinal canal and compressing the spinal cord. Symptoms include tightness and numbness in one or both lower limbs, and slowly weakness, tenderness, and even difficulty walking. If it continues to develop, there will be numbness in the upper limbs, hand weakness, and in severe cases, quadriplegia, bed-ridden, inability to urinate, and so on. The treatments for spinal cord type include braking, physical therapy and medication, etc. Surgery is needed in severe cases. However, traction cannot usually be applied because it may aggravate the symptoms. This dangerous condition that your father has developed may be due to localized injury caused by ‘neck wrenching’. Outlook inflammation and edema, and then compression of the medullary respiratory center above the cervical spine, and caused a weakening or even cessation of breathing. If not found in time, there will be unimaginable consequences. Therefore, patients with cervical spondylosis, or should go to the regular hospital to receive treatment, randomly looking for someone to ‘wrench the neck’ is very dangerous.” The son went home and told the doctor’s words to his father, and the family discussed and decided to undergo surgery according to the doctor’s recommendations. Soon after the operation, Lao Zhao basically recovered. Now, the retired Lao Zhao is a tennis star in the senior university!
