Cervical degeneration is a degenerative change that occurs when the growth and development of the cervical spine gradually stops as the human body ages and begins gradually as the human body ages, and is most common in the middle-aged and elderly population. The main cause of the disease is ageing and long-term neck overload, with a small number of considerations such as neck trauma and genetic factors. Some surveys show that 50% of people in the 40-50 age range may begin to occur, while almost 100% of people in the upper 60s will experience cervical degeneration, and a small number of young people with poor lifestyle habits, long hours of watching TV, playing with cell phones and computers plus poor posture, as well as those with a history of previous cervical spine trauma are also more likely to develop. The disease can cause neck pain, limb pain and limb movement disorders, specifically pain that increases when tilting or lowering the head, weakness and numbness of the hands, even inability to hold a pencil or chopsticks, and a feeling of heaviness in the lower limbs, making it impossible to walk quickly. Some patients may show signs of inadequate blood supply to the basilar artery, and transient paralysis or episodic coma may occur. The disease itself is difficult to eradicate, but with timely and effective medication and general treatment, patients’ quality of life can be relieved to a certain extent. Failure to control the disease development in time may cause irreversible damage to the patient’s nerves, which may lead to paralysis. Patients should also perform appropriate exercises in their daily life, which can increase the range of motion of the cervical spine, and long-term adherence to exercise can promote the body’s adaptation to the compensatory process and reduce recurrence.
