We generally think that cervical spondylosis is mainly seen in people between the ages of 30 and 50. However, what we are seeing in the clinic now is that many younger patients are complaining of neck pain, upper extremity numbness and often unbearable dizziness, and even elementary school students in their early teens are coming to the clinic for neck pain. For these patients, our clinical examination reveals that the neck is relatively stiff, with significant interspinous and paravertebral pressure pain, while pathological reflexes such as Hoffmann’s sign are generally negative. When X-rays are taken, the front and side views will reveal that the physiological curvature of the cervical spine disappears or is even retroflexed, and some of the atlantoaxial open-ended views show that the spacing between the pontine odontoid and the blocks on both sides of the atlantoaxial spine are not equal, that is, the atlantoaxial spine is rotated and semi-dislocated, while on cervical MRI, there is often no manifestation of cervical disc degeneration or herniation present. This is mainly due to the fact that we are living in an era of rapid changes that are overturning our traditional concepts and changing the way we live, learn and work. According to the classic textbook definition, cervical spondylosis is a clinical syndrome caused by degeneration of the cervical disc and its secondary changes that irritate or compress adjacent tissues such as nerve roots, spinal cord, vertebral artery, sympathetic nerve and other tissue structures. However, in actual clinical work, we found that this traditional understanding of cervical spondylosis ignores the pathological changes in the pre-degenerative stage of the intervertebral disc, has the defect of not being able to view cervical spondylosis comprehensively and developmentally, and attaches importance to passive treatment but neglects active movement treatment. From the current clinical practice, the strain degeneration of the cervical muscle power system is the initiator of cervical spondylosis, and the change in the physiological curvature of the cervical spine is a sign of the loss of cervical dynamic balance. Therefore, it can be considered that cervical spondylosis is a chronic degenerative disease based on the strain or degeneration of cervical muscles and ligaments, with cervical disc degeneration as the intermediate link, and cervical instability and its compensatory changes as the main development mechanism, involving cervical nerve roots, spinal cord, vertebral artery, sympathetic nerve and other tissue structures, producing corresponding symptoms and signs. Therefore, we should carry out health education not only among adults, but also from elementary school students, who should focus on proper sitting and good lifestyle habits education. As the saying goes, “Sit like a bell, stand like a pine.” Once again, when standing and walking, eyes level in front, not walking while playing with the phone, not only prone to safety problems, more likely to damage the cervical spine and eyes. If there is neck pain, upper limb numbness or even dizziness discomfort, you should actively consult the orthopedic clinic and rehabilitation medicine clinic. After radiography and MRI examination, if the cervical spine is only retroflexed without obvious disc protrusion or only mild protrusion, you can choose non-surgical conservative treatment, cervical spine traction in the rehabilitation department, combined with physical factor therapy and manual massage, and correct poor sitting and lying posture in daily life and work, and develop good living and working habits, so that after a period of time, the physiological curvature of the cervical spine will be slowly restored and the further degeneration and damage of the cervical spine.
