Orthopedics or neurology for cervical spondylosis

Patients with cervical spondylosis can go to orthopedics if they manifest neck pain and stiffness, etc. If they manifest symptoms of impaired nerve function, they can go to neurology, which needs to be judged according to the specific symptoms of the patient.
Cervical spondylosis is divided into cervical, nerve root, spinal cord, sympathetic, vertebral artery, and other types (mainly refers to the esophageal compression type) according to the different tissues involved. Different types of cervical spondylosis have different symptoms, and patients need to consult the appropriate department according to their conditions.
If the patient has neck pain and stiffness, and cannot nod, tilt and turn the head and other restricted activities, he or she can go to orthopedics and spine surgery. If there are symptoms of impaired neurological function such as vertigo, abnormal vision, nausea, vomiting, tinnitus, hearing loss, numbness of limbs, etc., the patient can go to the Department of Neurology.
It is recommended that patients with related symptoms go to the relevant departments of the hospital for timely treatment.
