Whether the compression of the spinal cord by cervical spondylosis 5-6 is serious or not needs to be judged according to the degree of compression. If the spinal cord is mildly compressed and the symptoms are mild, it is less serious. If the spinal cord is severely compressed and symptoms such as severe pain, numbness, and weakness are manifested, it is more serious and requires timely and standardized treatment.
If the spinal cord is mildly compressed, mild pain and stiffness in the neck is not too serious. Timely treatment is recommended to avoid deterioration of the condition. Conservative treatment can be taken according to the specific situation, such as physical therapy such as baking electricity and hot compresses to promote blood circulation in the neck. Medication, such as diclofenac sodium and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as celecoxib, can be taken to relieve pain.
If the spinal cord is severely compressed, symptoms such as severe pain and numbness in the upper limbs, or even the feeling of stepping on cotton in the feet, are more serious. If conservative treatment is ineffective, timely surgical treatment, such as intervertebral implant fusion, is recommended to relieve spinal cord compression.
If there is cervical spondylosis 5-6 compression of the spinal cord, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner, under the guidance of the doctor according to the specific conditions of the appropriate treatment.
