Sympathetic cervical spondylosis is treated with non-surgical and surgical treatments.
Cervical spondylosis refers to a series of symptoms and signs that appear due to cervical disc degeneration and its secondary changes, which irritate or compress adjacent tissues such as spinal cord, nerves and blood vessels.
When the compression of sympathetic nerve fibers causes a series of reflex sympathetic symptoms such as headache, dizziness, palpitation, insomnia and memory loss, it is called sympathetic cervical spondylosis, and its treatment is mainly divided into non-surgical and surgical treatments.
1. Non-surgical treatment: such as cervical traction, cervical braking, physical therapy, improving poor working and sleeping posture, adjusting the height of the pillow and so on. Often need to be combined with painkillers such as acetaminophen, celecoxib, muscle relaxants such as eperisone tablets, neurotrophic drugs such as vitamin B and other simultaneous treatment.
2. Surgery: When the symptoms are obvious and non-surgical treatment is ineffective and even affects the work and life, or the sympathetic nerves are obviously compressed, accompanied by neurological dysfunction, surgical treatment should be taken in a timely manner, and the main surgical procedures include anterior decompression and fusion of cervical vertebrae, posterior decompression, and so on.
Patients with sympathetic cervical spondylosis should go to regular hospitals for treatment under the guidance of professional doctors.
