The recovery time varies depending on the severity of cervical compression of the sympathetic nerve and the treatment method. Sympathetic cervical spondylosis is mostly caused by cervical spine hyperplasia or instability stimulating the cervical sympathetic chain due to long-term head down and sedentary, and is a common spinal disorder. Compression of sympathetic nerves by the cervical spine causes sympathetic nerves to appear hyperactive or inhibited, resulting in symptoms such as dizziness, headache, abdominal pain, diarrhea, chest tightness, panic, nausea, vomiting and weakness. Mild sympathetic cervical spondylosis can be treated by conservative treatment such as cervical traction and massage, and can be gradually recovered after 3 months, but if the symptoms are not relieved after 3 months of conservative treatment, surgery is needed in time when the symptoms are serious with obvious instability or spinal cord compression. Patients with sympathetic cervical spondylosis should pay attention to sitting and sleeping posture, avoid low head as far as possible, choose a pillow of moderate hardness, pay attention to warmth, and do appropriate whole-body exercises, such as walking, playing badminton or table tennis, swimming, etc., which can help the prevention and recovery of cervical spondylosis.
