What is the cervical spine department

  Patients with cervical spondylosis should come to the orthopedic surgery department of a regular hospital for examination and treatment.  For a patient with cervical spondylosis, the type of cervical spondylosis should be determined first, such as neurogenic cervical spondylosis, spinal cord cervical spondylosis, sympathetic cervical spondylosis, vertebral artery cervical spondylosis, etc. Their manifestations are different, and they also have different treatment methods in terms of treatment. Therefore, for patients with cervical spondylosis, they should be examined first. Cervical spine X-ray can determine whether the cervical spine curvature and the intervertebral space are abnormal; cervical spine CT can determine whether there is calcification of soft tissues and whether the spinal canal is narrow; cervical spine MRI can check the abnormalities of soft tissues in the cervical spine area, such as whether the intervertebral disc is herniated and the abnormalities of ligaments and muscles in the neck, etc. For patients with cervical spondylosis, if there is no obvious nerve and spinal cord compression, conservative treatment can be carried out, and if conservative treatment is ineffective or spinal cord nerve compression is obvious, surgical treatment is required.  In addition to orthopedic system treatment, patients can also go to the rehabilitation department and acupuncture department of regular hospitals for regular massage and acupuncture-assisted treatment, which can effectively relieve the stiffness and discomfort of the neck and shoulder.
