What is cervical spondylosis? What should I do if I already have cervical spondylosis? I believe that this is a great concern for patients suffering from this disease. Cervical spondylosis is a clinical syndrome based on cervical disc degeneration, caused by pathological factors such as disc protrusion, bone growth, thickening of the ligamentum flavum, cervical instability, etc., which individually or jointly stimulate or compress the cervical spinal cord, cervical nerve root, sympathetic nerve or vertebral artery. Because it is based on cervical disc degeneration, it is more likely to occur in long-term ambulatory or sedentary workers, such as IT, finance, teachers, secretaries and other occupational groups. Irritation or compression of the cervical spinal cord may result in numbness, clumsiness, unsteadiness of walking, or a feeling of thoracic and abdominal strapping, and urinary and bowel dysfunction. Nerve root lesions may cause pain, weakness, numbness, or abnormal sensation in specific areas of nerve root innervation that are more clearly localized. Stimulation of the sympathetic nerve or vertebral artery may present with a wide range of symptoms such as vertigo, syncope, nausea, chest tightness, panic, tinnitus, and memory loss associated with neck activity. The other most common is neck and shoulder pain caused by stimulation of the posterior branch of the cervical nerve. The nature of the pain is mostly dull, aching and swollen, and there is a feeling of heaviness, which can range from the top of the occiput to the scapular region depending on the stimulated nerve, and most of these pains are not relieved by symptomatic treatment or rest.
