Cervical spondylosis has symptoms such as dull pain, dizziness and dizziness, straightening of the neck, numbness of the upper limbs, like being chanted by the monk, and throbbing pain in the temples. However, “cervical spondylosis” is not just a disease name as we think, but a general term for six major types, including cervical, radicular, spinal, vertebral artery, sympathetic and mixed cervical spondylosis. The treatment and prognosis of different types of cervical spondylosis in the cervical spine family are different, so it is still important to recognize the types. Neurogenic cervical spondylosis Narrowing of the intervertebral foramen causes compression of the cervical spinal nerve, mostly in the 4 to 7 cervical vertebrae. High incidence age group: 30 to 50 years old. Early symptoms include neck pain and neck stiffness; radiating pain or numbness in the upper extremities, which radiates along the course of the compressed nerve roots and the innervated area, sometimes with a clear relationship between the appearance and relief of symptoms and the position and posture of the patient’s neck; heavy sensation and loss of grip strength in the affected upper extremity, sometimes with falling objects. It is recommended that non-surgical treatment, such as heat therapy and physical traction, should be chosen in the early stage of the disease, and the earlier the time of seeking medical treatment, the better the efficacy. Spinal cord cervical spondylosis Spinal cord cervical spondylosis is the most dangerous, with about 15% of patients suffering from this type. The main lesions are: cervical spine lesions leading to spinal cord compression, inflammation, edema, etc. High incidence age group: 40 to 60 years old. When herniated discs, osteophytes, or thickened or ossified ligaments connecting the bones and joints occur, the spinal cord and blood vessels can be compressed, and even ischemia or necrosis of the spinal cord can occur. Most of the cases develop after middle age in a “recessive” form, with unilateral or bilateral lower limb numbness in the early clinical stage, and later developing into walking difficulties and urinary and fecal dysfunction or even paralysis. In terms of treatment, non-surgical therapy is still the basic treatment for this type, especially in early stage patients, about half of the cases can obtain more obvious results. However, the condition should be closely observed during the procedure, and any rough manipulation and maneuvers should be avoided. Once the condition worsens, the operation should be performed early to prevent degeneration of the spinal cord. Vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis This type is caused by insufficient blood supply due to bone spurs, vascular degeneration or lesions, and the incidence is about 5%. High incidence age group: 30 to 40 years old. Main symptoms: episodic vertigo, diplopia with nystagmus; sometimes accompanied by nausea, vomiting, tinnitus or hearing loss, which are related to the change of neck position; sudden weakness of lower limbs and sudden collapse, but consciousness, which mostly occurs when the head and neck are in a certain position; occasional numbness and abnormal sensation in the limbs. Sympathetic cervical spondylosis Sympathetic cervical spondylosis accounts for only 2% of cases, and the main lesion is that various cervical lesions provoke sympathetic nerve endings on the nerve roots, joint capsule or collateral ligament. High incidence age group: 30 to 45 years old. The main symptoms include dizziness, headache, poor sleep, memory loss, difficulty concentrating; eye distension, blurred vision; tinnitus, ear blockage, hearing loss; nasal congestion, foreign body sensation in the throat, dry mouth, vocal cord fatigue; nausea or even vomiting, abdominal distension, diarrhea, indigestion, belching, etc.; palpitation, chest tightness, heart rate changes, arrhythmia, blood pressure changes, etc.; excessive sweating, no sweating, chills or fever on the face or a certain limb. Mixed type of cervical spondylosis It is common for the above types of different symptoms to occur at the same time, and we call it a mixed type. Comprehensive introduction of the above article content, I believe we all have a more profound understanding of cervical spondylosis. We know that such diseases are divided into six major types. I hope that in the future life in the emergence of cervical spondylosis we patients must be treated according to the type of disease suffered. May each patient can do the correct treatment early recovery.
