Cervical spondylosis is a clinical syndrome in which degenerative changes in the cervical spine lead to compression of the cervical spinal cord, cervical nerve roots and vertebral arteries, causing a range of symptoms. The direct causes of spinal nerve compression include: cervical disc degeneration, bulging and protrusion; cervical spine osteophytes; thickening or calcification of the posterior longitudinal ligament and ligamentum flavum of the cervical spine. Typical symptoms are mostly cervical discomfort accompanied by pain, numbness and weakness of both upper limbs, and in severe cases, there may be numbness and weakness of the limbs, urinary and faecal dysfunction and other symptoms of paralysis. Of course, a considerable number of patients do not have obvious symptoms in the neck and only start with limb symptoms, which often delay treatment. With the change of people’s living habits, such as working with their heads down for a long time, playing with cell phones with their heads down, lying in bed reading and watching TV, sleeping on high pillows, etc., the incidence of cervical spondylosis is increasing and there is a clear trend of youthfulness. Many people do not pay attention to the symptoms when they appear and do not go to the regular hospital for examination, but blindly go to do massage and massage. Although these treatments have a certain effect on relaxing the neck muscles, there is also a risk of aggravating the disease or even leading to paralysis. Because there is a certain gap around the nerves in normal people, there is a certain buffer space when we move our necks, while the gap around the nerves in cervical spondylosis is narrow and the buffer space is extremely small, so the nerves are easily injured when they are subjected to external forces or when the neck moves substantially, leading to aggravation of symptoms or even paralysis. Human nerve cells are fragile and cannot be regenerated. When the spinal cord nerves are compressed, the nerve cells are damaged or necrotic. The more severe and prolonged the compression, the more necrosis there is and the less effective the treatment. Therefore, patients who have numbness and weakness in their hands and feet should be operated as soon as the diagnosis is confirmed. The purpose of surgery is to relieve spinal cord compression, promote the restoration of function of damaged nerve cells, and resolve symptoms such as numbness and weakness of the limbs. It is normal for many people to have a fear of surgery. In fact, although there are risks associated with all surgeries, modern medical technology is advanced and the surgical techniques are mature, and the majority of patients have excellent outcomes after surgical treatment.
