Cervical compression hand numbness is not already serious

Cervical spine compression hand numbness is relatively serious, which is the result of compression of the nerve roots in the neck, producing radiating numbness and pain in the upper limbs. Neurogenic cervical spondylosis patients with cervical intervertebral disc degenerative changes to the spinal canal protrusion, compression to the nerves innervating the upper limbs will cause numbness of the upper limbs. It is also possible that cervical spondylolisthesis has produced spinal stenosis that compresses the nerves, resulting in numbness and pain on both or one side of the upper extremity. If the compression is prolonged, it can cause irreversible nerve damage, leading to adverse outcomes such as muscle atrophy of the upper extremities. If the nerve compression is relatively mild, cervical traction and massage can be used to relieve the pain, or oral painkillers such as celecoxib or nutritive nerve drugs such as methylcobalamin can be used for treatment and relief. If the compression is serious, timely surgical treatment should be taken, such as anterior cervical decompression surgery. Patients with cervical spine compression hand numbness should go to the hospital in time for examination and formal treatment after clear diagnosis. The above drugs should be taken under the guidance of a physician.
