The clinical manifestation of cervical spondylosis varies according to the different tissues under pressure and the severity of the compression at the lesion site.
1.Cervical cervical spondylosis
2.Neurogenic cervical spondylosis
3.Spinal cord type cervical spondylosis
4.Vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis
5.Esophageal cervical spondylosis
6.Mixed cervical spondylosis
The important preparatory signs of cervical spondylosis are
1.Various degrees of deformity and stiffness in the neck are very
2, pressure pain points below the cervical transverse process of the involved cervical spinal nerve and the area innervated by its dorsal branch
3. Positive brachial plexus nerve pull test
4. Positive intervertebral foramen compression test
5. Positive shoulder downward pressure test
6. When the cervical nerve is stimulated, the distal part of the nerve shows painful hypersensitivity in the early stage; when it is compressed more heavily or for a longer period of time, the distal part of the nerve shows hyperalgesia for one year.
7.Tendon reflex is active when the main nerve innervating the biceps and triceps tendons is excited, and vice versa, the tendon reflex is reduced or disappears.
8, the nerve roots are compressed after the lighter the strength of the muscles they innervate is weakened the heavier still suffer not can see contact muscle atrophy
Clinical signs of cervical spondylosis cannot be seen
Emphasis on the clinical according to the compression is located in the central or side of the spinal cord can be divided into simple spinal cord type and spinal nerve root mixed type
Special acupuncture treatment for cervical spondylosis.
1.Existing treatment methods for cervical spondylosis

2.Special needle method for cervical spondylosis
According to the physiological situation of the human cervical spine, and the cause of cervical spondylosis, with special needle method to lift the cause of the disease, through the meridians, tendons and knots, to balance the cervical spine to achieve the purpose of curing cervical spondylosis, this method works fast, generally one or two times to lift the disease pain.
