Why are recurrent colds related to the cervical spine?

  The majority of patients ask me why recurrent colds are related to the cervical spine.  There was a patient with cervical spondylosis who came to me for manipulation treatment, and the treatment was less than a course of treatment, when 15 times of manipulation treatment was counted as a course of treatment, because not once a day manipulation treatment, the patient told me during the treatment process, “Dr. Li, through your treatment of my cervical spondylosis my cold symptoms have not appeared, otherwise I had at least 1-2 colds a month before the treatment of cervical spine, and to infusion treatment, almost often go to the hospital to treat the cold, and cold symptoms more serious than once, she asked me why?  Because I am a doctor, graduated in 93, 94 years with the teacher to learn Chinese medicine orthopedic manipulation treatment professional, never before the patient said after treatment, mainly to learn the treatment of cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation. At that time, I explained to her that there are two types of bacteria in the human mouth, one is pathogenic bacteria and the other is anti-pathogenic bacteria, pathogenic bacteria like to reproduce in the case of poor blood circulation, while anti-pathogenic bacteria like to reproduce in the case of good blood circulation.  After the cervical spine has problems, especially after C1-3 has been untreated for a long time, it affects the dysfunction of the nervous system that governs the oral mucosa, the oral mucosa has poor blood circulation, pathogenic bacteria multiply in the case of poor blood circulation, and antibacteria do not multiply in the case of poor blood circulation. The aseptic inflammation aggravates the cervical spondylosis, so we have to protect the cervical spine well.  In addition, when we have recurrent colds, we should know to look at cervical spondylosis, because some patients with problems in the cervical spine do not necessarily cervical pain or neck discomfort, because only when the disease reaches its limit will symptoms appear, and there are dozens of clinical symptoms caused by cervical spondylosis, my patient follow-up until now, she rarely has a cold, she is almost 70 years old, wish everyone good health and happiness!
