How should young people with cervical spondylosis be treated?

  How to prevent and treat cervical spondylosis in young people?  Cervical spondylosis is a comprehensive set of symptoms caused by changes in the tissue structure of the cervical spine and the imbalance of the dynamic balance of the joints, muscles and ligaments of the cervical spine, which affects the corresponding nerve, blood vessel or internal organ functions. In the past, it was common in the middle-aged and elderly population, mostly due to degenerative changes of the cervical spine. In recent years, many young people and even primary and secondary school students also suffer from such diseases, and the age of onset tends to be significantly younger. White-collar “occupational disease” white-collar class every day almost repeated the same work posture: hand holding the mouse, staring at the computer screen without turning his eyes. Keeping this posture overly focused and rigid for a long time will cause a loss of balance in the movement of the neck, so that the neck joints, muscles, ligaments, nerves, blood vessels, spinal cord involvement, easy to accelerate the degeneration of the cervical spine. Some people are sedentary at the same time, but also inadvertently developed the habit of bending, hunchback, the neck muscles in this non-coordinated state of stress for a long time, it is easy to induce cervical spondylosis.  Cervical spine treatment: do not massage. After many patients get sick, greedy for cheap to go to the informal massage store, accept no professional medical training of the masseur treatment, there are great hidden dangers. Improper massage can lead to further damage to soft tissue. Although after a vigorous massage, the patient will feel more comfortable for a short time, but the symptoms will soon reappear. After vigorous massage, muscle edema will occur, repeated massage, repeated edema, forming a vicious circle, the result will lead to more and more power of massage, but the condition does not improve. More frightening is that some masseurs arbitrarily trigger the cervical spine, will destroy the stability of the cervical spine, accelerate the degeneration of the disc protrusion, and even make the spinal cord is more serious compression, causing serious consequences. Prevention is better than cure At present, the treatment of general cervical spondylosis mostly uses instruments traction, acupuncture, massage, small acupuncture, oral medication, manipulation and other methods, under the guidance of a specialist, according to the specific condition of each person, choose one or several optimal treatment plan to achieve the desired treatment purpose. In addition, if cervical disc herniation and other causes of spinal cord cervical spondylosis, if the symptoms of spinal cord compression are serious and simple conservative treatment is not effective, surgery should be performed as appropriate and timely to avoid delaying the disease.  At present, there are three ways to treat this disease: 1. conservative treatment, which is suitable for patients who have just developed nerve compression and can relieve symptoms; 2. minimally invasive interventional treatment; 3. traditional surgery.  Conservative treatment: including bed rest, medication, traction, acupuncture, nerve block and other methods, suitable for the first onset or mild cases. The purpose of this treatment is to promote the herniated part to retract, improve local blood circulation, enlarge the vertebral space to reduce the compression and stimulation of nerve roots, eliminate edema and inflammation caused by the herniated object pressing on the nerve, and temporarily relieve the symptoms, but this treatment basically cannot completely eliminate and retract the herniated intervertebral disc.  Minimally invasive surgical treatment: Under the guidance of C-arm or CT image, through a tiny catheter or puncture needle to accurately and directly act on the herniated area, through physical factors, ablate or dissolve the herniated material, so that the herniated material retracts or disappears, relieving the compression of the nerve, and achieving the same efficacy as open surgery treatment. For example: percutaneous laser disc vaporization and decompression, ozone minimally invasive interventional therapy, collagenase biolysis, etc. They have the advantages of less trauma, faster recovery, no damage to the normal results in the spinal canal and no impact on the biomechanical stability of the spine. Minimally invasive surgical treatment has become the trend of modern medical development. But the specific can do, need to combine the condition and film comprehensive analysis.
