It is everyone’s quest to stay young, but the years push people to grow old and fingers snap. Usually people think that a gray hair, the appearance of a wrinkle indicates the aging of the body, in fact, from a medical point of view, the body’s earliest aging tissue is the intervertebral disc. Nearly a century of medical research has shown that when the development of the intervertebral disc is complete, its degenerative changes begin. The intervertebral disc is one of the major components of the spine, supporting body weight and dominating the physiological activities of the trunk – including extension, lateral flexion and rotation. Common disorders following degeneration include cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation, discogenic back pain, spinal stenosis, and spinal instability. 1. Is hand numbness, pain and osteophytes cervical spondylosis? Many outpatients visit the clinic worrying that they are cervical spondylosis because some doctors say that cervical spondylosis will cause numbness in the hands, dizziness, and is related to osteophytes. This is actually not the case. After nearly fifty years of research, cervical spondylosis has revealed that its cause is cervical disc degeneration, which causes secondary changes that lead to compression of the cervical spinal cord, nerve roots, blood vessels, etc., resulting in the corresponding symptoms of the disease. Here we recommend that people over 50 years of age who experience unilateral upper limb numbness, pain, limb girdling sensation, or even unstable walking should immediately consult an orthopedic surgeon to make a scientific and reasonable diagnosis and treatment. Do not think that the body is very healthy in the past, the limb sensation, movement disorder is only overwork, this will make the cervical spondylosis is not properly treated. 2.Is dizziness and pillow fall a degenerative disease of the cervical spine? Dizziness and pillow fall are common discomforts, so is there a relationship with cervical degeneration? There are many causes of dizziness, and there are a few that have combined symptoms such as tinnitus, vomiting, headache, nystagmus, and spinning in the sky. It can be said that a very important aspect of dizziness caused by inadequate blood supply to the vertebral artery due to degenerative changes in the cervical spine is that simply turning the neck to one side can cause dizziness. We recommend that patients with similar conditions pay attention to the rehabilitation of the neck. As for the pillow, which is actually a mild cervical spondylosis, it can generally be cured after the physician excludes serious organic pathology. 3.What about low back pain? Low back pain is reported to be the third most common cause of disability at the age of 45 to 65. Among all people, the rate of having low back pain in their lifetime is as high as 80%. So what is the scientific thing to do after the occurrence of low back pain? The first thing you should do is carefully recall the cause of your low back pain symptoms, such as sprains, strain, etc. If it is related to trauma, then resting your back is the first thing you should do. If the back pain does not improve after rest, it is time to seek medical attention. From the perspective of spinal surgery, low back pain associated with degenerative changes in the spine is characterized by: lower back pain that occurs after activity and can be aggravated by exertion; pain that radiates to the buttocks or below the thighs; numbness and pain in the thighs; inability to walk long distances, sometimes requiring rest halfway through the walk; and even combined with abnormal bowel and stool movements. If you have similar symptoms, then you need the guidance of a professional physician, you should not just do a massage, traction and ignore, once the delay in diagnosis and treatment, the development of the disease is prone to accidents.
