Centralized spinal cord cervical spondylosis does not necessarily lead to paralysis. Centralized spinal cord cervical spondylosis refers to the herniation of the intervertebral discs from the center to compress the spinal cord, and numbness of the limbs can occur with lighter compression, and paralysis can occur with heavier compression. However, paralysis does not necessarily occur.
Degenerative changes in the cervical intervertebral discs can easily compress or irritate the spinal cord, or stimulate the blood vessels supplying the spinal cord, thus causing a series of symptoms in the patient. Light compression can occur in the upper or lower extremities, numbness, heaviness of the limbs, and a feeling of stepping on cotton in both feet. A heavier degree of compression may result in paralysis of both lower limbs and dysfunction of both bowels. However, paralysis does not always occur.
If diagnosed and treated in time, paralysis caused by spinal cord disease can be prevented.
Patients found central spinal cord cervical spondylosis need to timely X-ray examination, the doctor to clarify the severity of the patient’s injury, and actively cooperate with the doctor to carry out treatment, usually pay attention to develop good living habits, avoid standing for a long time, sitting for a long time, pay attention to the cervical spine protection.
