Cervical spondylosis, also known as cervical spine syndrome, is a general term for cervical osteoarthritis, proliferative cervicitis, cervical nerve root syndrome and cervical disc prolapse, which is a disorder based on degenerative pathological changes. It is a clinical syndrome with a series of dysfunctions mainly due to long-term strain, osteophyte or disc prolapse and ligamentous thickening of the cervical spine, resulting in compression of the cervical spinal cord, nerve roots or vertebral artery. It manifests as a series of pathological changes in the cervical disc degeneration itself and its secondary pathology, such as destabilization and loosening of the vertebral joints, herniated or prolapsed nucleus pulposus, bone spur formation, ligamentous hypertrophy and secondary spinal stenosis, which stimulate or compress the adjacent nerve roots, spinal cord, vertebral artery and cervical sympathetic nerve and other tissues, and cause a variety of symptoms and signs. The symptoms of cervical spondylosis are very rich, diverse and complex, and most patients start with mild symptoms that gradually worsen later, while some have more severe symptoms. This is related to the type of cervical spondylosis suffered, but often there are few simple types, and one type is the main type and one to several types are mixed together, called mixed cervical spondylosis. Its main symptoms are head, neck, shoulder, back and arm pain, neck and neck stiffness and restricted movement. The neck and shoulder pain can radiate to the head and occipital region and upper limbs, and some are accompanied by dizziness, house rotation, nausea and vomiting in heavy cases, bedridden, and in a few cases, vertigo and sudden collapse. Some have fever on one side of the face and sometimes abnormal sweating. There is a feeling of heaviness in the back of the shoulder, weakness in the upper limbs, numbness in the fingers, loss of sensation in the skin of the limbs, weakness in holding objects in the hands, and sometimes unconscious gripping of objects to the ground. Other patients have weakness in the lower limbs, unstable walking, numbness in the second foot, and a feeling like stepping on cotton when walking. When cervical spondylosis involves sympathetic nerves, dizziness, headache, blurred vision, swelling of the second eye, dryness, inability to open the second eye, tinnitus, ear blockage, balance disorders, tachycardia, panic, tightness in the chest, and some even have symptoms such as gastrointestinal distention. A few people experience loss of control of bowel movements and urination, sexual dysfunction, and even tetraplegia. There are also symptoms such as dysphagia and dysphonia. These symptoms are related to the degree of onset, the duration of onset, and the individual’s physical condition. Most of the symptoms are mild at the onset and are not taken seriously, most of them can recover on their own, sometimes light and sometimes heavy. If the disease remains untreated for a long time, it can cause psychological damage and produce symptoms such as insomnia, irritability, anger, anxiety and depression. Cervical spondylosis is generally divided into five types: cervical, nerve root, vertebral artery, sympathetic, and spinal cord due to the complex pathogenesis and a wide range of symptoms. The types are different and the treatment methods are also different. There are still some misunderstandings in the diagnosis and treatment of cervical spondylosis: 1. Inappropriate repeated traction. Cervical traction is one of the more effective methods for treating cervical spondylosis, but inappropriate repeated traction can lead to relaxation of the ligaments attached to the cervical spine, accelerate degenerative lesions, and reduce the stability of the cervical spine. 2.Repeated blind massage and reset. The pathogenesis of cervical spondylosis is complex, before doing massage and reset treatment must exclude spinal stenosis, serious disc herniation, cervical instability, etc. Spinal cervical spondylosis absolutely prohibits gravity massage and reset, otherwise it is very easy to aggravate the symptoms, and can even lead to paraplegia. 3, do not pay attention to the recovery of cervical physiological bending in the treatment process. Blind traction, so that the muscles and ligaments of the neck are in a long-term non-physiological state, will cause chronic damage, so in the treatment process should pay attention to the recovery and maintenance of the physiological bending of the cervical spine. 4, too unilaterally exaggerate the effect of surgical or non-surgical treatment methods. 5.Take the prevention of cervical spondylosis lightly. Long-term fixed a posture, easy to cause soft tissue strain in the neck, and gradually develop into cervical spondylosis. The treatment for cervical spondylosis is mainly divided into non-surgical treatment and surgical treatment. For cases with mild symptoms, the symptoms can be reduced with proper rest and some anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving drugs such as fenbid and diclofenac sodium in order to limit the neck activities. The pain symptoms can usually be relieved within 2 weeks to 1 month. If the symptoms are still significant, traction treatment can be performed. Cervical traction is the main means of non-surgical treatment for cervical spondylosis. The purpose of traction is to open up the cervical space and reduce the compression caused by herniated discs, as well as to rest the neck and release the spasm of the cervical muscles. With the above treatment methods, some of the pain caused by cervical spondylosis will disappear. If nerve root symptoms such as pain and numbness occur, the doctor can also control the pain with nerve blocks. In the acute phase of pain, drugs can be injected directly into the inflamed nerve roots. In the chronic phase, it is generally believed that the pain is mainly caused by the vicious cycle of pain, so sympathetic nerve blocks that promote blood circulation should be used first, and epidural blocks can also be performed if the effect is not good, etc.
