Cervical spondylosis can cause a range of symptoms due to degenerative changes in the cervical spine that lead to nerve compression, and the symptoms of different stages of cervical spondylosis and different types of nerve compression are not exactly the same. Nerve compression due to cervical spondylosis is commonly seen in neurogenic cervical spondylosis, spinal cord cervical spondylosis, and also sympathetic cervical spondylosis. Neurogenic cervical spondylosis is the most common type causing nerve compression in the neck and mainly shows manifestations of pain, numbness and weakness in the area innervated by the nerves. Most early manifestations are characterized by significant pain and hypersensitivity. Treatment is by traction or other physiotherapy methods. In severe cases, spinal endoscopic minimally invasive decompression disc removal surgery or open decompression surgery can be performed. Spinal cord cervical spondylosis is mainly caused by cervical spinal cord compression due to osteophytes or herniated discs in the cervical spine, resulting in corresponding symptoms. The main symptoms include inflexibility or numbness of the upper limbs, a feeling of upper thoracic girdle, unstable walking, a feeling of walking on the floor, and abnormal urinary and fecal functions. Sympathetic cervical spondylosis is a series of very complicated symptoms caused by the compression of sympathetic nerves by cervical spondylosis, which can include vision symptoms such as loss of vision and blurred vision, hearing loss and tinnitus, etc. It can also lead to an increase in blood pressure and ischemic cardiomyopathy-like conditions such as heartburn and chest tightness and shortness of breath, etc. For the nerve compression caused by cervical spondylosis, it can be relieved by physical therapy or surgery, and attention should be paid to avoiding factors that can cause cervical spondylosis in general.
