A 20-year-old man with a 40-year-old cervical spine – this phenomenon is common in orthopedic clinics, and cervical spondylosis is developing in the direction of lower age. This is related to long-term ambulatory work, study, computer use and a poor lifestyle. But the reality often does not allow you to get out of this life environment. According to incomplete statistics, more than 90 percent of the workers are now suffering from cervical spondylosis. So how can I know I have cervical spondylosis? 1.Symptomatically experience The symptomological diagnosis of cervical spondylosis is firstly the change of appearance and movement. When a normal person tilts his head to the maximum angle, the joint line of nose and forehead is on the same level, and this line is perpendicular to the body’s median line. If your neck is not vertical, your angle of movement is limited, and you have constant stiffness and discomfort, even your shoulders and back, and even your arms are numb, or you have insomnia, you may have cervical spondylosis. When someone has cervical spondylosis, blood pressure rises; when someone has cervical spondylosis, they have panic attacks, insomnia, arm numbness, neck pain and visual impairment. 2.Comparison on film The typical imaging changes of cervical spondylosis are: the normal physiological bending becomes straight, the vertebral space becomes narrower, and bone spurs like a bird’s beak grow on the edges of the angles. 3.Different typing Cervical spondylosis is divided into vertebral artery type, sympathetic nerve type, nerve root type, cervical type and so on. In vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis, there will be dizziness, loss of vision and increase in blood pressure; in sympathetic nerve type cervical spondylosis, there will be panic, insomnia, sweating and heartburn; in nerve root type cervical spondylosis, there will be soreness and numbness in the arms; in cervical type cervical spondylosis, there will be stiffness and pain in the neck, and even pain even in the shoulders and back. Cervical spondylosis is due to degenerative changes in the cervical vertebrae and intervertebral discs (cervical vertebrae form redundant bone, i.e. bone spurs), and the site of the redundant bone or nucleus pulposus compression is different, resulting in different clinical types and different clinical manifestations. If the vertebral artery is compressed, the vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis is formed; if the sympathetic nerve is compressed, the sympathetic nerve type cervical spondylosis is formed; if the nerve root is compressed, the nerve root type cervical spondylosis is formed. 4.Treatment varies. For the treatment of cervical spondylosis, surgery is the main treatment in Western medicine. However, less than 5% of the cases have indications for surgery. In addition, due to the complex structure of the neck, patients are mostly unacceptable. In the clinical process, it is also found that the severity of symptoms of cervical spondylosis is not proportional to the severity of osteophytes. This indicates that the key to the pathogenesis does not lie in the size of the osteophytes, but the exudation and adhesions caused by the surrounding sterile inflammation can compress the nerves, affect the blood flow and cause various symptoms. Therefore, the key to treatment is how to make the aseptic inflammation subside and reduce the compression. Manipulation should be the first choice in the treatment of cervical spondylosis. Manipulation for bone spurs is actually anti-inflammatory. By eliminating inflammation, exudation and swelling are reduced, and pain is relieved, i.e., clinically cured. Manipulation can also dilate blood vessels and promote blood circulation, so that the inflammation subsides, edema and exudate are absorbed, adhesions are loosened, spasm is released, and clinical symptoms disappear, but the changes on X-ray are not great. In addition to manipulation, we should change the bad habits, combine work and rest, and strengthen exercise.
