Is there a classification of cervical spondylosis?

Clinically, if a patient has a herniated cervical disc, the patient can be diagnosed as having cervical spondylosis, but there are many other subtypes of cervical spondylosis, such as the patient can suffer from vertebral artery disease due to hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the bones of the cervical hook vertebral joint, which compresses the vertebral arteries bilaterally. Nerve root compression can also lead to neurogenic cervical spondylosis, or stimulation of sympathetic nodes in the cervical spine can lead to sympathetic cervical spondylosis, which can manifest as vertigo, nausea, vomiting, radioactive tingling and numbness in the upper extremities, and impaired finger dexterity. Other patients may have difficulty walking and a feeling of stepping on cotton piles in the lower limbs when walking. Therefore, when treating cervical spondylosis, it is important to clarify the typology of cervical spondylosis and then take symptomatic treatment.
