Technology is developing and human beings are progressing, and at the same time human diseases are also progressing. Diseases like cervical spondylosis show a trend of getting younger and younger, and many high school and college students have neck pain without completing their studies, and many patients will tell me that cervical spondylosis cannot be completely cured. But I would like to say, is what we call cervical spondylosis really cervical spondylosis? In the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, there is this sentence: “Although the disease is long, it can still be cured. Those who say it cannot be cured have not yet acquired its art.” It’s true that we can’t solve many diseases. But I think we should be able to explain cervical spondylosis very well now. Traditional Western medicine divides cervical spondylosis into cervical cervical spondylosis, neurogenic cervical spondylosis, spinal cervical spondylosis, vertebral artery cervical spondylosis, sympathetic cervical spondylosis, and mixed cervical spondylosis. When I treat patients, I rarely consider the patient’s subtype because I consider the cervical spondylosis I encounter more from the perspective of soft tissue injury. Many of the patients I encounter are the result of soft tissue injuries in the neck. The first thing I do when dealing with a patient with neck pain is to assess the patient: while standing, take measurements of the angles of extension, flexion, lateral flexion, and rotation in each direction, and then have the patient repeat the test supine to determine if the patient’s pain is caused by overexertion of the shoulder girdle muscles due to the deep neck muscles not exerting force. If it is judged that the deep neck muscles will not exert force, the pain can be resolved by doing exercises for the deep muscles. If it is judged that it is not a problem of the deep muscles, then the problem of the soft tissues of the neck should be considered. I see that the soft tissues can be loosened by acupuncture, massage, stretching and other symptomatic treatment. After doing the above treatment, if the patient still feels pain, what we also need to consider is whether the patient is a breathing pattern error (generally long time neck pain breathing pattern will be disturbed, this can be a step earlier intervention), and whether the core muscles are weak, and whether the displacement from the pelvis. In fact, many cervical spine patients do not have problems with the cervical spine, but more with the soft tissues. I have spoken to some people about this, but it seems difficult to change some people’s views on cervical spondylosis. Practice and time will tell, and I’m sure there will be better ways to treat “cervical spondylosis” in the future. At least, for now, I think “whiplash” is curable.
