Cervical spondylosis prevention and treatment four misconceptions With the rapid development of society nowadays, the incidence of cervical spondylosis is getting higher and higher, but ordinary people’s knowledge of cervical spondylosis is still quite limited, and there are some misconceptions: misconception one: small diseases are treated. A few atypical patients are easily confused with osteoarthrosis, gastric disease, neurological syndrome, menopausal syndrome and coronary heart disease and hypertension, which can be dangerous if treated blindly, so patients must choose a regular hospital for consultation to avoid adverse consequences. Some patients, especially some mild or early patients lack the appropriate knowledge of cervical spondylosis, eager to seek medical treatment, want to quickly cure, think that more drugs, with good drugs can be effective, Chinese medicine, Western medicine, a variety of drugs used together, massage, drug external, acupuncture also used together, “small disease big treatment”, overkill. The effect is often counterproductive. For example, patients with spinal cord cervical spondylosis should need surgery due to the severity of the disease, but some patients think about the difficulty and risk of surgery, as well as the possible sequelae after surgery, so many patients will know the difficulty and back out. Remember! The spinal cord does not have the ability to regenerate! Spinal cord cervical spondylosis is the main type of cervical spondylosis that requires clinical intervention by a physician. If patients with spinal cord cervical spondylosis still use non-surgical methods, not only will they not be able to play a therapeutic role, but they will make their condition worse. The best time for treatment will be missed. Myth 3: Elimination of bone spurs During the course of cervical spondylosis, disc degeneration leads to loss of stability of the cervical spine, which causes other symptoms, and the body increases the contact area between the vertebrae through vertebral osteophytes to achieve stable compensation. However, if the intervertebral disc only metamorphoses but does not proliferate, the cervical joints of many patients would have worn down very badly. From this point of view, the presence of bone spurs is a form of protection for the organism. This is the reason why doctors prefer conservative treatment for cervical spondylosis patients. Nowadays, there is no scientific basis for the frauds in the society who claim that the bone spurs can be eliminated by oral or external application of a certain medicine. Misconception 4: Do not pay attention to prevention Cervical spondylosis is in many cases due to bad habits, and it is not difficult to prevent. It is now medically proven that the causes of cervical spondylosis are: environment, history of smoking, history of acute and chronic pharyngeal infections, and continuous low head work for more than 4 hours a day on average. We should bring forward the age of protection for the cervical spine, and adolescents and the middle-aged population should avoid the triggers of the disease. Do your best to protect your cervical spine and improve the amount of life.
