People generally think that cervical spondylosis is nothing more than neck and back pain. It is not known that the cervical vertebrae are attached to the skull and trunk, and the neurovascular distribution is intertwined and dense, and it is an important part of the human nerve center, or the path of cerebral blood circulation, and is an accident-prone area of the human body. Once the disease occurs, it will certainly affect the cardiovascular and central nervous system, resulting in various cervical diseases, which can be said to involve a hair and move the whole body. The most common symptoms of cervical spondylosis are neck and back pain, upper limb numbness, dizziness, etc. But clinically, we can also see some symptoms that seem to be “unrelated” to cervical spondylosis, such as certain cervicogenic diseases because of their special symptoms, which often lead to misdiagnosis and mistreatment by doctors. Cervicogenic hypertension is caused by a malfunction of the sympathetic nerves in the neck due to a malfunction of the blood supply to the vertebrobasilar artery, resulting in dysfunction and hypertension in addition to the general symptoms of cervical spondylosis. This condition is often treated as hypertension, but when the symptoms of cervical spondylosis are controlled, the blood pressure also decreases. Cervicogenic cerebrovascular disease According to statistics, 26% of cerebrovascular disease is induced by cervical spondylosis. This is due to the compression of the vertebrobasilar artery, which causes insufficient blood supply to the brain. If people maintain this state for a long time, they will experience dizziness, numbness of the hands and feet, unstable walking, and even cerebral thrombosis and cerebral infarction. Some patients may suffer from hemiplegia as a result. If cervical spondylosis is treated in time, it will not deteriorate into stroke and hemiplegia. Cervicogenic angina If you suffer from “angina” and general medication is not effective, you should think about whether it is due to cervical spondylosis. This is caused by damage to the cervical nerve roots that innervate the diaphragm and pericardium, or by stimulation of the sympathetic nerves of the heart. The patient may experience pain in the precordial region, which can be induced by pressing on the pressure area near the cervical spine. The symptoms can be aggravated when the head is in a specific position and posture, and reduced when the position is changed, and significant results can be received with cervical spondylosis treatment. Cervicogenic gastritis Due to the stimulation or injury of cervical sympathetic nerve, resulting in hyperfunction, through the cerebral cortex and thalamus reflexively cause gastrointestinal sympathetic nerve function excitement, excessive tension of the pyloric sphincter, diastolic weakness, so that the stomach and duodenum retrograde peristalsis, prompting bile reflux and damage to stimulate the gastric mucosa, thus causing acute or chronic inflammation of the stomach. Cervicogenic dysphagia This condition is due to rapid osteophyte growth of the lower cervical vertebrae and excessive bone redundancy, which compresses the esophagus immediately in front and causes esophageal stenosis due to inflammation and edema, and is easily misdiagnosed as esophageal disease in clinical practice. Thus, when patients often have headache, toothache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, erratic, insomnia, visual impairment, tinnitus and deafness, foreign body sensation in the throat, abnormal taste and smell and skin sensation, cardiac arrhythmia and other symptoms and the treatment is ineffective for a long time, you may want to check the cervical spine, do not “headache to cure the head, foot to cure the foot”, because the lesion is likely to be in the cervical spine. It is very likely that the lesion is in the cervical spine.
