Cervical spine pain: There are two types of pain: injurious and degenerative. A recent survey of 2,000 patients with cervical spondylosis found that adolescent patients accounted for 12% of the patients, with most of the age group concentrated in the 12-13 and 16-18 age groups. At present, with the accelerated pace of life and the popularity of computers, spine and other bone and joint diseases and soft tissue injury diseases are becoming younger and younger. Analysis of the reasons: these students due to academic tension, long time ambulatory reading and writing, coupled with incorrect reading posture, cervical spine deformation for a long time, the accumulation of months led to neck and shoulder muscle strain, and eventually teenagers suffer from geriatric disease. That is, we commonly see some people say “neck pain”, accompanied by soreness, swelling, weakness, sometimes radiating to the back of the shoulder and chest pain, what is the cause of this? As we know, the cervical spine mainly bears the movement of the human head, and there are also a large number of peripheral nerves, blood vessels and spinal cord passing through this part to play the role of uploading and transmitting. As people grow older, the cervical spine bony joints continue to degenerate, hyperplasia and narrowing of the vertebral space, making the original crowded cervical spine “channel” formed as a result of incomplete obstruction. This can lead to vascular discomfort, nerve and spinal cord compression. In particular, when peripheral nerve roots are compressed, symptoms of pain in the occiput, shoulders, back and upper extremities may occur. If the cervical spinal cord and blood vessels are compressed, dizziness, tinnitus, blurred vision, poor memory, unresponsiveness, chest tightness, breathlessness, panic, weakness in the lower extremities and unstable walking may occur. How to diagnose and treat these diseases? If the above symptoms are mild, you can choose rest, physical therapy, massage, acupuncture and traction to completely restore normal. If the symptoms are more severe, you should go to a pain specialist for a serious examination, especially cervical MRI scan is the safest and easiest way to diagnose whether the cervical spine neurovascular and spinal cord are compressed. Treatment? If the patient’s symptoms are severe and the MRI shows bony spinal stenosis in the cervical spine, you should not hesitate to choose an orthopedic surgeon for open surgery. If the patient has severe symptoms but the MRI scan does not show significant bony spinal stenosis, a minimally invasive approach may be considered. There are many minimally invasive methods, including discoscopy, laser, ozone, radiofrequency, pneumatization, spinotomy, and various drug injections, among others. Either way, the goal is to reduce the pressure within the disc and reduce the compression of the disc on the nerves, blood vessels and spinal cord, thereby improving the patient’s symptoms described above. It is important to note that minimally invasive treatment is not a foolproof technique, but is only effective if the patient’s herniated or bulging annulus fibrosus has a certain degree of elasticity. If the patient’s protrusion is free in the spinal canal, it is not suitable for the above treatment. Patients with longer protrusions are considered for surgical treatment, while patients with shorter protrusions can be treated very effectively with collagenase lysis. This requires a more scientific analysis of the patient’s symptoms and MRI to determine which treatment method is more effective. Minimally invasive technology is a very safe and effective way to treat cervical spondylosis without causing negligent injury or serious adverse effects to the patient.
