What are the causes of cervical spondylosis?

  In the hot summer, most students on summer vacation choose to watch TV, read books and play all kinds of electronic products at home, but over time, some people feel chest tightness, panic, nausea, vomiting, some even show anxiety, depression, check the electrocardiogram, internal indicators are not abnormal, but finally found to be cervical spine problems. I don’t know, cervical spondylosis is not only manifested as shoulder and neck discomfort, but also “travels” throughout the body.  High school candidates are often depressed, thought to be “depressed” Xiao Ling (a pseudonym) is a high school candidate this year, after the results of the college entrance examination, feel not particularly ideal, sulking all day, nestled at home day and night to watch TV, the Internet. Her parents hoped she could relieve her depression, so they didn’t pay special attention to her. But half a month later, her symptoms became more serious, she did not talk all day, and she also had nausea and vomiting. The family thought it was a “thought problem” and asked around where to see a better depression, but the result was a lot of medicine, but the situation did not improve.  Xiaoling’s grandfather suffers from lumbar disc herniation and is an old patient of the hospital. He inadvertently told the director of the orthopedic department, Hang Boa, who often treats him, about his granddaughter’s condition, and Hang suggested that Xiao Ling come over for a look. After an examination at the hospital, it was found that she turned out to have a subluxation of the atlantoaxial joint, and after a manual reset, her symptoms were quickly relieved.  Among the students suffering from cervical spondylosis accounted for thirty to forty percent, and the performance of cervical spondylosis is not only stiff neck and shoulder pain, but also other symptoms such as numbness of the limbs, loss of vision, dizziness and headache, chest tightness and panic.  The throat discomfort is actually caused by cervical spondylosis The usual neck soreness and shoulder pain are only one kind of cervical spondylosis, but the breakdown also includes cervical, nerve root, vertebral artery, sympathetic and spinal cord. Among them, the symptoms of sympathetic cervical spondylosis are particularly “diverse” and therefore easily misdiagnosed.  For example, throat discomfort, “a foreign body feeling in the throat, always feel like there is phlegm stuck in the throat, as a chronic pharyngitis treatment does not improve,” Director Hang Boa explained, after the patient treated cervical spondylosis, the throat symptoms disappeared. This is because misalignment or subluxation of cervical joints compressing nerves can cause pharyngeal malfunction. In addition, cervical spondylosis may also cause multiple symptoms such as headache, vertigo, visual and hearing impairment, hand numbness, and heart rate disorders. “The key is to treat it as early as possible, and such diseases can usually be relieved through acupuncture and chiropractic manipulation.” Director Hang stressed that of course not all chest tightness, heartburn and vomiting are caused by cervical spondylosis, and patients should still consider whether they have cervical spondylosis after first ruling out substantial medical problems.  Spine care has the know-how 1, choose the right pillow. The pillow should have appropriate elasticity or plasticity, not too hard. At the same time sleep and try to choose a hard bed.  2, tables and chairs to adjust to the right position. Many people need to work for a long time, a long time will feel the muscles of the neck hold. At this time, the height of the chair can be adjusted down, or even a small bench to replace the chair. At the same time, after a period of ambulatory work can be temporarily away from the seat, the activity of the head and neck.  3, be careful of the wind behind the neck. Sometimes work behind the seat to the air conditioner or window, from time to time there is a cold wind blowing to the back of the neck, such a situation must be avoided. Because the cold wind will cause vasoconstriction in the back of the neck, resulting in the region’s muscles, ligaments and other soft tissue blood supply disorders, thus affecting the stability of the cervical spine.  Also need to remind, many people sometimes lean on the sofa or bed to watch TV, too tired to fall asleep, which is a major injury to the cervical spine.
