Non-surgical treatment has the potential to reduce the symptoms of cervical spondylosis, improve it significantly, and even cure it, especially for early cases. Pre-operative and post-operative non-operative therapies are also the basis of surgical treatment. Due to the anatomy and physiological function of the cervical spine, any rough operation beyond the physiological limits of the mechanism is not only difficult to achieve the desired effect, but also prone to adverse consequences. For example, if the manipulation is too heavy or inappropriate, the patient can suddenly develop neurological symptoms, paralysis, or even immediate death. After understanding the anatomy of each case of cervical spondylosis, the most appropriate treatment method should be chosen to avoid accidents. For example, hope for traction therapy alone for spinal cord cervical spondylosis is certainly not very successful. Similarly, vertebral artery cervical spondylosis caused by significant hyperplasia of the hook vertebral joint is difficult to obtain miraculous results by a certain non-surgical treatment. Each treatment should be flexible according to the specific requirements and the condition. For example, for patients with cervical spondylosis with hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum, traction in the supine position is certainly ineffective; conversely, for a person with a huge bone spur in front of the cervical spinal canal, traction in the forward-flexed position of the head and neck is also difficult to achieve results. When the early response to certain therapies is large, explanation should be given to obtain the patient’s cooperation. Without the correct diagnosis, there is no correct treatment. Misdiagnosis of lateral spinal cord sclerosis and intravertebral tumor as cervical spondylosis and treatment will be ineffective. The presence of both cervical spondylosis and other more serious disorders makes it unresponsive to treatment and prone to accidents. Early surgical treatment should be sought for such cases because of the progression of the disease, especially the sudden aggravation of the disease due to compression of the blood vessels of the spinal cord. In some cases, the timing of surgery should not be delayed due to non-surgical treatment. For example, in severe spinal cord type, acute anterior central spinal cord syndrome, etc., non-surgical treatment can be used when actively preparing for surgery. However, it is important not to delay the timing of surgery by blindly and excessively non-operative treatment due to unclear judgment of the condition.
