A common orthopedic condition that can trigger symptoms of chills in the extremities is cervical spine disease. It can be a chronic cervical disc herniation or cervical spondylosis, one being a herniated lesion of the cervical disc and the other being an osteophytic lesion of the cervical spine. Both types of lesions have the potential to compress the nerves, blood vessels and even the spinal cord of the cervical spine. Once the spinal cord of the cervical spine is compressed by the surrounding skeletal structures, it will lead to many abnormal sensory symptoms in the body. For example, abnormal sweating in the head and extremities, abnormal sensations in the extremities and abnormal movement symptoms, which include the feeling of cold extremities. If it is determined that there is no significant impairment of blood circulation in the extremities, an ancillary cervical spine examination can be performed, which will reveal the relevant disease.
