Cervical spondylosis always develops suddenly at some point, and the onset is rapid and very painful, but it is not without signs, and there are still many signs to follow before the typical discomfort due to cervical spondylosis occurs in the formation of cervical spondylosis. If you can make early changes and prevention based on these signs, it is much easier to nip cervical spondylosis in the bud than to treat it. Generally speaking, people have the spine as the central axis, and the left and right sides are symmetrical, and the same should be true for the head and face. If you suffer from cervical spondylosis, the internal and external balance of the cervical spine is out of balance, the cervical spine joints are destabilized, and under the influence of gravity, the head and the upper cervical spine are easily tilted to one side, while the lower cervical spine, the upper thoracic spine and the back of the shoulder are tilted to the other side under the instinctive self-protection of the human body, and the human cervical spine can be seen to form a unique “S In the anterior-posterior position, the human cervical spine can be seen to form a unique “S” shape change. Head and face, brain nerves and blood vessels are stimulated or compressed, over time, the skin, muscles, joints on both sides of the head and face because of the difference between vasoconstriction and diastole, the natural supply of nutrients; joints, muscle movement is not coordinated, the amplitude of activity and the amount of movement is also different, the size of the muscle and muscle tone is also different, therefore, the face also lost this symmetry. 1, improper features: the features are the most basic evaluation of whether a person’s appearance is dignified, but suddenly one day when you look in the mirror found some subtle changes below, you should pay attention to, perhaps cervical spondylosis is not far from you, timely correction of some wrong habits and posture, prevention is not a good countermeasure. If you are a person who likes to take pictures, you can also roughly calculate the time when the early signs of cervical spondylosis are latent by comparing the pictures you have taken before. Around the eyes: different sizes of fissures in the left and right eyes; one single eyelid and one double eyelid; one swollen and one stretched blind eyelid; high eyebrows on one side and sagging on the other; few forehead lines on one side and more and sagging forehead lines on the other; unilateral appearance of longitudinal wrinkles between the eyebrows. Around the nose: the nasal bridge is vertically skewed, bilateral nostrils are not equal in size, the human middle groove is not straight, the nasolabial groove is deep on one side and shallow on the other, one side is long and the other is short. Up and down of the mouth: the corners of the mouth are high and low, or the corners of the mouth are skewed to one side, and the lower jaw is slightly skewed to one side. Inside and outside the ears: both ears are high on one side and low on the other; a stripe-like or nodular elevation, or even a dotted redness or marginal redness, can be palpated at the location corresponding to the cervical vertebrae at the lower end of the margin of the ear cavity of the opposite ear chakra, and there is obvious pressure pain when pressed with the fingers. Of course, facial asymmetry on both sides can also occur in the case of stroke aura and facial nerve palsy, but these diseases often have a sudden onset, and the sense of facial asymmetry is very significant and accompanied by symptoms of tetraplegia or facial nerve, while facial asymmetry due to cervical spondylosis has a very slow and insignificant onset, and facial asymmetry caused by habitual unilateral chewing is easier to identify. 2.Cranky neck: The neck has always been very straight, but suddenly one day the neck is crooked to one side and the face is turned to the other side; when wearing a necklace, the pendant above the necklace is biased to one side or the necklace is crooked to one side. Of course, for diseases such as spastic squint neck neck will be very significant, the muscles on both sides of the neck will have obvious swelling, and pediatric squint is not treated in time, this squint is always with you, rather than suddenly appear, but no matter what the cause of the squint, as long as there is a squint crooked neck, your cervical spine will not be good. 3, shrugging hunchback: both sides of the shoulders are not equal, obviously when one side up shrugging side down; back hook hunch and both sides of the spine are not equal, one side full and one side collapsed; when wearing clothes found a sleeve long and one sleeve short. Obvious hunchback is mostly seen in congenital heredity and the elderly due to osteoporosis, the same, no matter what kind of hunchback, its cervical spine will not be very good. 4, the back of the neck is afraid of cold: feel that the neck or back is particularly cold, there is a sense of tightness or even pulling stiffness. The back of the neck is the area where the Directing Vessel and the Bladder Meridian are circulating, and the Directing Vessel and the Bladder Meridian are the most concentrated parts of the body’s Yang Qi, so they are generally not afraid of cold and stiffness, so once the fear of cold and stiffness occurs, it means that there is obvious stasis and blockage of Qi and blood in the Directing Vessel or the Bladder Meridian, which is also the basic pathological change leading to cervical spondylosis. 5. Unfavorable activity: the head and neck and even the back of the shoulder are not as flexible as before, always feeling uncomfortable and sometimes having a vague pain. The normal head and neck activities are very flexible, if there is unfavorable activity, you should be careful, or cervical muscle strain, or osteophytes, or intervertebral disc degeneration. 6, finger opening angle: try to open both hands index, middle finger or thumb, index finger or thumb, little finger for comparison of opening angle, often open the angle of the smaller side of the cervical spine will have some potential problems, should cause special attention, which is due to cervical spondylosis compression of nerves resulting in finger opening weakness. Normal people exclude the right hand factor, the angle of opening on both sides should not differ much in size, if there is a more obvious difference, it is most likely that the nerves that govern the upper limbs are compressed in the neck. 7, often fallen pillow: the pillow and the surrounding sleep environment is very demanding, a little inattention is particularly easy to labor pillow, which is often caused by cervical instability cervical muscle strength is not enough, in general, the vast majority of people who often fallen pillow will develop cervical spondylosis. 8, neck popping: always feel that there is something inexplicably uncomfortable in the neck, turn the neck to make a “crunching” sound, then always consciously unconsciously to turn the neck, seems to have become an “addiction”, which is typical of cervical instability This is a typical cervical instability, because the cervical spine is unstable, often easy to misalignment, in the process of turning the neck may be self-repositioning, but because of cervical instability, cervical muscle weakness, it is easy to repeatedly “re-misalignment – reset again” phenomenon. 9, osteophytes: have not felt any special discomfort or pain in the cervical spine, but the physical examination photos found “cervical osteophytes, cervical degeneration, cervical curvature disappeared straight, narrowing of the intervertebral space, narrowing of the intervertebral foramen ……”, and so on, and so forth. Although there are no symptoms of cervical spondylosis, this degeneration is often a time bomb that warns us that we must pay enough attention to it, otherwise it will explode anytime and anywhere, but if we give our cervical spine enough care and attention, the time bomb of cervical spondylosis may not explode even for a lifetime.
