Can cervicogenic hypertension be cured?

There is no clinical term for cervicogenic hypertension, which is considered to be elevated blood pressure due to cervical spondylosis and usually has some chance of being cured. For the elevated blood pressure caused by cervical spondylosis, it is classified as secondary hypertension. Although cervical spondylosis and hypertension are susceptible to recurrence due to a variety of factors, some patients have a certain chance of being cured by active treatment, which can control the progression of the disease, alleviate uncomfortable symptoms, and improve the quality of life. Usually, patients with elevated blood pressure due to cervical spondylosis can be treated with muscle relaxants such as etoperisone and chlorzoxazone, nutritive drugs such as vitamin B and methylcobalamin, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors such as captopril and benazepril as prescribed by the doctor. Physiotherapy, traction therapy, and surgery such as anterior cervical spine surgery and posterior cervical spine surgery can also be performed if necessary. It is recommended that people with elevated blood pressure due to cervical spondylosis should adjust their mentality and take treatment measures according to the doctor’s instructions, and should not use drugs indiscriminately on their own. Pay attention to the daily activities of the neck and avoid keeping improper posture for a long time.
