Cervical spondylosis, also known as cervical spine syndrome, is a general term for cervical osteoarthritis, proliferative cervicitis, cervical nerve root syndrome and cervical disc prolapse, and is a disorder based on degenerative pathological changes. It is a clinical syndrome with a series of dysfunctions mainly due to long-term cervical spine strain, osteophytes, or disc prolapse and ligament thickening, resulting in compression of the cervical spinal cord, nerve roots or vertebral artery. It is a syndrome of cervical disc degeneration itself and a series of secondary pathological changes, such as destabilization and loosening of the vertebral joints, herniated or prolapsed nucleus pulposus, bone spur formation, ligamentous hypertrophy and secondary spinal stenosis, which stimulate or compress the adjacent nerve roots, spinal cord, vertebral artery and cervical sympathetic nerve, and cause a variety of symptoms and signs. This disease belongs to the category of “paralysis” in Chinese medicine. The clinical evidence is mainly divided into two types: liver and kidney deficiency and wind-cold and damp paralysis. The cervical spine is located between the head, chest and upper limbs, and is the smallest of the spinal vertebrae, but the most flexible, most frequently active and heavily loaded segment. After about 30 years of age, the cervical intervertebral discs begin to gradually degenerate and decrease in water content, which becomes more pronounced with age and induces or contributes to tissue degeneration in other parts of the cervical spine. From a biomechanical point of view, the 5th-6th and 6th-7th cervical vertebrae are under the most stress, and therefore, the occurrence of cervical spondylosis is more common in these segments. Statistics show that about 25% of people around 50 years old have suffered or are suffering from this disease, around 60 years old is 50%, and around 70 years old is almost 100%, which shows that this disease is a common and frequent disease of middle and old people.
