Definition of cervical spondylosis: Various conditions caused by cervical spondylolisthesis or (and) soft tissue lesions inside and outside the cervical spinal canal are called cervical spondylosis. Cervical spondylosis is a syndrome, and the content of the syndrome varies greatly due to the different tissues and locations of the lesions. Therefore, the symptoms of cervical spondylosis are diverse, which makes the diagnosis difficult and many patients with cervical spondylosis are not effectively treated for a long time due to misdiagnosis. The symptoms of cervical spondylosis are very complex, and some experts have called it a thousand forms of cervical spondylosis, with the milder ones showing neck pain and the heavier ones paralysis, and the symptoms of different types of cervical spondylosis are different. Cervical spondylosis is divided into: neurogenic type (30%), spinal cord type (8%-10%), vertebral artery type (8%-10%), soft tissue type (also called cervical type, accounting for about 40%), sympathetic type (8%), and other types (4%). It is common to have a mixture of more than two types clinically, which is then classified and typed according to the main lesion. Causes of cervical spondylosis: The cervical spine is between the head, which is frequently active and heavily weighted, and the thoracic spine, which is relatively stable due to the lack of activity and weight bearing, and is relatively weak anatomically, lacking other bony protection around it, and vulnerable to direct blows from external forces, especially the lower cervical spine and its surrounding soft tissues are prone to strain lesions. Common causes are: 1, strain: long-term head and neck in a single posture position, such as prolonged low head work, prone to cervical spondylosis. Cervical spine patients younger than 30 years old are mostly engaged in low-headed work. 2, head and neck trauma: 50% of spinal cord cervical spondylosis is related to neck trauma. Some patients with cervical spine osteophytes, cervical disc bulge, soft tissue lesions in the spinal canal, etc. make the cervical spinal canal in a narrow critical state, cervical trauma often triggers the symptoms. 3, bad posture: such as lying in bed watching TV, reading books, high pillow, sleeping in a sitting position; sleeping in the car, poor muscle protection when sleeping, braking is prone to neck injury. 4, chronic infection: mainly pharyngitis, followed by dental caries, periodontitis, otitis media, etc.. Inflammation in these areas stimulates the soft tissues of the neck or causes soft tissue lesions in the neck and occipital area through the rich lymphatic system. It is believed that chronic pharyngeal infection is an important pathogenetic factor of cervical spondylosis, which may be aggravated by the interaction with soft tissue chronic strain and inflammation. 5, wind, cold and wet factors: wind, cold and wet factors in the external environment can reduce the body’s tolerance to pain, which can cause muscle spasm, small blood vessel constriction, lymphatic reflux slowdown, soft tissue blood circulation disorders, followed by aseptic inflammation. Therefore, wind, cold and damp factors are not only causative factors, but also can be used as a cause to cause lesions to produce symptoms. 6, cervical spine structure dysplasia: congenital small spinal canal, cervical degeneration, etc. is the basis for the pathogenesis of some cervical spondylosis. Foreign statistics 25 percent of people aged 40-50 years with degeneration, and 85.5 percent of people aged 55 years or older with degeneration. The incidence of cervical spondylosis is one times higher than normal in people with narrow central spinal canal and nerve root canal of cervical spine. Related diseases caused by cervical spondylosis: 1. Cervical spondylosis is associated with various ophthalmological diseases and symptoms of the five senses, such as cervical spondylosis often has blurred vision, transient black blindness, and even cervical blindness, and cervical spondylosis treatment often leads to improvement of symptoms of allergic rhinitis and sinusitis. Cervical spondylosis is also associated with tinnitus and hearing loss. 2.Cervical spondylosis causes headache, vertigo, poor memory and slow reaction. 3.Cervical spondylosis causes panic, chest tightness, shortness of breath, erratic heart rate, atrial fibrillation, etc. 4.Cervical spondylosis has more than 90% of various symptoms of menopausal syndrome and plant nerve dysfunction. 5.Cervical spondylosis can cause chronic stomach pain and gastrointestinal dysfunction. 6.Cervical spondylosis is an important cause of unstable blood pressure, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and chronic diseases of the five senses. 7.Patients with cervical spondylosis also commonly suffer from mental tension, anxiety, insomnia, decreased energy, easy to lose temper and other psychiatric symptoms. 8, cervical spine problems also cause abnormalities in the body’s immune function, patients are commonly afraid of cold, easy to catch a cold, easy to get other immune diseases. There are more than 40 spine-related conditions, accounting for about 80% of all types of chronic diseases, which are easily misdiagnosed. Any “chronic disease” of unknown etiology, recurrent, or untreated, may be considered a spinal condition.
