What to do about severe spinal cervical spondylosis

Spinal cervical spondylosis is serious and is usually best treated through surgery. The details are as follows: The main cause of spondylotic cervical spondylosis is due to the degeneration of the intervertebral connecting structure of the cervical vertebrae caused by various factors, such as herniated intervertebral discs, ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, hypertrophy or calcification of the ligamentum flavum, etc., which leads to the spinal cord compression as well as ischemia of the spinal cord, and the spinal cord dysfunction occurs. The upper limbs of the spinal cord are usually characterized by clumsiness and weakness of the hands, making it difficult to perform fine movements. As the disease progresses, atrophy of the intrinsic muscles of the hands may occur, leading to a decrease in the muscle strength of the other upper limbs. Hoffman’s sign is mostly positive in patients with spinal cord cervical spondylosis. A small number of patients with high spinal cord lesions may show upper motor neuron damage such as increased muscle tone and hyperreflexia. The lower limbs show different degrees of increased muscle tone or muscle weakness, knee reflexes and Achilles tendon reflexes, etc. Babinski’s sign is mostly positive. Spinal cord cervical spondylosis, reversal may be very small, it is difficult to release the compression of the spinal cord without surgery, if there is no contraindication to surgery, early surgical treatment.
