“Fake” whiplash to pay attention to

  With the increasing number of “computer people” and “finger people”, the number of people suffering from frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis is also increasing, but many people are a little confused between the two diseases.  At the same time, cell phone people are stepping into the early stages of cervical spondylosis – the ranks of “cervical back syndrome”, be careful of “false cervical spondylosis”.  Severe cervical spondylosis requires surgery “frozen shoulder” or “cervical spondylosis” is a common orthopedic disease, what is the difference in symptoms? Cervical spondylosis is a disorder based on degenerative pathological changes in the cervical spine that cause neurological symptoms.  The obvious difference between cervical spondylosis and frozen shoulder is that cervical spondylosis causes neck and back pain and restriction of neck movement, which are often caused by the stimulation of spinal nerve compression, accompanied by numbness of fingers, coldness of limbs and abnormal skin sensation in the area of innervation of the compressed nerve, but no shoulder joint movement disorder, and in severe cases, a series of symptoms such as headache, nausea and vomiting, heartburn and chest tightness.  In contrast, the pain of frozen shoulder is mainly confined to the shoulder, and the pain is dull or knife-like pain, accompanied by inflexible shoulder joint supination, abduction and rotation movements. If you have any of these symptoms, you must treat them differently and go to the orthopedic department of a regular hospital first to confirm the diagnosis.  Du Shixin said that the treatment of frozen shoulder is mainly based on conservative treatment, while cervical spondylosis, if serious, will result in paralysis of the body below the neck, and the symptoms of spinal cord compression are constantly aggravated or suddenly intensified, which must be treated surgically, otherwise it will be more difficult to recover over time. Therefore, real cervical spondylosis must not be missed.  ”It is worth noting that there are some “fake cervical spondylosis” that can have adverse consequences when treated in accordance with cervical spondylosis. Nowadays, more and more young people, especially the “cell phone family” is stepping into the early stage of cervical spondylosis – “cervical back syndrome” ranks, especially young women are the majority. This type of patient accounts for almost half of Du’s daily outpatient visits.  The condition is mainly characterized by tightness of the neck and back of the shoulder, headache, dizziness and occasional numbness of the upper limbs, to a lesser extent. “This time can first not rush to do special treatment, such as cervical traction, will cause relaxation of cervical ligaments and intervertebral discs, but will instead prematurely appear real cervical spondylosis.”  If the symptoms can first pay attention to the following aspects of regulation: First, pay attention to proper rest to avoid sleep deprivation. Insufficient sleep, excessive work tension and long time to maintain a fixed posture, especially the head down for too long, will lead to excessive neuromuscular tension and induce cervical spondylosis; Second, active exercise, especially the back extension exercise of the neck and shoulder muscles, the correct cervical back extension exercise can strengthen muscle strength, strengthen the normal cervical physiological curvature, increase the stability of the biomechanical structure of the cervical spine, while promoting blood and lymphatic circulation, which is conducive to the recovery of early cervical spine subhealth state.
