At what point does cervical spondylosis necessitate surgery?

Cervical spondylosis usually requires surgical treatment after severe nerve and spinal cord compression occurs, conservative treatment has no obvious effect, and daily life is seriously affected. 1. In the early stage of cervical spondylosis, as the nerve root and spinal cord compression is not obvious, there are only mild neck pain, numbness of the upper limbs and other symptoms, conservative treatment can be taken to correct the bad posture, cervical spine traction, and oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as Celecoxib for pain relief, and so on. 2. In the late stage of cervical spondylosis, due to disc protrusion, the effective volume of the spinal canal is reduced more seriously, the spinal cord and nerves are obviously compressed, and severe pain, numbness, weakness and even incontinence, hemiplegia and other symptoms appear, and there is no obvious effect of conservative treatment, and cervical spondylosis has already seriously affected the daily work and life, so it is necessary to have a surgical treatment, such as anterior decompression and fusion of the cervical vertebrae. Neck pain, numbness of the upper limbs and other symptoms, if continued unrelieved, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner, improve the relevant examination, under the guidance of the doctor’s treatment.
