Cervical spondylosis is a condition in which cervical disc degeneration itself and its secondary changes stimulate and compress adjacent tissues and cause a variety of symptoms and signs. The etiology includes cervical degeneration, trauma, strain, cervical developmental spinal stenosis, inflammation and congenital malformation. The pathological changes can be divided into three stages, namely the disc degeneration stage, the bone spur formation stage, and the spinal cord damage stage. Clinical manifestations usually include neck pain, headache, dizziness, nausea, chest tightness, panic, radiating pain in the upper limbs, decreased muscle strength in the upper limbs, altered reflexes, and hyperalgesia. Cervical spondylosis can be divided into four types, namely neurogenic cervical spondylosis, spinal cord cervical spondylosis, vertebral artery cervical spondylosis, and sympathetic cervical spondylosis. Treatment methods include cervical spine traction therapy, cervical spine braking, external fixation of cervical brace, manual massage, massage, and surgical treatment. Surgical methods can be divided into anterior surgery, posterior surgery, and combined anterior and posterior surgery.
