There are several types of cervical spondylosis

BY Iris Wheatley 2020-06-21

  The so-called cervical spondylosis is a complex symptom that occurs due to changes in the physiological curvature of the cervical spine, degeneration of intervertebral discs, joints, and other tissues, which stimulates or compresses the sympathetic nerves of the cervical nerve root, spinal cord, vertebral artery, and neck. The syndrome is called "cervical syndrome".

   Since 1948, the name "cervical spondylosis" has been adopted internationally. One of the reasons is that modern people often work at their desks for a long time, but their posture is not correct, which causes the cervical spine muscles to often "fear" - tightly collapse the muscles and increase the load on the cervical intervertebral cartilage.

  Different symptoms of cervical spine can be divided into 5 types:

   1. Neck type: It is characterized by stiff neck, uncomfortable, pain, and inflexible movement. It is also the most common type.

   2. Nerve root type: The patient''s hands feel uncomfortable, numb and painful, the grip strength is weakened, and sometimes he feels weak even when holding a cup. If the condition is serious, the pain is difficult to fall asleep all night.

   3. Vertebral artery type: The symptoms of the patient are migraine, dizziness, or chest tightness and chest pain on one side. At the same time, each episode is related to the rotation of the neck.

   4. Spinal cord type: The main symptoms are: the patient''s feet or hands are weak, and he staggers when walking, that is, dragging. At the same time, you can''t lift your feet, you can fall easily, and your body feels like you are tied up. In this type of patient, it is not easy to find the disease in the early stage, unless there is severe pain in the neck and arm, then go to the doctor.

  5. Sympathetic type: The patient has facial features such as eye pain, fear of light, tinnitus, and foreign body sensation in the larynx. In addition, migraine, burning face, cold hands and feet, sweating, or sweating on half of the body.

  No matter what type of cervical spondylosis, the principle is the same. After the neck is exposed to wind and cold, the tension of the muscles on both sides of the cervical vertebral body will change. If it is not improved for a long time, hyperplasia, The stenosis will come out. For example, the vertebral body is like a crooked telephone pole, it is strange that people are not uncomfortable!
