Cervical spondylosis is a common degenerative disease of cervical intervertebral disc in middle-aged and elderly people, with a high incidence of 40~60 years old. A series of symptoms caused by cervical hyperosteogeny, neck trauma strain or congenital bone dysplasia, such as imbalance of internal and external tissue structure of the spine, stimulation or compression of blood vessels, nerves and spinal cord in the neck.

Why do you get cervical spondylosis?

The total prevalence rate increases with age, and women are higher than men. Long-term bow, repeated slight neck sprain and contusion, fatigue, poor sleeping posture, too high or too low pillow, poor posture in working life, inappropriate desk height, long-term wet and cold environment, heavy shoulders, gravity work or violent sports collision in some special positions, feeling cold, endocrine disorder complicated with autonomic nervous dysfunction, aggravated spinal instability, dislocation of cervical facet joints, etc. may all lead to cervical spondylosis.

How to recuperate cervical spondylosis?

First of all, we should prevent the neck from catching cold, avoid blowing cold air directly for a long time, and pay attention to keeping warm. Choosing a suitable pillow can support the physiological curve of the cervical spine, keep the cervical spine straight and avoid the compression of the cervical spine. Pay attention to rest and avoid staying up late for a long time. Pay attention to protect yourself at ordinary times to avoid neck injury. In case of acute attack, the cervical spine should be reduced in activity, especially to avoid turning around quickly, and neck brace should be used for protection if necessary. Keep the correct posture, keep your neck upright when working at your desk, lean forward slightly, do not twist or tilt, and avoid bending your head for too long. If you work more than 1 hour, you should take a break for a few minutes and do some neck exercises or massage.

The incidence of cervical spondylosis in China is increasing year by year. Statistics show that the number of people suffering from cervical spondylosis in China is about 7%- 10%, of which the incidence rate of people aged 50-60 is about 20%-30%, and the incidence rate of people aged 60-70 is almost 50%.

From the above data, we can see that:

First, because the occurrence of cervical spondylosis is caused by the aging of intervertebral discs with the increase of age, the number of patients with cervical spondylosis in China is increasing, which is inseparable from the aging of our population;

Second, young people's long-term work at their desks, extensive use of electronic products, driving, sleeping on high pillows and many other factors lead to long-term fatigue of neck muscles, which accelerates the occurrence of cervical spondylosis.

The above seems too professional. If you don't understand it, it doesn't exist.

Simply put, cervical spondylosis is the degeneration and hyperplasia of cervical vertebra, and at the same time, the lesion compresses the blood vessels, nerves and spinal cord around the cervical vertebra, which leads to a lot of symptoms in our human body. Therefore, cervical spondylosis is a kind of symptom.

So how to treat cervical spondylosis? The treatment of cervical spondylosis also includes surgical treatment and non-surgical treatment. Among them, non-surgical treatment is the main method.

Non-surgical treatment, a non-surgical treatment method, can write a book (too many).

Drugs Many cervical spondylosis are sudden onset and the pain is unbearable. At this time, it is necessary to apply analgesic drugs such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; Some patients with cervical spondylosis may be accompanied by dizziness. At this time, drugs that dilate cerebral vessels, nourish nerves and increase cerebral blood flow can be selected. In addition, simply taking drugs that dilate blood vessels and improve microcirculation is also effective for some cervical spondylosis.

The oral western medicine mentioned above is also an oral medicine. Chinese medicine is naturally indispensable, and Chinese medicine decoction also has a unique effect on the treatment of cervical spondylosis.

After oral administration, there will naturally be external use. Topical drugs may be the most popular among the general public, but here is a reminder. If you have a history of allergic reaction to external drugs, you must tell your doctor when you see a doctor, and at the same time avoid using such drugs again.

Physical therapy: Acupuncture, massage, physical therapy and other methods are used to relieve the symptoms of cervical spondylosis. Therefore, there are massage shops at the entrance of many communities, but you must choose a qualified clinic to see a doctor. Blind massage may cause accidents. Massage is effective for cervical and nerve root cervical spondylosis, but the clinical treatment effect for cervical spondylotic myelopathy is generally not good, and may even lead to aggravation.

Family physiotherapy can use hot towels, hot water bottles, etc. Hot compress cervical vertebra at home. You can also buy a small infrared radiation lamp in a drugstore and treat it at home. These methods are simple and convenient, and sometimes they work well.

In fact, I think this method should be the best treatment. Exercise can not only strengthen the body, but also treat cervical spondylosis. Common sports methods include badminton, flying kites and other actions that often raise your head.

Non-surgical treatment of cervical spondylosis includes cervical traction, small needle knife, closed treatment and so on, so I won't list them here.

To sum up in a simple sentence, please see a doctor first when you encounter cervical spondylosis. All the methods mentioned above should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.

The purpose of surgical treatment is to relieve nerve compression, restore the stability of cervical spine, obtain normal physiological curvature, spinal canal capacity and shape, and preserve the function of spinal cord as much as possible.

Regarding whether cervical spondylosis needs surgery, each doctor may have different scales, which are generally considered as:

In fact, to sum up briefly, if non-surgical treatment is ineffective, then surgical treatment. Surgical treatment is the last choice.

There are many methods to treat cervical spondylosis, but all methods should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.

I believe that a large number of people have experienced neck discomfort, especially the student party and office workers. This is because some bad living habits and working habits, as well as bad sleeping posture, will cause cervical strain and accelerate cervical degeneration. For example, I often look down at my mobile phone, study and work, and look down at my computer. At first glance, it is a few hours without moving until the neck is uncomfortable. Over time, it will lead to disc herniation, ossification of ligaments, and compression of nerves to cause cervical spondylosis.

When your neck often feels uncomfortable, you must go to the hospital for examination in time. Don't put it off, not only cervical spondylosis, but also other diseases. If you put it off, it will only get worse. I was treated in time, and I was lucky. The patch I used played a great role. Plus, I corrected all those bad habits myself and insisted on exercising my neck muscles. I haven't had a relapse since I recovered. I think it is too important to choose something suitable for me during the treatment. I really spent a lot of money to get to the hospital because I had amitriptyline disease. Finally, I will share with you some daily precautions for cervical spondylosis!

1. Don't sleep on your stomach, and the pillow should not be too high, too hard or too flat.

2. Avoid and reduce acute injuries, such as avoiding lifting heavy objects and not braking urgently.

3. Protect against cold and moisture, and avoid taking a bath or catching cold in the middle of the night or early morning. Wind-cold constricts local blood vessels, reduces blood flow, hinders tissue generation and waste removal, and moisture hinders skin evaporation.

4. Actively treat diseases such as local infection.

5. Correct bad posture, reduce strain, and do neck exercise every 1 to 2 hours to reduce muscle tension.

Cervical spondylosis is a degenerative disease of human body. Cervical joint is very flexible, and it is also the most used joint in human body. But life is different now. In the past, people mainly worked in the fields all day, sat and studied for less time, and used cervical joints less frequently, except housewives who mainly used embroidery needles and threads. Modern society is very convenient in all aspects. Most workers work in a sitting position, with heavy workload, long time and serious cervical involvement. But there is no doubt that we can't change the employment environment, we can only adapt to it. How to adjust this kind of cervical discomfort is discussed below.

First of all, the cervical spine is a movable joint, and activities will wear out. Just like a machine, it ages every year and needs regular maintenance. So this is to check how the cervical spine is damaged first. If there is no obvious pain in the cervical spine, just daily health care is enough. Students and work families have more homework and work every day, and many people often feel headaches, which has become a medical cervicogenic headache. Long-term headache will affect learning efficiency. Many people choose traction, which can be relieved in a short time, but it is easy to get sick. On the one hand, learning can improve efficiency, on the other hand, they should have a rest in the middle of study. They can rest 15 minutes every hour, kick shuttlecock and play ball games to relax their mood and let their intense study and work rest. In daily life, we can learn some health massage. Pressing Dazhui will relieve the tension of neck muscles, and cupping is also a way to relieve muscle and blood vessel tension. Massage, acupuncture and cupping can all be health care methods for enrollment and study. We can also hold the back of our head with our hands and practice for 20 seconds every day. After several exercises, the cervical spine can be comfortable. When lying flat, the cervical spine is not stressed, which is a kind of protection for the cervical spine.

None of the patients with cervical spondylosis is innocent. Cervical spondylosis is different from other diseases, and there is no so-called sudden disease. The vast majority of patients are caused by long-term persistent bad posture and habits, and the bone changes caused by age are also related to some extent, but the proportion of the causes is not high.

Don't think that you won't get cervical spondylosis without symptoms! Cervical spondylosis is the most common disease in modern society. Most people suffer from different degrees of neck diseases, but due to different degrees, the clinical response is also different.

You can try it with me now: close your eyes, relax all over, slowly tilt your head back, and then turn your head to the left and right after you finish. If you feel stiff and sore, it proves that you have a certain degree of neck disease, so you need to be alert to the coming of cervical spondylosis.

What is the cause of cervical spondylosis? Cervical spondylosis itself is a pathological change of cervical spine, so there are many influencing factors.

1, aging: this is an unchangeable cause. Our physical functions will deteriorate with age. If two people have the same experience, the older they are, the more serious cervical spondylosis will be.

2. Spinal stenosis: No two people are exactly the same. Some patients may be underdeveloped due to malnutrition and the environment when they were young, leading to their congenital spinal stenosis. They may not have too many abnormalities when they are young, but as they get older, they are more likely to have abnormal symptoms and signs than ordinary people.

3. Traumatic accidents: Nothing is unchangeable, and external injuries are unpredictable. Clinically, some patients with cervical spine fracture and dislocation caused by car accident impact and sports injury are often contacted. They may be young, or they may be used to it at ordinary times, but it is because of this sudden accident that the cervical spine has become diseased.

4, chronic strain: This refers to weekdays, daily activities and rest posture, people who often bow their heads to play with their mobile phones and face the computer (not often moving their necks) are more likely to suffer from cervical spondylosis.

Does everyone want to ask: Can cervical spondylosis be cured? As I said above, cervical spondylosis is the general term of a system. Is it too one-sided to directly say that all cervical spondylosis can be cured?

Cervical spondylosis is a degenerative disease. There are many clinical types, each of which has its own unique treatment scheme, and the treatment difficulty may vary greatly. Some may recover naturally even if no treatment measures are taken, and some may not recover completely even if the most correct and reasonable treatment measures are taken, and may even leave some obstacles.

Some people like to blindly recommend sports, and even tell everyone that they can recover as long as they insist on a certain action for a long time. They may not have any bad ideas, but in fact they may have really hurt others unintentionally. Stretching does have a certain position in the rehabilitation treatment of cervical spondylosis, but it is not suitable for all patients with cervical spondylosis, such as some elderly patients with cervical spondylosis. Their bodies cannot compare with those of young people. If they exercise and stretch hard, it is likely to be counterproductive. In addition, there are some patients who compress nerves or spinal cord. The former is more complicated and needs to be considered according to the location or degree of oppression, otherwise it may cause other diseases if it is delayed for too long. The latter needs immediate surgery, otherwise it may be a lifelong disaster.

How to recuperate? In fact, when I saw the word "conditioned reflex", I already exposed the questioner's thoughts.

The patient should have been diagnosed with cervical spondylosis and then want to improve his condition through conservative methods, then we will consider it according to the type of cervical spondylosis suitable for conservative treatment.

Conservative treatment should be based on traction and bonesetting, supplemented by reasonable exercise. If the patient's pain is unbearable, he can take appropriate medicine to relieve the pain, and usually exercise the cervical vertebra more, and don't keep a posture for a long time. When choosing outdoor sports at ordinary times, try to avoid intense antagonistic sports and choose some soothing and stretching sports. I recommend swimming.

In addition, we should pay special attention to keep warm. Keeping the neck warm is the key that many people easily overlook. Long-term cold in the neck will aggravate neck diseases and affect the recovery speed of patients.

PS: Whether cervical spondylosis can be cured depends on the specific situation of the patient. Don't blindly listen to other people's promises. The severity varies greatly. Conservatism is indeed the first choice, but if it is impossible, we should also consider surgery in time.

No treatment is absolutely correct, only the one that suits your condition is the best!

Hello, I'm glad to answer your question. Cervical spondylosis has become a major culprit endangering people's health. Not only adults but also children have different degrees of cervical spondylosis, and the incidence rate is getting higher and higher. Today, I will talk to you about the causes of cervical spondylosis and the methods of conditioning.

First, talk about the causes of cervical spondylosis.

With the popularization of high-tech products, the usage of mobile phones and computers has risen sharply. Both life and work are inseparable from mobile phones. Working with head down for a long time will inevitably lead to neck soft tissue strain, pain and numbness.

Some people even give their children mobile phones for the convenience of taking care of them. In life, I often see one or two-year-old children playing mobile phones and brushing Tik Tok. In fact, children's organs are very fragile and are constantly improving and developing. If they don't pay attention, their cervical vertebrae will soon have problems.

Some people are habitually half-lying, which makes the cervical spine more stressed. Some people sleep with extra high pillows. The consequence of long-term accumulation is that the cervical spine has been in a state of tension and traction, forming various cervical spondylosis.

Let's talk about the conditioning methods and precautions of cervical spondylosis.

First, pay attention to posture, avoid a posture for a long time, lower your head less, play less mobile phones, play less games, and sit up straight. If you use a computer, you can raise the computer slightly above the line of sight.

Second, avoid lying half-lying, and don't always lean on the sofa or bedside.

Third, choose the pillow that suits you. After all, you spend almost one-third of your life in sleep.

Fourth, if there is cervical spondylosis, it must be adjusted in time, such as acupuncture conditioning, massage physiotherapy, scraping and so on. Before serious problems occur in the cervical spine, the sooner you recuperate, the better your recovery will be.

That's a good question Why? Let's have a look. When a person is in an upright posture, the cervical vertebra is a bridge connecting the body and the brain, and the weight of the head is transmitted downwards through the cervical vertebra. Moreover, cervical spondylosis is the disease name of western medicine, and Chinese medicine has not had this disease name so far. Only the symptoms of cervical spondylosis are classified as headache, dizziness and joint pain, while Chinese medicine believes that this disease is mostly related to liver and kidney deficiency, meridian dystrophy, long-term strain and wind-cold-dampness invasion. Western medicine, on the other hand, starts from the local cervical vertebra, where hyperosteogeny stimulates or oppresses local nerves, blood vessels, muscles and ligaments. , produce a series of symptom syndrome, also known as cervical spondylosis. Western medicine divides cervical vertebra into six types, namely cervical vertebra type, lightest type, sympathetic type, vertebral artery type, nerve root type, spinal cord type, heaviest type and mixed type.

Nowadays, due to the popularity of mobile phones and computers and the promotion of electronic products, we have bowed our heads for a long time, bad living habits, neck cold fatigue, improper use of pillows, or not using pillows, and so on. , leading to increasing cervical pressure, inducing cervical spondylosis, getting younger and younger! This further reminds us to pay attention to protection.

Avoid fatigue at ordinary times, especially playing with your head down. Don't work at your desk for too long. In general, you need to rest for 45 minutes at most. Keep your neck warm to prevent colds. At the same time, choose the right pillow. It is suggested that you make a fist as the height of the pillow, and at the same time it should be soft and moderate. Changing what you can change can effectively prevent cervical spondylosis. Others, such as the growth of age, bone hyperplasia is inevitable!

Cervical spondylosis is caused by sitting and working in a posture for a long time, such as driving, using the computer, playing mahjong, staying up late, not getting enough sleep for a long time, or sleeping with a pillow too high. If you don't exercise seriously, it will be better to improve your sleep pillow, but if it is serious, you still need treatment, but I don't recommend surgery. Because there are too many nerves in people's neck, cervical spondylosis may be relieved if it is injured by surgery, but it will leave many sequelae. This is called good or bad.

At present, it is believed that the etiology of cervical spondylosis is related to degeneration, injury, strain, congenital developmental stenosis, inflammation and congenital developmental malformation of cervical spinal canal.

Common causes In fact, I think the most common causes of cervical spondylosis are degeneration and strain. With the growth of age, the human body can't stay young forever. The human body will gradually age like a machine and eventually lose its function. This can be said to be a natural law. Humans can't escape this law. Therefore, with the aging of the human body, cervical intervertebral discs, vertebral bodies, ligaments, joint capsules between vertebral bodies, and muscles around the cervical spine will age. In particular, cervical intervertebral disc is the most prone to degeneration. Therefore, people are prone to cervical spondylosis when they are old.

Younger but in recent years, you will find that the onset age of cervical spondylosis tends to be younger. I think it has something to do with the bad habits of young people now, such as playing computer and mobile phone for a long time, watching TV for a long time, playing mahjong with his head down for a long time, lying in bed with his head high and sleeping with his head high for a long time, and so on.

How should it be adjusted? I think we need to do the following.

1, cultivate good living habits. Avoid cervical fatigue.

2. Learn to combine work and rest, especially when you are working at your desk. Take a break after working for about 45 minutes.

3. Avoid injuries and neck colds. If in doubt, you should actively seek medical advice.

4. Pay attention to the physical exercise of the neck, increase the stability of the neck and avoid strenuous exercise.

5, try not to massage, if you must do it, you must go to a regular hospital.

Because you don't even realize that you have cervical spondylosis, you develop a certain degree of discomfort. In the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, you found something abnormal in the cervical spine from the film, and then you found the problem. This is not a case of soft bones in babies and children. You are an adult, and everything has been finalized. You can know the difficulty and time of treatment and correction. Orthopedic traction is also ineffective. If you are very old and don't seriously hinder your life, you should not be forced to treat again to avoid injury.
