What is the cause of coldness in the cervical spine?

Patients with cervical spondylosis are particularly afraid of cold, because overly cold air will aggravate their condition. They will feel the pain in their cervical spondylosis becoming more and more intense. Therefore, in winter, patients with cervical spondylosis will wrap their necks with thick scarves, which can effectively resist all cold wind. If a large amount of cold wind enters the body, the patient will feel paralyzed. So why is the cervical spondylosis afraid of cold?

1. Cervical spondylosis belongs to arthralgia. Bi syndrome is a disease caused by external evils such as wind, cold, dampness, heat, dryness and fire invading the body, blocking the meridians and causing poor circulation of Qi and blood. Exposure to wind and cold is one of the main triggering factors of cervical spondylosis. The neck is attacked by cold wind and the cold wind invades, which causes blood circulation in the neck, as the saying goes, "blockage causes pain." At the same time, the neck muscles will contract protectively after being stimulated by the cold to avoid excessive heat dissipation. This increases the tension of the neck muscles and causes an imbalance of force, which leads to narrowing of the cervical intervertebral space, compression of the spinal nerves and blood vessels, and increases the risk of cervical spondylosis. It is more likely to be induced when there are already degenerative diseases or other lesions in the neck. Therefore, the neck likes to live in a warm environment and does not like cold.

2. The cervical spine is afraid of cold and is icy. The symptoms are relatively serious, causing poor sleep quality. It is related to insufficient qi and blood, kidney yang deficiency, long-term excessive fatigue, and staying up late can cause it.

3. It is a manifestation of kidney yang deficiency . The back of the cervical vertebra is mainly where the foot-sun bladder meridian runs. The kidney and bladder are exterior and interior to each other, so kidney yang deficiency will cause the cervical vertebra to be cold.
