What symptoms does cervical spondylosis cause?

Speaking of cervical spondylosis, it is a common disease in our lives. This disease is more common among people who work in a sedentary manner, and is most common among white-collar workers. Its harm makes many patients miserable, and cervical spondylosis can also cause various symptoms, which makes many people helpless. If we understand the causes of cervical spondylosis and learn how to prevent it, it would be the best way to prevent it before it happens.

Distress caused by cervical spondylosis

Many patients with cervical spondylosis usually experience symptoms such as stiff neck, numbness of hands and feet, neck and shoulder pain, motor paralysis, and concurrent swallowing difficulties, visual impairment, abnormal blood pressure, coronary heart disease, arrhythmia, chest pain, cataplexy, dizziness and even lower limb paralysis.

Symptoms caused by cervical spondylosis

1. Cervical spondylosis can cause paralysis. Some spinal cord type or mixed type cervical spondylosis with spinal cord type as the main type cannot receive systematic treatment, so the pathogenic factors cannot be eliminated. With the progression of the disease, irreversible changes such as spinal cord degeneration and liquefaction occur, and paralysis will occur. This shows how serious the harm of cervical spondylosis is.

2. Cervical spondylosis can cause high blood pressure. Hypertension caused by cervical spondylosis is called cervicogenic hypertension. Most patients suffer from dizziness or vertigo, heaviness and discomfort in the shoulders and back, etc. If there is a dislocation of multiple joints of the cervical spine, it will be accompanied by chest tightness, shortness of breath or arrhythmia. Dislocation of the transverse process caused by cervical dislocation, or bacterial inflammation caused by cervical dislocation injury, can lead to excitement of the sympathetic postganglionic fibers, resulting in cerebral vascular spasm, which is also a harm of cervical spondylosis.

3. Cervical spondylosis can cause stomach discomfort. Patients with cervical spondylosis, especially those with sympathetic and spinal cord cervical spondylosis, will have symptoms such as nausea, heartburn, fullness, vomiting, stomach noise, and loss of appetite. This is because when the dura mater and other tissues of the cervical spinal cord are compressed and stimulated, the reflex of the sympathetic nerves causes the clinical manifestations. When the degenerative and unstable cervical vertebrae are dislocated, it will affect the vertebral artery, causing ischemia of the basilar artery and medulla oblongata. The patient will then experience symptoms of nausea and dizziness, which are all hazards of cervical spondylosis.

Causes of cervical spondylosis

Many patients with cervical spondylosis do not pay attention to this disease, nor do they pay attention to exercise. Their necks are often kept in a bowed posture. Over time, the condition will gradually worsen. When the condition is beyond the patient's estimation, they begin to panic, and the treatment is often more troublesome at this time.
