Which department should I go to for headache caused by cervical spondylosis?

Headaches caused by cervical spondylosis are mostly due to spasm and fatigue of the neck muscles, which leads to tension headaches. You can go to an orthopedic or neurology department for treatment. Although cervical spondylosis is a relatively common disease, it is also a difficult and complicated disease and can cause the following harm to patients. 1. Cervical spondylosis can cause pain in the head, neck, shoulders, back, arms, stiff neck, and limited movement. Neck and shoulder pain can radiate to the headrest and upper limbs, and some are accompanied by dizziness and room spinning. In severe cases, there is nausea and vomiting, and the patient is bedridden. A few may have vertigo and cataplexy. Some people have heat on one side of their face and sometimes sweat abnormally. Feeling of heaviness in the shoulders and back, weakness in the upper limbs, numbness in the fingers, decreased sensation in the skin of the limbs, inability to hold objects, and sometimes unconsciously dropping objects. 2. A small number of people experience incontinence, urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction, and even paralysis of the limbs. There are also symptoms such as difficulty swallowing and difficulty in pronunciation. If the disease is not cured for a long time, it will cause psychological harm and produce symptoms such as insomnia, irritability, anger, anxiety, and depression. 3. When cervical spondylosis involves the sympathetic nerves, dizziness, headache, blurred vision, swelling and dry eyes, inability to open eyes, tinnitus, ear congestion, imbalance, tachycardia, palpitations, chest tightness, and even gastrointestinal bloating may occur.

Five reasons why cervical spondylosis causes headaches: 1. Cervical spondylosis directly stimulates, compresses or pulls the headache-sensitive tissues in the head, causing headaches. 2. Pathological stimulation, compression or damage to the first, second and third cervical nerves causes headaches, especially in the occipital region. The pain may also radiate to the head through the reflex action of the trigeminal nucleus of the medulla oblongata or spinal cord. 3. Patients with impetus pulse type cervical spondylosis suffer from headaches because the lesions directly affect the impetus pulse, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the vertebral-basilar artery system. 4. Because cervical spondylosis involves the neck muscles, it causes persistent spasmodic contraction of the neck muscles, leading to muscle blood circulation disorders, which can release pathogenic substances such as lactic acid, 5-hydroxytryptamine, and bradykinin, causing headaches. 5. The lesion can stimulate or compress the sympathetic plexus around the vertebral artery or other sympathetic nerves in the neck, causing vasodilation and contraction disorders in the vertebral-basilar artery system or intracranial and extracranial arteries and producing headaches.
