What should I do if my arms hurt due to compression of the cervical spine?

The cervical spine is the pillar of our body. If there is a problem with the cervical spine, it means that the body may feel oppressed and may even cause many adverse problems. Generally, after suffering from cervical spondylosis, the arm will be compressed by the cervical vertebra, causing pain in the arm, so what you should pay attention to in daily life is to improve the condition through massage, acupuncture and physical therapy.

Cervical spondylosis generally includes cervical bone hyperplasia, variation of normal curvature and cervical disc herniation. Your problem is mainly caused by degenerative lesions of the cervical spine, which compresses the nerves (dura mater sac) and obstructs the local metabolic circulation. It also depends on which specific nerve is being compressed. It can usually be divided into cervical type with mainly neck symptoms, radiculopathy type with upper limb symptoms caused by nerve root involvement, spinal cord type with movement and sensory disorders of the limbs, vertebral artery type with vertebral artery compression causing symptoms of sympathetic nerve stimulation around the vertebral artery, and esophageal type with esophageal compression causing swallowing discomfort or difficulty. I don't know exactly what your symptoms are. The main reactions are pain, dizziness, vomiting, numbness of hands, insomnia, reflex pain, etc. If not treated promptly, the disease will further develop and may lead to serious consequences such as irregular runny nose, decreased vision, facial paralysis or upper limb muscle atrophy.

This type of disease is generally more common among people who do desk work. From the initial local inflammation and edema to the formation of fluid accumulation, the affected area's body metabolism is impaired, and in the later stage, it accumulates and forms hyperplasia. This process is called Bi syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine, and Bi means obstruction. It is recommended to use transdermal administration of Chinese medicine to soften hard masses, dredge meridians, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, so as to promote local metabolic function, thereby enabling the body to absorb and metabolize the existing hyperplasia and achieve the purpose of healing.

Patients with cervical spine should pay attention to: 1. Avoid and reduce acute injuries, such as avoiding lifting heavy objects, etc. 2. Correct bad posture and reduce strain. Do neck exercises every 1-2 hours when you lower or raise your head to relieve muscle tension. To prevent the occurrence of cervical spondylosis, the most important thing is to improve your sitting posture. You can also exercise intermittently while working hard.
