[Edit this paragraph] Basic overview

Cervical spondylosis, also known as cervical syndrome, is a general term for cervical osteoarthritis, hyperplastic cervicitis, cervical nerve root syndrome and cervical disc herniation. It is a disease based on cervical degeneration. It is mainly due to long-term strain of cervical vertebra, hyperosteogeny, or disc herniation, ligament thickening, compression of cervical spinal cord, nerve root or vertebral artery, leading to a series of clinical syndromes of dysfunction. It is characterized by degeneration of cervical intervertebral disc itself and a series of secondary lesions, such as instability and looseness of vertebral body segments. Protrusion or prolapse of nucleus pulposus; Bone spur formation; Ligament hypertrophy and secondary spinal stenosis stimulate or compress adjacent nerve roots, spinal cord, vertebral artery and cervical sympathetic nerve, causing various symptoms and signs of syndrome.

This disease belongs to the category of arthralgia syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine. Clinical syndrome differentiation is mainly divided into two types: liver and kidney deficiency and wind-cold-dampness arthralgia. The cervical vertebra is located between the head, chest and upper limbs. It is the segment with the smallest volume, the largest activity, the highest activity frequency and the heaviest load, so it is easy to degenerate due to various loads, strains and even trauma. Around the age of 30, the cervical intervertebral disc began to degenerate gradually, and the water content decreased, which became more obvious with age, and induced or promoted the degeneration of other parts of the cervical spine. From the biomechanical point of view, the 5th-6th and 6th-7th cervical vertebrae are the most stressed, so the occurrence of cervical spondylosis is more common in these segments. Statistics show that about 25% of people around 50 years old have suffered or are suffering from this disease, 50% at 60 years old and almost 100% at 70 years old, which shows that this disease is a common and frequently-occurring disease among middle-aged and elderly people.

[Edit this paragraph] The symptoms of cervical spondylosis mainly include

(1) dizziness

Vertigo is a common symptom in patients with cervical spondylosis of vertebral artery type. The patient's posture changes due to neck stretching or rotation, which induces dizziness. Vertigo caused by ischemic lesions of vestibular nucleus usually lasts for a short time and disappears after a few seconds to a few minutes. At the time of onset, patients may have mild absences and dyskinesia, which is characterized by unstable walking or leaning to one side; Vertigo caused by ischemic labyrinthine lesions with unconscious disorder. Vertigo caused by vestibular neuropathy belongs to central vertigo; Labyrinthine ischemic lesions belong to peripheral vertigo. Some patients feel sick and can't look up when they have an acute attack. A few patients have diplopia, nystagmus, tinnitus and deafness.

In terms of physical signs, the patient's neck movement is limited at the time of onset, and neck rotation or movement can cause dizziness, nausea or palpitation. Some patients can hear the noise caused by vertebral artery distortion and blood flow obstruction when auscultating the clavicle of the affected side. Thumb palpation of the posterior neck can touch and push the patient to rotate and shift to one side, and the spinous process and the displaced articular process have obvious tenderness.

(2) Headache

Patients with cervical spondylosis of vertebral artery type usually have headache and dizziness at the onset. Among them, greater occipital neuropathy is the main cause of headache. Because the occipital artery, a branch of the vertebral artery, supplies the greater occipital nerve, the spasm of the vertebral artery causes ischemia of the greater occipital nerve in clinic, which leads to headache in the area dominated by the greater occipital nerve. It is intermittent jumping pain, radiating from the back neck side to the occipital part and half head, with burning sensation, and a few patients have hyperalgesia, and the pain is obvious when touching. In addition, trapezius muscle innervated by accessory nerve can cause trapezius muscle spasm due to its root lesion or trauma, and the greater occipital nerve branch passing through trapezius muscle is squeezed to induce clinical symptoms. When the atlas or axis is displaced, it can also stimulate the greater occipital nerve passing through it and induce headache.

(3) visual impairment

Vertebral basilar artery system spasm caused by cervical spondylosis, followed by ischemic lesions of occipital visual center. A few patients may have decreased vision or visual field defect, and even cause blindness in severe cases.

(4) sudden fall

When the patient's neck rotates, he suddenly feels weak in his lower limbs and falls. The clinical characteristics are: the patient is conscious when he is ill, and he can get up or even walk in a short time. This is different from other cerebrovascular diseases.

(5) Fundamental symptoms

Due to local anatomy, patients with vertebral artery type are often accompanied by nerve root symptoms.

(6) Neck symptoms: neck discomfort, limited activity, mainly neck pain, neck pain, stiff neck activity or improvement after massage; Get up in the morning, fatigue, improper posture, suddenly aggravated after cold stimulation; There is a "quack" sound in the movable neck; Stiff neck muscles; Press the pain point on the neck with your hand; There is ligament "bounce" in the massage neck, and the neck is not flexible enough to rotate.

(7) Shoulder symptoms: heavy shoulders; Shoulder pain and swelling; Neck muscle spasm, pain when pressing the neck, sometimes severe pain; Fatigue, sedentary and improper posture are aggravated;

(8) Back symptoms: back muscles are tense and stiff, and get better after exercise or massage; There is a pain point in the back, and the pressing is obvious; Fatigue and cold will aggravate the symptoms of back discomfort.

[Edit this paragraph] Symptoms

Its main symptoms are pain in head, neck, shoulders, back and arms, stiff neck and limited movement. Neck and shoulder pain can radiate to the headrest and upper limbs, some accompanied by dizziness, house rotation, severe cases accompanied by nausea and vomiting, bedridden, and a few may appear dizziness and sudden collapse. Some have fever on one side and sometimes sweat abnormally. Heavy feeling in shoulders and back, weakness in upper limbs, numbness in fingers, decreased skin sensation in limbs, weakness in grip, and sometimes involuntary landing. Other patients have weakness of lower limbs, unstable walking, numbness of feet and the feeling of stepping on cotton when walking. When cervical spondylosis involves sympathetic nerve, dizziness, headache, blurred vision, eye swelling, dryness, hard eyes, tinnitus, ear blockage, imbalance, tachycardia, palpitation, chest tightness, and some even flatulence occur. A few people urinate loudly, lose control, have sexual dysfunction and even become quadriplegic. There are also symptoms such as dysphagia and dysphonia. These symptoms are related to the degree of onset, duration of onset and personal physique. Most of them have mild onset and are not taken seriously, and most of them can recover on their own, sometimes light and sometimes heavy. Only when the symptoms continue to deteriorate, irreversible, and work and life are affected will they be taken seriously. If the disease is not cured for a long time, it will cause psychological damage, resulting in insomnia, irritability, anger, anxiety, depression and other symptoms.

(1) Neck symptoms: neck pain, neck stiffness, neck rigidity, limited movement, neck muscle spasm, difficulty in neck movement, feeling tied, "limping", neck swelling, "stiff neck" and so on. The head is often tilted to one side, and it is difficult to look up and down and rotate.

(2) Symptoms of upper limbs: numbness of shoulders, arms and back, pain, dyskinesia and sensation, hyperalgesia, electric shock, numbness of fingers or ant walking, weakness and heaviness of hands, unstable grip, tremor and paralysis, muscle atrophy of upper limbs, and limited activities around shoulders.

(3) Symptoms of lower limbs: The lower limbs may have radiation pain, cold, numbness, chills, or heat shock pain, weakness, inability to stand, walk or squat, which is aggravated after exercise, relieved after rest, or aggravated just after getting up after rest, rarely improved after exercise, and aggravated after re-exercise. It is related to the weather change, which is aggravated by cold and alleviated by heat, or not obvious. In severe cases, muscle atrophy, limping and functional decline.
