In our daily lives, we often hear people around us talk about cervical spondylosis. Some people go to the doctor with neck pain, numbness in their fingers and are told they have cervical spondylosis;Some people find degeneration of the cervical spine during the physical examination, but they do not feel obvious discomfort. Some people are so severe that they can't get out of bed and walk because of dizziness, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms, but after the doctor's cervical spondylosis**, the symptoms are relieved. The symptoms of cervical spondylosis are varied, so let's find out.

Neck pain is the most common presenting symptom of cervical spondylosis, and is usually dull, tingling, or soreness in nature and is usually worse when you wake up in the morning or when you work with your head down. The range of pain can be fanned down from the cervical spine to the upper back, the scapula region, and the shoulder arms.

In addition to neck pain, 6 to 70 percent of patients with cervical spondylosis will experience pain and numbness in the shoulders, arms, and hands. Pain in these areas can be pins and needles, soreness, or burning, and in severe cases, discharge pain may even radiate from the back of the neck to the arms and fingers. This pain tends to worsen when you cough, sneeze, or take a deep breath.

Numbness occurs mainly in the deltoid area on the outside of the shoulder, on the outside of the upper arm, and in the fingers. Finger numbness in patients with cervical spondylosis is characteristic, either radial numbness (including thumb, index, middle, and half of the ring finger) or ulnar numbness (including little finger and half of the ring finger).

Cervical spondylosis can also cause headaches and dizziness. The pain can occur in the back of the head, on the top of the head, in the forehead, or in the temporal region on both sides of the head, and even a migraine on one side of the head. The nature of the headache can be dull, dull, tingling, throbbing, or bloating. Most dizziness caused by cervical spondylosis is vertigo, in which the patient feels that he or she is spinning or what is around him/herself, and he or she is unsteady on his or her feet. Vertigo episodes can last seconds, minutes, or even hours, usually during a change of body position or head rotation.

It is important to note that headache and dizziness often coexist in cervical spondylosis, but their primary and secondary relationships may vary. Sometimes headache is predominantly accompanied by dizziness, and sometimes dizziness is predominantly accompanied by headache.

When you have the above symptoms, do not use drugs at will or let non-medical personnel give you a massage**. Be sure to go to the hospital in time to avoid missing the best time.

Traditional Chinese medicine also has an in-depth understanding of cervical spondylosis, which is related to the disharmony of qi and blood and the blockage of meridians. Therefore, the methods of cervical spondylosis in traditional Chinese medicine are mainly based on blood circulation and blood stasis, relaxation of tendons and channels. Commonly used methods include traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, massage, cupping, etc., which are designed to relieve muscle tension and unblock the meridians, thereby relieving symptoms. In addition, TCM also emphasizes adjusting lifestyle habits and postures, such as maintaining a correct sitting and standing posture, and avoiding bowing your head for long periods of time or maintaining the same posture. Proper neck exercises and warmth measures can also help prevent cervical spondylosis.
