Detecting and treating cervical spondylosis

Cervical spondylosis is a common disease in people who have to use many movements affecting the head and neck area, causing many difficulties in living and working for patients.

When there are signs of pain, difficulty in moving the neck area, should be examined early to get the best treatment results.

Who is prone to cervical spondylosis?

Using infrared light to treat pain of cervical spondylosis (Photo: TTO) Cervical spondylosis is common in people who have a bowing posture and use many movements in the head and neck area, with strength high level of labor (working throughout the day without rest) and working age (age of service): can be found in transplant recipients (degenerative cervical vertebrae and lumbar vertebrae), barbers, dental specialists, plasterers, ceiling painters, circus actors .

In the elderly, due to the aging process of intermittent disc burning, the body burns due to poor perfusion so it is easier to develop disease in young people. People with loved ones who have had the disease are also at greater risk than those in the family who do not have a sick person.

Symptoms of cervical spondylosis

When infected, maybe for a long time the patients do not feel unusual feeling, then the following expressions:

- The neck movements are entangled and sore. It is possible that sometimes people are sick in the neck.

- The pain lasts from the nape of the neck to the ears, neck, affecting the head posture, 'crooked posture', neck posture, pain spread to the head, possible headache in the occipital region, forehead area, pain from the neck to the shoulder blades, arms on one side or on both sides.

It is necessary to distinguish the pain of cervical spondylosis with manifestations of posterior pituitary tumors, benign tumors in the cervical spine. Therefore, when there are unusual manifestations in the neck vertebrae, it is necessary to see a neurologist to get conclusions and correct treatment.

When infected, the movements in the neck are limited, there may be a feeling of difficulty turning the head, stiff neck, and pain points when pressing on the bone spines, the horizontal tip of the cervical spine. Cervical x-ray shows a loss of physiological curves, narrowing of intervertebral disc, deforming in burning stems and bone spines.

Cervical spondylosis in section C1-C2 is directly related to turning the head of the neck, to the lifting of the head. If degeneration in the C4 segment will involve the movement of the diaphragm. When lesions in this vertebral segment, patients also have hiccups, yawning, dizziness .

To prevent the phenomenon of fractures, dislocations of the limb, causing quadriplegia, causing the risk of death, absolutely do not twist the neck, press the patient's neck, the patient avoid lying too high. Cervical spondylosis is most likely to cause damage to the synaptic hole, affecting cerebral circulation disorders. Therefore, patients need to have neurological clinical examination in combination with other modern exploration to timely detect and manage.

To treat degenerative spondylosis : In order to treat effectively, patients should be excluded from occipital pain, shoulder scrub pain, arm, lesions that need surgery such as back pit, and myeloma. . Treatment is mainly using common analgesics combined with treatment, massage the nape, face and abdomen area. Take more vitamin E 400 UI, one tablet daily and take it regularly. It is necessary to use the general rehabilitation function of the whole body (especially for the elderly) in the form of relaxation, club activities.

As mentioned, this disease is heavily influenced by occupational factors, so for circus performers, people who work in craft have a lot of impact on the neck and neck, after every working day should be massage, take care directly to this area, should not be too exhausted at work. It is necessary to rationally distribute between labor and rest time, to minimize the negative impacts on the neck vertebrae. When there are signs of pain, it is difficult to mobilize the neck area to be examined early to get the best treatment results.
