General patients with neck and shoulder pain, the first time I think of cervical spondylosis is. Cervical spine is the most 'golden' part of the human body, bearing the head, the next trunk, played a 'bearing on the' under the effect of the human cervical vertebra has seven And six cervical intervertebral discs (there is no intervertebral disc between the first and second vertebrae). An intervertebral disc is inserted between the two vertebrae. Cervical spondylosis often occurs in segments 4-6 of the neck.
Find out the top three reasons for prevention
First, bone hyperplasia. Cervical degenerative lesions is that people often say that bone hyperplasia is the most basic reason for the occurrence and development of cervical spondylosis due to disc degeneration leading to intervertebral space stenosis, joint capsule, ligament relaxation, stability of cervical activity Which leads to degeneration and hyperplasia of the vertebral body, facet joint, lumbar joint, anterior and posterior longitudinal ligament, ligamentum flavum and other ligaments, which will cause instability of the cervical spine, and finally stimulation or oppression of the spinal cord, nerves and blood vessels When the film observation, we can see straight cervical spine, vertebral osteophyte formation, intervertebral space stenosis.
Second, acute trauma .Acute trauma can make the original degenerative cervical and intervertebral disc injury aggravate and induce the disease, there is irreversible neurological damage .Acute some common cases of severe cervical spondylotic myelopathy, due to accidental falls or sudden braking and other reasons , So that the load of the cervical vertebra more than the normal range, thus paralyzed.Therefore, patients with severe cervical spondylotic myelopathy, should not be at risk or taboo treatment, should immediately go to the regular hospital for medical treatment.
Third, congenital cervical spinal stenosis refers to the process of embryo or during the pedicle is too short, so that the spinal canal sagittal diameter less than normal (14 ~ 16 mm) .In this case, even if cervical degeneration and hyperplasia than Light, but also the emergence of symptoms of oppression, such people are more likely to get cervical spondylosis.
The incidence of cervical spondylosis in recent years showed an upward trend, and the incidence of younger, mainly due to long-term bad habits of young people, for example, bow for a long time to play mobile phones, sedentary computer office.
