Why do so many people have cervical spine problems? This is mainly because the cervical vertebra is the most flexible and active vertebral body in the spine, and it is easy to dislocate. Dislocation stimulates related nerves, and cervical symptoms will appear.
How to diagnose whether you have cervical spondylosis? The diagnosis of cervical spondylosis is based on symptoms, and the other is based on some signs of cervical dislocation found by objective examination (standard X-ray film). In fact, many people do have some slight discomfort in the cervical spine, or it may just be a soft tissue injury in the neck.
What are the symptoms of cervical spondylosis? How can I judge whether I have cervical spondylosis? There is a very simple way, that is, through the "self-evaluation form of TCM symptoms of Diao's spondylopathy".
There are symptoms in the picture. We should first doubt whether there is anything wrong with the cervical vertebra, and then do a standard X-ray examination as soon as possible.
Some people may ask, "Is there a simpler way for teachers to directly judge whether there is anything wrong with their cervical vertebrae?" Generally speaking, cervical spondylosis mainly manifests as head and neck pain, facial features, shoulder and back pain and stiff neck. According to this hint, we can preliminarily judge whether there is something wrong with our cervical spine. You can check the mobility of the cervical spine first, that is, slowly turn your head in all directions to see if there is pain in your neck. If there is pain, it is necessary to doubt the possibility of cervical spondylosis.
Then how do you judge which part of the cervical vertebra has a problem? You can lower your head slightly, starting from the most prominent seventh cervical vertebra, and gently press the cervical vertebra and the left and right sides with your hands. If there is a positive reaction point, you will feel tenderness, or touch a cord-like, sandy lump, which may be the place where the cervical vertebra has problems.
Cervical spondylosis is the root of many diseases, and its degeneration process is a long and slow process, not a "cold day". Therefore, early prevention, early detection and early treatment can have a healthy cervical vertebra!
