Cervical spondylosis is a very common disease in clinical practice. Its pathological manifestations mainly include local muscle tension, spasm, and adhesion in the cervical spine, combined with disorder of the cervical facet joints, straightening or reversal of cervical curvature, and some cases may also involve protrusion of cervical vertebrae and intervertebral discs. After the onset of cervical spondylosis, it is generally recommended that patients initially undertake comprehensive conservative treatment. Conservative treatment measures include physiotherapy, oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, oral traditional Chinese medicines that activate blood circulation, reduce swelling, relieve pain, relax tendons and unblock collaterals, as well as topical plasters that have similar effects. After such comprehensive conservative treatments, symptoms of cervical spondylosis largely get alleviated. If the patient does not respond to conservative treatment and the symptoms severely affect their normal life and work, surgical treatment may then be considered.
