What is cervical spondylosis and what are the symptoms of cervical spondylosis?
In clinical practice, cervical spondylosis refers to the condition where the cervical spine experiences growth and degeneration of bone tissues, along with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, exerting pressure and irritation on the spinal cord, nerves, and blood vessels. This results in a series of symptoms of nerve compression, which can be diagnosed as cervical spondylosis. After developing cervical spondylosis, a patient may exhibit increased muscle tone in the limbs and weakened muscular strength. Symptoms include numbness in the limbs, which can affect walking activities. When walking, there may be a sensation as if stepping on cotton, and pathological reflexes can appear in the lower limbs. Additionally, some patients may experience dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. Diagnostic clarity can be achieved through electromyography, cervical spine X-rays, CT scans, and MRI.
