Early symptoms of cervical spondylotic myelopathy

1. Degeneration. Especially in the elderly, with the growth of age, the body will definitely have degenerative diseases. Lax muscles and bones can directly lead to calcification of cervical ligaments. Degenerative changes of cervical intervertebral disc, vertebral body and facet joints appear in middle-aged and elderly patients. The protrusion of cervical intervertebral disc towards the back of vertebral body will compress the spinal cord, leading to cervical spondylotic myelopathy.

2. Intramedullary blood circulation obstruction: once spinal canal stenosis is caused, the spinal cord will suffer compression damage in the long run. Once the compression affects the central part of the medullary gray matter, lateral cord and other parts, internal blood circulation will be blocked. In severe cases, the vessels in the compression area will expand, and in severe cases, they may even rupture.

3. The influence of physical strength: if the cervical spine is overworked, it will also induce this disease. So, don't let cervical vertebra fatigue at all, after working for a while, we should move. Bad living habits, such as lying reading books and newspapers, always hunchback, daily do not pay attention to keep warm, with cold water for a shower, directly blowing cold air to the air conditioner and fan, etc.
