Cervical spine arch

Introduction A common cervical spondylosis. The cervical vertebra has a normal physiological curvature, and if there is no physiological curvature, it even bends in the opposite direction, called the anti-bow. Humans belong to advanced vertebrates, and the "C"-shaped forward physiological curve of the cervical spine guarantees a high degree of flexibility in cervical vertebra activity, but people often have postures and activities that violate the physiological curve of the cervical spine. Cervical vertebral arch is the most common pathological basis for cervical spondylosis. Inappropriate use of the occipital is an important cause of cervical vertebral arch.

Cause

The most common is the "high pillow", the high pillow makes the head flexion, increases the stress of the lower cervical vertebra, and accelerates the degeneration of the cervical spine. High-sleeping, reading, high-backed TV, long-term Internet access, ramie and other bad habits, long-term convincing of the "skinny" link of the cervical spine, resulting in a gradual decrease in the curve of the lordosis, straightening or even bowing.

The bone and joint tissues associated with the cervical vertebrae produce a series of physiological and pathological changes due to the early development of hyperplasia, spurs, ligament hypertrophy, intervertebral disc herniation, compression of the cervical spinal cord, nerve roots, vertebral artery, etc., and clinical symptoms associated with cervical spondylosis, such as Shoulder, arm pain, dizziness, insomnia, forgetfulness, etc.

The cervical vertebra has a normal physiological curvature. If there is no physiological curvature, even bending in the opposite direction is the anti-bow. Cervical vertebral arch can cause many diseases, first of all, the compression of the cervical vertebrae, which will cause insufficient blood supply to the brain; secondly, nerve compression, radiculopathy or sympathetic diseases. Common limb numbness, nausea and vomiting, dizziness and headache, severe can cause paralysis.

Differential diagnosis

Cervical vertebrae: Cervical vertebrae, also known as cervical vertebrae hyperplasia, refers to the formation of scar tissue on the edge of the bone joint due to long-term chronic injury, which can form calcium accretion and become bone. Cervical vertebrae hyperplasia is a physiological degenerative change of bone and joint in middle and old age, and is the inevitable result of human aging. Its formation is closely related to the pressure and anatomical characteristics of the bones and joints and vertebral bodies of people of different ages and occupations.
