The symptom of cervical vertebra disease needs to do those examinations

summary

Cervical spondylosis, also known as cervical syndrome, is the general name of cervical osteoarthritis, proliferative cervical spondylitis, cervical nerve root syndrome and cervical disc prolapse. It is a disease based on degenerative pathological changes. The symptoms of cervical spondylosis need to do those tests, next to share my views with you.

The symptom of cervical vertebra disease needs to do those examinations

First, the patient's head was tilted to the affected side by the intervertebral foraminal compression test. When the examiner put his left palm on the patient's head, clenched his right hand and tapped his left back, there was radiation pain or numbness in the limbs, indicating that the force was transmitted down to the intervertebral foramina and became smaller, with root damage; For those with severe root pain, the examiners should put their hands on the top of the head and under the pressure, which can induce or aggravate the symptoms. When the patient's head is in neutral position or extension position, the positive pressure test is called positive Jackson pressure head test.

Second, CT has been used to diagnose spinal canal enlargement or bone destruction caused by ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament, spinal canal stenosis and spinal cord tumor, and measure bone density to estimate the degree of osteoporosis. In addition, the soft tissue inside and outside dural sheath and subarachnoid space can be clearly seen in the transverse sectional images. Therefore, it can correctly diagnose intervertebral disc herniation, neurofibroma, spinal cord or medullary cavity, which has certain value for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of cervical spondylosis.

Third: lateral position: ① change of curvature, straightening of cervical spine, disappearance of physiological protrusion or reverse bending. ② Abnormal range of motion can be seen in the lateral X-ray film of cervical hyperextension and hyperflexion. ③ Osteophyte and ligament calcification can be found in the anterior and posterior parts of the vertebral body near the intervertebral disc. ④ Intervertebral space narrowing intervertebral disc can be due to nucleus pulposus protrusion, intervertebral disc water content reduction, fibrous degeneration and thinning, performance in X-ray film for intervertebral space narrowing. ⑤ After subluxation and intervertebral foramen becoming smaller and intervertebral disc degeneration, the stability of the vertebral body is low, and the vertebral body often has subluxation, or sliding vertebra. ⑥ Nuchal ligament calcification is one of the typical lesions of cervical spondylosis.

matters needing attention

1. Read books about cervical spondylosis and master scientific methods to prevent and treat diseases. 2. Keep optimistic spirit, set up the thought of struggling with the disease, cooperate with the doctor to treat, reduce the recurrence. 3. Strengthen the exercise of neck and shoulder muscles, do the flexion, extension and rotation of head and upper limbs during or after work, which can not only relieve fatigue, but also make muscles developed and toughness enhanced, which is conducive to the stability of cervical spine and enhance the ability of neck and shoulder to adapt to the sudden changes of neck
