After suffering from cervical spondylosis, there will be significant pain in the cervical spine area, which can affect both daily life and work. So, what are some other hazards of cervical spondylosis? Let's learn more about it from the article below.
1. The harm of cervical spondylosis can cause bloating and constipation. Some patients with cervical spondylosis experience stimulation or damage to the nearby cervical sympathetic nerves, which sends signals to the brain. This increases the excitability of relevant nerves, slowing down the gastrointestinal motility of the organs they control, leading to bloating and constipation.
2. The presence of cervical spondylosis can lead to strokes, determined by the anatomical, physiological, and pathological characteristics of the cervical vertebrae. Therefore, this is also a harmful manifestation of having cervical spondylosis.
3. The harm of cervical spondylosis can also cause tachycardia. The discomfort in the heart caused by cervical spondylosis mainly results from the fourth nerve root being stimulated by bone spurs in the cervical vertebrae. Spinal curvature mostly occurs during adolescence, which is related to sudden changes in neck position.
4. Cervical spondylosis can cause difficulty in swallowing. How to treat cervical spondylosis? The upper end of the esophagus is adjacent to the sixth cervical vertebra. When there is an overgrowth at the sixth cervical vertebra, it may press on or irritate the esophagus, potentially causing inflammation or swelling around the esophagus. This leads to a sensation of a foreign body while eating, which is a hazard of cervical spondylosis.
