Cervical spondylosis, also known as cervical spondylosis syndrome, is a degenerative pathological change of the cervical spine and a stubborn and difficult-to-treat condition in the medical field. This disease is more common in middle-aged and elderly people, with the incidence rate increasing with age. Around 25% of people aged around 50 have suffered from or are currently suffering from this disease, 50% at the age of 60, and nearly 100% after the age of 70. From clinical observations, there has been a trend toward younger patients in recent years. This means that with the aging of China's population, the incidence rate of this disease will increase exponentially, and more and more people will face the challenges of cervical spondylosis.
