Some of the doctor's advice and recommendations are also of practical help for people in preventing diseases and maintaining health.
Cervical spondylosis, also known as cervical spondylosis syndrome, is a degenerative pathological change of the cervical vertebrae 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 suffering from this disease, 50% at 60, and almost 100% after 70. From clinical observations, there has been a recent trend of younger patients. This means that with the aging of China's population, the incidence of this disease will increase exponentially, and more and more people will face the challenges of cervical spondylosis.
This book introduces the anatomical features, causes, and triggering factors of cervical spondylosis in simple and popular language. It also describes the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and treatment principles of different types of cervical spondylosis, such as cervical spondylosis, cervical spondylosis with nerve root involvement, cervical spondylosis with spinal cord involvement, and cervical spondylosis with vertebral artery involvement. Accompanied by vivid illustrations, it provides a relatively practical reference for patients and a broad readership.
