Patient's question:
What is aseptic inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Inflammation reactions caused by non-bacterial factors such as physics and chemistry are collectively referred to as aseptic inflammation. Research conducted by numerous scientists around the world has found that aseptic inflammation in soft tissues, such as cervical spondylosis, which cannot be cured for a long time, is rooted in the causal relationship between aseptic inflammation in the cervical area and osteophyte formation. That is: due to various reasons such as trauma and overuse, cervical disc herniation, edema, and blood stasis cause aseptic inflammation, and long-term stimulation of local tissues by aseptic inflammation leads to the proliferation and ossification of cartilage tissue, forming osteophytes. On the other hand, once osteophytes form, they stimulate surrounding tissues to create new aseptic inflammation.
