Is cervical spondylosis a spinal cord disease?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurology doctor. Is cervical spondylosis a spinal cord disease?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the onset of cervical spondylosis is not caused by spinal cord inflammation. Generally, the onset of cervical spondylosis in patients is due to chronic strain, developmental cervical spinal canal stenosis, or degenerative changes in the cervical spine. In some cases, inflammation may also be caused by congenital abnormalities of the vertebrae. Currently, the relief for patients is usually achieved through medication and traction relief.
