Cervical spondylosis in Oriental medicine is called cot ty, belonging to the scope of ty syndrome.
1. Symptoms and causes of the disease
The main symptom of the disease is that the cartilage that bears the load in the center of the joint gradually becomes softer and forms cracks. Meanwhile, the cartilage tissue around the joint gradually turns into bone, proliferating abnormally - forming bone spurs commonly known as bone spurs .
Bone spurs stimulate nerves and tissues near the joint, leading to a series of pathological conditions such as stiff neck, fatigue, pain; pain can spread down the arm, accompanied by other symptoms such as headache, tinnitus, dizziness, vertigo... due to compressed nerves causing a decrease in blood and oxygen to the brain.
Bone spurs lead to stiff neck, fatigue, pain...
Depending on the location of the bone spurs, different types of diseases are formed, such as "cervical spine spurs", "lumbar spine spurs", "knee joint spurs"... In the case of cervical spine spurs, it is very common in middle age, however, the disease is tending to be younger in age due to unscientific lifestyle, unreasonable living and working regime...
According to Oriental medicine, the main cause is the decline of vital energy, the function of the meridians, and stagnant blood and energy... Taking advantage of the body's weakness, cold and dampness invade and reside in the joints, causing the circulation of blood and energy to become increasingly delayed, causing illness.
