How serious can cervical spine problem be?

Are you having neck problem or suffered from cervical spondylosis?
Still no treatment to deal with it?  It begins with the curve in cervical spine straightened out. To improve this, we need to change the condition first.

The adult human brain weighs about 3 pounds or 1,300-1,400g. That is 2% of the total body weight. It is all our neck supporting it. The cervical spine (neck) is comprised of seven vertebrae. The nerves of vertebra are connected to the eyes, nose, ears. brain, fingers and lungs respectively. When it is misaligned, it causes pressure / tension to the nerves and having issues with the part it is connected with. Furthermore, our cervical spine will wear out with time especially if we have faulty posture, such as always head down using intelligent electronic products. Using high pillow can also cause cervical spine problem.

Problem arises from cervical spine does NOT only cause neck problem. It can also affect your lower part or even the entire body as our body is a whole not a separate unit.

Cervical Spondylosis can cause these symptoms:

Ear and eyesight problem:
Dizziness, headache, tinnitus, obstructed hearing, dissequilibrium, visually impaired. swelling eyes, sensitive to light, tearing eyes etc. It is also one of the causes of rhinitis. 

Cervical cardiac syndrome:
Painful chest, chest congestion, arrhythmia which can be easily diagnosed as coronary artery heart disease. Stiff back, sore and swelling shoulder.

Cervical blood pressure:
Can cause high or low blood pressure, utsually causing high blood pressure. It is called as “Cervical Hypertension”. Both cervical spondylosis and high blood pressure may happen at the same time on middle-aged people and elderly. 

Paralysis:
Lower limb numbness and pain, intermittent claudication. Some patients may feel like stepping on cotton when walking. Difficulty defecation and urination (dysuria) such as frequent or urgent urination, urinary and fecal incontinence. Numbness of limbs (quadriplegia), etc serious symptom.

Falling down:
Falling down suddenly with head turning and body is out of balance when standing or walking. Patient is conscious and has no sequela. It usually also accompanies by dizziness, headache, nausea, vomitting and sweating, etc. nervous disorder. It is due to deformation on cervical vertebrae which can constrict blood vessels and lead to lack of blood in brain.

Bloating and constipation. Difficulty swallowing:
Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), obstruction of oesophagus, hoarse voice, hacking cough, tight throat, chest congestion, etc. It is due to the surrounding tissue of oesophagus is stimulated or back of oesophagus is pressured causing stricture of the oesophagus.

Stroke:
According to a incomplete statistics, most of the patients who get stroke also has cervical spondylosis. Most people or doctor may not be aware of that.

Want to improve it? I recommend taking little time everyday to use orthopaedic wooden pillow.
