What type of cervical spondylosis symptoms does cervical disc herniation compress the dura mater sac?

Cervical disc herniation compressing the dura mater sac is a type of radiculopathy. The treatment is mainly to relieve nerve compression and alleviate symptoms. Common causes include disc degeneration, trauma, long-term bad posture, etc. Treatment methods include medication, physical therapy, surgery, etc.

1. Drug treatment: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and diclofenac can relieve pain and inflammation; muscle relaxants such as chlorzoxazone and tizanidine can help relieve muscle spasms; neurotrophic drugs such as methylcobalamin and vitamin B12 can promote nerve repair.

2. Physical therapy: Cervical traction can relieve nerve compression by reducing intervertebral disc pressure; hot compress or infrared irradiation can improve local blood circulation and relieve pain; cervical massage and manual reduction must be performed under the guidance of a professional physician to improve cervical function.

3. Surgical treatment: For patients with severe symptoms or who are ineffective with conservative treatment, minimally invasive discectomy, intervertebral fusion or artificial disc replacement can be chosen to relieve nerve compression and restore cervical stability.

4. Lifestyle adjustments: Avoid lowering your head or maintaining the same posture for a long time. It is recommended to move the cervical spine for 5-10 minutes every hour of work; use ergonomic pillows and chairs to maintain the natural physiological curvature of the cervical spine; perform cervical spine exercises appropriately to strengthen the neck muscles.

5. Preventive measures: Keep your neck warm and avoid catching cold; control your weight to reduce the burden on your cervical spine; check your cervical spine regularly, especially for those who work at a desk for a long time or are middle-aged and elderly people.

The treatment of cervical disc herniation compressing the dura mater sac requires a personalized plan based on the patient's specific situation. Early intervention can effectively relieve symptoms and prevent worsening of the disease. Patients should actively cooperate with treatment, pay attention to daily care, and maintain good living habits to promote recovery and reduce the risk of recurrence.
