What to do with sympathetic cervical spondylosis

Sympathetic cervical spondylosis requires comprehensive treatment to relieve the discomfort, including improving cervical stability, relieving nerve compression, and regulating sympathetic nerve function. Specific measures may include medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle adjustments. To avoid delaying the disease, scientific intervention methods should be adopted as early as possible.

Sympathetic cervical spondylosis is caused by the stimulation or compression of the sympathetic nerves due to degeneration and deformation of the cervical spine, resulting in symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, and blurred vision. The first treatment option is medication, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve inflammation and pain. Representative drugs include ibuprofen and celecoxib; sympathetic nerve regulation drugs such as phentolamine methylsulfate to improve nerve function; muscle relaxants such as baclofen are used to relieve neck muscle tension when necessary. At the same time, physical therapy has significant effects. Traction therapy can reduce intervertebral disc pressure, acupuncture and massage can improve local blood circulation, and physical therapy equipment such as infrared physical therapy can accelerate recovery. In severe cases, minimally invasive surgery such as radiofrequency ablation or intervertebral fusion can effectively relieve nerve compression. Poor posture of the cervical spine is also an important cause of the disease, and daily attention should be paid to prevent aggravation.

Patients are advised to pay attention to the health of the cervical spine and maintain a correct posture, such as keeping the head level with the screen when using a computer and avoiding bowing the head for a long time. At the same time, moderate exercise such as swimming and yoga can strengthen the neck muscles, and adding foods rich in calcium and vitamin D such as milk and deep-sea fish to the diet can help bone health. If symptoms continue to worsen or severe dizziness occurs, you should go to the hospital's neurology or orthopedics department for diagnosis and treatment in time to avoid worsening of the condition.
