1. Abdominal bloating and constipation: Some cervical spondylosis patients, due to stimulation and damage to the adjacent cervical sympathetic nerves, may experience discomfort that can be transmitted to the brain, resulting in increased excitability of related nerves. This can lead to a slowdown in the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, causing abdominal bloating and constipation. Therefore, for patients with unexplained persistent constipation, it is important to promptly identify clues and find the underlying causes.

2. Triggering head-related diseases: Insufficient blood supply to the brain can cause posterior cerebral ischemia, resulting in a series of head-related symptoms.

3. Shoulder pain: Some cervical spondylosis can cause discomfort in the shoulders, fingers, and other areas.

4. Visual impairments: Some cervical spondylosis patients may experience decreased vision, eye soreness, sensitivity to light, tearing, unequal pupil size, and even reduced visual field and visual acuity. This is related to autonomic nervous dysfunction caused by cervical spondylosis and ischemia in the occipital lobe visual center due to insufficient blood supply from the vertebral-basilar artery.

5. Frequent stiff neck: Some people have very high requirements for their sleeping environment, such as pillows and beds. They easily develop a stiff neck if they are not careful. This is often caused by unstable cervical spine and insufficient muscle strength in the neck. It is important to be cautious as it can develop into cervical spondylosis.

6. Neck cracking: There is a constant feeling of discomfort in the neck, and one unconsciously wants to turn the neck and make a "cracking" sound to feel relief. This is a typical manifestation of cervical instability. If not properly managed and repaired, the damage to the cervical spine can become more severe.

7. Rapid heartbeat: Some patients may feel a significant increase in heart rate and even experience chest tightness when turning their heads or twisting their necks. This may be due to stimulation of the fourth nerve root of the cervical spine, which is prone to occur when there is a sudden change in neck position.

Here are some effective preventive measures for cervical spondylosis in young people:

1. Maintain correct posture of the head and neck, whether working or studying.

Avoid tilting the head or shrugging the shoulders while reading or looking at things. If you work long hours on a computer, consider using a computer stand to help keep your eyes level with the screen.

2. Choose a good pillow that not only improves sleep quality but also helps with cervical spine issues.

Choose a therapeutic pillow specifically designed for cervical support. It should provide adequate support. If you only have mild neck discomfort, choose a pillow that matches the natural curvature of your neck and shoulders. Remember, the pillow should not be too high or too low, and the filling should not be too soft or too hard.

3. Dedicate time each week to perform 2-3 sessions of stretching and relaxation exercises for the neck, shoulders, and upper back.

Simple exercises like forward bending, backward stretching, and left-right rotation can help prevent narrowing of the cervical gaps and changes in the natural curvature of the spine. When performing these exercises, avoid excessive force or random movements without direction, as they can lead to muscle strain. Also, adjust the intensity and angles of the exercises according to your own body condition. Exceeding your body's capacity may have adverse effects.

4. Maintain body warmth to prevent invasion of wind-cold.

Not only fatigue and incorrect sitting posture can cause cervical and shoulder problems, but the body being exposed to wind, cold, and dampness can also worsen the symptoms of pain. The muscles in the shoulders and back can become tense and stiff when exposed to cold, affecting the mobility of the skeletal joints. Therefore, even during the summer season, it is important not to excessively rely on air conditioning and to pay attention to changes in weather temperature in order to maintain body warmth.

5. Use heat therapy or apply rheumatism ointment to relieve neck and shoulder pain.

Applying heat to the shoulders and neck can promote blood circulation, clear the meridians, and effectively treat early symptoms of cervical spondylosis such as neck stiffness, soreness, or mild pain caused by exposure to cold. Additionally, using ointments containing herbal ingredients applied to the painful area can also help alleviate discomfort caused by invasion of wind and cold.

The human spine, including the cervical spine, thoracic spine, lumbar spine, sacrum, and coccyx, is interconnected. Imbalances in the spine can lead to the development of cervical and lumbar diseases. Therefore, it is important to prioritize the protection of the spine.

6. Using a reliable Neck Massager
