Can frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis occur at the same time, and how to distinguish them?

With the development of science and technology and the prosperity of the economy, computers and mobile phones have become the standard for young people, and more and more young people are suffering from frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis. However, since the symptoms of the two diseases are highly similar in many ways, many people do not know which disease they have. In fact,Frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis are two kinds of diseases, which are formed in different ways, and some people suffer from two diseases at the same time without knowing it

Therefore, it is important to correctly understand and distinguish between frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis.

1. The similarity of frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis Frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis are generally more common in middle-aged and elderly people, but due to how long modern people use computers or mobile phones, many low-headed people are also joining this ranks. Recent data show that the incidence of frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis has skewed towards young people, and is no longer exclusive to middle-aged and elderly people. Symptoms of frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis are manifested in the shoulders and neck.

People with frozen shoulder develop in the shoulder, but in more severe cases, the pain radiates to the neck and occipital region. Cervical spondylosis is similar, and in more severe cases, there will be pain in the neck and shoulders.

2. The difference between frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis is that cervical spondylosis generally has few tender points, and the symptoms are neck mobility disorders and pain, but shoulder movement is not restricted. The pain of cervical spondylosis is electrically shocked, radial, and accompanied by symptoms such as numbness in the fingers and cold limbs. Patients with frozen shoulder will have tender points in the tendons and joint capsule, and the motor function of the shoulder joint is limited, but the neck can move freely.

Frozen shoulder begins with shoulder pain, which is usually caused by a shoulder injury or cold. The pain of frozen shoulder is dull, like a knife cut, and is worse at night than during the day.

It is important to emphasize that it is possible for frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis to coexist. Some cervical spondylosis can also cause frozen shoulder, which we call "neck and shoulder syndrome". Therefore, when we are unwell, we must not judge by experience, but still seek medical attention as soon as possible to clarify the symptoms.

It is possible to suffer at the same time, the shoulder and neck are connected, if the shoulder and neck strain is too severe, it will lead to two at the same time, cervical spondylosis mainly occurs in the cervical vertebrae below the neck, and frozen shoulder mainly occurs in both shoulders.

Frozen shoulder is generally the shoulder muscles are very tight, cervical spondylosis is mainly discomfort in the neck and occipital region, and severe headache and nausea.

Frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis can also occur at the same time. There are many ways to distinguish between the pain area, cervical spondylosis, which generally does not exceed the highest bone in the shoulder, and in the case of frozen shoulder, the local pain will be around the shoulder joint.

Cervical spondylosis can cause great harm to human health, such as neck and shoulder pain, dizziness, headache, insomnia, tinnitus, etc. If you want to prevent and ** cervical spondylosis, and achieve good results, you should first understand the causes of its onset. So, what are the causes of cervical spondylosis?

1. Bow your head for a long time.

Some people in special occupations are engaged in occupations with long-term bowing or fixed neck postures, such as draftsmen, computer operators, writing, sculpture and other occupations, due to the need to work with their heads bowed for a long time every day, resulting in continuous fatigue of the neck joint, which accelerates the degeneration of the cervical spine and the strain of soft tissues, so that they are more likely to suffer from cervical spondylosis.

2. Smoking. Smoking is also a risk factor for cervical spondylosis. Nicotine and other harmful components contained in smoke can cause capillary spasm, affect the blood supply to the cervical vertebrae, and also cause intervertebral disc degeneration, resulting in intervertebral disc herniation.

3. Poor sleeping posture.

Maintaining one side in the lying position for a long time can lead to cervical scoliosis, which can affect the health of the cervical spine. The pillow used when sleeping is too high and the posture is poor, which can lead to uneven or uneven internal stress on the intervertebral disc, loss of balance between muscles and joints, and accelerate the degeneration of cervical joints. In addition, lying on the sofa for a long time to watch TV or play mahjong can also cause greater pressure on the cervical spine and surrounding tissues, causing strain.

4. Drive for a long time.

The driver's neck is in the same position for a long time when driving, which can cause the neck muscles to be in a tense state for a long time, and will also put greater pressure on the cervical intervertebral disc. Intervertebral discs and intervertebral joints degenerate faster than normal people, which can also lead to cervical spondylosis. Similarly, frequent sudden braking while driving can also cause cervical spondylosis.

5. Cold neck.

Cold in the cervical spine is also one of the causes of cervical spondylosis. Many women wear suspenders in air-conditioned rooms, which can easily chill the neck and back muscles, leading to the occurrence of cervical spondylosis.

Difference Between Frozen Shoulder and Cervical Spondylosis

Frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis both belong to a kind of bone disease, so there is a great similarity between the two in life, so it is usually confused with him, some people let's take a look at the difference between frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis.

Difference Between Frozen Shoulder and Cervical Spondylosis

The location of the pain is different, generally speaking, the shoulder pain caused by cervical spondylosis is usually not more than the fastest bone in the shoulder, and when the pain occurs, he is mainly from the neck pain and the neck and trapezius muscles, if Pivo said that it affects the nerves, it will have numbness of the lateral limbs.

He will not cause limited movement of the shoulder, and frozen shoulder is mainly prone to middle-aged and elderly people, so it may still lead to limited movement of the shoulder joint, and its main pain is the shoulder joint with the spike grip gradually develops, becomes limited activity, and even more severe, it will also lead to muscle atrophy.

Generally speaking, if the shoulder pain, he will not cause numbness in the shoulder, although the shoulder pain can radiate to the upper arm, but it will never let go of his forearm and arm, and it will not cause numbness and muscle atrophy and weakness in the arm, but if he talks about cervical spondylosis, he may have this situation, cervical spondylosis, he can induce frozen shoulder because of muscle edema caused by a neuropathic nutrition of the shoulder muscles for a long time, but frozen shoulder he will never induce the occurrence of cervical spondylosis.

The difference between frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis is actually relatively obvious, so we must distinguish between the two at the beginning of the disease, and treat some diseases that occur correctly in the right way.

5. Cervical spondylosis has no tender points in the shoulder, but tenderness in the shoulder, back and neck, such as paravertebral muscles and neck muscles at the attachment of the occipital bone, trapezius muscle, supraspinatus muscle, infraspinatus muscle, levator scapulae, rhomboid muscle and teres muscle majority, etc. Frozen shoulder is most common in the tender points of the long and short head of the biceps brachii attached to the shoulder and along the anterior and posterior deltoid or deltoid humeral segments, and there may be tender points between the acromion of the supraspinatus tendon and the prepubertal tubercle of the humerus shirt, and in some cases, there are tender points in the trapezius, infraspinatus, teres minor, etc.

6. Although both frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis will cause painful symptoms, the pain site of cervical spondylosis is mainly in the back of the neck; Whereas, the pain of frozen shoulder is around the shoulder joint.

7. When cervical spondylosis develops to a severe degree, there will be paralysis of the body below the neck, and the symptoms of spinal cord compression continue to worsen or suddenly intensify; When frozen shoulder progresses to a severe degree, it is mainly characterized by the inability of the affected arm to move normally, and does not lead to paralysis of the whole body.

8. The ** of frozen shoulder is mainly conservative, and baking electricity, acupuncture, and occlusive injections all help to alleviate the symptoms; In the early stage of cervical spondylosis, good results can be achieved through physiotherapy, traction and other methods. If it is advanced cervical spondylosis, surgery** is required to alleviate the condition.

Introduction: Many people will not distinguish between frozen shoulder and cervical spondylitis, in fact, they are easier to distinguish, because one occurs near the shoulder of the person, and the other is near the cervical spine of the person, so you have to figure out the location, and there will be some differences at this time. So let's follow along to understand the difference between them.

In fact, we can make a distinction in the parts of the body, because frozen shoulder occurs in people's shoulders for two weeks, and at this time there will be pain for a week, this time it is frozen shoulder, and you have neck pain, this time it is cervical spondylosis, so you must figure out the location in **, so it is a good distinction. And we can also distinguish in age, and the age at which they occur is generally between 40 and 60 years old, especially the time when cervical spondylitis occurs, during this time period.

The age group for which frozen shoulder is generally high is between the ages of 40 and 4. And we also have to know that their disease types are also different, cervical spondylitis is divided into cervical artery type, cervical spondylitis, but also divided into neuropathic cervical spondylitis and some crossover cervical spondylitis and myelotype cervical spondylitis. And we will find that there are two main types of frozen shoulder, this is primary frozen shoulder and secondary shoulder stiffness, so its types are two types.

And we have to know that their ** is also different, frozen shoulder It is formed due to the degeneration of some tissues, so it is not clear.

There are many causes of cervical spondylosis, which may be caused by some injuries, improper posture or long-term work overwork, and excessive neck movement. So in normal times, we can also find these two conditions, its symptoms are also different, cervical spondylitis it will have a neck soreness, but also there will be dizziness, numbness and weakness, and frozen shoulder it is mainly due to pain, so some joints are restricted and muscle spasms occur, so their symptoms are also different.

For the difference between cervical spondylitis and frozen shoulder, one is that the location of the patient's pain is different. Patients with cervical spondylitis only present with significant pain in the back of the neck. It is accompanied by limited neck movement, while frozen shoulder is mainly associated with significant pain, tenderness, and limited shoulder lift function around the shoulder joint.

The location of the pain is different, the drugs used are different, the methods are different, the causes are different, and the symptoms are different, which are all differences between the two diseases.

The location is different, the way is different, the damage is different, the impact on the human body is different, and the drugs used are different.
