A bad cervical spine can lead to paralysis, what is going on?

When they are in a car accident, it is easy to have their head slammed forward after hitting the object**, resulting in excessive neck tilt, and suddenly acute and strong pressure on our spinal cord, eventually leading to paralysis or high paraplegia! There are seven types of cervical spondylosis, among which the mildest symptoms are "cervical spondylosis", the most complex symptoms are "sympathetic cervical spondylosis", and the most serious is "cervical myelopathy", which can lead to paralysis. Vertebral artery type:

The main manifestations are migraine, tinnitus, hearing loss, visual impairment, palpitations, palpitations, arrhythmias, sudden vertigo and cataplexy. Memory loss may be accompanied by neck pain, posterior occipital pain, and limited neck movement.

<> simply understood that when the brain sends out motor commands such as lifting legs and raising hands, it needs to be transmitted through the spinal cord. When the spinal cord is damaged and unable to transmit the instructions sent by the brain, it is difficult for the limbs to move, and paralysis may occur. Cervical myelopathy is characterized by weakness in both lower limbs, unsteady walking, a feeling of picking cotton under the feet, and cold, cold, or fever in both lower limbs.

As the spinal cord becomes more compressed, avascular necrosis can lead to monoplegia, diplegia, and quadriplegia. This is called mixed cervical spondylosis. Clinically, cervical spondylosis type 1 is the main type, and other types are also seen.

Injuries to the cervical spine are usually not just one tissue, but multiple tissues at the same time.

We usually use the natural curvature cervical traction device to maintain the cervical spine, and pull the vertebral joints apart according to the physiological curvature of the cervical spine from the bottom to the top through the air bag, increase the joint space, decompress the intervertebral disc, and facilitate the retraction of the protrusion. In this way, the subcutaneous tissue is driven to move with the thumb, and it is better for the patient to feel soreness, and at the same time, the patient is instructed to move the cervical spine slowly, (forward flexion, backward extension, rotation, lateral flexion) can alleviate neck dysfunction. The diagnosis of cervical spondylosis must have imaging changes such as MRI of cervical spine lesions, and at the same time, there must be corresponding clinical manifestations at the same time, both of which are indispensable to confirm the diagnosis.

Diagnosis cannot be made on the basis of one alone.

In the early stage, you may feel numbness in the limbs, the cervical spine is actually a place where the central nervous system spreads downward, if the cervical spondylosis is severe, it will cause loss of sensation below the neck, and even affect the hands, legs, and the whole body can only move the head.

Among cervical spondylosis, cervical myelopathy is the most serious and has a very high disability rate. Patients often have unilateral or bilateral upper limb numbness, weakness, difficulty in writing or holding objects, unilateral or bilateral lower limb weakness, heaviness, and some patients are so severe that they have a feeling of stepping on cotton when walking. More severe cases may experience urinary and urinary dysfunction, difficulty walking, and even paralysis.

Patients with cervical spondylosis will first have stiffness of the lower limbs, unsteady walking, and lightheadedness when walking. Cervical spondylosis is a chronic degenerative disease, including many types, the general type of cervical spondylosis will not cause paralysis, but the cervical spondylosis of the spinal type due to the protrusion of the intervertebral disc backwards, the cervical bone hyperplasia, the ligamentum flavum hypertrophy and calcification, the cervical spinal canal becomes narrow, directly compressing the spinal nerves, thus causing the conduction function of the cervical spinal nerves to be dysfunctional, so that the phenomenon of paralysis will occur.

Cervical spondylosis is a common bone disease, and when it is severe, it can also affect people's physical movements. If cervical spondylosis progresses, it is likely to cause paralysis.

Yes, if cervical spondylosis is very severe, it will indeed affect the body and easily lead to paralysis, and the cervical spine is a very critical part of the body.

Can cervical spondylosis cause paralysis? The answer is yes, of course. Severe cervical spondylosis can cause high paraplegia, a place where the central nervous system in the brain travels downward.

If the cervical spondylosis is severe, compressing the spinal cord will lead to loss of sensation from the neck downward, and even the activity of the hands will be affected, breathing will be affected, not to mention the lower limbs, so cervical spondylosis will cause paralysis, and it is high paraplegia, and the consequences are very serious. This person can't walk, can't hold things with his hands, and only his head can move his whole body, and he can't move his neck down, so cervical spondylosis can cause paralysis, and everyone must pay attention to protecting the cervical spine. In addition, try to avoid rear-end collisions when driving, as whiplash-like injuries caused by rear-end collisions will lead to more serious injuries to the spinal cord of the cervical spine.

In particular, some people are born with spinal stenosis, and even in the absence of severe cervical spondylosis, such whiplash injuries can cause severe spinal cord injury and even high paraplegia.
