Cervical spondylosis can cause vertigo

　　Normally, the vertebral artery running through the foramen transverse process of cervical spine can affect the blood supply of one side of the vertebral artery by turning its head, but the other side of the vertebral artery can compensate for it without any discomfort. However, when the uncinated vertebral joints above the neck proliferate, the vertebral artery can be directly squeezed and the lumen becomes smaller, thus affecting the blood flow of the artery. Especially, the transverse foramen of the 5th cervical vertebra is close to the vertebral body, which is more likely to cause the compression of the vertebral artery. It can also cause reflex vasospasm by stimulating the sympathetic nerve at the same place, which further affects the blood supply of the vertebral artery. On the basis of the above pathological changes, whenever the head rotates or flexes, it is easy to aggravate the stimulation and compression of the vertebral artery, coupled with the weakening of the contralateral vertebral artery compensatory, temporary cerebral blood supply disorders will occur, thus leading to vertigo and other symptoms.

　　Vertigo caused by cervical spondylosis is genuine vertigo, which can be accompanied by headache, malignancy, vomiting, tinnitus, dizziness, memory loss and other phenomena. Vertigo caused by cervical spondylosis often occurs when the head or neck rotates. When the patient feels dizzy and turns the head or neck back to its original position, the vertigo symptoms can disappear. Some patients will be afraid of turning their heads and bending sideways for a long time. Whenever they need to turn back, they always rely on the whole body's rotation instead of simply turning their heads. This is the biggest difference between vertigo caused by cervical spondylosis and other causes. In patients with cervical spondylosis with vertigo symptoms, cervical X-ray examination can observe the uncinate joint hyperplasia, narrow intervertebral foramen and cervical physiological radian changes. Magnetic resonance angiography of the cervical spine can reveal the manifestations of vertebral artery blood flow disorders. Brain Doppler examination can reveal the manifestations of cerebral ischemia.

　　Learning and working for a period of time, such as half an hour or an hour later, can do relaxation exercises, such as chest enlargement exercise.

　　You can also go online to see the video of meter-character gymnastics, which is effective for most patients with cervical spondylosis. It's important to learn to stick to it, spend 10 minutes a day, it will gradually improve your symptoms, and eventually there is hope of recovery.

　　Don't bow your head for a long time to play with your cell phone.

　　Lying in bed, playing with mobile phones and reading books are bad habits.
