Can the cervical spine cause chest pain?

If cervical spondylosis occurs in a person, it will not only cause cervical pain, because the cervical spine is related to many parts of the body. Common cervical spondylosis patients will experience symptoms of shoulder, neck, dizziness and blurred vision, but some cervical spondylosis patients find that they also feel a dull pain in the chest when cervical spondylosis occurs. Can cervical spondylosis, a joint disease, cause chest pain in the human body?

Cervical spondylosis can cause local pain in the shoulders and neck, but generally does not cause chest pain. If chest pain occurs, other causes need to be checked.

Now, cervical spondylosis can be treated through traction, massage and acupuncture. In addition, the chest can be checked to see if there is breast hyperplasia or other lesions, and then symptomatic medication can be used for treatment.
