What happens if headaches caused by cervical spondylosis are not treated?

Cervical spondylosis often causes symptoms such as headache and dizziness. This is mainly because cervical spondylosis causes abnormal functioning of the nervous system, which can cause poor blood circulation and brain hypoxia, thus causing these symptoms. For patients with more serious cervical spondylosis, if they do not pay attention to timely treatment, it can easily lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cause severe insomnia, and even paraplegia.

1. Affecting the harm to the body

Cervical spondylosis is caused by the compression of the vertebrae by edema around the neck, which leads to insufficient blood supply to other parts of the body, the neck and the head. It often causes dizziness, headache, cervical pain, bone spurs and other common symptoms, which directly affect the damage to the body. These symptoms can affect the muscles of the neck and the whole body, which may be beneficial to the recovery of cervical spondylosis.

2. Severe cervical spondylosis can cause sub-health

Sometimes it can also cause premature aging of the body, irritability, memory loss, dizziness, tinnitus, etc., seriously affecting people's quality of life.

3. Incontinence

Some people think that cervical spondylosis is nothing more than some neck and shoulder pain, which feels like nothing and is easily ignored. However, once cervical spondylosis reaches the late stage, severe cases can pose a risk of paralysis to the human body. Sometimes it may cause incontinence and hallucinations, so it is important to prevent it early.

4. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

Depending on the body's condition, cervical spondylosis may cause high or low blood pressure, and in severe cases may cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

5. Severe insomnia

Many patients often suffer from severe insomnia, with unbearable pain in the cervical spine in the middle of the night. They cannot fall asleep even when lying down, and sometimes they just sit on the sofa to sleep all night. The saying goes that when you hit a snake, you hit it at the seven-inch point. The cervical vertebra is exactly at that seven-inch point of the body. Once there is a problem with the cervical vertebra, the whole body will feel uncomfortable.

Sleeping with a high pillow at night will also cause the cervical spine to flex. If this continues for a long time, it will increase cervical strain. When reading, you naturally have to lower your head towards the book. If you place the book at an angle using a stand, you can raise your head slightly and you don't have to bend your neck for a long time.
