Spinal activity stability, resulting in vertebral bodies, joints, joint before and after, hook vertebral joints, longitudinal ligament, yellow ligament and joint degeneration, proliferation and calcification, forming a vicious cycle of cervical segment spine instability, finally irritation of the spinal cord, nerves, blood vessels or oppression.

      2. Inflammation of the neck

      It can directly stimulate the adjacent muscles and ligaments, so that the ligaments relax, the muscle tone is reduced, and the balance of the internal and external balance of the vertebra is disordered, which destroys its stability, accelerates and promotes the occurrence and development of degenerative diseases.

      3. Congenital spinal canal stenosis of the cervical vertebra

      The vertebral arch is less than normal (14 ~ 16cm) when the vertebral arch is too short in the embryo or the development process. Thus, even if the degenerative degeneration is relatively light, the symptoms of compression can occur.

      4. Chronic strain and acute trauma

      The term "chronic fatigue" refers to the damage caused by the maximum limit or local energy tolerance of the normal physiological activity range, which is a long-term over-limit load condition. Acute trauma can aggravate the cervical vertebra and intervertebral disc that has been degenerative, and sudden cervical spondylosis. But violent injury causes cervical vertebral fracture, dislocation of the spinal cord or nerve root injury is not the category of cervical spondylosis.

      What harm does cervical vertebra disease have?

      1. The damage of cervical spondylosis to upper extremity

       4. Tachycardia

      Cervical spondylosis harm but also easy to cause the heart uncomfortable situation, it is because the fourth nerve root by the positions of cervical vertebra in the stimulation of bone hyperplasia, so the neck position change suddenly, so easy to cause our heart don't adapt to the situation.
