Does cervical ligament calcification heal itself?

Cervical ligament calcification usually does not heal itself.

Cervical ligament calcification refers to abnormal proliferation of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical spine, which reduces the volume of the spinal canal and leads to spinal cord damage. The cause of cervical ligament calcification has not been determined yet. Generally, it is related to disc degeneration, glucose metabolism disorder, trauma and genetic factors. Patients are prone to limb pain, mobility disorder and head and neck pain during the onset. Cervical ligament calcification is an irreversible injury that requires regular treatment such as drugs or surgery and is generally difficult to heal itself.

It is recommended that patients with cervical ligament calcification improve their living habits, pay more attention to rest, and exercise their neck muscles appropriately.
