Cervical spondylosis causes arm muscle pain

Cervical spondylosis caused by arm muscle pain may be nerve root compression, local inflammation, long-term poor posture, degenerative changes and other causes. 1, nerve root compression cervical spondylosis, especially nerve root type cervical spondylosis, due to cervical disc herniation or hyperosteogeny and other reasons, easy to compress the nerve root. These nerve roots are responsible for controlling the muscles and sensations of the upper limbs. After compression, they will cause pain, numbness and other symptoms in the corresponding areas. 2. Local inflammation Aseptic inflammation of the cervical spine may also stimulate nerve endings and cause pain in the arm muscles. This inflammation may be caused by cervical strain, degeneration and other factors. 3, long-term bad posture If you keep bad posture for a long time, such as bow work, play mobile phone, etc., it will lead to neck muscle tension, spasm, and then cause arm muscle soreness. 4, degenerative changes With age, cervical spine will undergo degenerative changes, such as disc degeneration, bone hyperplasia, etc. These changes may compress nerve roots, causing arm muscle pain. Treatment methods are as follows: 1. Drug therapy Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as celecoxib and diclofenac are used to relieve pain and inflammation. Neurotrophic drugs such as vitamin B1 and mecobalamin are used to promote nerve repair and relieve nerve compression symptoms. Muscle relaxants such as eperisone are used to relieve muscle tension and spasm. 2, physical therapy cervical massage: help to relieve neck muscle tension and spasm, improve blood circulation. Traction treatment through traction cervical spine, reduce nerve root compression symptoms. Cervical collar fixed to limit cervical movement, help relieve nerve root compression. Local hot compress, infrared radiation, promote local blood circulation, relieve pain and inflammation. 3. Surgical treatment If cervical spondylosis is serious and drug therapy and physical therapy are ineffective, surgery can be considered. Surgical methods include decompression, etc., aiming at relieving spinal and nerve compression. It is recommended that patients should choose appropriate treatment methods according to the specific conditions and severity of the patient during treatment, and follow the doctor's advice for standardized treatment. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to improve living habits and posture, strengthen exercise and warm measures to promote the recovery of the disease and prevent recurrence.
