Cervical spine pain is usually not involved in the thoracic spine. Cervical spondylosis is mainly due to cervical hyperosteogeny, cervical disc herniation or cervical instability, which causes stimulation and compression of the spinal cord and nerve roots, resulting in numbness and pain in the neck and shoulder, accompanied by weakness and pain in the upper limbs. Severe cases may cause muscle weakness in the lower limbs. Complex cervical spondylosis can also cause sympathetic symptoms, such as dizziness, increased heart rate, blood changes, ear pain, etc. These lesions do not cause irritation to the thoracic spine. However, among the factors that induce cervical spondylosis are long-term work with head bent at a desk. This poor posture easily produces pressure on both the cervical spine and thoracic spine, resulting in thoracic spine strain or cervical spondylosis, causing pain in the facet joints and supraspinous ligaments behind the thoracic spine.
