What are the symptoms of spinal disease

Some bad living habits or some external factors can cause spinal diseases. Spinal diseases can cause great harm to the patient's body and have varying degrees of impact on the patient's life, work and family. When spinal diseases occur in the body, it is best to detect and treat them early, so discovering the disease is the key to treatment. Symptoms of spinal disease include:

1. Cracking sound in the neck and back

Signs of spinal disease also include a "cracking" sound when moving the cervical spine, which is caused by degeneration of the cervical facet joints, ligament calcification and other reasons. Orthopedic experts believe that human intervertebral discs begin to degenerate at the age of 20, and gradually affect the small joints of the spine. Moderate exercise in daily life can delay this degeneration. If there is a "cracking" sound in the back, it is very likely that there is a problem with the shoulder joint, and this sign should not be taken as the only sign of a problem with the spine.

2. Uncomfortable breathing

If this symptom occurs, the first thing to do is to check whether there is a problem with the respiratory system and heart. Because this symptom can occur in diseases such as lung disease and heart disease. Therefore, it is not possible to conclude whether there is a problem with the spine based on these symptoms of spinal disease.

3. The head always tilts to one side unconsciously, the body leans to one side when walking, and one leg always rests on the other leg

There are many types of cervical spondylosis. Among them, spinal cord cervical spondylosis may cause symptoms of head tilt. This type of cervical spondylosis is more serious and may lead to paralysis. This type of cervical spondylosis is relatively rare. Even so, you cannot infer that there is a problem with your spine based on this signal. Many diseases can cause symptoms of head tilt and tilted walking, such as brain diseases. As for the symptom of "always wanting to put one leg on top of the other leg", it can only be explained as a matter of habit.

4. Frequent back sprains and side stitches

Some people believe that frequent back sprains or gas problems are signs of spinal problems. In fact, this symptom does not mean that there is a lesion in the facet joints of the spine, and a doctor is needed to check and diagnose.

5. The heels of the shoes are worn unevenly

Many diseases can cause the heels of shoes to be worn unevenly. For example, knee problems such as knee varus and valgus and brain diseases such as hemiplegia can cause problems with walking posture, resulting in uneven wear of the heels of shoes. If the difference in lower limb length is greater than 2 cm, it will affect the pelvis and spine, causing uneven wear on the heels of the shoes.
