Treatment
Cervical spondylosis is the root cause of many diseases, and its degenerative disease is a long-term and slow process. It is also a difficult disease, and after the onset of the disease, a doctor needs to conduct a professional diagnosis and formulate an appropriate treatment plan.
Massage therapy for cervical spondylosis is a common treatment method that patients can accept. It has the functions of relaxing tendons and collaterals, promoting blood circulation and dissipating blood stasis, reducing swelling and pain relief, smoothing joints, repairing staggered sutures, etc. It has obvious effects on nerve root type and vertebral artery Type and sympathetic type also have certain curative effect. For cervical spondylotic myelopathy, massage therapy should be used with caution.
The fundamental principle of cervical spondylosis treatment is to restore the original normal and stable biomechanical structure of the cervical spine, the most important of which is to restore the normal physiological curvature (forward flexion) of the cervical spine. Sleeping position adjustment, proper rest and correct neck, shoulder and back muscle exercises can recover. Drugs have analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. Acupuncture, massage, and physical therapy can relieve neck muscle spasm and promote blood and lymph circulation, all of which have certain curative effects. However, these methods have no effect on restoring the normal biomechanical structure of the cervical spine. Of course, more important than treatment is daily health care, such as posture adjustment. Traction does not help the cervical spine to restore the normal biomechanical structure. And even has the disadvantage of straightening the physiological curvature of the cervical spine (forward flexion). So it should be used with caution.
