1. Medication

Analgesics, sedatives, and vitamins (such as B1, B12) can be used selectively, which have a certain effect on relieving symptoms.

2. Exercise therapy

When the symptoms of various types of cervical spondylosis are basically relieved or become chronic, medical gymnastics can be started to promote further elimination of symptoms and consolidate the therapeutic effect. During the acute onset of symptoms, local rest is recommended and increased exercise stimulation should not be increased. Exercise is contraindicated when there are more obvious or progressive symptoms of spinal cord compression, especially cervical spine bending exercises. In patients with vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis, the neck rotation movement should be gentle and slow, and the amplitude should be appropriately controlled.

3. Traction therapy

In the past, "traction" was one of the preferred methods for treating cervical spondylosis. However, in recent years, it has been found that many patients with cervical spondylosis have not had their cervical spondylosis alleviated but aggravated after using "traction", especially those who have used "traction" for a long time.
