Why does the cervical vertebra turn black and purple after cupping?

For patients with cervical spondylosis, cupping is a good method of physical therapy. Although there is no way to completely cure cervical spondylosis, it can relieve pain, relieve symptoms of soreness and swelling, help promote blood circulation in the cervical spine, and prevent brain hypoxia. When cupping the cervical spine, if the cup mouth is found to be black and purple, this often indicates that the cervical spondylosis is more serious, indicating that the cervical spine is insufficiently supplied with blood and menstruation is not smooth.

What are the conservative treatments for cervical spondylosis? 1. Physical therapy. Physical therapy is usually referred to as physiotherapy. It mainly applies natural and various artificial physical factors to the human body to achieve the purpose of treating diseases such as cervical spondylosis. This type of method can also be used clinically to prevent the occurrence of diseases. Magnetism, light, heat, sound, electricity, as well as neck and waist protection products made of nanomaterials, special materials, magnets, etc. can all be used in physical therapy.

2. Traction method. Traction is also widely used in the non-surgical treatment of cervical spondylosis. It mainly uses the interaction between traction and counter-traction to gradually change the cervical misalignment and restore the patient's neck to its normal physiological curvature. However, this therapy is only suitable for patients with mild symptoms. If traction is performed in the acute phase, it may cause local inflammation and edema in patients. 3. Massage. Massage is also one of the non-surgical treatments for cervical spondylosis. It mainly uses simple instruments and doctors' direct massage on certain parts and acupoints of the human body to achieve the purpose of treating the disease, avoiding the pain and side effects brought to patients by injections, medication, etc. However, massage is prohibited for patients who are in the acute attack stage, acute stage, or have symptoms such as bone and joint structure disorders.

Everyone should understand the treatment of this disease as soon as possible, and pay attention to reasonable health care, comprehensive conditioning, functional exercise, and comprehensive body care to avoid causing more impacts. At the same time, attention should also be paid to health care matters and effective diet to avoid causing more harm. I hope that patients can receive comprehensive treatment according to the doctor's advice.
