To treat cervical and lumbar spondylosis, you only need to press these acupoints on the back of your hand

Nowadays, many white-collar workers and students have problems with their cervical and lumbar vertebrae because they maintain the same posture for a long time while working and studying, especially when they bow their heads while working, studying, or playing with mobile phones. These are all caused by these incorrect habits, but this is completely avoidable. You should rest for about five minutes every half an hour, choose a pillow of appropriate height and hardness, and maintain a good sleeping position. Next, this article will explain to you

The principles of cervical and lumbar spondylosis.

Cervical and lumbar spondylosis refers to the corresponding symptoms and signs caused by the degeneration of the cervical and lumbar intervertebral discs and their secondary degeneration of the intervertebral joints, which cause damage to the spinal cord, nerves and blood vessels. It is one of the common diseases among the elderly. The intervertebral discs of the elderly gradually undergo degeneration, which causes the joint capsules and ligaments to loosen and the stability of the spine to decrease during movement. Further development can cause degeneration, hyperplasia and calcification of the vertebral bodies, intervertebral joints and their surrounding ligaments, and eventually lead to irritation or compression of the adjacent spinal cord, nerves and blood vessels.

It may cause soreness in the head, neck, shoulders, back, arms, stiff neck, and limited movement. Neck and shoulder pain can radiate to the occipital area and upper limbs, and may be accompanied by dizziness, headache, blurred vision, tachycardia, palpitations, and severe cases may be accompanied by dysphonia, nausea and vomiting, gastrointestinal flatulence, dysphagia, and bedriddenness. A few may experience vertigo and cataplexy. Some people have heat on one side of their face and sometimes sweat abnormally. Feeling of heaviness in the shoulders and back, weakness in the upper limbs, numbness in the fingers, decreased sensation in the skin of the limbs, inability to hold objects, and sometimes unconsciously dropping objects. Other patients experience weakness in the lower limbs, unsteady gait, numbness in both feet, and a feeling of walking on cotton. A few experience uncontrolled urination and defecation, sexual dysfunction, and even quadriplegia.

There are spine-related acupoints on the back of our hands, including acupoints for cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis, and thoracic spondylosis. They can relieve pain without massage, medication, injections, or surgery.

With the back of your right hand facing up, between the index finger and the middle finger, there are gaps between the fingers to the outside and two tendons to the inside. Follow the gaps between your fingers toward the direction of the two tendons, use the thumb of your left hand to press the groove between the two tendons and push forward until you can't push anymore. There is a physiological depression that is connected on the top and separated on the bottom. This is the acupuncture point that controls the cervical vertebrae. Press it hard! It feels sore when pressed, and the same goes for my left hand...

…

By analogy, the same position on the middle finger and ring finger is the acupoint that governs the thoracic vertebrae, and the same position on the ring finger and little finger is the acupoint that governs the lumbar vertebrae.
