How to treat dizziness caused by cervical spondylosis?

Cervical spondylosis is usually caused by poor posture and causes pain, which can be improved through conditioning. Cervical spondylosis has many complications, such as dizziness. Dizziness caused by cervical spondylosis can be treated with medication, and patients should also pay attention to rest. Massage can also relieve dizziness.

1. Medication

You can choose some vasodilator drugs: such as danshen tablets, nicotinic acid, kallikrein, dibazole, etc., which can dilate blood vessels and improve blood supply to blood vessels. The main reason why cervical spondylosis induces dizziness is that it affects the vertebral artery and blood supply to the head. Therefore, patients with cervical spondylosis and dizziness are often given some vasodilator drugs. You can also choose some analgesics, sedatives, or vitamins, and muscle-relaxing drugs for treatment, which can have a certain effect on relieving pain.

2. Traction therapy

For some patients with deterioration of the physiological curvature of the cervical spine or more serious intervertebral disc herniation, scientific and correct traction still has a good therapeutic effect, relieving vertebral artery compression and thus eliminating symptoms. Use traditional Chinese medicine external plasters to easily solve pain. Cervical traction mainly relieves neck muscle spasms, relieves pain symptoms, increases intervertebral space and intervertebral foramen, facilitates the repositioning of protruding nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus tissue, relieves and relieves compression and stimulation of nerve roots, promotes the absorption of nerve root edema, relieves compression on the vertebral artery, promotes blood circulation, and relieves dizziness symptoms.

3. Change bad sleeping habits

If patients with cervical spondylosis want to relieve the symptoms of dizziness, they need to change their bad sleeping habits. Generally speaking, the height of the pillow is about 12 cm when lying on your back, and it is the same height as the shoulder when lying on your side. However, the height of the pillow varies from person to person, and it is generally best to have it as high as your fist. There are certain requirements for the pillow core. The filling of the pillow core should be soft and delicate, and it is best to have a shape that is low in the middle and high on both sides, so as to maintain the physiological curvature of the cervical spine.

4. Change bad work habits

Many cases of cervical spondylosis are caused by bad working habits. Many people work with their heads down for a long time or work in a fixed posture, which makes it easy for them to develop cervical spondylosis. For this type of patients, the height of the workbench and chair should be adjusted first so that they are proportional to each other to avoid lowering the head excessively. The workbench or table can be appropriately higher, but not too low. It is best to use a semi-sloped work table.
