In life, the incidence of lumbar spondylosis is very high. When treating lumbar spondylosis, the method of hot compress with traditional Chinese medicine is most often chosen by people. So, what are the methods for treating cervical spondylosis? Massage method: Massage is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine. There is no need for medication or injections during treatment. The massage doctor only needs to use his hands and simple instruments to apply different techniques to certain parts of the body or acupoints along the meridians and the direction of the flow of qi and blood to achieve the treatment goal. However, massage is prohibited during the acute phase or acute attack period, otherwise it will aggravate the inflammation and edema of the nerve roots and intensify the pain. Cervical spondylosis is accompanied by fractures, bone and joint structure disorders, osteoarthritis, severe senile osteoporosis, etc. Massage can destroy bones and spread infection, so this therapy should be prohibited. Surgical method: The principle of surgery is mainly to relieve pressure, eliminate irritation, increase stability and prevent progressive damage. However, surgery has many complications and contraindications. Patients with high risks, great pain, and systemic or local conditions that are not suitable for surgery, such as the elderly, those in poor health, those with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases or diabetes, or those with contraindications to anesthesia, are not suitable for surgical treatment. Physiotherapy: Physiotherapy is the abbreviation of physical therapy. It is the application of various natural and artificial physical factors, such as sound, light, electricity, heat, magnetism, etc., to the human body in order to achieve the purpose of treating and preventing diseases. But its effect is also relatively weak and cannot provide a fundamental treatment. Frequent physical therapy can easily cause burns to the skin and even lead to cancer. Traction method: Through the mutual balance between traction and counter-traction, the head and neck are relatively fixed in the physiological curve state, so that the phenomenon of abnormal cervical curve is gradually changed. However, its therapeutic effect is limited and it is only suitable for patients with mild symptoms. In the acute stage, traction is prohibited to prevent local inflammation and edema from worsening. Activities are restricted during the traction period. |
