How to treat cervical spondylosis through massage?

Nowadays, many white-collar workers need to sit in the office for a long time, and sometimes they may sit for a whole morning. This may cause them to suffer from cervical spondylosis. The occurrence of cervical spondylosis is closely related to people's living habits and occupations. When people suffer from cervical spondylosis, they often use Chinese medicine massage. So how can patients with cervical spondylosis be treated through Chinese medicine massage?

Some physical therapy is a good treatment method. When conditions are good, you can use electrotherapy, wax therapy, mud therapy, hydrotherapy, and ultrashort wave. The better method is aged vinegar ion introduction, which has better results. When conditions are limited, using a hot water bottle or hot towel for wet compress or taking a hot bath is also beneficial. It can increase local blood circulation, relieve local muscle spasms, and have a certain analgesic effect.

Tui na massage is a good way to treat cervical spondylosis. If there are no special contraindications, you can use acupressure, massage, lifting and shaking, dragging and turning, side pushing, stretching and neck compression, shoulder pulling and neck compression and other treatment methods according to the condition. It can relax tense muscles and relieve compression of nerve roots.

When conditions permit, cervical traction therapy can be applied. Cervical traction can widen the spaces between the cervical vertebrae and enlarge the neural foramina, thereby reducing or eliminating compression on the cervical nerve roots. When performing cervical traction, you can choose an appropriate traction bed, prop up the head with a pillow, adjust the pillow height and the pulley position, and keep the neck at 35-40 degrees from the horizontal plane. Only in this way can the traction force reach the synovial joints and articular processes. Otherwise, the traction force will only fall on the trachea and esophagus. The traction weight is set according to the condition and the patient's tolerance.
