Treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy

At a time when sub-health is prevalent, cervical spondylosis is also a disease that is well known to the public. Many people know that cervical spondylosis is bad, but few take measures to prevent it, so more and more people are suffering from the disease. Also, because there are no obvious dangers, many people do not care about mild symptoms. In fact, the harm of cervical spondylosis is enormous, and if it becomes serious, it will seriously affect your life and work.

As a common disease, cervical spondylosis has many types, among which cervical spondylotic myelopathy is very common. There are many ways to treat this disease, and the effect is very good if you receive treatment in time after you become ill. Treatments for cervical spondylotic myelopathy include:

1. Traction therapy

This treatment method can correct cervical instability, cervical vertebrae bone and joint displacement, cervical intervertebral space and intervertebral foramen stenosis, relieve neck muscle tension or spasm, balance neck muscle stress, and rehabilitate neck nerves and blood vessels. It is a better method for treating vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis.

2. Functional treatment

The functional treatment method is to actively perform functional exercises on the neck after manually correcting the rotation and displacement of the affected vertebra to adjust the relationship between the cervical vertebra and surrounding tissues, relieve pathological stimulation of blood vessels and nerves, improve blood circulation and metabolism in the affected area, relax muscle spasms, reduce pain, increase muscle strength and stabilize the cervical vertebra, improve blood circulation in the affected area, promote normal nerves and blood vessels, enhance muscle tension, and restore the function of the neck.

3. Manual therapy

The most obvious clinical symptom of vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis is dizziness, while vertebral displacement, joint capsule swelling, cervical instability, cervical muscle tension, imbalance of the inside and outside of the cervical spine and inflammatory changes of other soft tissues are important causes of dizziness and other symptoms in patients. Inflammatory swelling of the joint capsule, tension and pain in the cervical muscles, and limited functional movement of the neck are often caused by displacement of the affected vertebra and imbalance of internal and external stresses of the cervical spine. Timely manual reduction is required to correct the normal anatomical relationship of the cervical spine.

It should be noted here that people who sit for long periods of time at work are at high risk of cervical spondylosis. Therefore, if you need to sit and work for a long time, you need to get up and exercise from time to time to relieve fatigue. In addition, you should exercise regularly in your life to improve your resistance. Of course, good living habits also play a certain role in preventing cervical spondylosis.
