Acupuncture treatment of cervical spondylosis

Spinal disease is one of the diseases that more and more young people suffer from nowadays. The main cause of this disease is people's unhealthy lifestyle. Due to the requirements of the current working methods, many people have to work for a long time every day, which causes long-term pressure on the vertebrae. Over time, this leads to vertebral spondylosis. Patients with vertebral spondylosis urgently need to find an effective way to treat vertebral spondylosis.

Nowadays, medicine is very advanced, and there are many methods to treat spondylosis. Some methods do play a certain role, but many methods cannot effectively solve the recurrence of the disease. In fact, acupuncture treatment in traditional Chinese medicine can achieve very good results. Let us learn about it in detail below.

There were few articles on the modern use of acupuncture to treat cervical spondylosis in the 1950s and 1960s. It was not until the late 1970s, with the development of geriatric medicine, that this disease began to receive attention from the acupuncture community at home and abroad. In less than 20 years, thousands of cases treated with acupuncture have been reported in Chinese medicine and other medical journals in our country. Various acupoint stimulation methods, such as electroacupuncture, warm needle, moxibustion with medicated cakes, bamboo cupping, acupoint laser irradiation, acupoint injection, magnetic needle, beryllium needle, etc. are used in the treatment of this disease. This work is also being carried out in foreign countries such as Romania, Japan, the United States, the Netherlands, Ireland and others. Foreign acupuncture practitioners mostly use filiform needles or electroacupuncture for treatment, and Japanese scholars also use moxibustion through ginger. The acupoints selected are mainly those on the neck and shoulders, but distant points and Ashi points are also used.

According to statistics from home and abroad, the effectiveness of acupuncture for this disease is around 90%. In order to verify the therapeutic effect, some people used electromyography to observe the effect of warm needle on cervical spondylosis and found that with the disappearance of positive signs, the fibrillation waves and positive phase waves of the electromyography at rest disappeared, the muscle strength innervated by the damaged nerves returned to normal, and the motor potential voltage also tended to normal, proving that the effect is definite.

From the above detailed introduction, it can be seen that acupuncture therapy of traditional Chinese medicine has a wide range of effects on the treatment of vertebral disease. Therefore, when patients face the problem of treating vertebral disease, they can try this method for treatment. Currently, acupuncture therapy is a relatively effective method for treating spondylosis. I hope that the above can be helpful to your health.
