Treatment of cervical spondylosis

For white-collar workers living in cities, cervical spondylosis can be said to be one of the more common diseases. In particular, many young white-collar workers in their twenties have already suffered from severe cervical spondylosis. This is related to work pressure, or even sitting in front of the computer for a long time without paying attention to one's sitting posture. So what is the treatment for cervical spondylosis? This is one of the questions many friends want to know.

In fact, the method of treating cervical spondylosis is not complicated. In addition to daily care in daily life, some exercise and even medication are also needed to alleviate such diseases. So what is the treatment for cervical spondylosis?

Treatment of cervical spondylosis

1. Exercise therapy

The main exercise method for cervical spondylosis is gymnastics. The purpose of exercise is to relax the neck, activate blood circulation in the cervical spine area, eliminate congestion and edema, stretch the neck ligaments, relax spasmodic muscles, and thus alleviate symptoms; on the other hand, it can strengthen the neck muscles, enhance its tolerance to fatigue, and improve the stability of the cervical spine, thereby consolidating the treatment effect and preventing recurrence.

2. Drug therapy

Oral medications are absorbed, digested, and broken down through the gastrointestinal tract and finally circulate through the blood before they can be delivered to the local area. Functional recovery is irreversible and bone repair is out of the question. Moreover, oral medications have more serious side effects.

3. Plaster therapy

Most Western medicine believes that there is currently no ability to reverse the pathology of cervical spondylosis, but the active ingredients of Foshoutang ointment can penetrate the skin to produce effects and completely relieve the pain. At the same time, traditional Chinese medicine believes that walnuts, cornus officinalis, raw rehmannia, black sesame, etc. have the function of nourishing the kidney marrow. They can be taken in small amounts under the guidance of a doctor to strengthen the muscles and bones and delay the degeneration of the kidneys and joints.

4. Daily care

Sit less and move more as much as possible. Don’t ride a bike if you can walk, and don’t sit in a car if you can ride a bike. Especially for car owners and those who sit in offices for long periods of time, they should take out some time every day to exercise, and pay special attention to strengthening the neck and shoulder muscles. They can do flexion, extension and rotation exercises of the head and upper limbs. This can not only relieve fatigue, but also develop muscles and enhance toughness. It is beneficial to the stability of the cervical spine and enhance the ability of the neck and shoulders to adapt to sudden changes in the neck. Hiking and swimming are effective in preventing cervical spondylosis.

Precautions

Due to long-term use of computers, the cervical spine can easily become ill due to lack of rest. If we want to do a good job of prevention, we still need to combine work and rest and not overwork ourselves.

I believe everyone already knows about the treatment methods for cervical spondylosis. Especially for white-collar workers who drive for a long time or sit in the office for a long time, it is best to take some time every day to exercise. In fact, it does not take too much time, generally half an hour or so is enough. In addition, you should go to the hospital in time and take medicine according to the doctor's instructions, which will be more helpful for the treatment of the disease.
