Cervical spondylosis

Cervical spondylosis is a type of cervical spondylosis, which is a relatively troublesome disease that affects many people, especially the elderly and those with weak constitutions, as well as office workers who often sit and use computers. The pain of cervical spondylosis is very uncomfortable, and those who have to sit and use computers at work every day do not have much time for exercise, so it will be even more painful if they do not seek treatment in time.

Cervical spondylosis can bring a lot of inconvenience to life and work, and older friends are also deeply affected. This requires us to develop good habits in daily life, try to reduce maintaining one posture, and do not sleep sitting down, especially when commuting to and from get off work. Many friends will fall asleep sitting down because they are too tired. This is wrong. Choosing a shorter pillow when sleeping will be relatively more comfortable. The following is an introduction to the relevant content of cervical spondylosis.

Pathology of cervical spondylosis:

According to the theoretical research on the pathological lesions of cervical spondylosis, the cervical spine is strained due to a series of reasons such as long-term overload, such as long-term writing, playing computer games, sleeping with a high pillow, etc., or some trauma, such as collision or falling of the cervical spine, sleeping in a car can also damage the cervical spine. This will cause physiological changes in the cervical spine over a long period of time, leading to changes in the cervical spondylosis curve. This is the pathological lesion of cervical spondylosis.

When the cervical spine becomes diseased, due to long-term or chronic strain, the injury causes cervical hematoma and forms cervical bone hyperplasia. If the cervical bone hyperplasia is not treated and the vicious cycle of the cervical spine continues, it will lead to cervical disc herniation and aggravate the pain of patients with cervical spondylosis. The treatment of cervical spondylosis is imminent.

Treatment of cervical spondylosis

Method 1: Drug treatment

Oral medications are absorbed, digested, and decomposed through the gastrointestinal tract and finally circulate through the blood before they can be delivered to the local area. The entire process requires passing through layers of barriers to reach the lesion site, but by then the efficacy of the medication has been reduced to a minimum, so the effect is extremely slow and inefficient. Moreover, the clinical application of these methods can only relieve pain symptoms, functional rehabilitation is irreversible, and bone repair is out of the question. Moreover, oral medications can cause great damage to the liver, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, choosing the Chinese medicine patch bone patch will be more effective. It can penetrate from the outer skin and the medicine can penetrate into the bone without any side effects.

Method 2: 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.

Method 3: Physical therapy

Physiotherapy is the abbreviation of physical therapy, which 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.

Method 4: Plaster treatment

Because the plaster has a high consistency, it has a series of advantages such as high content of effective ingredients, slow precipitation rate, long-lasting effect, and effective local efficacy. External application of Chinese medicine - Bone Bone Prescription Medical Patch - can penetrate the skin to produce anti-inflammatory, analgesic, blood circulation and blood stasis, dredge meridians and collaterals, open up the orifices and penetrate the bones, and dispel wind and cold. The bone plaster has the unique advantages of traditional Chinese medicine, such as safe and easy use, rapid effect, and long-lasting efficacy. It has outstanding efficacy in treating bone hyperplasia and is well received by the majority of bone hyperplasia patients!

Method 5: Surgery

The principle of surgery is mainly to relieve pressure, eliminate irritation, increase stability and prevent progressive damage. However, surgical treatment is not suitable for patients with more complications and contraindications, high risk and great pain, and systemic or local conditions that are not suitable for surgery, such as the elderly, those in poor health, or those with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, or contraindications to anesthesia.

Method 6: Mineral Spring Therapy

It is simple and easy to perform, the patient does not feel any pain during the treatment and the treatment is effective. The chemical components and various trace elements in mineral water can accelerate blood circulation, which is beneficial to increasing the repair of damaged tissues; the warming effect of mineral water can relieve pain, stop pain, reduce inflammation, and reduce swelling, and improve the symptoms of cerebral ischemia caused by vertebral artery.

Method 7: Massage

During treatment, the massage doctor uses his hands and instruments to apply different techniques on certain parts of the body or acupoints along the meridian routes and the direction of qi and blood circulation 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.

Daily care for cervical vertebrae hyperplasia

Patients with cervical spondylosis are different from those with other types of bone hyperplasia. In daily life, they need to pay more attention to protecting their head and neck. To this end, the following six aspects should be noted:

Combination of static and dynamic exercise: During the acute phase, rest should be the main focus. After the symptoms are relieved, a combination of static and dynamic exercise should be performed. Because vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis may cause dizziness, and sympathetic type cervical spondylosis may cause increased heart rate and difficulty breathing, patients with cervical spondylosis should not engage in strenuous exercise.

The pillow should be of appropriate height: Choose a pillow of appropriate height. Generally, 10 cm is appropriate. If the pillow is too high, the anterior space of the cervical vertebrae will be reduced, and the front edge of the vertebral body will be constantly rubbed, causing strain and degeneration of the intervertebral disc, compressing or irritating the nerves, blood vessels, and spinal cord, triggering or aggravating the disease.

Proper neck rest: People who work at a desk should move their head and neck appropriately to allow the muscles and ligaments of the neck to get proper rest. Workers who have one-way neck rotation, such as office workers, typists, surgeons, etc., should pay attention to changing their working positions frequently and do some neck function exercises to correct long-term improper working positions.

Correct head and neck posture: Maintain the correct head and neck posture in daily life, and insist on doing neck exercises 1-2 times a day, each time for 5-10 minutes, but avoid violent rotation.

Keep your neck warm: do physical exercise on time and keep your neck and shoulders warm.

Avoid cold water with your hands: Avoid keeping your fingers in cold water for a long time. For example, when washing dishes at home in winter, try to use hot water or wear rubber gloves.

I believe everyone knows the treatment methods for cervical spondylosis. If you have cervical spondylosis, you might as well try the above method. Developing good living habits and correct sitting posture can play an effective role in the recovery of cervical spondylosis. I hope the above method will be helpful to you.
