Can cervical spondylosis be cured by physical therapy?

I believe that more and more people have heard of physical therapy as a treatment method, which mainly uses some physical techniques to treat and prevent certain diseases on the human body. Physical therapy in some clinical medicine has also been proven to have a certain therapeutic effect on the human body. Patients with cervical spondylosis often look for many ways to treat their cervical spondylosis. There are many ways to treat cervical spondylosis, but can physical therapy be used to treat cervical spondylosis?

Cervical vertebra pathology treatment:

Physiotherapy refers to the use of artificial or natural physical factors to act on the human body to cause it to produce beneficial reactions, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing and treating diseases. The key is to improve blood circulation, accelerate metabolism, promote the repair of lesions, reduce inflammation and relieve pain, relieve symptoms of nerve compression and irritation, and relieve spasms of the muscles around the cervical spine. At this point, everyone knows that physical therapy is mainly used to relieve the early symptoms of cervical spondylosis, especially the symptoms of the neck and shoulders, but the effect is not so certain for the symptoms of nerve and spinal cord compression.

Physical therapy can relieve inflammation in the neck and shoulders. Both physical therapy and heat therapy can increase blood circulation in the treated part of the body and reduce edema, which means they can relieve local inflammation and reduce the patient's pain. If the patient's spinal nerves are stimulated, there will be some edema around them, and physical therapy can also slightly reduce the edema. If the patient has sympathetic nerve stimulation and autonomic dysfunction, physical therapy can also regulate the autonomic dysfunction and relieve the patient's symptoms.

Patients with cervical spondylosis should not blindly do massage:

Many patients with cervical spondylosis feel very comfortable after massage, so they want to choose Chinese medicine massage. However, it is not recommended for all patients with cervical spondylosis to undergo massage, because massage may aggravate neurological symptoms (such as pain, numbness, etc.) in patients with severe radiculopathy.

Regular Chinese medicine hospitals will ask patients to undergo MRI and other examinations first to determine the severity of the patient's condition. If the cervical spondylosis is very mild, with only discomfort in the neck and shoulders and no nerve compression, you can have massage. However, if the condition is already serious, massage may make it worse.

The effect of TCM dialectical treatment of cervical spondylosis is good:

The classic treatment principle of traditional Chinese medicine: prevention before illness occurs and prevention of progression after illness occurs. This is especially important for the prevention and treatment of cervical spondylosis. Prevention before illness means that when cervical spondylosis has not yet developed, you should pay attention to prevention. Correct cervical exercise and health care are very important. If you have cervical spondylosis, you need to pay more attention to it. Regular treatment can effectively control the disease and cure cervical spondylosis.

Advantages of TCM acupuncture and treatment based on syndrome differentiation:

1. The treatment time is short and the local damage is small.

2. Change open surgery to closed treatment.

3. Avoid the trauma caused by open surgery and sequelae such as postoperative re-adhesion.

4. It has unique advantages in treating various orthopedic diseases and traumatic pain. Through dialectical treatment, it has the advantages of good efficacy and long-term effect.
