Are there any side effects of acupuncture for the cervical spine?

Nowadays, people don’t like to exercise and sit for a long time, which can easily cause cervical spine diseases. Although cervical spondylosis is not life-threatening, it can often cause discomfort such as neck pain. Acupuncture for the cervical spine is a good treatment that can quickly relieve the symptoms of neck pain. However, some people may worry about the aftereffects. Next, let’s take a look at whether acupuncture for the cervical spine will have any side effects?

Acupuncture is one of the conventional treatment measures in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is mainly used as an auxiliary treatment for painful diseases and common internal medicine diseases. It usually has no sequelae. After acupuncture treatment, be careful to avoid wind and do not take a bath in the short term. If reactions such as needle dizziness occur during acupuncture, treatment should be stopped immediately and the patient should be closely observed. There will generally be no sequelae.

Acupuncture can treat cervical spondylosis, mainly improving a series of symptoms of cervical spondylosis. The symptoms of cervical spondylosis mainly include discomfort and pain in the neck and some radiating pain in the neck and shoulders. In severe cases, dizziness and general discomfort may occur. These symptoms can be improved through acupuncture. The main functions of acupuncture are to dredge meridians, promote qi and blood circulation, and relieve pain. Acupuncture can improve local qi and blood and achieve therapeutic effects.

Diseases of the cervical and lumbar spine are all problems with our spine, which can cause compression of the surrounding nerves and soft tissues, leading to symptoms such as inflammation, numbness, and dizziness. Acupuncture and some conservative related treatments can relieve inflammation and produce certain good results in the short term, but the real spinal problems are not solved at all. While treating cervical spondylosis, some incorrect and bad habits should also be corrected. For example, reading books or playing computer games for a long time may cause the cervical spine to become inactive, or you like to use high pillows when sleeping. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for a CT scan and then receive symptomatic treatment. Ways to relieve the symptoms include using hot towels, sleeping with low pillows, and increasing physical exercise. If the pain is very uncomfortable, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for intravenous drip of Xuesetong to reduce inflammation.
