Is it good to apply hot water bag to the cervical spine every day?

Nowadays, almost everyone’s work is inseparable from computers. Many people sit in front of the computer for a whole morning. If this continues for a long time, it is very likely to cause cervical spondylosis. It is very difficult to completely cure cervical spondylosis, and most of the time it can only be adjusted through massage and medication. Some people use hot water bottles to apply to the cervical spine. So, is it good to use a hot water bottle to apply to the cervical spine?

In addition to acupuncture, needle knife, fire needle and bone setting, hot compress is also recommended as a treatment for cervical spondylosis. Many patients with cervical spondylosis are fond of hot compresses, which can relieve muscle spasms, improve local blood circulation and alleviate symptoms. Warm compresses include local hot compresses with a hot water bottle, local hot water showers during bathing, or local application of active oil and then using a hair dryer with hot air for a few minutes. Warm compresses can relieve the symptoms of cervical spondylosis to a certain extent, but applying a hot water bag to the cervical spine every day cannot cure cervical spondylosis. Do your best and don't let hot compress treatment become a burden to yourself.

Hot water bottle is good for patients with cervical spondylosis

Patients with cervical spondylosis should pay attention to neck health care. They should turn their neck more often to relieve neck muscle fatigue. In addition, they can also use a hot water bag on their neck, which has the following effects:

1. Traditional Chinese medicine says that "warmth promotes circulation, and circulation relieves pain". Hot compress has the effects of relieving pain and maintaining health, and can effectively eliminate pain in the body. Using a hot water bottle on the neck can relieve discomfort. Patients with cervical spondylosis can use a hot water bottle to effectively improve pain symptoms.

2. A hot water bottle around the neck can improve dizziness symptoms in patients with cervical spondylosis. Place a hot towel behind the head for a few minutes at a time. This can stimulate the acupoints at the back of the head, improve dizziness symptoms in some patients, and also improve the patient's reaction and thinking ability.

A hot water bottle around the neck can cure a stiff neck. For mild stiff neck, you can apply a hot towel to the affected area and do some neck exercises. Slowly bend your head forward and gently turn it forward, backward, left and right.

A hot water bottle can relieve the early symptoms of cervical spondylosis, such as stiff and sore neck or mild neck pain after catching a cold. It can promote blood circulation and relieve muscle spasms.
