How is cervical spondylosis treated?

summary

Cervical spondylosis, also known as local cervical spondylosis, has pain in head, shoulder, neck and arm and corresponding tenderness points. There is no obvious degenerative change such as intervertebral space stenosis on X-ray film, but there can be changes in physiological curve of cervical spine, instability of vertebral body and mild bone hyperplasia. How is cervical spondylosis treated? Next, I'd like to share my views with you.

How is cervical spondylosis treated?

The physiological curvature of cervical spine is not invariable. With the growth of age, cervical spine will appear degenerative changes, cervical bone hyperplasia, so that the cervical curvature changes, and even make the cervical curvature straight or reverse bending. Moreover, when people have long-term improper posture, bad living habits, such as long-term head down work, sleep high pillow or neck injury, exogenous cold, the physiological curvature of cervical spine is also easy to change. The change or disappearance of cervical curvature often means poor stability of vertebral body, narrowing of intervertebral space, narrowing of intervertebral foramen, degeneration of vertebral body, compression of nerve and chronic injury of cervical extensor muscle. In addition, the disappearance of cervical curvature will also lead to hypertrophy of ligamentum flavum, injury of cervical ligament, injury of muscles around vertebral body, and then induce cervical lesions. At this time, people are likely to have head, neck, shoulder and back pain or numbness, and even incontinence, paralysis and a series of cervical syndrome.

Especially the neck shoulder back muscle exercise, the correct exercise can strengthen muscle strength, strengthen the normal cervical physiological curvature, increase the stability of cervical biomechanical structure, and promote the circulation of blood and lymph, which is conducive to the recovery of cervical spondylosis.

Traction: belongs to muscle traction therapy, which can effectively relax the contracture muscle and fascia, so as to improve the clinical symptoms and restore the physiological curvature of cervical spine; Small needle knife treatment: can quickly release contracture and spasm of myofascial. In the treatment of cervical spondylosis, physical therapy can play a variety of roles. It is generally believed that iontophoresis, ultrasound, ultraviolet or intermittent current can be used in acute phase; After pain relief, ultrasound, iodine ion penetration, induction electricity or other hyperthermia were used.

matters needing attention

Pay attention to your sitting position and sleeping position. Don't sleep on too high a pillow at night. And don't put too much pressure on yourself. Keep happy every day. Go out more, get more air and exercise. If you play mobile phones at home all day, you will feel depressed and bored. Go and cultivate your hobbies.
