Treatment of symptoms of cervical spondylosis

summary

Cervical spondylosis, also known as cervical syndrome, is the general name of cervical osteoarthritis, proliferative cervical spondylitis, cervical nerve root syndrome and cervical disc prolapse. It is a disease based on degenerative pathological changes. Mainly due to long-term cervical strain, bone hyperplasia, or intervertebral disc prolapse, ligament thickening, resulting in cervical spinal cord, nerve root or vertebral artery compression, a series of dysfunction of clinical syndrome. The symptom that treats cervical vertebra disease? Let's talk about it

Treatment of symptoms of cervical spondylosis

Selective use of analgesics, sedatives, vitamins (such as B1, B12) can relieve symptoms to a certain extent. Glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate can be used as support therapy. Glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate are used in the treatment of osteoarthritis in all parts of the body. These cartilage protectants have anti-inflammatory and anti cartilage decomposition effects to a certain extent. Basic studies have shown that glucosamine can inhibit the production of inflammatory factors by spinal nucleus pulposus cells, and promote the synthesis of glycosaminoglycan, a component of intervertebral disc cartilage matrix. Clinical studies have found that injecting glucosamine into the intervertebral disc can significantly reduce the low back pain caused by degenerative disc disease, and improve the spinal function. Some cases reported that oral glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate can reverse the degenerative changes of intervertebral disc to a certain extent.

When the symptoms of various types of cervical spondylosis are basically relieved or in a chronic state, medical gymnastics can be started to promote the further elimination of symptoms and consolidate the curative effect. In the acute stage of symptoms, local rest should be taken, and exercise stimulation should not be increased. When there are obvious or progressive symptoms of spinal cord compression, it is forbidden to move, especially the cervical spine backward movement. When cervical spondylosis of vertebral artery type occurs, the neck rotation should be gentle and slow, and the amplitude should be controlled properly.

In the past, "traction" was one of the first choice methods for the treatment of cervical spondylosis, but in recent years, it has been found that many patients with cervical spondylosis, especially those who used "traction" for a long time, did not reduce but aggravated cervical spondylosis. Traction can not promote the recovery of physiological curvature of cervical spine, on the contrary, it straightens the cervical spine, but weakens the physiological curvature of cervical spine. Therefore, traction therapy should be used with caution for cervical spondylosis.

matters needing attention

Raise your head and look at the moon: standing, feet and shoulders, head down to explore the sea: hands akimbo, head forward as far as possible, turn to look at the heel: head with the body to maximize backward rotation, shoulders: hands akimbo, shoulders forward and to the same width, hands on the back, eyes straight ahead, stretch forward, and slowly down, stop turning left or right at the lowest point, look at your heels. Hands back, slowly up, When lifting to the maximum, stay for 3 ~ 5 seconds. Swing with the direction of body rotation. Stay for 3 ~ 5 seconds
