Hot towel compresses for cervical spondylosis are effective because they can improve blood circulation in the neck, thus reducing the symptoms of neck and shoulder pain associated with cervical spondylosis. Apply it 2-3 times a day for about 30 minutes at a time. For patients with cervical spondylosis, hot compresses alone are not enough, it is recommended to pay attention to rest, protect the cervical vertebrae, correct bad posture, avoid prolonged bowing of the head, and avoid pillows that are too high and too soft. Appropriate exercise of neck and shoulder muscles, such as hands crossed behind the head, head tilted back as far as possible, can increase the strength of the back of the neck, as far as possible to stabilize the cervical vertebrae, thus reducing the development of cervical spondylolisthesis.

If the pain is very obvious, you can also take antipyretic and analgesic drugs, such as celecoxib, meloxicam, etc., but the specific method of medication is to follow the doctor’s instructions.
