Prevention and treatment of cervical spondylosis

  1, the exercise of medical sports health care exercises without any symptoms, can be carried out several times a day in the morning and evening, slow head down, head tilt, left and right rotation of the neck and lateral flexion of the neck exercise.  2, to avoid long-term low posture work should pay special attention to avoid the neck fixed in a long-term low office posture, this posture makes the neck muscles are strained for a long time, prone to cervical and dorsal muscle strain. Therefore, the need to change this posture, such as the document will be placed obliquely padded reading and writing.  3, the neck is placed in a physiological state of rest placed in a neutral position is appropriate, the general adult neck cushion height of about 10 centimeters is better, “high pillow without worry” is not appropriate, high pillow is harmful to health. Lying on the sofa, the neck on the armrest to watch TV or sleep, is also harmful bad posture, the same reason as long-term low work harmful reason.  4, strictly prevent neck trauma such as sleeping in a small sleeper car, and not wearing seat belts, when the emergency brake, also very easy to accidental injury, serious paraplegia.  5, strengthen the neck and back muscle exercise exercise method: crossed hands clasped together, placed behind the head (pillow), hands force the head to the front, while the head and neck force backward top hand, for resistance exercises. Or standing position, the back against the wall, the back of the head force against the wall, for 4-5 seconds, relax and pause for a few seconds. Then repeat the above actions, each time more than 20 times, every two hours to practice a return. Long-term persistent practice will be beneficial.  6.Physiotherapy or gentle massage For mild symptoms such as neck and shoulder pain, after examination by a physician, when confirmed that there is no cervical spinal stenosis, intervertebral stenosis or cervical spine instability, only when the gentle massage. If the above-mentioned conditions, massage should be regarded as contraindicated to avoid accidents such as paralysis.
Physiotherapy: Physiotherapy includes electric therapy, heat therapy, microwave and other methods. Improve local blood circulation, promote the absorption of inflammation and relieve symptoms. The effect of microwave therapy may be faster and better.  7, cervical traction Cervical spine physiological curvature abnormalities, or cervical spine gap narrowing and segmental instability is feasible cervical traction treatment. Cervical traction cannot be performed in the following cases: cervical spinal stenosis, ossification of the ligaments in the spinal canal (ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, ossification of the yellow ligament), ankylosing spondylitis, diagnosed or suspected spinal cord cervical spondylosis, cervical tuberculosis, cervical tumor, etc. If you have cervical instability, you need to wear a cervical brace for about 3 weeks.  8. For those who have obvious symptoms of nerve injury, take Rohypnol (change to Fenbendazole or Nimesulide for those who have high blood pressure) and Micropol orally.  What should I pay attention to in the non-surgical treatment of cervical spondylosis?  Non-surgical treatment may reduce the symptoms of cervical spondylosis, improve significantly, or even cure it, especially for early cases, but any rough operation beyond the physiological limits of the mechanism is not only difficult to achieve the desired effect, but also prone to adverse consequences. For example, if the manipulation is too heavy or inappropriate, the patient can suddenly develop neurological symptoms, paralysis, or even immediate death. Because of the development of the disease, especially the compression of the blood vessels of the spinal cord can make the disease suddenly aggravated, early surgical treatment should be sought for such cases. In some cases, the timing of surgery should not be delayed due to non-surgical treatment. For example, in severe spinal cord type, acute anterior central spinal cord syndrome, etc., non-surgical treatment is used blindly and for too long, thus delaying the timing of surgery.
