How to prevent and treat cervical spondylosis?

  Once you have cervical spondylosis, you should prevent its attack as the first priority, how to prevent the attack of the disease? First of all, we should pay attention to the scientific and reasonable “use” of the cervical spine, our daily life and work bring heavy workload to our cervical spine, scientific and appropriate to let our cervical spine “work” happily for us “For the cervical spine itself is also a very necessary “vocation”, more conducive to its own “health”. How to “use” the cervical spine in a scientific and rational way? Try to avoid “one-way” strain, do not a certain posture for too long (such as head down, a certain direction for a long time), otherwise it will be a certain side of the cervical muscle overwork and spasm, resulting in both sides of the cervical muscle tension imbalance and lead to changes in the cervical curvature, or a vertebral body to the intervertebral disc transmission pressure imbalance and lead to the nucleus pulposus to The nucleus pulposus bulges in a certain direction, or the ligaments on a certain side relax and cause the disc to bulge or even protrude. If you have to be in a certain position for a long time, you can stop for 1-2min in the middle, change your posture and move your cervical spine. Develop good habits, not lying down to read books, watch TV, not sitting prone rest. Second, give our cervical spine a comfortable rest position, our pillow should be suitable for themselves, in general, the height of the pillow (when the pillow is relaxed state) for their own fist and a half high, choose a soft and breathable pillow, the highest point of the pillow should be in the cervical spine between 4, 5. Of course, if the cervical spine has curvature changes (such as cervical physiological curvature straightening or too large), it is best to consult a professional doctor. Again, the cervical spine is the part of the spine with a relatively large range of motion, and its physiological function is to move. Maintain a moderate level of movement within the physiological range of motion. Finally, beware of misdiagnosis and underdiagnosis of other diseases caused by cervical spondylosis. For example, gastrointestinal diseases, cardiovascular diseases, endocrine diseases, neuropsychiatric diseases, etc.  In the period of cervical spondylosis, the earlier treatment is sought, the better the recovery. The treatment of cervical spondylosis includes conservative treatment and surgical treatment, and surgical treatment should be decided by professional doctors. In reality, the majority of patients with cervical spondylosis are able to relieve or eliminate their symptoms with conservative treatment. There are various conservative treatments, but in general, the main ones are drugs (oral, sedative, topical), acupuncture, tui-na, traction, gua sha, vapor therapy, magnetic therapy, etc. All these treatments must be operated by professional doctors, and in my opinion, acupuncture with drug treatment should be preferred. In the treatment period, patients should also actively cooperate with the functional exercise of the neck (except for the acute phase of the vertebral artery type), mainly “rice” exercise, the exercise should be appropriate for each person, to the end of the exercise does not induce symptoms or aggravate the symptoms, the specific exercise method should follow the treatment doctor’s instructions.
