Five major misconceptions about cervical spondylosis treatment?

  The clinical symptoms of cervical spondylosis are more complicated. They mainly include neck and back pain, weakness of upper limbs, numbness of fingers, weakness of lower limbs, difficulty in walking, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and even blurred vision, tachycardia and difficulty in swallowing. The clinical symptoms of cervical spondylosis are related to the lesion site, the degree of tissue involvement and individual differences. Due to the increasing pressure of people’s work, the incidence of cervical spondylosis is rising, and there is a trend toward younger people, especially those who often work with their heads down and have a fixed posture for a long time, such as clerks, teachers and journalists. However, in the prevention and treatment process of this disease, there are five major misconceptions that are worth noting.  1, inappropriate repeated traction.  Cervical traction is one of the more common methods of treating cervical spondylosis, but inappropriate repeated traction can lead to relaxation of the ligaments attached to the cervical spine, accelerating degenerative lesions and reducing the stability of the cervical spine.  2.Repeated blind massage and reset.  The pathogenesis of cervical spondylosis is complex, before doing massage and reset treatment must exclude spinal stenosis, serious disc herniation, cervical instability, etc. Spinal cervical spondylosis absolutely prohibits gravity massage and reset, otherwise it is very easy to aggravate the symptoms, and can even lead to paraplegia.  3, do not pay attention to the recovery of cervical physiological bending in the treatment process.  Blind traction, so that the muscles and ligaments of the neck are in a long-term non-physiological state, will cause chronic damage, so in the treatment process should pay attention to the recovery and maintenance of the physiological bending of the cervical spine. It is recommended to use medicine pillows and medicine bags for comprehensive treatment, so that the vast majority of physiological bending is restored and symptoms disappear.  4.The effect of non-surgical treatment methods is overstated.  Not everyone’s cervical spondylosis will get better after conservative treatment, and sometimes surgery may be the only option.  5.Take the prevention of cervical spondylosis lightly.  Long-term fixed a posture, easy to cause soft tissue strain on the neck, and gradually develop cervical spondylosis.  The pillow is the main tool to maintain the normal position of the head and neck. This “normal” position is to maintain the physiological curve of the head and neck section itself. This weight curve ensures the external muscular balance of the cervical spine and maintains the physiological anatomy of the spinal canal. Therefore, an ideal pillow should be in line with the cervical physiological curvature requirements, soft texture, good breathability, low in the middle, high at both ends of the Yuan Bao shape is better.
