Self-care exercises for cervical spondylosis

  Basic methods of folding edit this section 1, lifting the head and neck: the patient stands, head slightly back, hands crossed on the back of the head (equivalent to the occipital ridge of the skull), lifting the head and neck upward, a relaxation, round trip
30 to 50 times, can be combined with the back of the chest backward, in order to move the upper part of the spine and the thorax, shoulders and back, to achieve the role of relaxation of the joints.  2, with the neck to compete with the force: the patient stands, hands crossed waist, two feet apart and shoulder width, natural upright. Repeatedly look up at the sky and down at the ground. When practicing, the chest should be kept still, and the head should be raised as much as possible to see the object above the head; when lowering the head, the lower jaw should be inward as much as possible. The amplitude of the action is small and large, from slow to fast, to the extent that the patient can tolerate.  3.Looking backward: The patient stands with arms crossed, feet separated by the same width as the shoulders, eyes flat, and head and neck repeatedly rotated to the left and right. The range of activity is small and large, but do not force too large an increase in amplitude, and the number of times should not be too many, generally 20-30 times. This exercise is not suitable for those who already suffer from vertebral artery cervical spondylosis, otherwise, it can cause a fall.  4, cervical lateral bending: the patient stands, hands crossed waist, two feet apart and shoulder width, respectively, alternating cervical vertebrae left and right cervical lateral bending activities, round trip 20-30 times.  5, forward stretch to explore the sea: the patient stands, hands crossed waist, two feet apart and shoulder width, head and neck forward stretch and lateral rotation, peeping in front of the bottom, as if to the bottom of the sea peeping objects, alternating left and right, repeatedly. During the exercise, the movement should be natural, coherent, and slow, the head and neck always maintain the forward-flexed position.  6, looking back at the moon: the patient stands, arms crossed, feet separated by the same width as the shoulders, head and neck turned behind, watching the moon in the sky behind. Alternate between left and right, and so on for 15-30 times.
30 times. It can improve the cervical spondylosis with backward tilt and rotation limitation.  7, golden lion shaking head: the patient stands, arms crossed, feet apart and shoulder width, head and neck first in the clockwise direction around a few weeks, and then in the counterclockwise direction around a few weeks, or alternate between the two directions. The speed of shaking the head should not be fast and the movement should not be large to avoid falling. This method should be used with caution for patients with vertebral artery cervical spondylosis and cervical spine surgery, and it is prohibited for those suffering from hypertension, cerebral embolism, anemia, and inner ear vertigo.
