Small acupuncture for cervical spondylosis

  Xiao Li is 17 years old and will take the college entrance exam next year. He sits at his desk all day during summer vacation and studies intensely. Recently, he always felt uncomfortable neck, stiffness, sometimes accompanied by dizziness, shoulder and arm numbness. At first Xiao Li did not pay too much attention, did not expect to get heavier and heavier, and finally surprisingly to raise the head, twist the neck are feeling the sky, seriously affecting the academic. No way, the parents took a try to find Zhenjiang City Hospital Acupuncture Department Dr. Zhang Kingland, Dr. Zhang asked him in detail about his condition, suggested that he go to take a cervical X-ray. The examination results confirmed that Xiao Li suffered from cervical spondylosis. His dizziness and numbness in the shoulder and arm were caused by problems with the cervical spine.  According to Dr. Zhang, cervical spondylosis is a common clinical condition. The most essential factor in the development of cervical and lumbar spine diseases is the natural aging of the intervertebral discs as we age. However, with the accelerated pace of life, prolonged use of computers, smart phones, driving vehicles, sleeping on soft beds and many other factors, all make people maintain a single posture for a long time, muscle ligament fatigue, thus accelerating the occurrence of cervical and lumbar spine diseases; at the same time, changes in diet structure and weight gain can also exacerbate the occurrence of disease. The survey shows that the increase of cervical spondylosis tends to be younger in recent years, with about 7-10% of people suffering from cervical spondylosis nationwide, and some scholars showed in a survey of 2,000 samples that the incidence of cervical spondylosis among young people under the age of 40 was as high as 20%.  Most of the nerves and blood vessels in the head come from the neck. The nerves travel upward from the spinal cord to the head, passing through many bone gaps and muscles on the way. If strain occurs at the muscle-bone junction of the neck and shoulder, resulting in soft tissue adhesions, calcification, contracture, stiffness and hyperplasia, the nerves and blood vessels passing by will be affected and abnormalities will occur, and these abnormalities will cause symptoms such as dizziness and numbness in the shoulder and arm.  The small needle knife, which is shaped like an acupuncture needle, is about four to eight centimeters long, less than one millimeter in diameter, with a 1 millimeter sharp edge at the front, is a fusion of the needle of acupuncture therapy and the knife of surgical therapy, taking the therapeutic advantages of both instruments to be integrated, piercing into specific parts of the body, peeling or loosening the diseased tissues of adhesion, calcification, contracture, stiffness, and hyperplasia, so that the pressure of the diseased soft tissues can be released, thus restoring the This can restore the dynamic balance of the body and play a significant role in the treatment of the disease. It has the advantages of easy operation, minimal trauma, safety and reliability, and rapid and precise therapeutic effect, which makes it a more ideal treatment for neck, shoulder, back and leg pain.  After a thorough physical examination, Dr. Zhang performed two small acupuncture treatments for Xiao Li, and half a month later, Xiao Li’s condition gradually improved, and now the stiffness of his neck has completely disappeared, and the dizziness and numbness of his shoulders and arms have been reduced compared to before.
