Cervical spondylosis should pay attention to tui na massage

  Tui na massage has a long tradition in China and is highly respected. However, there are indications for doing massage for cervical spondylosis, and we should consider whether we need this method of treatment after a clear diagnosis, which is safe. When long hours of ambulatory work, resulting in neck strain, muscle spasm pain, after manipulation massage, can make the muscle relaxation, the patient often feel comfortable.  However, the symptoms of cervical spondylosis are produced by compression of nerve structures with injurious inflammatory stimulation. Blindly applying external force to the cervical spine without understanding the condition without a cervical MRI etc. that can reflect the state of spinal cord compression is not only detrimental to treatment, but often aggravates the injury and hinders treatment. For patients with spinal cord cervical spondylosis or developmental cervical spinal stenosis, the spinal cord is close to the state of compression, especially massage and massage should be absolutely contraindicated.  In fact, there are many clinical reports of tetraplegia due to massage. Therefore, massage must go to the regular hospital, please have a comprehensive medical knowledge of the physician operation.
