But it is not suitable for every cervical spondylosis patients, there are 10 kinds of people can not be cervical massage, if the technique is too heavy, but also can aggravate the original symptoms. In particular, spinal cord cervical spondylosis patients, due to various reasons caused by the cervical spinal canal diameter becomes smaller and the spinal cord is compressed, the spinal cord in the spinal canal cushion gap is reduced, improper manipulation, can make the spinal cord by a short violent impact, resulting in immediate paralysis of the patient. This situation, which also occurs clinically, can cause lifelong paraplegia in severe cases.  1, cervical fractures, dislocations and severe deformities of the cervical spine, atlantoaxial developmental deformities; 2, severe hypertension, arteriosclerosis and severe heart disease, senile osteoporosis. For the elderly, especially patients with hypertension, atherosclerosis, heart disease and other patients should be contraindicated to do forceful rotation of the head and neck. The literature at home and abroad has reported cases of stroke, vertebral artery pseudo-infarct aneurysm and internal carotid artery occlusion caused by pulling and rotating the neck; 3, cervical vertebrae with severe osteophytes or vertebrae with bone bridge formation; 4, cervical spinal canal severe stenosis and intervertebral foramen obvious narrowing; 5, cervical vertebrae with tuberculosis, tumors and other diseases; 6, acute and chronic inflammation of the neck, adhesive arachnoiditis or spinal cord degeneration; 7, bone 7, neck and shoulder pain caused by bone, joint, spinal canal and soft tissue tumors; 8, bone and joint tuberculosis; 9, septic infection diseases such as septic spondylitis, epidural abscess, septic shoulder arthritis, neck and shoulder fossa tissue inflammation, abscess and skin carbuncles, boils, folliculitis, etc. are not suitable for massage therapy; 10, nasopharyngeal inflammation, upper respiratory tract infection is absolutely prohibited to do neck flexion and extension or rotation of massage techniques.

The bony structure of the cervical spine joint protrusion itself is not stable enough, so it is very easy for cervical subluxation or total subluxation to occur under a large passive external force, which will cause paraplegia or death of the patient after the edema of the medulla oblongata caused by the spinal cord or even trauma. Therefore, for the so-called wind patients who have fallen into the pillow, the neck should not do a large rotation or flexion and extension of the massage treatment techniques, but of course, local light rubbing a class of techniques or allowed.
