What are the treatment measures for cervical spondylosis?

  Traditional treatment methods for cervical and lumbar spondylosis 1, oral drug therapy: internal drug absorption through the gastrointestinal, digestion, decomposition, and finally through blood circulation, before the drug input to the local, the whole process needs to pass through layers of barriers to reach the lesion site, but the drug effect has been little left, so the effect is extremely slow and inefficient, and the clinical application of these methods can only relieve pain symptoms, functional rehabilitation is irreversible. Bone repair is not even possible. And oral medication is extremely damaging to the liver, kidneys, gastrointestinal damage.  2, traction method: through the mutual balance between traction force and anti-traction force, so that the head and neck is relatively fixed in the physiological curve state, so that the cervical spine curve phenomenon gradually changed, but its efficacy is limited, only suitable for mild patients; and in the acute period is prohibited to do traction, to prevent local inflammation, edema aggravation; traction period activity is limited.  3, physical therapy: physical therapy is the abbreviation of physical therapy. It is the application of natural and artificial physical factors, such as sound, light, electricity, heat, magnetism and other effects on the human body, in order to achieve the purpose of treatment and prevention of disease. However, its effect is also weak and cannot be treated at the root. And often physical therapy is easy to produce burns on the skin, and even lead to cancer.  4, massage method: massage method is an important part of Chinese medicine. Treatment without drugs and injections, only with the hands of the doctor and simple instruments in certain parts of the body or acupuncture points, along the route of meridians, the direction of the flow of qi and blood, the application of different techniques to achieve the purpose of treatment. However, it is forbidden to massage during the acute period or acute attack, otherwise it will aggravate the inflammation and edema of the nerve root and increase the pain. Cervical spondylosis with fracture, disorder of bone and joint structure, osteoarthritis, severe senile osteoporosis, etc., pushing can make bone destruction, infection spread, this therapy should be prohibited.  5, acupuncture method: According to the basic theory of Chinese medicine, cervical spondylosis is mostly caused by wind and cold invasion, Qi and blood disharmony, meridians and collaterals, so the main role of acupuncture in treating cervical spondylosis is to achieve the purpose of relaxing tendons and activating blood through acupuncture. Acupuncture is painful for patients, and some patients even have dizziness and fear of needles; and acupuncture can lead to some complications.  6, intervertebral foramen block ( epidural space block ) and paravertebral sympathetic nerve block: is an effective treatment method, repeated single block or placement of continuous drug injection, can receive very good results. Single blocks are performed twice a week for 5 sessions. For epidural placement, the drug can be injected once a day, every 5 times as a course of treatment. Stellate ganglion blocks are effective in the treatment of sympathetic cervical spondylosis (usually combined with foraminal and cervical pain blocks). Nerve block therapy often receives immediate effect after the first block treatment, but most of them cannot maintain the long-term effect, so it must be repeatedly administered to consolidate the effect, at least 2 to 4 consecutive courses of treatment.  7.Surgical method: The principle of surgical method is to reduce compression, eliminate stimulation, improve stability and prevent progressive damage. However, surgery has more complications and contraindications, high risk and pain, and is not suitable for patients with systemic or local conditions, such as those who are older or in poor health, combined with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular pathology or diabetes, or patients with contraindications to anesthesia.  8, with a patch: there are generally many better patches on the market, such as: through the cone quick effect post for cervical spondylosis is very good! The best thing to choose is pure Chinese medicine!  Acupuncture for cervical spondylosis, the 50s and 60s articles are quite small. The disease only began to receive the attention of the acupuncture community at home and abroad with the development of geriatric medicine in the late 1970s. In less than 20 years, thousands of cases treated with acupuncture have been reported in Chinese medicine and other medical journals in China. A variety of acupoint stimulation methods, such as electroacupuncture, warm acupuncture, intermittent medicine cake moxibustion, bamboo jar method, acupoint laser irradiation, acupoint injection, magnetic acupuncture, beryllium acupuncture, etc. are applied to the treatment of this disease. Overseas, such as Romania, Japan, the United States, the Netherlands, Ireland and other countries also carry out this work. Foreign acupuncturists mostly use milli-needle or electro-acupuncture treatment, and Japanese scholars have also used inter-ginger moxibustion. The main acupuncture point is the neck and shoulder point, but also use the far channel point and the ayurvedic point.  According to domestic and international statistics, the efficiency of acupuncture for this disease is about 90%. In order to verify the efficacy, some people have observed the effect of warming on cervical spondylosis with electromyography and found that with the disappearance of positive signs, the fibrillation wave and positive phase wave at rest in electromyography disappeared, the muscle strength of damaged innervated muscles returned to normal, and the motor potential voltage also tended to be normal.
