Can cervical spondylosis be cured by taking medication and applying plasters?



Symptoms of cervical spondylosis can be relieved after taking medication and plasters, but the pathological changes of cervical spondylosis can not return to normal.

Patients with cervical spondylosis are mainly due to the usual improper posture or strain injury caused by physiological curvature straightening, osteophytes, ligament calcification, intervertebral disc lesions, etc., on the vertebral basilar arteries, nerve roots, spinal cord and other caused by compression or irritation, which in turn cause symptoms.

Medications and plasters are mainly used to relieve pain, nourish nerves, and reduce swelling, etc. They can improve the symptoms of cervical spondylosis, but they can’t restore the normalcy of the lesions that have already occurred, so they usually can’t be cured.

Patients with cervical spondylosis should not lower their heads for a long time and should not put too high a pillow to avoid aggravation of the lesions.

It is recommended that patients go to the hospital in a timely manner, active diagnosis and treatment, in order to avoid adverse consequences.
