Numbness in legs caused by cervical vertebrae requires a combination of medication and physical therapy, and in severe cases, surgery may be required.
1. Medications: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as diclofenac, muscle relaxants such as epirubicin, nutritive nerve drugs such as methylcobalamin, etc., to control the progression of symptoms, and gradually alleviate numbness in the legs and inability to walk.
2. Physiotherapy: such as local massage of the lower limbs to promote blood circulation, and at the same time can be combined with ultrashort wave therapy, high potential therapy to improve the local nerve function of the lower limbs.
3. Surgery: If the effect of conservative treatment is poor and cervical spondylosis seriously affects normal life, surgery can be carried out to relieve the compression of the spinal cord and nerve roots, so as to solve the problem fundamentally.
Specific drugs and treatment modalities need to be chosen in accordance with the doctor’s instructions, not to use prescription drugs.
