What to do about cervical dislocation

Cervical dislocation is mostly caused by poor posture, external damage, etc. It is important to determine whether it can be reset, and if it cannot be reset, it may require surgery. For atlantoaxial subluxation without spinal cord injury, occipito-mandibular band traction is performed, which is more effective if orthopedic manipulation is used, but attention should be paid to the correct technique. Joint dislocation caused by cervical spine injury indicates that the ligaments and tendons next to the cervical spine are damaged, and after treatment, neck exercises should be strengthened and neck gymnastics maintained to prevent recurrence. At the same time, you should also avoid excessive neck activity causing another sprain and strain, and change your habits. Avoid strain and cold in the neck, and use a suitable pillow. For mild subluxation of small joints, it can be restored to the normal state by manipulation. Local microwave therapy is given after surgery to reduce edema and pain around the small joints. For patients who are unable to undergo manual repositioning, appropriate cervical traction can be given to restore the normal anatomical state by relaxing the local muscles through passive pulling action. For patients for whom conservative treatment is ineffective, active surgical treatment and, if necessary, appropriate internal fixation are required.
