Western medical treatment for cervical spondylosis
I. Home treatment
1. Self-recovery treatment.
The vast majority of cervical spondylosis patients can recover their health or substantially relieve their symptoms through posture adjustment, especially sleeping posture adjustment, proper rest and proper neck, shoulder and back muscle exercise.
2.Self-exercise therapy.
Self-execution can be performed once a day. The technique should be lighter and heavier than you can tolerate. If you follow the procedure, you can usually see the effect in 1-2 months.
①Neck exercise: tilt your head forward ten times, tilt it back ten times, tilt it to the left ten times, tilt it to the right ten times. Then slowly shake the head and turn it ten times to the left and ten times to the right.
②Shake the upper limbs: shake the left arm twenty times, and then shake the right arm twenty times.
③ grasp the air to practice finger; two arms flat outstretched, both hands five fingers for flexion and extension movement, can be made fifty times cervical spondylosis.
④Local massage: you can look for pressure pain points, hard knot points or muscle tautness near the neck, large vertebrae points and Fengchi points, and knead and push pinch on these reaction points.
⑤ distal points: find pressure and pain points on the back of the hand, back of the foot, the front and outer side of the small hip, and the outer side of the calf. Apply point massage on this response point.
(6) rub the palm of the waist: rub the palms of both hands together, then rub the waist with both hands, can be rubbed in the up and down direction, for fifty times.
(7) pinch the ankle tendon: the two hands alternately pinch the ankle tendon.
(8) pinch and knead the man center point with the thumb and forefinger.
(9) Lift and rub both ears; pull both ears with your hands, then rub them until they are hot.
Second, hospital therapy
1.Medication.
You can choose to apply painkillers, sedatives, vitamins (such as B1, B12), which have certain effect on the relief of symptoms.
2.Magnetic therapy.
With analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, sleeping, anti-drainage, anti-itch and other effects. Early cervical spondylosis patients use a commonly used medical device “analgesic sleeping pad”, analgesic sleeping pad using the national 863 plan of high-tech achievements – neodymium iron boron permanent magnets, the liner for the nano far-infrared cloth. The NdFeB biotechnology magnetic field itself magnetic field frequency and the body’s own magnetic field can produce coordination, not only will not cause the body’s own magnetic field disorder, more importantly, it can promote the body’s bioelectromagnetic energy enhancement, promote the body’s meridian qi operation, so as to achieve the effect of the effective pain relief through the meridian. Under the action of biomagnetic field, local blood circulation is improved, while capillary permeability is reduced, accelerating the absorption and dissipation of inflammatory exudates, producing pain relief, increasing the saturation of blood oxygen exchange in the ligaments and muscle tissues around the neck, thus effectively strengthening the effect of the neck and shoulder, ligaments and muscles to protect the cervical spine, inhibiting the prolapse of the nucleus pulposus and achieving the effect of cervical spondylosis treatment.
3.Exercise therapy.
When the symptoms of each type of cervical spondylosis are basically relieved or in a chronic state, medical gymnastics can be started to promote the further elimination of symptoms and consolidate the therapeutic effect. Local rest is appropriate during the acute attack of symptoms, and it is not advisable to increase the stimulation of movement. Exercise is contraindicated when there are more obvious or progressive spinal cord compression symptoms, especially cervical backward movement should be contraindicated. In the case of vertebral artery cervical spondylosis, gentle and slow cervical rotational movements are recommended, and the amplitude should be controlled appropriately.
4.Traction therapy.
Traction” was one of the preferred methods of treatment for cervical spondylosis in the past, but in recent years it has been found that many patients with cervical spondylosis, especially those who have used “traction” for a long time, suffer from cervical spondylosis after using “traction”. However, in recent years, it has been found that many patients with cervical spondylosis, especially those who have been using “traction” for a long time, have not only failed to reduce their cervical spondylosis, but also aggravated it.
Traction not only can not promote the recovery of cervical spine physiological curvature, on the contrary, traction straightened the cervical spine, but also weakened the cervical spine physiological curvature, so cervical spondylosis should be used with caution traction therapy.
