Cervical vertigo, also known as vertebral artery cervical spondylosis, is a common and frequent disease among middle-aged and elderly people, and now there is a trend of youthfulness. Cervical vertigo is a type of disease in which dizziness, nausea, vomiting and neck discomfort are the main symptoms due to insufficient blood supply to the basilar artery as a result of the stimulation and compression of the surrounding nerves and blood vessels by factors such as cervical disc degeneration or herniation, chronic strain, trauma and inflammation. People suffering from this disease are often in great pain and their quality of life is seriously affected. It has been shown that inadequate blood supply to the basilar artery due to cervical spine lesions is one of the risk factors for ischemic stroke, and generally about 1/3 of patients develop cerebral infarction within 5 years. Therefore, timely and effective treatment of cervical vertigo has the dual significance of relieving patients’ pain and preventing strokes. What are the clinical manifestations of cervical vertigo? The main manifestation is positional vertigo, which is obvious when the head is turned, and even nausea and vomiting; sudden collapse may occur; it may also be accompanied by nystagmus, blurred vision, tinnitus, hearing loss and other manifestations. The cerebral hemogram indicates the inadequate blood supply of vertebral artery, which is of reference significance. In some patients, MRI of cervical spine may reveal narrow transverse foramen on one side, which is also helpful to determine the asymmetry of the left and right vertebral arteries. What are the treatments for cervical vertigo? In the treatment of cervical vertigo, Western medicine mostly adopts vasodilator, antispasmodic and circulatory improvement drugs, but patients often have poor results and relapse soon. Chinese medicine treatment has good advantages, and can be combined with non-conservative treatment such as Chinese medicine soup, Chinese medicine ion introduction, acupuncture, tui na, etc. It can often effectively relieve the spasm of neck muscles and improve the blood supply to the brain, and has a good effect of relieving dizziness and pain, especially acupuncture treatment has a very good therapeutic effect. It can be treated with cervical spinal electroacupuncture with Fengchi point injection. However, the operation is demanding and needs to be treated by an experienced professional acupuncturist. The team headed by Director Peng Li of the Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion of Taihe Hospital has combined stellate ganglion therapy with Zhao’s conservative therapy (chiropractic electro-acupuncture with three-dimensional orthopedic) to carry out clinical treatment, which has obtained better recent and long-term results and relieved the pain of numerous patients with cervical vertigo. How to prevent the onset of cervical vertigo Cervical vertigo is prone to recurrent attacks, so prevention is important. Prevention is one of the important elements to prevent the onset of cervical vertigo, which should be done as follows: 1. Pay attention to the cold and warmth of the cervical spine, and prevent acute head, neck and shoulder trauma and chronic injury. 2, correct the bad posture in life, do not work for a long time with your head down, such as playing mahjong, playing computer, knitting sweater, etc., develop the habit of doing cervical spine health exercises, often “raise your head to look at the bright moon”, do not long-term “head down thinking of home”. 3, reasonable pillow: a reasonable pillow must have two: scientific height and comfortable hardness. The height of the pillow, should not be too high, nor too low. 4, light diet, a reasonable diet, less spicy and greasy food. 5, if there is a disease, active line of formal conservative treatment, do not ask non-professional doctors casually “wrench neck”, so as not to aggravate the disease.
