What should I do if I have cervical pain?

Cervical pain can be caused by cervical spondylosis, upper crossed syndrome, and cervical small joint disorders, and can be treated with physical therapy, medication, and exercise therapy. 1. Cervical spondylosis: Degenerative changes in the cervical spine can compress the surrounding nerves and tissues, causing pain and other discomforts. To relieve cervical discomfort, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen can be taken under the guidance of a doctor. Physical therapy such as magnetic therapy and infrared laser therapy can also be performed on the cervical spine to improve the local blood flow in the cervical spine and relieve pain. At the same time, we should pay attention to the cervical spine to keep warm and avoid catching cold. 2. Upper Cross Syndrome: Muscle power imbalance can also lead to cervical pain. In order to alleviate this symptom, you can perform exercises such as forward bending, backward stretching, and small flying swallows to enhance muscle strength under the professional guidance of your doctor. Physical therapy such as cervical traction and intermediate frequency electrical stimulation can also be performed to improve pain symptoms. 3. Disorders of small cervical joints: When the small cervical joints are misaligned, it will also cause cervical spine discomfort. At this time, magnetic therapy, medium frequency electrical stimulation and other physical therapy can be used to improve local blood circulation, relax the muscles and reduce pain. Cervical spine stretching exercises can also be performed under the guidance of a doctor. In short, when the cervical spine has obvious discomfort symptoms, it is necessary to go to the regular hospital in time to seek medical treatment.
