Dizziness after surgery for spinal cervical spondylosis is treated differently depending on the cause of the disease, and can be treated by wearing a neck brace, localized hot compresses, and localized physiotherapy. The main causes are lack of blood supply, poor posture after surgery, inflammation at the spinal cord after surgery and anesthesia reaction.
1. Lack of blood supply: Generally, the head lacks blood supply because of too much time in bed, and the treatment plan at this time is to do moderate exercise and move the neck muscles moderately.
2. Postoperative bad posture: postoperative bed position is not very correct, resulting in dizziness caused by poor posture of the neck and head, such as bending the head and neck, sleeping on the stomach, etc. At this time, attention should be paid to avoiding bad posture, you can also wear a neck brace, to avoid the cervical spine too far overflexion.
3. Postoperative inflammation of the spinal cord: the spinal cord is still in the stage of inflammation and edema after the operation, which leads to edema of the local tissues and compression of the spinal cord. Hot compresses and local physical therapy can be used to increase local blood circulation and relieve symptoms.
4. Anesthesia reaction: spinal cord cervical spondylosis surgery requires general anesthesia, using a variety of anesthetic drugs, it takes a relatively long time to decompose and absorb after surgery, if the head is still a little dizzy after a short period of time after the surgery, it may be due to the residual reaction of anesthetic drugs. Generally, no special treatment is needed, and it can be slowly relieved and disappear after rest.
In addition, spinal cord cervical spondylosis should strengthen the physical exercise after surgery, if the symptoms worsen, should go to the regular hospital in time to avoid aggravation of the condition.
