Headache caused by cervical spondylosis alone can be relieved by general treatment, physical therapy, medication and surgery.
1. General treatment: pay attention to rest, improve bad posture, avoid long-term low head work, and do some head and neck and upper limb forward flexion, backward extension and rotation activities under the guidance of doctors after working for a period of time, which can alleviate fatigue, exercise muscle strength, help maintain the stability of cervical vertebrae, and improve the symptoms of headaches.
2. Physical therapy: Acupuncture, massage, infrared and other physical methods can improve local blood circulation and relieve headache symptoms.
3. Medications: Those with significant pain can use non-steroidal analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and celecoxib as prescribed by the doctor. It should be noted that these drugs are often accompanied by nausea, vomiting and other adverse reactions.
4. Surgery: If conservative treatment is ineffective and the headache is severe, or even accompanied by weakness of the upper limbs, muscle atrophy and other symptoms, timely surgical treatment is needed.
Headache caused by cervical vertebrae may be combined with other problems such as infection, etc., and should go to the hospital in time to clarify the cause of the disease, and then standardize the treatment under the guidance of the doctor. All of the above medications should be used reasonably under the guidance of a doctor, avoiding self-medication.
