When it comes to cervical spondylosis, many friends can be said to be more than familiar with a series of symptoms such as neck and shoulder pain, dizziness, headache, nausea, soreness and swelling of the hands and so on; all of which have brought great pain to our lives. Then to talk about its common treatment methods, how much do you know? Many of our “experienced” friends first think of massage therapy or physical therapy equipment, followed by medication, and surgery for severe cervical spondylosis. In fact, there is another method that we have all heard of, but do not fully understand – traction therapy. Traction therapy: also belongs to one kind of physical therapy method, refers to the use of external force on a certain part of the body or joints to exert pulling force, so that a certain separation occurs, and the surrounding soft tissues get appropriate stretching, so as to achieve the therapeutic purpose of a method. It has a good effect on the treatment of some cervical spondylosis, and traction therapy occupies a certain proportion on the program of treating cervical spondylosis. First, the mechanism of traction is 1, reduce the pressure between the intervertebral discs, so that the herniated discs caused by nerve root compression, blood vessels, crural and other conditions can be relieved, 2, relieve the muscle spasm in the neck, the tissue congestion, edema, etc. The efficacy of the treatment is very good, 3, through the external pulling, loosening of adhesion of the surrounding tissues, improve the disorders of the vertebral body between the hook vertebrae joints. Second, which patients are suitable for traction? For the cervical nerve root compression caused by limb soreness, swelling and pain, radiculoedema disease and cervical degeneration caused by neck and shoulder muscle stiffness, dizziness, headache and other symptoms of patients; traction therapy can play a good effect. Third, which types of patients are not suitable for traction therapy? 1, intervertebral disc lesions compression of the crural cord patients (i.e., crural cervical spondylosis) is not suitable for traction therapy, 2, there is obvious osteoporosis of the patient is not suitable for traction therapy, 3, through a traction, the emergence of headache, dizziness, nausea, and cervical symptoms aggravated by the patient is not suitable for traction therapy, 4, cervical vertebrae have been open fixation surgery is not suitable for traction therapy. See this, I believe you have a certain understanding of traction therapy; you in the manipulation of the treatment at the same time, you may wish to reasonably cooperate with traction therapy, for your disease I believe there will be more efficacy. Warm reminder: traction therapy due to its specificity, should go to the regular medical institutions for regular treatment, scientific traction.
