3.Cervical traction therapy As shown in the figure:
① seated traction: the patient sits on a stool, fix the lower jaw and occiput with a four-headed belt, traction upwards vertically, with weight as counter traction, weight up to 2-8kg, half an hour each time, 1-2 times a day, depending on the patient’s response and increase or decrease the traction time and weight, 15 days for a course of treatment, suitable for patients with mild symptoms and suitable for when working in between.
②Reclining traction: The patient lies on his back with his head and feet elevated, and traction is performed with a four-headed belt at an angle of 30° to the longitudinal axis of the body. The weight is 3kg, every 2 hours of traction, rest for 1 hour, can be several times a day. It is suitable for those whose symptoms seriously affect their lives and workers. Traction is mainly applied to patients with neurogenic cervical spondylosis. Secondly, spinal cord type, sympathetic type and arterial type cervical spondylosis are not suitable for traction. Choose the traction method that suits you, master the weight of traction, generally traction from 2 kg, 2-3 days without discomfort, can gradually increase 1-2 kg. Generally not more than 7-9 kg. The best traction weight varies from person to person, and it is appropriate to gradually increase the weight and make the patient feel comfortable; otherwise, it will not only have no effect, but also cause discomfort or aggravate the condition.
Can cervical spondylosis cause paralysis? Many cervical spondylosis patients are worried about whether they will be paralyzed, so that the burden of thought is heavy and the mood is not high, and in serious cases the psychological disorder affects the treatment of cervical spondylosis. The spinal cord type of cervical spondylosis can indeed cause paralysis in severe cases, accounting for 20% of cervical spondylosis patients. However, other types of cervical spondylosis can directly cause spinal cord cervical spondylosis in severe cases, so patients must pay attention to neck care and sitting posture in daily life to prevent acute neck injury. Reduce the chance of cervical spondylosis attack. In patients with spinal cervical spondylosis, minor trauma can aggravate the symptoms and even paralysis. Therefore, we must pay great attention to the disease and treat it in time to prevent the occurrence of irreversible degeneration of the spinal cord.
In clinical practice, we use “amber cream” for external application and “cervical Xinshu” for internal conditioning to achieve breakthroughs, so that patients with severe cervical spondylosis can be cured within 1-5 courses and paralyzed patients can resume self-care. Why is there a “gat” and “gat” sound in the neck? This is due to the fact that people who work with their heads down for a long time or those who are engaged in a specific occupation are prone to strain or strain on the ligaments and muscles of the neck, resulting in ligament degeneration, calcium salt deposition and calcification. The ligaments rub against each other during neck activities, resulting in the above-mentioned ringing sound. Some people feel stiff and uncomfortable in the neck, and when they press and rub the neck, they can feel hard lumps in the muscles.
On X-ray, calcified shadows with increased density can be seen at the edges of the 3-7 spinous processes and joints of the cervical spine. At the same time, there were different degrees of osteophytes. The doctor diagnosed calcification of the cervical ligament. All these indicate that the cervical spine has degenerative changes, and the occurrence of cervical spondylosis at any time or already, which must be paid attention to. Early detection, early treatment, cervical spondylosis is completely possible to get a complete recovery. Cervical spondylosis should start at an early age. We often hear that certain high school candidates often experience dizziness, headaches, insomnia, memory loss, slow thinking, mental irritability and other neurological weaknesses before the entrance exams due to the increased pressure of learning, and some of them fail to make the grade as a result. Some parents love their sons and daughters, in order to be successful, and brain tonic, and oxygen, buy a lot of supplements, spend a lot of money, the situation still has not improved, I do not know, it is cervical spondylosis in the blame.
In the clinic, we often encounter middle school or high school students for tension headache, insomnia, neurasthenia and consultation, these patients, the neck examination are present in the cervical muscle tension, contracture phenomenon, and even have cervical muscle blunt thick, small joint displacement, etc., through manipulation relaxation external paste treatment, strengthen physical exercise, the above conditions quickly improve, academic performance improved significantly. Why do they get cervical spondylosis? This is because from elementary school to high school and even college, students are located for a long time in the ambulatory state, sitting improperly, and the middle of the physical activity and less, plus the whole society is popular computer, and some students are addicted to it, you can imagine how serious the damage to the cervical muscle and other soft tissues caused by this condition, so that the brain to withstand the excessive load of learning and occurred.
These students will become cervical spondylosis patients earlier when their burden is reduced and their symptoms abruptly alleviated after they fall out of school or step into society. Even if there are no symptoms, cervical muscle damage, myofasciitis, and small joint disorders are definitely present. This is the reason why the age of onset of cervical spondylosis in our society is getting younger and younger. Generally 20-30 years old should be active thinking, creative period, due to cervical spondylosis and cause a decline in work efficiency, which is now the knowledge economy, a country will be how big loss, so we call on the whole society, human cervical spondylosis should start from childhood.
Cervical spondylosis patients with high pillow good or with a low pillow good. Experts believe that the height of the pillow to 8-12 cm is good, and have a better breathability. Some patients use high pillow for a long time, a heard that high pillow is not good, immediately without pillow results in neck pain and other symptoms aggravated. Our experience is usually use a high pillow or low pillow feel comfortable, that the cervical spine have problems, the onset of symptoms as long as they can be reduced; regardless of the height is appropriate, through treatment, gradually adjust the pillow to the appropriate height. Cervical spine exercise methods and self-care essentials exercise methods.
1, look at the sky to see the ground: look at the sky when the head back to the limit, look at the ground when the jaws try their best to close to the chest, repeat 10 times.
2, left and right rotation, head slowly rotate to the left or right, look at the back of the shoulder to the maximum (do not force too hard). Repeat 10 times continuously.
3.Left and right lateral flexion: should be slowly lateral flexion to the left to the right, ears close to the shoulders, body shoulders remain unmoving, repeat left and right 10 times.
4, with the head from the right to the left to do a circle of movement, each direction of action to the limit, try to straighten the neck muscles, left and right repeat 10 times.
Self-care
Cervical spondylosis exercise method has a variety of, master not moderate, not only can not play the purpose of consolidating the effectiveness of the disease, but also lead to a relapse, so in the exercise must pay attention to the following points;
1, slow, movement may be as slow as possible to prevent dizziness, headache.
2, loose, when exercising, the neck muscles must be relaxed, try not to force, so that the muscle joints. Get stretched, promote the circulation of blood and Qi, accelerate recovery.
3, quiet, exclude distractions, focus on practice, enjoy yourself, play a good regulation of physical and mental health.
4, constant, exercise should be persistent, 3 times a day, each time should be as much as possible, after the practice of self-care massage, such as pinch a pinch, point press Fengchi, large vertebrae, shoulder well points, will have satisfactory results.
Neck care includes.
① Keep warm, pay attention to wind and cold invasion, such as sweating, after meals, after bathing, after sleep, pay attention to prevention.
② Diet: eat more bean products, yam, etc.
③ pillow, choose breathable, can always adjust the height of the pillow to the physiological position is better, the general height of 8cm ~ 15cm is appropriate.
