How to treat cervical compression of nerves

Depending on the severity of cervical spine compression, general treatment, physical therapy, Chinese medicine treatment, drug treatment, surgical treatment and so on should be carried out. 1. General treatment: Avoid prolonged head-down work and playing with cell phone, strengthen neck muscle strength training, such as neck resistance training, strengthen neck rest, keep warm, and avoid neck trauma. 2. Physiotherapy: Brake the cervical vertebrae, do proper traction or wear a neck brace under the guidance of professionals to ensure the stability of the cervical vertebrae, and effectively avoid stiffness and pain in the neck. Physical therapy such as electric grilling and hot compresses can also be used to reduce the edema of the nerve roots and relieve the symptoms. 3. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment: If the cervical spine compresses the nerves, a professional TCM doctor can choose to carry out local massage or acupuncture, which can relax the tension of the neck muscles. 4. Medication: Nutritional nerve medications such as methylcobalamin and vitamin B1 can be taken to reduce pain and numbness, and non-steroidal pain medications such as ibuprofen and celecoxib can be taken orally for pain relief. 5. Surgery: If the compression is heavy and the above treatments are ineffective, surgery can be considered, such as anterior or posterior cervical spine surgery. If there are symptoms related to cervical compression of nerves, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to improve the examination, to clarify the severity of the disease, and to carry out standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor, and should avoid blind self-medication.
