How to cure cervical spine osteophytes to be completely cured

Cervical spondylolisthesis is a degenerative lesion that usually cannot be completely cured. Symptoms can be improved by rest, correction of poor posture, local heat application and physical therapy, traction, acupuncture, massage or medication. If the symptoms of spinal stenosis or compression of neurovascular are serious, surgery can be considered for treatment. Mild cervical spine osteophytes generally do not require treatment in the absence of specific symptoms, and should be treated by strengthening rest, regulating sitting posture, moderate cervical activities, and avoiding excessive strain on the cervical spine caused by maintaining the same posture for a long time. Try to do a good job of keeping the cervical spine warm and avoid stimulation by cold or moisture. If symptoms such as soreness and pain in the neck and shoulders occur in cervical spine osteophytes, local traction and massage or hot physiotherapy can be used to promote local blood circulation and improve pain symptoms. Acupuncture under the guidance of a physician can also be helpful. If the pain is more obvious, you can take oral NSAIDs such as diclofenac sodium extended-release capsules to relieve it. If the osteophytes gradually worsen leading to narrowing of several spinal canals in the cervical spine, thus causing compression of the spinal nerves, symptoms such as numbness, weakness or dizziness in the extremities and blurred vision may occur. In this case, surgery is usually required, including both anterior and posterior surgery, to enlarge the spinal canal and reduce the symptoms of nerve compression.
