How to relieve cervical discomfort?

How to relieve cervical discomfort?

When you have cervical spondylosis, you must actively treat it. If you leave it unattended, as the condition develops, you may end up being unable to get out of bed, or even develop complications such as heart disease, sudden collapse, or even facial paralysis. For different periods of cervical spondylosis, different treatment and relief methods should be used.

  • The acute phase canWestern medicine is the mainstayThe specific Western medical methods include surgery, local decompression, ablation, pain relief, and traction, each with its own indications;

  • The chronic phase canChinese medicine as the mainstayThe TCM methods include black ointment topical application, acupuncture, massage, ionic introduction, acupoint injection, and so on. Generally, black ointment external application is used as the basis, together with acupuncture, massage and so on.

After the appropriate medical treatment, it can be combined with some functional rehabilitation exercises.

1. Place your hands behind your neck and slowly bend your neck back to look at the ceiling and close your shoulders so that your shoulder blades are close together.

2. Maintain a good standing or sitting posture, face forward and place your ears as close to your shoulders as possible. Do this 3 to 5 times on each side.

3. Maintain good standing or sitting posture and slowly turn your head to the left and then to the right.

4. Maintaining a good standing or sitting posture, place the palm of the hand on the forehead and apply pressure against the palm and forehead. Keep your head and hands still for 5 seconds.

5. Maintaining good standing or sitting posture, place the palms of the hands on the head in all directions, and apply pressure against the palms of the hands and the head. Keep your head and hands still for 5 seconds in each direction.

6. Maintain good standing or sitting posture, place your hand on one side of your head and turn your head to the same side. Keep your head and hand still for 5 seconds on each side.

7. In a good standing or sitting position, place your hands behind your head and apply pressure against your hands and head. Keep your head and hands still for 5 seconds.

8. Maintain a good standing or sitting posture with shoulders relaxed and hands resting vertically at your sides. Shrug your shoulders upward toward your ears and hold for 3 seconds.

9. Stand with your elbows at 90 degrees, rotate your arms outward to bring your shoulder blades together on both sides, and hold for 5 seconds.

These movements canPromote blood circulation in the cervical spine area and eliminate blood stasis and edema through relaxing movements in all directions of the neck., while stretching the neck ligaments and relaxing the spastic muscles, thus reducing symptoms.

In addition, strengthening the neck muscles and their ability to tolerate fatigue, theImprovement of cervical spine stabilityIt is a good way to consolidate the treatment effect and prevent the recurrence of the disease. Neck and shoulder health exercises are suitable for patients with cervical spondylosis to carry out self-care treatment at home, which is simple, easy to learn, economical and effective.

Regarding health rehabilitation for whiplash, there is another category ofacupressure, shared below.

  • Press on the shoulder well

Press the belly of the left (right) middle finger on the contralateral shoulder well point (at the midpoint of the line connecting the great vertebrae and the shoulder crest, at the shoulder tendon), and then press gently to heavily for 15 times, alternating between the two sides.

efficacy: To energize the meridians and activate collaterals, dispel cold and settle pain.

shoulder well

  • Pressing and kneading the wind pool and pinching the muscle

Press each thumb on theipsilateral Fengchi acupoint(The hollows on the sides of the back of the neck.) Attach the remaining fingers to the sides of the head and rub from light to heavy 15 times.

Raise the left (right) hand behind the neck, place the thumb on the lateral side of the neck on the same side, and the remaining four fingers on the opposite side of the cervical muscle.Put your hands together.Lift the neck muscles upward and then relax them, and pinch them downward along the Fengchi point to the large vertebrae point alternately for 15 times on the left and right sides.

efficacy: Dispersing wind and dispersing cold, opening the orifices and relieving pain, antispasmodic and analgesic, harmonizing qi and blood.

  • massage the large vertebrae (TCM)

With the four fingers of the left (right) hand placed together on the upper back, vigorously and repeatedly massage the large vertebrae points (located in the back of the neck in the cervical vertebrae in the space below the largest vertebrae) for 30 times each, tolocalized feveris preferred, alternating sides.

efficacy: Dispersing wind and cold, activating blood circulation.

Just wrote an article about the 68-year-old mom every day "hanging" type of exercise to cure cervical spondylosis article, interested friends can go to my article to see, the article has been put on the top. So let's talk about how to relieve pain in patients with whiplash?

Cervical spondylosis is a disease based on degenerative pathological changes, manifested by degeneration of cervical intervertebral discs or intervertebral joints and a series of secondary changes, such as instability, loosening of vertebral joints, protrusion or prolapse of the nucleus pulposus, formation of bone spurs, hypertrophy of ligaments, and secondary stenosis of the spinal canal, etc., which irritates or compresses adjacent nerve roots, spinal cord, vertebral arteries, and sympathetic nerves of the cervical region, and causes a wide variety of symptoms and signs of the syndrome. Syndrome.

First of all, make sure you go to the hospital and get checked out to see what the problem is. So that the treatment can be in mind, but also more targeted. Cervical spondylosis is divided into several types, cervical cervical spondylosis, neurogenic cervical spondylosis, vertebral artery cervical spondylosis, spinal cord cervical spondylosis, sympathetic cervical spondylosis, and mixed cervical spondylosis. Generally speaking, neurogenic cervical spondylosis accounts for the largest proportion, accounting for 50-60% of the total, and has the highest incidence rate. The treatment for different types of cervical spondylosis varies.

Suspension therapy, note that this is not the familiar traction therapy. Suspension therapy is the use of a suspension bed to put the body in a state of complete relaxation, allowing the patient to release the spasm of the neck muscles, and to relieve pain and numbness through the use of massage techniques to reduce the compression. This is a combination of modern technology and traditional massage, the effect is better than a single. And the later can also be exercised to improve the strength of the neck muscles, so as to better protect the cervical spine.

Cervical traction, can release the neck muscle spasm, relax the neck muscles and restore the normal line of the intervertebral joints. It enlarges the intervertebral foramina and relieves nerve root irritation and compression. Specific treatment modalities and contraindications can go to the article I mentioned at the beginning, very detailed.

Acupuncture and massage, there is no need to go into detail, we all know. For some small joint disorders, the effect of restoring the joints by manipulation can be seen immediately. However, it should be noted that severe spinal cord compression of the cervical segment of the spinal cord type is not suitable for massage. Acupuncture is also effective in relieving pain.

Physical factor therapy, medium frequency electrotherapy, ultrasound therapy, etc.

We can apply hot compresses or some pain relief creams ourselves. Can also through the neck health exercise to treatment. The most important thing is to maintain the posture in normal life and work, and work for a period of time must get up and relax for a while. Prevention is the best treatment.

I'm Dr. Lee from the Rehabilitation Department. Click the upper right corner to follow me, stay away from sub-health and enjoy a healthy life.

Nowadays, there are more and more people suffering from cervical spondylosis, and most of them do not pay attention when the symptoms are mild, which leads to serious consequences.

I am an Internet industry workers, years of sitting in the office (busy often sit 3, 4 hours normal), making my long-term head and neck in a single position, suffering from cervical spondylosis. Often feel stiff shoulders and neck, soreness, neck activities and popping sound, often hand numbness, electrocution-like sensation, hand grip weakness, dizziness and headache is a common thing to go to the examination to understand the cervical spondylosis, and cervical spondylosis complications are also a lot of seriousness may be a side of the lumbar pain, lower limb weakness, gait clumsiness, trembling, and occasional numbness, feet on the feeling of cotton, and so on.

Then began treatment massage, acupuncture, traction, etc. have tried, but the final effect is not good, until the guess which network to see the cervical spondylosis self-treatment leisure therapy, because it does not cost any money, but also do not need other medical equipment, in the spare time can be self-treatment, I insisted on doing a period of time to find that the effect is really good, the least now will not have a dizziness and headache.

Today I am sharing it for those who are suffering from cervical spondylosis to get relief from treating cervical spondylosis.
This set of methods is not applicable to posterior cervical ligament ossification and carotid artery stenosis type of cervical spondylosis. This set of methods is completed in six steps: the first step, peristalsis; the second step, crushing; the third step, pain point; the fourth step, acupoint; the fifth step, gua sha; and the sixth step, leisure.

Therapeutic tools:

1, the home of the soft surface sofa, backrest slightly higher for good.

2, do not ask for an itch scratcher, generally have at home, a few dollars, must be made of bamboo board, no oil add no burrs, other can not be used.

Illustrative Methods:

1. Sitting on the sofa, eyes flat in front (does not affect the TV), body relaxation, hands respectively hold the ends of the scratching device (can be arbitrary grasp, in order to be able to grasp the stable, easy to make the force is best).

2, both hands holding the scratching device from the top of the head to the back of the neck behind the neck Bailao point, scratching the side of the itch device on the neck, both hands grasping the parallel force to the front, while the neck slowly back to the force, the strength of their own to withstand as well.

3, the side of the itch scratcher pressed on the neck neck Bailao point, and then the neck slowly backward force, head slowly turn around, each position turn 6-8 rounds, and then slowly upward creeping, creeping, with the side of the itch scratcher pressed tightly on the neck, the neck backward force, like polypods crawl like pressure line (scraping forward pressure line), from the neck Bailao point to the Tianzhu point creeping to the Fengfu point, and then from the Fengfu point creeping to the Tianzhu neck! Bairao point, each peristaltic distance within 12.5px, the order is: first pressure, then turn, then peristaltic, up and down six back and forth.

4, up and down after the completion of peristalsis, you will immediately have a relaxed and comfortable feeling; to do before the cervical spine if the headache caused by dizziness, do the first step of the headache and dizziness immediately disappeared. When you feel helpful, please continue the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth steps (log in).Guess Who?Or public number cn1962128 in the "guess which" can also get cervical vertebrae illustrated books), early recovery of health;

Whenever I write an article for you and my neck is sore, I think: "If I am the cervical vertebrae, I must be willing to go back to ancient times." Who in the modern society has not had a cervical spine uncomfortable time! Academic pressure, work pressure, watching TV, playing cell phones ...... cervical vertebrae overwhelmed, cervical spondylosis can be seen everywhere.

What should I do if I have cervical spine discomfort? Go to the hospital for physical therapy, traction or medication?

Today I bring you the ear point method for cervical spondylosis, and simple and good and cheap, go and take a look!

I. Auricular pressure medication method

The method of pressing medicines on the auricular points is a method of treating diseases by pressing the auricular points with hard and small medicinal seeds (e.g. Wang Bu Liuhang seeds, white mustard seeds, mung beans, etc.), pills (e.g. Liushen Pills), or other hard objects. Patients can press the paste 4 to 5 times a day to strengthen the stimulation of the acupuncture points and stabilize the therapeutic effect. Because this method is easy to operate, less expensive, no adverse reactions, and has a wide range of indications, it is widely used in the treatment of chronic diseases at home and abroad.

(Wang Bu Liu Xing Seeds and Ear Point Patch)

Operating Methods

(1) Explore the auricular points to clarify the points to be used for treatment. When applying pressure, the acupoints can be taken and matched according to the site of onset and symptoms of cervical spondylosis (see the following figure). Main points: Shenmen, sympathetic, cervical spine, neck. Allotment points: Kidney, Liver, Spleen, Occipital, Frontal, Marginal Middle, Occipital Minor Nerve Points. The main points are selected in their entirety, and the allotment points are selected according to the symptoms, with the addition of occipital, frontal and marginal center for those with dizziness symptoms.

(1) Wash the ear Kuo (i.e., the auricle) so that the adhesive tape can be easily affixed to the paste, put the paste such as Wang Bu Liuxing seeds on the tape, fix the ear Kuo with the left hand, and then put the tape that has been affixed with the medicinal seeds on the right hand to align the acupoint with the paste and press it well.

(2) choose mung beans to do the paste pressure, you can first cut the mung beans into two, or divided into two halves, to its rough surface on the adhesive tape, to the mung bean smooth surface aligned with the acupoints paste pressure.

(3) auricular acupoint pressure fixed paste, to apply a little pressure, the patient can apply pressure on their own every day, kneading 4 to 5 times, the stimulation intensity according to the patient's specific situation. Elderly and frail people should be light, acute, strong and often outdoor work to thickening of the ear, skin roughness, stimulation should be aggravated. General use of medium stimulation techniques. In short, in order to "get gas" that is, the ear acupuncture points have acid, numbness, heat, swelling and pain and other sensations to the degree.

treatments

For each application, the paste can be placed on the ear point for 3 to 7 days. Acute people can be shorter, chronic people can be longer. 5 times for 1 course of treatment, between courses of rest 3 ~ 5 days.

caveat

(1) It is important to prevent moisture and contamination of the adhesive tape, and to avoid low tension of the patch and skin infection.

(2) For those who are allergic to zinc oxide adhesive tape, they can switch to other plasters to apply pressure, and at the same time, they can apply pressure to the adrenal glands, allergic areas and other ear areas.

(3) In summer, due to sweating, it is best not to apply pressure for too long.

(4) Do not apply pressure when the earwig has frostbite or inflammation.

(5) The pain is more serious after applying the pressure, generally as long as the local slightly relax the tape or move the position can be.

(6) The auricular acupoints should not be too many at one time, generally 3 to 8 is better.

(7) When the patient presses on himself after applying the pressure, do not rub, so as not to rub the skin and cause infection.

Second, massage of the ear (points) method

This method is easy to operate, not limited by the environment and conditions, is a self-treatment, health care method. If you can persevere, you will be able to receive the effect of disease prevention and treatment, longevity and fitness.

Whole Ear Ventral Facial Massage

After the palms of both hands are warmed up by self-massage, massage the abdominal and dorsal surfaces of the earwigs. First, the ears of the backward folding massage abdomen, and then the ears of the forward folding massage back, each side of the repeated massage 5 to 6 times. You can also do the back of the ear massage, the method is to use the palms of both hands against the back of the ear gently massage, and then the palms of both hands against the ears of the abdomen, do the whole ear ventral massage, positive and negative each gently kneading 18 to 27 times, so that the whole ear is hot, red. This method can prevent and control the meridians, internal organs diseases, the whole body have health effects, is the simplest commonly used massage methods.

hand massage over the earwheel method (TCM)

Ancient cloud: "with the hands of the ear wheel, do not restrict the number of times, this so-called repair of its city, in order to fill the kidney gas, in order to prevent deafness cerumen, but also to cure the sleeplessness also." The method is to make an empty fist with both hands, with the thumb, show two fingers, along the ear wheel up and down back and forth massage, until the ear wheel is filled with blood heat until, 2 to 3 times a day. This method can prevent and control all types of cervical spondylosis, and has the role of brain, ear, eyesight, kidney, fitness.

Whole ear dorsal massage

Fold the eardrops slightly forward and massage the back of both ears with the show fingers and middle fingers of both hands, first up and then down, 5 to 10 times repeatedly, until the back of the ears are red and hot. 1 time in the morning and 1 time in the evening. This method can relieve pain, strengthen the brain and ears, tonify the kidneys and strengthen the bones, and has preventive and curative effects on neck and shoulder pain and spinal cord and vertebral artery cervical spondylosis.

auricular massage

Generally, spring pressure rods, pressure rods, and homemade pressure rods are used or the tips of the fingers are used to point, pinch and rub the ear points related to the disease. The force should be from light to heavy, so as to produce a feeling of heat and comfort locally. Nails should be trimmed to avoid damaging the skin when applying this method.

With the high pressure of human life, long-term sedentary, cervical spondylosis recurrence rate and incidence is higher and higher, seriously affecting people's quality of life, so that must have an understanding of this disease, actively face, improve the prognosis, and improve the poor lifestyle, cervical spondylosis is cervical spine osteoarthritis, proliferative cervical spondylitis, cervical nerve root syndrome, cervical disc prolapse disease of the general name, it is a kind of degenerative pathology changes as a It is a disease based on degenerative pathological changes.

It is a clinical syndrome of a series of dysfunctions mainly due to long-term cervical spine strain, osteophytes, or prolapse of intervertebral discs and thickening of ligaments, resulting in compression of the cervical spinal cord, nerve roots or vertebral arteries. The symptoms include instability and loosening of vertebral joints, protrusion or prolapse of the nucleus pulposus, formation of bone spurs, hypertrophy of ligaments and secondary spinal stenosis, etc., which stimulate or compress the neighboring nerve roots, resulting in cervical and back pain, weakness of the upper limbs, numbness of the fingers, weakness of the lower limbs, difficulty in walking, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and even blurred vision and difficulty in swallowing, etc. The disease is easily seen in middle-aged and elderly people, sleepy people, and people who are not familiar with the cervical spine. It is easy to occur in the middle-aged and elderly people, people with poor sleeping position, and people with improper sitting posture are susceptible to the disease.

1. Mild can use some cervical Fukang granules, because cervical Fukang granules is a proprietary Chinese medicine, more reliable, but take cervical Fukang granules should pay attention to: pregnant women should not be taken, such as colds, fever, nasopharyngeal pain and other patients, should be suspended to take, dizziness or numbness of the arm is serious, should go to the hospital for medical attention. Cervical spondylosis patients should strengthen the exercise of neck and shoulder muscles, free time, do the head and both upper limbs of the forward flexion, backward extension and rotation movement, is conducive to the stability of the cervical segment of the spine.

2. Cervical spondylosis can be cured through active treatment.Cervical spondylosis must be prevented on the basis of treatment in order to achieve recovery. The key to preventing cervical spondylosis is to improve bad habits in life and work. When you are working, get up every half hour, turn your head and neck, and move your cervical spine.

3. The air conditioner can not be blowing against the cervical spine, you can prepare a jacket with a collar in the office, pay attention to the warmth of the neck and shoulders.

4. Pay attention to the sleeping posture, avoid excessive neck flexion, so as not to increase the burden on the cervical spine. Exercise therapy and traction therapy should be used with caution. Warm and hot compresses: hot towels and hot water bags can be used for localized external compresses, and warm and hot compresses are not suitable for patients with severe pain symptoms in the acute stage. Physical therapy, traction therapy (must be carried out in the hospital) and so on.

5. It is recommended that we must pay attention to the correct posture, try not to look down, appropriate activities of the neck. For the spinal cord type of cervical spondylosis, especially now that winter is coming, especially be careful not to fall, fall for the cervical spine is fatal, then it is likely to cause total paralysis. Appropriate aerobic exercise, such as swimming, running, aerobics, etc., can help prevent cervical spondylosis and relieve symptoms.

Cervical spondylosis can occur due to frequent sedentary use of computers, prolonged playing of cell phones, playing games and keeping the neck in one motion for long periods of time.

Main symptoms of cervical spondylosis

The main manifestations of cervical spondylosis are:Neck pain, shoulder pain, even radiating to the upper limbs and hands, with symptoms of pain, numbness and weakness, as well as dizziness, headache, nausea and blurred vision.

Whiplash has affected a person's life, work, etc. Here are some ways to get relief from whiplash:

Ways to relieve cervical spondylosis

  1. Cupping.Cupping uses cups and jars as tools, using negative pressure to make the cups and jars adsorbed to the skin, forming localized blood stasis to get rid of the disease method. For wind-cold, dampness paralysis, swelling and pain, neck, waist and limb pain, numbness, etc., has a very good effect.

  2. Traction.The use of traction is a good way to relieve the symptoms of cervical spondylosis in patients with numbness and pain in the shoulder, back and hand areas;

  3. Nudging and massage methods.For cervical type, nerve root type of early healing effect is obvious. For example, the appearance of dizziness using massage methods can strengthen the blood supply of the vertebral artery and reduce the symptoms, but if the lower limbs have already appeared to move unfavorable people, is not suitable for this method;

  4. Exercise.Doing some head and upper limb forward flexion, backward extension, rotation and other exercises, in the relief of fatigue at the same time, can also be beneficial to the cervical spine stability;

  5. Adjust the pillow height.Do not sleep on a pillow that is too high and at the right height;

  6. Neck and shoulder warmth.Proper posture, among other things, is beneficial in improving whiplash symptoms.

Hello, for this question, how are cervical spondylosis categorized and how is it treated? First of all, I would like to answer the question of how many types of cervical spondylosis there are. Different doctors may give different classifications according to different classification criteria, but there will not be too much difference. There are 6 types of cervical spondylosis, cervical radiculopathy, vertebral artery cervical spondylosis, sympathetic cervical spondylosis, spinal cord cervical spondylosis, and mixed cervical spondylosis, which is the so-called mixed type of cervical spondylosis. The so-called mixed type is a type in which two or more of the above five types coexist. Therefore, we will mainly introduce the first 5 types and how to treat them.

Cervical Cervical Spondylosis

  • What is Cervical Cervical Spondylosis

Cervical cervical spondylosis is extremely common in clinical practice, is the earliest cervical spondylosis, and is also the common early manifestation of all other types of cervical spondylosis. It is also the common early manifestation of all other types of cervical spondylosis. Because the symptoms are light, often pay insufficient attention, so that the disease is aggravated by repeated episodes, a lot of patients with recurrent pillow falls mostly belong to this type. Cervical cervical spondylosis, also known as ligamentous joint capsule cervical spondylosis, is often commonly known as 'falling pillow' during acute attacks. This type of cervical spondylosis is mostly due to sleep pillow height is not appropriate or improper sleeping posture, cervical spine rotation more than their own movable limit, or due to the cervical spine for a long time bending, part of the intervertebral disc tissue gradually moved to the side of the extension, stimulation of the nerve root, and cause pain.'' Falling pillow' also does not exclude non-cervical factors. Such as rheumatoid myositis, neck and back muscle strain or sudden twisting of the neck when the cervical femur is cold, also

It can lead to 'falling pillow' like symptoms.

  • How to treat cervical cervical spondylosis

Cervical cervical spondylosis is mainly treated with non-surgical therapy, and all kinds of self-therapy are effective, especially self-traction therapy, physical therapy of the shoulder and neck, massage and external application of Chinese herbs. Patients with more obvious symptoms can also be protected with a neck brace, and intermittent cervical traction therapy is even more effective.

The vast majority of patients can be cured or self-cured. In daily life, work should avoid all kinds of triggering factors, especially pay attention to sleep and work position, avoid trauma, strain and cold and other adverse stimuli. As long as attention is paid to protecting the neck and avoiding various triggering factors, there are generally few relapses; however, if attention is not paid to the way of neck care, or continue to increase the load on the neck, there may be a relapse, which may lead to further development of the disease or prolong the course of the disease.

Neurogenic cervical spondylosis (highest prevalence, probably around 60%)

  • What is neurogenic cervical spondylosis

Neurogenic cervical spondylosis is a relatively common type of cervical spondylosis, generally refers to the cervical spine osteophytes, ligamentous hypertrophy and other factors, so that the cervical nerve roots, in the location of the cardinal nerve holes are compressed, and caused by the patient is generally manifested as the nerve root innervated area of the limb pain and numbness, of course, patients with a long time of compression, will also be combined with a certain degree of muscular dystrophy, limb strength loss, etc. A series of performance

  • How to treat nerve root cervical spondylosis

Neurogenic cervical spondylosis is mainly treated with non-surgical therapy, and more than 98% of patients can be cured or improved. Traction therapy coupled with

Appropriate cervical circumferential braking and analgesic and antispasmodic medications such as Somiton have been shown to have a significant effect.Tui na massage and other manipulative operations also have a certain degree of efficacy, but should be rich in clinical experience and gentle operation of the regular physician or therapist treatment, do not operate roughly, otherwise it is easy to cause accidents, especially cervical spinal stenosis and bone spurs and hyperplasia of the main patients should be more careful, due to the tui na error caused by the medical disputes can be encountered every year.

Vertebral artery cervical spondylosis (prevalence of about 20% of cervical spondylosis)

  • What is Vertebral Artery Carotid Disease

Vertebral artery cervical spondylosis is a series of symptoms caused by insufficient blood supply to the vertebral arteries due to compression or irritation. As we have mentioned earlier, the cervical spine is the most active spinal segment, and thus is prone to strain, and with age and accumulation of injuries, cervical degeneration occurs, especially in the 4-5 and 5-6 cervical spine segments, which are problematic segments. Because of the cervical degeneration, including the backward protruding intervertebral discs, hooked vertebral joints or vertebral bone spurs, as well as vertebral body subluxation or the upper articular process to the side of the slipped, can be compressed vertebral arteries or stimulate the sympathetic plexus around the vertebral arteries, so that the vertebral arteries spasms, narrowing the lumen, resulting in the vertebral arteries basilar arteries blood supply is insufficient, giving rise to a series of clinical symptoms. Under normal circumstances, the left and right vertebral arteries can regulate each other's blood flow to cope with the compression caused by cervical spine activities, so that the blood flow is normally supplied to the brain tissue. For example, when the head turns to the left, the left side of the vertebral artery is twisted or twisted to increase the narrowing of the lumen, the blood flow is reduced, which is the right side of the vertebral artery that is automatically adjusted to make up for the compensatory increase in blood flow, which does not cause ischemia of the brain tissue. If the side of the vertebral artery due to stiffness or by the compression and stimulation of bone spurs caused by the narrowing of the lumen, became 'a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river --- since the life of the difficult to protect', those compensatory increase in blood flow? Therefore, leading to a series of manifestations of basilar artery ischemia, producing vertebral artery-type carotid spondylosis. Vertebral artery-type cervical spondylosis is a common disease in middle-aged and elderly people.

  • How to Treat Vertebral Artery Carotid Disease

non-surgical treatmentIt can improve and cure 80%-90% of patients. In mild cases, the patient can be protected by a neck circumference, while in severe cases, traction therapy is needed, which generally requires 3-4 weeks of continuous traction in bed and 4-6 weeks of cervical braking with a jaw-cervical cast, with an efficiency rate of more than 90%. 10% - 20% of the patients need decompressive surgery.

surgical treatmentIt is suitable for individual patients who have been treated for a long time without effect or whose recurrent episodes have affected their work and life, especially when accompanied by spinal nerve root or spinal cord compression, the operation rate is higher. The prognosis of vertebral artery-type cervical spondylosis is mostly good, especially for patients who suffer from instability of vertebral joints. The results of surgical treatment for those with severe symptoms are mostly satisfactory, with few recurrences.

Sympathetic cervical spondylosis (prevalence around 5%)

  • What is sympathetic cervical spondylosis

交感型颈椎病也是颈椎病的一种,多由于椎体失稳引起脊旁交感神经压迫,导致植物神经紊乱,出现一系列症状,而且由于压迫的位置不同,患者的表现也各不相同,比如上段椎体失稳,容易引起头晕 精神不振 失眠多梦 血压异常,中段容易引起咽部异物感 颈部感觉异常,下段有胸闷心悸 呼吸不畅 In the lower segment, there is chest tightness, palpitation, dyspnea, especially when accompanied by thoracic spine small joint disorder, stomach pain, chest rib pain and other symptoms, a few people also have abnormal sweating, skin sensation of the upper limbs, so it is easy to cause misdiagnosis or omission of the diagnosis, in particular, many patients are not purely a manifestation of cervical spine, but more often manifested as a mixed cervical spine disease symptoms


  • How to treat sympathetic cervical spondylosis

Sympathetic cervical spondylosis should also be treated with non-surgical treatment, and most patients can be relieved and cured by non-surgical treatment. Treatment methods include bed rest, cervical traction, cervical collar protection and physical therapy. Bed rest, cervical collar braking protection and cervical traction can relieve the spasm of the cervical muscles, enlarge the intervertebral space and reduce the stimulation of the sympathetic nerves. Neck brace and collar can limit the excessive activity of cervical vertebrae, and gentle manipulation massage and physical therapy can accelerate the reduction of local inflammatory edema, relax the muscles, and improve the local blood circulation. For stubborn cases, conservative treatment is ineffective, in the cervical spine high epidural closure or sympathetic ganglion closure after a clear diagnosis, can consider surgical treatment. Surgery removes the protruding intervertebral discs and part of the hyperplasia of the hook vertebral joints and bone spurs, and intervertebral bone grafting to stabilize the unstable cervical vertebrae so as to achieve the therapeutic purpose.

Spinal Cervical Spondylosis

  • What is Spinal Cervical Spondylosis

When the cervical vertebrae do flexion and extension activities, the cervical vertebrae also move up and down; when the cervical vertebrae are flexed forward, the medulla oblongata is subjected to tensile stress and becomes thin and forward; when the cervical vertebrae are extended backward, the medulla oblongata becomes thicker and shorter, and adheres to the posterior part of the spinal canal. This turbulence, subject to different degrees of friction damage and cause cervical spondylosis. According to the location, degree of damage to the cervical spinal cord and clinical manifestations, spondylotic cervical spondylosis can be categorized into three types: central type, vertebral body bundle type and transverse type. Centralized cervical spondylosis, also known as 'upper limb type', is a series of symptoms caused by damage to the anterior and posterior horn cells of the spinal cord, with damage to the anterior horn motor cells being the most common. Also due to arterial compression or stimulation, one side of the compression manifested as a side of the symptoms, bilateral compression manifested as bilateral symptoms, the patient feels numbness in the upper limbs, fatigue, finger extension and flexion activities can not be free. Some patients have atrophy of the interosseous muscles and interosseous muscles of the hand, and the muscle tone and tendon reflexes of the affected muscles may be weakened or disappeared. Cone-bundle type, due to the aggravation of centralized cervical spondylosis, the vertebral bundle of the spinal cord is compressed and damaged. The main symptoms of spinal cord cervical spondylosis are slow progressive numbness of both lower limbs, coldness, pain and weakness, walking float, like stepping on cotton, unstable gait, easy to fall. In the early stage of the disease, the symptoms are often intermittent, appearing after too much walking or exertion every day. As the disease progresses, the symptoms may gradually worsen and become persistent. The above symptoms are mostly bilateral lower limbs, unilateral is less common.


  • How to Treat Spinal Cervical Spondylosis

Non-surgical treatments can be tried in the early stage of spinal cord cervical spondylosis, mainly rest, neck traction, neck circumference protection and drug therapy. Light hand massage or physiotherapy can be practiced on the neck.But don't manipulate.The surgery should be considered for any of the following conditions: - Pushing, lifting, and repositioning, especially with heavy manipulation. Surgery should be considered for any of the following conditions.

  1. Significant symptoms of cervical spinal cord compression (acute, progressive) and significant spinal cord compression has been confirmed by MRI or CTM, etc.; and

  2. Those with a long course of disease and worsening symptoms with a clear diagnosis; and
  3. Those who have moderate or mild symptoms of spinal cord compression but do not improve with more than 1~2 courses of non-surgical therapy and it affects their work and normal life.

From these cervical spondylosis treatments, you should be able to see which types of cervical spondylosis require professional handling when manipulating, and which types of cervical spondylosis are not suitable for manipulation.

In the final analysis, the specific situation has to be treated specifically, and the best choice is to go to a regular hospital for regular treatment.

I believe that most people now have a mild or serious cervical spondylosis, which is mainly because of the current work and lifestyle changes, to regulate cervical spondylosis Xu note a few aspects:

First, it is strictly forbidden to keep a posture for a long time:

Many people because of driving, sitting in the office or work special, need to keep a posture unchanged for a long time, or did not pay attention to the lazy change, which is not desirable, after all, life is movement, health is exercise, so we have to move the body's joints from time to time to maintain the coordination of the various parts of the body, to ensure that the blood and Qi of a reasonable flow.

Second, never stay up late:

Staying up late hurts the mind as well as the body, and staying up late for a long time will lead to one's own sub-healthy state, and all kinds of physical problems will gradually appear, such as bad breath, pharyngitis, dry or oily skin, acne, endocrine disorders, constipation, and dry hair, etc., which may be caused by staying up late for a long time. So go to bed on time.

III. Maintaining physical activity:

Long time to maintain physical exercise is a very good habit, to eliminate toxins in the body, as well as the body's blood circulation has a very good effect, this is what we all know, I will not say more, and now we are working for a long time, the time may not be able to control, but I suggest that you every afternoon, half an hour of exercise after work, we may be off work at 5:30 or 6 o'clock, the time is just right, not too early, not too late, oxygen is also enough to relieve the fatigue of a day at work, just choose the nearest location to run, push-ups and so on. Not too early, not too late, oxygen is also enough, you can dissolve the fatigue of the day's work, choose the nearest place to run, push-ups, etc. on the line.

Fourth, use hot water compresses:

Can delay the pain, keep exercising every day to restore their own bodies, can also be combined with some drugs to regulate! But the main thing is to insist on exercising yourself.
