The word cervical spondylosis must be familiar to everyone. Stiff neck pain is easily related to cervical spondylosis. The incidence of cervical spondylosis is also very high, and with the increase of age, the incidence will be higher and higher. According to the survey data, nearly 90% of middle-aged and elderly people over 60 years old suffer from cervical spondylosis. In recent years, the incidence of cervical spondylosis is getting younger and younger. Some bad living habits, such as "low-headed people", "working people", neck injury, incorrect sitting or walking posture, etc., make more and more people suffer from cervical spondylosis. Cervical spondylosis will not only cause pain and stiffness around the neck and scapula, but also involve peripheral nerves, thus causing symptoms such as muscle weakness, headache and numbness of limbs. In severe cases, it may also lead to intestinal dysfunction and urinary incontinence. Cervical spondylosis is also an important cause of secondary hypertension. Therefore, early prevention and timely treatment are very important.

Cervical traction Cervical traction is the most effective method for non-surgical treatment of cervical spondylosis. Except for cervical tumor, cervical tuberculosis and severe cervical dislocation, cervical traction can treat and relieve almost all types of cervical spondylosis. In the process of cervical traction, the neck is gently stretched, and the cervical intervertebral disc is separated from the articular surface, which relieves the pressure and oppression of the spinal cord and nerve roots, relieves the pain in the neck, and contributes to the recovery of inflammation. However, you must consult a doctor before using cervical traction. Special tip: avoid any exercise that will aggravate the symptoms of neck pain, and choose a suitable pillow and mattress. Mattresses and pillows are not as soft as possible. Good mattresses and pillows should be soft and hard, so that the whole body can be properly supported and maintain the correct posture when standing and sitting.
