How to treat cervical pain?
1, physiotherapy
Physical therapy can play a variety of roles in the treatment of cervical spondylosis.
Under normal circumstances, the use of ultrasonic therapeutic apparatus can effectively relieve cervical pain, improve local blood circulation, promote metabolism, and have analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.
2. Warm and hot compress
It can improve blood circulation, relieve muscle spasm, eliminate swelling and relieve symptoms, which is helpful to stabilize the affected cervical vertebra after manual treatment. Apply externally with a hot towel and hot water bottle. When acute patients have severe pain symptoms, it is not appropriate to do warm and hot compress treatment.
3. Exercise therapy
Mainly for the neck and shoulder muscles, swimming is a good exercise for the neck and back muscles. When the symptoms of various cervical spondylosis are basically relieved or chronic, medical gymnastics can be started to promote the further elimination of symptoms and consolidate the curative effect. During the acute attack of symptoms, you should stay in bed without increasing exercise stimulation.
4. Traction therapy
Traction therapy can help cervical vertebra to improve symptoms by relieving soft tissue adhesion. "Traction" was once one of the first choice methods to treat cervical spondylosis, but it also has some disadvantages, so it should be used strictly according to the doctor's advice.
Step 5 improve your living habits
Avoid working at a desk for a long time, avoid bending the cervical spine for a long time, and exercise the cervical spine every hour or so. The height of the pillow should be adjusted during sleep to avoid excessive bending of the neck.
