Cervical spondylosis is a common disease, but many people do not understand how to treat it. In fact, the common treatment method for cervical spondylosis now is oral medication, as well as traction therapy and physical therapy. However, the use of any method should be scientific.

1, Oral medication

It is mainly used for pain relief, local inflammation, muscle relaxation, and treatment. It has a clear efficacy for secondary local soft tissue injury such as instability of the cervical spine, but it cannot treat cervical spondylosis fundamentally. For patients with weakness or numbness of the limbs, it can also be used to assist rehabilitation with nerve nutrition drugs to promote the recovery of compressed nerves.

2, Traction method

Through the mutual balance between traction force and counter traction force, the head and neck are relatively fixed in a physiological curve state, so that the phenomenon of vertebral curve malalignment gradually changes, but its efficacy is limited and is only suitable for patients with mild nerve root type cervical spondylosis; and traction is prohibited during the acute stage to prevent the aggravation of local inflammation and edema.

3, Physical therapy

Physical therapy is a short name for physical therapy. It is to apply various physical factors of nature and artificial, such as sound, light, electricity, heat, and magnetism, to the human body to achieve the purpose of treating and preventing diseases. However, its effect is relatively weak and cannot treat the root of the disease. Moreover, frequent physical therapy is prone to burn the skin.

4, Traditional Chinese medicine is profound and profound, but its efficacy is closely related to the personal experience of doctors, so it needs to be chosen carefully.
