First, we look at how cervical spondylosis?

Cervical spondylosis is a strain of cervical degenerative disorders, and long neck flexion gestural. Serious oppressing to upper limb neural or vertebral arteries leading tothe brain and cause the arm to the acid attack pain or dizziness, or even the lower center-spinal cord nerve and resulting body weakness. Have a lot of friends have shoulder and neck pain problems, in fact, is the result of work and life, and require reasonable adjustment and exercises

Second, to look at what people cervical spondylotic myelopathy

The middle-aged and elderly population

With the increase of age, cervical disc deformation caused by excessive chronic strain, elastic weakens, edge of the vertebral bone Spurs formed, joint disorders, ligaments thickened, calcified and a series of degenerative pathology, so that more elderlypeople suffering from cervical spondylosis.

Poor posture

Some occupations, such as: office workers, computer operators, workers, teachers, accountants, researchers, typists, drivers, sportsmen, laboratory analyst, heavy manual labor, because long-term fixed position, keep the neck extensor muscles of neck inspasticity, long

A long time, so that neck flexion-extension muscular imbalance, causing spinal imbalance, and ultimately lead to cervical spondylosis.

Poor sleep posture

Person's life 1/3 of the time spent in bed, the height of the pillow to be scientific. Pillows too high will cause the neck muscles, ligaments and joints imbalance, accelerated degeneration of the cervical spine.

Bad habits

 

Long bow playing mahjong, playing cards, watching television, reading newspapers,these bad habits and making prolonged flexion of the cervical spine, neck muscles and ligaments overload, easily lead to strained

Have a history of trauma and congenital anomalies of the cervical spine

Cervical spine injury due to trauma caused, those with congenital abnormalities of the cervical spine, belong to the high risk of cervical spondylotic myelopathy.

See how to use Yoga therapy to adjust spondylosis?

Many kinds of physical factors, for the rehabilitation of two categories: First, the use of physical factors of nature, sun, Air, sea, spa and spa and other therapies; the second is the application artificial physical factors, there are electrical, optical, ultrasonic, magnetic, Heat treatment, water and bio-feedback.

The role of physical therapy  

1. Anti-inflammatory: acute inflammation such as the choice of ultraviolet, microwave, ultrashort wave therapy for subacute or chronic inflammation can choose short Waves, infrared therapy.   
2. Analgesic: such as magnetic, electrical interference therapy, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation showed a significant analgesic effect.  
3. Sedation: hydrotherapy, electric sleep therapy, negative air ion therapy.  
4. Excitatory effects: low frequency and medium frequency electrical therapy to treat muscular atrophy.   
5. Improve blood circulation: Spa, DC therapy, high-frequency electric therapy can cause tissue reaction congestion.  
6. Regulating autonomic and visceral.   
7. Loosen adhesions and scar softening: ultrasonic, audio therapy were significantly loosen adhesions and scar softening effect.  
8. Sterilization: for example, ultraviolet therapy.   
9. Cancer: high-frequency, microwave, and other methods for hyperthermia treatment of cancer have a certain effect.   

The superiority of physical therapy

50 First time, it was noted that the physical factor has its unique role in the care and treatment of disease, particularly in sub-health stateState treatment,It shows incomparable superiority.With the development of technology,Equipment and means of physical therapy factors also dayMore perfect.
