Benefits of neck massage

If you massage your neck frequently in your daily life, there will definitely be many benefits. Especially when the incidence of cervical spondylosis is so high now, you should massage your neck more often to relax your neck. Especially after working for a period of time, you should move your neck so that it won't be so stiff.

Massage and acupressure are relatively effective treatment measures for cervical spondylosis. Its therapeutic effects on cervical spondylosis are: 1. Unblocking blood vessels, relieving pain and numbness.

2. Widen the intervertebral space, enlarge the intervertebral foramen, correct vertebral slippage, and relieve nerve compression.

3. Loosen nerve roots and soft tissue adhesions to relieve symptoms.

4. Relieve muscle tension and restore cervical spine activity.

4. Massage of paralyzed limbs can reduce muscle atrophy and prevent joint stiffness and deformity.

1. Massage treatment for cervical spondylosis should select appropriate massage techniques according to the condition of the disease. Improper technique may cause great harm. Especially for patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy, a clear diagnosis should be made before massage treatment and the massage reaction should be closely observed.

2. The amount of stimulation used in massage techniques varies from person to person, and the bigger the better is not necessarily true. Because most patients with cervical spondylosis are middle-aged and elderly people with weak constitution. During manual therapy, attention should be paid to gender and age differences. For example, men are strong and have a high tolerance, so the technique should be slightly heavier; women are weak and have a low tolerance, so the technique should be slightly lighter; the elderly have weak qi and blood, weak muscles, sclerosis of blood vessels, and osteoporosis, so the technique should be gentle, light, and accurate, with force applied to the affected area; young people have abundant blood and qi, so the technique should be steady, accurate, with force applied deep into the affected area.

3. For patients with cervical vertebrae dislocation, the reduction technique should be more gentle and accurate.

4. During treatment, pay attention to changes in the patient's pulse and the strength and speed of his breathing. Once the patient shows any discomfort, stop the technique immediately and take active measures.

5. There are many treatments for cervical spondylosis. Massage is a commonly used method for treating cervical spondylosis. Massage can relieve local muscle spasms, improve local blood circulation, strengthen the strength of the neck muscles, increase the stability of the cervical spine, and achieve the purpose of relieving symptoms. It is suitable for most patients with cervical spondylosis.

However, for spinal cervical spondylosis and esophageal cervical spondylosis, massage cannot achieve the purpose of treatment. On the contrary, if the technique is too heavy, it may aggravate the original symptoms. Especially for patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy, the diameter of the cervical spinal canal becomes smaller due to various reasons, which compresses the spinal cord and reduces the buffering space of the spinal cord in the spinal canal. Improper manipulation can cause a brief and severe impact on the spinal cord, resulting in immediate paralysis of the patient. This situation also occurs frequently in clinical practice, and severe cases can cause lifelong high-level paraplegia in patients.

In addition, for esophageal cervical spondylosis, massage and acupressure cannot relieve the pressure on the esophagus, so surgical treatment is better for spinal cervical spondylosis and esophageal cervical spondylosis.
