What to do if cervical spondylosis compresses blood vessels

When cervical spondylosis is more serious, it will compress the nerves and blood vessels, which will cause blood vessel bleeding obstruction and cervical spine hypoxia. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with cervical spondylosis undergo surgery to correct cervical spondylosis. In life, the best way to treat cervical spondylosis is to relieve cervical pain through acupuncture and massage, and patients need to pay more attention to the protection of the cervical spine in daily life to avoid sprain of the cervical spine.

Symptoms of cervical spondylosis compressing blood vessels

1. Cervical spondylosis compresses blood vessels and can cause symptoms such as dizziness, numbness of the limbs, so general anti-inflammatory drugs for cervical spondylosis are ineffective. You can usually use some medicated wine for massage.

2. When the symptoms become more and more severe, it may lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain. If the insufficient blood supply to the brain is sudden, it may lead to death.

3. Cervical spondylosis may compress blood vessels and cause muscle atrophy. In severe cases, it may also cause spasms in both lower limbs and paralysis.

Methods for treating cervical spondylosis

1. Drug treatment. Analgesics, sedatives, and vitamins (such as B1, B12) can be used selectively, which have a certain effect on relieving symptoms. Supportive care with glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate can be tried.

2. Manual massage therapy. It is a more effective treatment for cervical spondylosis. Its therapeutic effect is to relieve tension and spasm of the neck and shoulder muscles, restore cervical spine movement, and loosen nerve roots and soft tissue adhesions to relieve symptoms.

3. Apply warm compress. Hot towels and hot water bottles can be used for local application to improve blood circulation, relieve muscle spasms, eliminate swelling to alleviate symptoms, and help stabilize the affected vertebra after manual treatment. Warm compress treatment is not suitable for patients in the acute phase when the pain symptoms are severe.

4. Surgical treatment. If there is severe compression of the nerve roots or spinal cord, surgical treatment can be performed if necessary.

The incidence of cervical spondylosis currently has a clear increasing trend, and the patients are getting younger and younger. Cervical spondylosis is not only harmful to physical health, but also affects normal work and life. Therefore, we must pay attention to establishing a good lifestyle, avoid staying up late and causing lack of sleep, appropriately change pillow habits to suit the curvature of the cervical spine, actively exercise the muscles of the neck, shoulders and back, do not maintain the same posture for a long time, and exercise appropriately to prevent the occurrence of cervical spondylosis.
