Can cervical vertebrae cause dizziness?

Cervical spondylosis is a relatively common disease with great harmful effects. It does not have much adverse effect on the body in the early stage of the disease, but if it is not treated in time, it is likely to cause dizziness, or even make the disease more serious. In this case, the best treatments include drug therapy, exercise therapy, traction therapy, massage therapy, etc. The effects are very good, and patients can choose one of them for treatment.

1. Can cervical vertebrae cause dizziness?

It is normal to experience dizziness due to cervical spondylosis, because dizziness is also one of the symptoms of cervical spondylosis patients. Patients with cervical spondylosis will often experience neck pain. It is recommended that patients can do more cervical spine exercises. It will be very helpful to move their neck and shoulders more. And when sleeping, you must pay attention to using some more moderate pillows. The pillow must be placed comfortably when sleeping to avoid stiff neck.

2. What to do if dizziness is caused by cervical spondylosis?

1. Drug treatment

The drug plays an auxiliary symptomatic role in the treatment of cervical spondylosis, can dilate blood vessels and improve blood supply to the spinal cord. You can choose to use sedatives, analgesics, and vitamins such as B1 and B12, which can have a certain alleviating effect on cervical spondylosis.

2. Exercise therapy

The so-called exercise therapy is treatment through exercise. When the symptoms of various types of cervical spondylosis are basically relieved or in a chronic state, medical gymnastics can be started to promote further elimination of symptoms and consolidate the therapeutic effect. During the acute period of cervical spondylosis, pay attention to local rest and do not increase exercise to avoid irritation.

3. Traction therapy

Although traction therapy had some effect in the treatment of cervical spondylosis in the past, we have found in recent years that many patients with cervical spondylosis did not experience relief but rather worsened their disease after using traction, especially those who used traction for a long time. Traction not only fails to promote the recovery of the physiological curvature of the cervical spine, but on the contrary, traction straightens the cervical spine and weakens the physiological curvature of the cervical spine. Therefore, traction therapy should be used with caution for cervical spondylosis.

4. Massage therapy

Massage treatment of cervical spondylosis can relieve symptoms through massage, which can effectively relieve the tension and spasm of the neck and shoulder muscles and ligaments, improve blood circulation in the neck, loosen the adhesion of nerve roots and soft tissues, and achieve the therapeutic goal of relieving the symptoms of cervical spondylosis. Generally speaking, massage treatment for cervical spondylosis should be performed once or twice a day.
