What should I do if I have pain in the middle of my spine when I wake up in the morning?

A normal spine is very important to people's health because it can support the body's shape without changes, maintain the stability of the body, and at the same time promote a healthier body. When there is a problem with the spine, it has a huge impact on people's lives. For example, what should some people do if they often experience pain in the middle of their spine when they wake up in the morning? Let’s take a look at the relevant explanations below. I hope everyone can understand.

1. Acupuncture to relieve pain

The principle of acupuncture acupoint selection is to combine local acupoint selection with acupoint selection along the meridians, and the corresponding acupoints are selected according to the results of syndrome differentiation. The tender points beside the spinous processes of the cervical vertebrae, or round and cord-shaped positive reaction points should be selected, with Fengchi, Dazhui, Jianjing, Tianzong, Lieque, Zhongzhu and Houxi as the main points, and 3-4 points should be acupunctured each time.

2. Chiropractic massage

The patient remains quiet, relaxes his whole body, and breathes evenly. The doctor concentrates his attention, circulates energy from Dantian, and the force reaches the arms, through the elbows, and finally to the hands, applying force to the patient. This technique is divided into muscle relaxation and spasm relief type and reduction, loosening and correction type.

3. Treatment with Chinese medicine

Make a blood-activating, anti-inflammatory and analgesic plaster with Saposhnikovia divaricata, Earthworm, Safflower, Zedoaria, Costusroot, and Sanling, and apply it to the patient's neck, shoulders and back for 12-24 hours. Change it once a day and do not use it continuously for more than 10 times. Patients with skin allergies are prohibited from using this method.

4. Traction therapy

The patient sits on the traction chair, puts on the traction belt, fixes the traction belt to the patient's occipital and mandibular part, and tilts the head forward 15 degrees. The initial traction weight is 3-5kg, and then the traction weight is increased appropriately according to the patient's condition. Each time is 20-30 minutes, the maximum traction weight should not exceed 10kg, and traction should not be done for a long time.

Massage cannot cure cervical spondylosis. First of all, from the perspective of treatment, massage is not a cure, it can only have a alleviating effect. Secondly, massage may produce some adverse consequences. In fact, massage causes muscles to temporarily lose their function through strong stimulation.

If the patient has an acute attack or first attack of cervical spondylosis, he must pay attention to proper rest. If the condition is serious, he must rest in bed for a period of time. Rest for 2 to 3 weeks under the guidance of a doctor.
