How is the effect of acupuncture points for hand numbness in cervical spondylosis

Cervical spondylosis is a common disease in today's life. It is mainly related to some habits in daily life and work. After suffering from cervical spondylosis, symptoms such as numbness and soreness in the head, shoulders, back and arms will appear, and the neck will become stiff, and the neck will be restricted in certain activities. Many patients with cervical spondylosis hope to be cured through acupuncture.

How is the effect of acupuncture points for cervical spondylosis

Arm numbness caused by cervical spondylosis can be cured immediately by repositioning the arm. Acupuncture cannot relieve the compression of the nerves caused by the dislocated cervical vertebra 6, so it is just a waste of money and pain. The numbness of the right hand, swelling and pain in the hand, and swelling and pain in the arm caused by cervical spondylosis is reduced because the dislocation of cervical vertebrae 5 and 6 squeezes the cervical nerves and blood vessels.

Precautions for cervical spondylosis massage

1. Massage the chest to strengthen the heart

Use the thumb and four fingers of one hand to massage along the Tanzhong, Tianchi and Shenfeng points. Use the other hand to massage from the Tiantu point on the neck (located on the anterior midline of the neck, in the middle of the suprasternal fossa) to the Jiuwei point at the bottom of the chest (located 7 inches above the navel and half an inch below the xiphoid process). Repeat 100 times.

2. Massage the neck to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis

Separate the thumbs and four fingers of both hands, and pinch the Lianquan point (located on the front midline of the neck, above the Adam's apple, in the depression on the upper edge of the tongue), Renying point (located 1.5 inches away from the Adam's apple on the neck), and Tiantu point at the lower end of the throat 100 times each. Then use both hands to rhythmically press and rub the Tianzhu point (located in the depression behind the hairline at the edge of the trapezius muscle of the neck, approximately 1.3 inches away from the center of the back hairline) and Yamen point (located on the posterior midline of the neck, in the depression between the 1st and 2nd cervical spines) behind the neck 64 times each. Press and rub with the head in a pitching and tilting motion.
