What should I do if my fingers become numb due to cervical vertebrae?

As the pace of life accelerates, people's life pressure is getting greater and greater. Many young people face their mobile phones or computers for a long time for various reasons. Although they are young, they have cervical spondylosis. What's more uncomfortable is that while patients with cervical spondylosis suffer from cervical spondylosis, they also have to endure a series of complications caused by it, such as numbness of fingers. Many patients with cervical spondylosis have experienced this situation. To avoid this situation, you must first solve the problem of the cervical spine.

(1) Have a correct understanding of the disease and build confidence in overcoming the disease:

The course of cervical spondylosis is relatively long. The degeneration of the intervertebral disc, the growth of bone spurs, and the calcification of the ligaments are related to age and body aging. The disease often recurs, and the symptoms may be severe during an attack, affecting daily life and rest. Therefore, on the one hand, we must eliminate fear and pessimism, and on the other hand, we must prevent the mentality of muddling through and giving up active treatment.

(2) About rest:

Patients who are in the acute stage or first attack of cervical spondylosis should pay proper attention to rest, and those with severe conditions should rest in bed for 2-3 weeks. Bed rest plays an important role in relaxing the neck muscles, reducing muscle spasms and the pressure of the head weight on the intervertebral discs, and relieving tissue compression edema. However, bed rest time should not be too long to avoid changes such as muscle atrophy, tissue adhesion, and joint adhesion, which will hinder the recovery of cervical spondylosis. Therefore, during the intermittent and chronic stages of cervical spondylosis, you should participate in work appropriately. No long rest periods are required.

(3) About maintenance:

The human body is like a complex machine that requires constant maintenance. Especially for cervical spondylosis, which is itself a degenerative disease, it is even more important to protect the neck and try to avoid unnecessary injuries. Whether it is sleeping or resting. Whether you are studying, working, or even doing some daily movements, you must maintain good habits and always remember to protect your cervical spine. At the same time, strengthen the neck muscle exercises.

(4) Regarding treatment :

There are two types of treatments for cervical spondylosis: non-surgical and surgical. The vast majority of patients can relieve symptoms or even be cured through non-surgical treatment. However, each treatment method has its own unique operation, effects and indications, requires the guidance of a specialist, and has a certain course of treatment. Avoid trying all kinds of medical treatments in a hurry, changing treatment methods frequently or using multiple methods at the same time, as this will not only fail to achieve the desired treatment effect. Instead, it aggravates the condition.
