How to treat cervical vertebrae protrusion?

If the cervical spine has hyperplasia and the patient does not seek timely treatment, it can easily cause cervical vertebrae protrusion. This phenomenon is very detrimental to the health of the cervical spine. If it is delayed for a long time, it will directly affect the range of motion of the cervical spine. Generally speaking, to treat diseases such as cervical bone herniation, you can start with self-treatment.

1. Self-treatment methods:

1. Correct and improve bad habits at work: An improper working posture not only affects the treatment effect, but is also one of the main causes of the occurrence, development and recurrence of the disease, and must be taken seriously. Bad posture of the head and neck should be corrected regularly or promptly, with the time interval not exceeding half an hour, and some neck exercises should be done to allow the cervical spine to move and rest in all directions.

2. Improve and adjust sleep status: Improper sleeping posture can not only easily cause low back and leg pain, but also more easily cause or aggravate cervical spondylosis. Therefore, paying attention to improving and adjusting the position of the cervical spine during sleep and the softness, hardness and height of the pillow can play a preventive and therapeutic role.

3. Self-traction therapy: This is a measure that can produce immediate results. If you suddenly feel neck pain, or radiating pain in your shoulders, back and upper limbs, you can cross your hands, raise them above your head and place them on the neck pillow. Then tilt your head back and gradually pull your hands towards your head for 5 to 10 seconds. Repeat 3 to 4 times to relieve the pressure in the intervertebral space.

2. Late-stage care for cervical spondylosis

1. Correct posture.

The main cause of cervical spondylosis is incorrect working and studying posture. Good posture can reduce fatigue and avoid injuries. Lowering your head for too long will cause muscle fatigue, aging of the cervical discs, and chronic strain, which will lead to a series of secondary symptoms.

2. Avoid damage.

Injury to the neck can also induce cervical spondylosis. In addition to paying attention to your posture, when riding in a fast-moving vehicle and encountering a sudden brake, the head will rush forward and cause a neck sprain. Therefore, you must pay attention to protect yourself, do not doze off in the car, and avoid cervical spondylosis.

3. Use a pillow appropriately.

One third of our life is spent in bed. The height, softness and hardness of the pillow have a direct impact on the cervical spine. The best pillow should be able to support the physiological curve of the cervical spine and keep the cervical spine straight. If the pillow is not suitable, it will often cause stiff neck. Repeated stiff neck is often a precursor to cervical spondylosis and must be diagnosed and treated in time.
