Can the cervical curvature be straightened? It is difficult to recover!

If the cervical curvature becomes straight, it is actually difficult to recover. If this happens, we can only do a good job of care in daily life and exercise appropriately to control the disease and prevent it from worsening.

1. In fact , once the physiological curvature of the human cervical spine disappears, it is difficult to restore it to its previous state. Although it can be restored to some extent through some therapeutic exercises and treatment methods, it is unlikely to return to the same state as before in this lifetime, because people will age, the cervical spine will degenerate, and the inducing factors will exist at any time, so it is clinically unlikely to recover to the previous level. The only way is to control the disease through proper care and exercise to prevent it from further developing!

2. After the patient shows symptoms of straightening of the physiological curvature of the cervical spine, he or she can seek some corresponding treatment methods to eliminate the symptoms, maintain the stability of the cervical spine, and prevent the disease from getting worse. How to straighten the physiological curvature of the cervical spine? There are many treatment methods to straighten the cervical curvature, including traction, massage, acupuncture, needle knife, various cervical pillows, various folk remedies, etc., but patients who have experienced it know that the disease recurs repeatedly and is difficult to cure. In fact, there is no clear academic method to cure and straighten the cervical curvature. The so-called correction of cervical curvature is only theoretical and needs further clinical verification. It is certain that treating complex diseases such as straightening the cervical curvature will require a long correction process. Here are some common methods of correcting the physiological curvature of the cervical spine, hoping to be helpful to you:

3. Traction therapy. If the condition is serious or sitting traction is not possible, lying traction can be used. The traction effect is mainly determined by factors such as traction angle, time and weight. Traction may be helpful in restoring the curvature, but this requires very high levels of doctors and hospitals. If you are not careful, it may worsen the condition.

(1) Angle: If the main effect is on the lower cervical segment, the traction angle should be slightly forward, which can be between 15-30°. If the main effect is on the upper cervical segment or atlantoaxial joint, the forward angle should be smaller or vertical traction should be applied. At the same time, pay attention to adjusting the angle based on the patient's comfort.

(2) Weight: The weight of intermittent traction can be determined at 10%-20% of the patient's body weight, while the weight of continuous traction should be appropriately reduced. It is better to start with a lighter weight and then gradually increase it.

(3) Time: The traction time should be 20 minutes for continuous traction and 20-30 minutes for intermittent traction, once a day, and a course of treatment is 10-15 days.

Through the introduction in this article, you should have some understanding of the disappearance of the physiological curvature of cervical spondylosis! I hope that my sharing can help you, and I hope everyone will recover their health soon!
