Western medicine will use both hands on the patient's spine vertebra Massage, massage and adjustment, the purpose is to reduce the vertebrae on the nerve compression of the practitioner called A spinal orthotist (Chiropractor).

Orthopedist on vertebrae subluxation ( subluxation ) for patient utilization physics The lever mechanics principle is usually more effective for joint adjustment.

Massage is about science

Manual massage is more effective for cervical spondylosis Treatment measure One of them. thereof Therapeutic effect It can relieve the tension and spasm of the neck and shoulder muscle group, restore the activity of the cervical spine, and release Nerve root and Soft tissue The adhesion of the vertebral space is widened and enlarged Foramina intervertebrale Relieve the stimulation and compression of nerve vessels, promote local blood circulation, thus receiving the effect of relaxing the tendons and activating the collateral, relieving spasm and relieving the symptoms, at the same time, massage the paralyzed limbs, but also reduce muscle atrophy and prevent Joint stiffness and Articular deformity .

There are more massage and massage methods in traditional Chinese medicine, such as passive extension and rotation of cervical spine, acupoint pushing and kneading, spinous point pressure and plucking, manual traction, and pressure massage are effective therapies. In Western medicine, massage techniques mainly adopt passive activities, including pushing and shaking of the cervical spine, rotation of the cervical spine and muscle relaxation massage, etc., which is light and easy for patients to cooperate. It can not only reduce pain and numbness, but also significantly improve the movement of the cervical spine, which is a popular treatment method in the West. In addition to receiving treatment, patients should also take the initiative to exercise through Medical gymnastics Exercise the neck muscle, you can do neck extension, neck flexion, rotation, lateral flexion and other activities in all directions, 15 minutes each time, 4 times a day, the action should be slow and smooth, not to cause obvious pain as the degree. Refer to the relevant chapters of this book for details.

The treatment of massage massage should be in experienced specialist Guide the operation in case of accidents. However, because most massage doctors are not orthopedic doctors, many people are not very clear about the pathology of cervical spondylosis and the characteristics of neck anatomy, and there is no clear understanding of the risk that may be caused by heavy manipulation massage on patients with cervical spondylosis. We oppose the use of intense rotation in patients with cervical spondylosis Reduction manipulation And lift the end of the shaking and other heavy manipulation massage. Because it's in the neck Canalis vertebralis There's a lot of important nerves inside and outside Vascular tissue After the occurrence of cervical spondylosis, its room for maneuver is very limited, if improper manipulation, a small number of patients may cause spinal cord Irreversible damage Resulting in paralysis, death, etc. Therefore, remind patients to pay special attention to the fact that rough massage treatment is not acceptable, gentle massage is sometimes acceptable, but the technique must not be too heavy. Otherwise, the consequences could be catastrophic.

It is generally believed that Cervical spondylotic myelopathy Contraindicated massage and Manual therapy In clinical practice, we can see that a considerable number of patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy, due to the manipulation of massage massage, especially after heavy manipulation of the neck massage treatment, the patient's symptoms are aggravated quadriplegia Even if accepted Surgical treatment It is also difficult to recover to a better state.

In addition, due to the obvious cervical segmental instability of the patient, after receiving cervical manipulation massage, cervical instability may be aggravated and may occur Spinal cord injury To become a quadriplegic, or have neck pain, giddy Aggravating, etc., so it is also listed as the taboo of manipulation massage; It's also developmental Cervical spinal stenosis , Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical spine , hypertrophy of the yellow ligament, calcification as well Ankylosing spondylitis The spinal cord in the spinal canal has too little wiggle room. Neck shaking and shaking that the average person can tolerate. They can not tolerate, in the manipulation of massage massage may aggravate the spinal cord injury resulting in quadriplegia. Therefore, it is also a contraindication of manipulation massage.
