With the change of modern lifestyle, there are more and more people with low head, mobile party and driving people, and the incidence of cervical spondylosis is also increasing. Some studies show that the incidence rate of cervical spondylosis has exceeded that of diabetes, becoming a huge threat to human health! However, do so many cervical spondylosis need surgical treatment? The answer, of course, is no! The majority of cervical spondylosis can be treated conservatively, and surgery only accounts for a small part.
Principle of medical cervical support in treating cervical spondylosis
The main functions of the Cervical Collar are as follows:
(1) Fix the cervical vertebra in an appropriate position to maintain normal physiological curvature;
(2) Limit the abnormal activity of cervical vertebra and reduce the unstable factors;
(3) Support the head weight and reduce its pressure on the cervical spine;
(4) Reasonable wear can play a certain role in cervical traction;
(5) Effective external fixation can obviously reduce local inflammation and nerve root edema, and effectively relieve symptoms!
Who is fit to wear medical Cervical Collar?
Cervical radiculopathy and cervical spondylotic myelopathy are both caused by compression and stimulation of the nerve root or spinal cord. Wearing a neck bracket for such patients can limit movement and traction, and reduce local pain and nerve root stimulation.
Sympathetic cervical spondylosis is mainly due to sympathetic nerve stimulation caused by abnormal activities of the cervical spine, that is, symptoms caused by instability of the cervical spine. The use of the neck bracket can also play a role in restricting activities.
Precautions for wearing medical Cervical Collar:
(1) Wear it strictly, don't be afraid of looking ugly, don't be afraid of trouble, three days to catch fish, two days to wear the net can't cure;
(2) Select appropriate type and size;
(3) The neck bracket cannot be worn for a long time, otherwise it will cause dependence, and it is easy to cause the disuse force of the neck muscle to be weak and atrophy.
In a word, the rational application and skillful use of the medical neck support can effectively treat cervical spondylosis, which is a sharp tool for conservative treatment of cervical spondylosis!
