Title: Cervical Spondylosis - Now 100% Guaranteed Cure For Neck Pain

Author: Pratik Lalwani

Article:
CERVICAL SPONDYLOSIS - AUXILIARY TREATMENT - YOGA

There is a strong tendency for the symptoms of cervical
spondylosis to subside spontaneously, though they may persist
for several months and the structural changes are clearly
permanent.

Treatment is thus aimed at assisting natural resolution of
temporarily inflamed or edematous soft tissues. In mild cases
physiotherapy may be recommended (radiant heal, short wave
diathermy, massage, traction or exercises).

In the more severe cases judicious use of a close-fitting
cervical collar for supporting the neck (it should be worn for
1-3 months depending on progress) and rest to the neck is
advisable.

In the exceptional cases in which the spinal cord is
constricted, decompression from front or by laminectomy may be
required and thereafter it may be advisable to fuse the affected
segments of the spinal column by a bone-grafting operation.

Physiotherapy

Once the neck problem is diagnosed, treatment can be decided.

In most neck conditions, pressure on the neck causes pain and
pain causes muscle spasms, setting up a cycle. The best way to
break the cycle and stop the pain is to relieve both pressure
and spasms. There are various approaches to achieve each of
these goals. Many of them require daily applications, so they
must be done by the patient at home.

Relief of pressure:

Lying down is perhaps the simplest way to relieving the neck of
its heavy load. Bed rest gives the muscles a chance to recover.
The duration of bed rest should be advised by the
physiotherapist.

Not only is spinal molding a relaxing way to start and end your
body, it also reshapes your spine into its natural curves. Begin
by lying on the floor or g on a firm mattress with rolled-up
towels under your neck and low back. Your legs may be straight
or bent. Lie in this position for 15-20 minutes.

Cervical collar helps the neck muscles support the head, it also
reduces neck mobility. The therapist may prescribe wearing of a
cervical collar for the acute phase of neck problems and the
duration of wearing it. The collar should fit snugly around the
neck and be long enough to support the chin. Men can minimize
irritation from the collar by shaving frequently.

Extension and flexion is especially helpful when you feel your
neck and back stiffen. While sitting, place your hands on your
knees and push down. Slowly arch your back and bend your back
backward. Then slowly slump forward. Repeat this exercise 10
times.

Side bends increase your side-to-side flexibility. Start by
placing your fingers together and pointing your elbows outward.
Bend at the waist, tilting your body to one side as far as you
can. Then bend your head and neck in the same direction. Repeat
on your other side. Repeat this exercise 10 times.

This exercise increases the flexibility of your entire spine. To
begin, place your fingers together and point your elbows
outward. Slowly and gently twist at your waist, rotating your
head and neck to the same side. Repeat toward the other side.
Repeat this exercise 10 times.
