Cervical Spondylosis Functional Exercise Methods
Disease description:
Cervical spondylosis is a high-risk condition among middle-aged and elderly individuals, closely related to degenerative changes in the human skeleton that occur after a certain age. Although this is a major contributing factor to the incidence of bone diseases, it is not absolute. So, what are the functional exercise methods for cervical spondylosis?

Dr. Wang Guohua
Postoperative functional exercises for cervical spondylosis should be determined according to the specific surgical method used. Resistance training for neck muscles involves placing the hand against the side of the head or the patient's forehead to perform resisted neck flexion and lateral bending exercises. If recovery progresses well, resisted neck extension exercises can also be performed by placing the hand against the patient's occiput. Range-of-motion training for the cervical spine includes standing exercises for neck flexion, extension, lateral bending, and rotation, with movements progressing gradually. It is recommended to seek timely medical treatment at a hospital.
