Dr. Lin Yunfei
Generally, it is not recommended to take Xuesaitong for this condition. Xuesaitong helps improve blood supply to the heart and blood vessels, enhances heart muscle function, and prevents heart disease, coronary heart disease, and similar conditions. However, it is not effective for treating cervical spondylosis or injuries to the cervical ligaments and muscles. Cervical spondylosis requires specific treatment methods. Patients are advised to rest adequately, avoid injury and exposure to cold.
