Disease description:
Finger numbness has persisted for about a week, with no improvement in symptoms. Upon examination, it was found that the numbness was caused by nerve compression due to cervical spondylosis. How is finger numbness caused by nerve compression from cervical spondylosis treated?

The treatment for finger numbness is determined according to its specific cause. Generally, the following treatment methods can be considered:
1. Improving lifestyle habits: Avoid maintaining the same posture for prolonged periods. Take appropriate breaks and relax your muscles after extended use of computers or mobile phones. Keep your hands warm and avoid cold or damp conditions.
2. Massage: Massaging the fingers, especially acupoints such as the hand sanli (LI10) and neiguan (PC6), may help alleviate local swelling and numbness.
3. Medication: If numbness is caused by conditions such as cervical spondylosis or diabetes, nerve-nourishing medications like mecobalamin tablets or vitamin B12 tablets may be taken orally as directed by a physician. Additionally, active treatment of underlying conditions such as diabetes should be carried out to control blood glucose levels.
4. Surgical treatment: For severe cases of nerve compression, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, surgery may be required to relieve the pressure.
5. Traditional Chinese therapy: Traditional Chinese treatments such as acupuncture and therapeutic massage can also be used as adjunctive therapies for finger numbness.
If symptoms of finger numbness persist or worsen, it is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation.
