Dr. Dai Zhenyu
The treatment and prevention of cervical spondylosis begin with correcting poor posture and unhealthy daily habits. Additionally, appropriate massage or heat application to the neck can be beneficial. Patients may also visit a qualified traditional Chinese medicine clinic for acupuncture or physical therapy to promote local blood circulation and relieve discomfort. For more severe cases, anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications, as well as blood-activating and meridian-regulating drugs, should be taken under a doctor's guidance. When necessary, traction or surgical intervention may be required to improve symptoms.
