Dr. Wang Zhuo
Medications used to treat cervical spondylosis include aspirin, ibuprofen, and others. Aspirin and ibuprofen possess anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and sedative effects; they not only alleviate cervical pain but also effectively improve the underlying condition. Additionally, intravenous administration of neurotrophic agents may be employed for symptomatic relief. Patients should avoid prolonged sitting and perform the “rice-character exercise” (a set of neck-strengthening and flexibility exercises) appropriately each day.
