Treatment of osteochondrosis of the cervical spine is a successful combination of traditional medicine and folk methods

Did you know that a huge number of diseases are the consequences of many problems that bothered us in childhood? Doctors say that such can be considered the vast majority of diseases, including osteochondrosis of the cervical spine. In most cases, it develops even during puberty, when the most important process of intensive bone growth occurs incorrectly. The cause may be a frequent incorrect inclination of the head when reading books or working at a computer.

The first signs of cervical osteochondrosis appear at a young age - the symptoms are frequent headaches that result from insufficient supply of oxygen to the brain, as many vessels are transmitted, regular "lumbago" in the cervical region, the causes of which are drafts or uncomfortable position in the Sleep. Treatment of osteochondrosis of the cervical spine should not be postponed, otherwise the disease can become aggravated and lead to irreparable consequences.

Experts advise to pay attention to some factors that can make treatment more effective and quick. First, you should always monitor your posture and, in particular, the position of the head. Correct posture assumes that the head will not be tilted back for a long time or strongly tilted to the left or to the right. Unpleasant sensations can arise after a quarter of an hour of sitting at the computer with the head thrown back (and this is how it usually happens, since basically the monitors are located at the level of the head or slightly higher).

Also, treatment and prevention of osteochondrosis includes a careful observance of the correct position of the head and neck during rest. It is best to use a small soft pillow, which can be placed under the head. It should be remembered that not all pillows advertised on TV or in the media are equally useful - made of synthetic materials, such items can serve as a source of static electricity. This is extremely unhelpful as treating the osteochondrosis of the cervical spine, besides, it can have a serious effect on the heart. In case the pain does not stop, you should ask the doctor to prescribe medication - anesthetics or a novocaine blockade.

Another tool, perhaps not curative, but preventive, is the training of muscles and vessels through water procedures - however, only under the supervision of a doctor and in the absence of serious contraindications. It is also important to protect the neck and the entire upper vertebral column in the cold season, for which experts advise carefully cover this area with a collar and, if possible, a headdress.

Many patients with experience recommend the treatment of cervical osteochondrosis with folk remedies. One of these is the use of a rubber hot water bottle filled with hot water. Such a wonderful warming pillow wrapped in a towel can be put under the sore neck until the water cools completely. The amount of liquid must be such as to provide comfort, evenly distributing the pressure of the head and neck that are in contact with the surface of the pillow. In addition, folk remedies that treat osteochondrosis of the cervical spine, offer a course of simple exercises that do not require special equipment, help or special skills.

Exercise one: you need to put your right palm on the right cheek and try to tilt your head to the opposite (left) side. This pressure should be resisted for 10-15 seconds, after which the same operation can be repeated with another palm and another cheek.

Exercise two: on the forehead you should put the fingers woven together and try to force the head to stray back. Straining the muscles of the neck, it needs to resist a few seconds, then repeat the reception 5-7 times more.

Exercise three: you need to rest your chin in the fist and try to tilt your head down while the arm will resist. Like all previous exercises, this must be repeated several times. By combining all these techniques you can rid yourself of neck pain and make the treatment of osteochondrosis of the cervical spine more effective.
