Do you know cervical spondylosis? The cervical ones are formed by a set of delicate vertebrae whose balance and resistance directly impact the bad postures. They are also affected by strong and low harmonic movements or the simple passage of time. Cervical spondylosis is a form of arthritis that affects the vertebrae of the neck.

CAUSE

the origin of cervical spondylosis is not in the wear of the vertebrae or in the cartilage of this area of the neck. The root of the problem starts from a degeneration of the joint discs themselves. Elasticity is lost by not having water to hydrate them, to keep them strong and flexible.

SYMPTOMS

  • The most obvious symptom is neck pain and stiffness: driving, reading, or even bowing your head to read mobile messages can cause certain cervical “jerks” or dizziness.
  • In some cases, this pain extends to the extremities due to proximity to a nerve: it is common to experience some numbness and weakness in the arms, hands, fingers …
  • Headache also appears.

HOW TO RELIEVE CERVICAL SPONDYLOSIS?

1. HOT-COLD TECHNIQUE

A simple technique to reduce pain associated with cervical spondylosis is the application of hot and cold packs on the area. You should apply them alternately on the neck and shoulders. Hot compresses improve blood circulation and relax muscles. On the other hand, cold compresses help by reducing inflammation and swelling. Also point out that if you have a very inflamed neck area you should avoid hot packs.

2. GENTLE EXERCISE

First of all, we should tell the doctor or physiotherapist what exercise options we can practice. However, it is necessary to keep the spine moving. And, specifically, that area between the neck and shoulders. Walking, practicing yoga or swimming are three of the most indicated exercises to improve the quality of life in case of cervical spondylosis.

3. SESAME SEEDS

Sesame seeds contain calcium, manganese, magnesium, zinc and copper, minerals that contribute to the health of bones, muscles and joints. Including them in the diet can be a healthy way to complement and vary it, while obtaining nutrients to maintain joint flexibility.

To conclude, these natural remedies are only supplements that you can carry out on a daily basis. Having the advice of therapists of renowned nature cure center in India is essential to prevent this condition from becoming chronic and affecting our quality of life.
