There are many kinds of cervical spondylosis, the most serious is cervical myelopathy, and cervical myelopathy must avoid neck trauma. Severe cervical spondylosis is because the spinal canal is already very narrow, and the anterior discs have pressed into a part of the capsule of the spinal cord.

If cervical spondylosis is severe, daily care is also more important, as follows:

Clause. 1. Be sure to avoid wrestling, avoid external injuries to the neck, and avoid whiplash-like injuries to the neck caused by rear-end collisions when riding in the car. Because once this kind of injury occurs, it may lead to irreversible damage to the spinal cord, which may lead to high paraplegia, which is a lifelong regret for people, and they cannot take care of themselves in life, which is particularly painful.

Therefore, for the daily care of cervical myelopathy, it is necessary to protect the cervical spine, and if you have nothing to do, you can practice the strength of the jujube cervical spine, exercise appropriately, bow your head less, and lean back more to your neck.

Remember that the spine should not be excessively curved forward or backward.

If the patient has a fever, it should be dried in time and talcum powder should be applied locally.

3. For patients with fear, the specific method is to guide the patient to practice the quadriceps muscle voluntary contraction exercise 6 8 hours after surgery, assist in the elevation of both lower limbs, reduce spinal nerve root adhesions, and do both upper limbs to stretch at will. Older people should practice deep breathing to reduce complications of lung infections. The catheter is removed as soon as possible after surgery to reduce urinary tract infections.

When carrying out postoperative functional exercises, it is necessary to explain the significance in detail, care for and be considerate to the patient, help the patient massage the gastrocnemius muscle and passive limbs, prevent muscle atrophy, and gradually perform independent activities after the patient adapts.
