I. Can Cervical Traction Therapy Apparatus Treat Cervical Spondylosis?
There are many types of cervical vertebra therapy instruments, and traction cervical vertebra therapy instrument is one of them. The disease traction treatment instrument has a certain effect on the treatment of some cervical spondylosis.
The traction cervical vertebra treatment instrument mainly uses natural traction to relieve neck muscle spasm, relieve pain symptoms, increase the intervertebral space and intervertebral foramen, and has a certain therapeutic effect on cervical spondylosis such as cervical intervertebral disc herniation. However, not all cervical spondylosis can be treated with cervical traction therapy instrument, such as vascular or neurological cervical spondylosis, the use of traction cervical spine therapy instrument will not be effective.
Second, the use of traction cervical spondylosis treatment equipment
The traction cervical spondylosis treatment instrument is a household cervical spondylosis treatment instrument, and its use is very Simple:
1. Rotate the left and right handles with both hands at the same time to lower the lift tube to the lowest point, and adjust the traction belt and fixing belt to a suitable length.
2. Grasp the lower part of the retractor with both hands, raise it around the top of the head, place the bracket on the back of the shoulder, place the fixed belt on the back of the head, and place the traction belt on the tip of the chin.
3. Turn the handle to the inside of the body with the left and right hands at the same time, and the left and right lift pipes will rise at the same time. Generally, the handle is rotated about 2 circles, and the traction belt should be fully tightened and enter the traction state.
4. In the process of turning the handle to gradually increase the traction force, press the set shrapnel with the thumbs of the left and right hands. When the shrapnel bends, it means that the maximum traction force that the shrapnel can provide has been reached, and the rotation is stopped. Handle and maintain traction for 15-30 minutes.
5. Release the traction, turn the handle to the outside of the body with both hands at the same time, make the lift tube drop to the lowest point, and remove the cervical spine treatment instrument.
III. Precautions for the use of traction therapy equipment for cervical spondylosis
1. Read the instructions carefully before use, and master the operation of entering and releasing traction. use.
2. Gradually increase the traction force from small to large to avoid affecting the health of the cervical spine.
3. In order to ensure the traction effect, attention should be paid to multiple tractions, and the space between the vertebrae should be opened by traction to return the dislocated intervertebral disc, thereby releasing the compression of the intervertebral disc on the nerve.
4. Pay attention to the feeling of the cervical vertebra and shoulder after traction. It should feel comfortable normally. If it is not suitable, reduce the traction force.
5. The traction type cervical spondylosis treatment instrument is more suitable for mild patients, and the cervical spondylosis is more serious, it is recommended to use it under the guidance of a doctor.
