Through our neck there is a mass of nerve endings and blood vessels, between the cervical discs the distance is very small, and the muscle mass of the neck is negligible. As a result of such anatomical structure, as well as lifestyle (hypodynamia, sedentary work, excessive neck strain, exposure to cold), our necks are increasingly becoming victims of osteochondrosis.
There are two main methods of treatment:
- physiotherapy;
- massage.
This massage is the most effective treatment for cervical osteochondrosis. Thanks to massage, muscles are strengthened, salts are taken out, blood circulation and lymph flow are adjusted, ligaments are stretched. Let's consider various techniques of massage of a neck at an osteochondrosis .
- Point massage with cervical osteochondrosis is done on the cervical and collar zone, by applying pressure to the acupuncture points with the pads of the fingers. Movements are held against and in a clockwise direction, pressing the dots lasts up to three minutes.
- For honey massage with cervical osteochondrosis warm up the neck area with self-massage, apply honey, press it with your hand and sharply tear off the skin. After all the honey is absorbed, it is necessary to cover the place with paper for compresses.
- A great demand for cervical osteochondrosis is also a can of massage. To do this, you need 1 pot and a cotton swab. Warm up the bank with a set fire, apply about 7th vertebra and massage around it clockwise. It is necessary to make 11-13 circles. Then perform rectilinear movements from the bottom of the scalp to the shoulders.
Usually, massage is performed in the supine position or sitting at the table. However, if you want to quench the pain in your neck this minute, and the massage therapist is not at hand, you can easily master the techniques of cervical massage with your own hands with osteochondrosis.
Start self-massage with strokes of the palms on the neck and shoulders, then move to circular movements with the pads of fingers.
Cervical osteochondrosis requires not only treatment, but also prevention. Straddling your neck in moments of special stress: sitting at a desk, at a computer, at work, you will not only be saved from osteochondrosis, but also regulate blood circulation to the brain, which will also increase your ability to work.
