Is cervical spondylosis hot compress useful

Cervical spondylosis hot compress has a certain effect.

Hot compress can promote blood circulation of neck muscles, help relax muscles, reduce neck stiffness and pain caused by muscle tension. When muscles are relaxed, it can improve cervical mobility to a certain extent. At the same time, through the warm effect of hot compress, it can dilate neck blood vessels, increase blood flow, and better supply nutrients and oxygen to cervical spine and surrounding tissues, which is conducive to the repair of damaged tissues. For some inflammation caused by cervical spondylosis, hot compress can also play a certain role in alleviating inflammation. Warm stimulation helps to reduce pain and discomfort caused by inflammation and promote the regression of inflammation.

However, although hot compress has certain help for cervical spondylosis, it cannot be treated by hot compress alone. At the same time, it should be combined with comprehensive measures such as rest, correct posture, and moderate exercise. If the symptoms of cervical spondylosis are serious, such as severe pain, limb numbness, and weakness, it should be promptly sought medical attention for professional diagnosis and treatment.
