Is moxibustion useful for cervical spondylosis?

Moxibustion has a certain effect on cervical spondylosis.

Moxibustion has the effect of warming meridians, dispelling cold, activating blood circulation, promoting local blood circulation, relieving muscle fatigue, helping to improve and maintain cervical physiological curvature, and relieving neck pain and stiffness caused by cervical spondylosis. However, the occurrence of cervical spondylosis is mainly related to cervical disc degeneration, and moxibustion can not reverse this pathological change, so the effect of moxibustion is limited, only can achieve the effect of adjuvant treatment, but also need to cooperate with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants, if necessary, with surgical treatment, in order to alleviate related discomfort or correct cervical morphology.
