In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), cervical spondylosis is often seen as a result of qi (vital energy) and blood stagnation in the neck, leading to a blockage of the channels that supply the neck with vital energy. This blockage can cause pain and other symptoms associated with cervical spondylosis.
To treat cervical spondylosis in TCM, a practitioner may use a combination of techniques, including acupuncture, herbal remedies, and therapeutic massage. Acupuncture is believed to help regulate the flow of qi and blood in the neck, relieving pain and promoting healing. Herbal remedies may include the use of herbs such as frankincense, myrrh, and angelica, which are thought to have a positive effect on neck and spinal health. Therapeutic massage can help improve circulation and alleviate muscle tension, leading to relief from pain and other symptoms associated with cervical spondylosis.
