Overview of Traditional Chinese Medicine Understanding and Therapeutic Application of Cervical Spondylosis

摘要: 颈椎病是以颈椎退行性病理改变为基础的疾病，又称“颈椎综合症”，是包括对颈椎骨关节炎、颈椎的炎性增生综合症、颈神经根综合症、颈椎间盘的滑出及脱落症的总称。药物(止痛剂、镇静剂、维生素)、手术、运动疗法等现代医学治疗，可以缓解临床症状，但由于药物治疗的副作用、运动疗法及手术治疗的禁忌症而应用受限。中医疗法形式繁多，针灸、中药、推拿、小针刀等作为颈椎病的常用治疗手段，其有效率、治愈率极为可观。在此成效上，中医疗法对于颈椎病的治疗拥有光明的前景，也为颈椎病的治疗途径提供更多选择。
