Cervical osteochondrosis causes many unpleasant syndromes, such as:
- violation of sensitivity in the cervical region, head, arms;
- headache;
- dizziness;
- hearing impairment.
The list of diseases is far from complete. The most effective treatment for cervical osteochondrosis at home is self-massage.
How to do effective self-massage for cervical osteochondrosis?
Patients with cervical osteochondrosis need self-massage - this is what can really help them. It has been proven that the effect of a correct therapeutic massage is not only pronounced, but also very long in time: the symptoms of osteochondrosis can disappear for several months after the first treatment. In addition, regular self-massage will help improve the condition of the cervical spine, thereby slowing the progression of the disease.
What methods are safe and harmless for our necks?
Self-massage is an effective method for diseases of the cervix, which involves a comfortable posture that can be taken in any comfortable chair. Movements start from the back and are stroked, shaken and squeezed.
At the beginning of the self-massage, the back area is worked between the shoulder blades, then they move to the area of the shoulder girdle and chest, located above the mammary glands. The massage should not be painful. The more vigorous the movement, the fewer repetitions are required.
Then we go directly to the cervical region: in the direction from the back of the head to the back, we perform with two hands along the spine, then with compressive movements we massage the neck, by themreplacing with tapping with the edge of the palm, for which we perform with our brushes on both sides of the spine and make 3 to 4 times compression movements. Finish with caresses on the back of the neck.
The third step is friction. The pads of the fingers are placed on the back of the head, then the skin is rubbed from top to bottom. After that, the nape of the neck is rubbed in a circular motion in the direction from the back of the head to the back. The last step of the self-massage repeats the first.
