Cervical osteochondrosis provokes many unpleasant syndromes, such as:
- sensitivity disorder in the area of the cervix, 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 suffering from cervical osteochondrosis need self-massage - this is what can really help them. It has been proven that the effect of proper therapeutic massage is not only pronounced, but also very long in time: the symptoms of osteochondrosis can disappear within a few months after the first course. Also, regular self-massage will help improve the condition of the cervical spine, slowing the progression of the disease.
What methods are safe and harmless for our neck?
An effective method for cervical diseases is self-massage, which involves a comfortable position that can be taken in any comfortable chair. The movements start from the back and are stroking, shaking and pressing.
At the beginning of the self-massage, the back area is processed between the shoulder blades, after which they are moved to the area of the shoulder girdle and the breasts located above the mammary glands. The massage should not be painful. The more vigorous the movement, the fewer repetitions need to be done.
Then we go directly to the area of the cervix: in the direction from the back of the head to the back, we perform with both hands on the spine, then with pressing movements we massage the neck, replacing them with a tap on the edge of the palm, for which we perform withour brushes on both sides of the spine and make 3-4 times pressing movements. Finish by stroking the back of the neck.
The third stage is friction. The pads of the fingers are placed on the back of the head, after which the skin is rubbed from top to bottom. Then the back of the neck is rubbed in a circular motion in the direction from the back of the head to the back. The last stage of self-massage repeats the first.
