Cervical osteochondrosis provokes many unpleasant syndromes, such as:
- violation of sensitivity in the cervical region, head, arms;
- headaches;
- 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 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 course. Also, regular self-massage will help improve the condition of the cervical spine, slowing down the progression of the disease.
What methods are safe and harmless for our neck?
An effective method for cervical diseases is self-massage, which implies a comfortable posture that can be taken in any comfortable chair. The movements begin from the back and are stroking, shaking and squeezing.
At the beginning of self-massage, the area of the back is worked out between the shoulder blades, then they move to the zone of the shoulder girdle and chest, located above the mammary glands. The massage should not be painful. The more vigorous the movement, the fewer reps should be done.
Next, we go directly to the cervical region: in the direction from the back of the head to the back, we carry out with two hands along the spinal column, then with squeezing movements we massage the neck, replacing them with tapping with the edge of the palm, for which we carry out with our brushes on both sides of the spine and do 3-4 times squeezing movements. Finish with stroking in the back of the neck.
The third stage is rubbing. The pads are placed on the back of the head, then the skin is rubbed from top to bottom. After that, the back of the neck is rubbed in a circular motion in the direction from the back of the head to the back. The final stage of self-massage repeats the first.
