Cervical osteochondrosis causes many unpleasant syndromes, such as:
- violation of sensitivity in the cervical region, head, hands;
- headache;
- dizziness;
- Hearing damage.
The list of diseases is not yet complete. The most effective treatment for cervical osteochondrosis at home is self-massage.
How to make an effective self-massage for cervical osteochondrosis?
Patients suffering from cervical osteochondrosis need self-massage - that 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-lasting: the symptoms of osteochondrosis can disappear a few 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 disease is self-massage, which involves a comfortable posture that can be occupied in any comfortable chair. The movements start from the back and are smoothed, shivering and squeezing.
At the beginning of the self-massage, the back area is processed between the shoulder blades and then passes into the shoulder girdle and chest area, located above the mammary glands. The massage should not be painful. The stronger the movement, the less repetitions should be made.
Next we go directly to the cervical region: in the direction from the nape to the back, perform with both hands along the spine, then massage the neck with squeezing movements, replacing them by tapping the edge of the palm, for which we conduct brushes on both sides of the spine and make 3-4 compressed movements. Finish by stroking the back of the head.
The third stage is rubbing. The finger pads are placed on the back of the head and 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 nape of the neck to the back. The final phase of self-massage repeats the first.
