Patient's question:
Doctor, you said, my wife is already 67 this year, how could this stiffness in the entire neck and shoulders reappear after six months of discomfort and rigidity? What should we do now? What kind of treatment is generally required for his condition, and what should we pay attention to? What should he eat at home?Doctor's answer:
All the neck is stiff and shoulders are sore, which may be caused by cervical spondylosis. It is best to go to the hospital in time for X-rays and a thorough examination to clarify the condition. After diagnosis, the doctor can provide appropriate treatment. Generally, acupuncture and massage are recommended. It is also suggested to have a traction treatment. If the cervical condition is severe, surgical treatment can be considered under the guidance of a doctor. Daily, avoid overexertion and prolonged maintenance of a single posture to prevent worsening the condition. Regularly engage in appropriate activities to alleviate the symptoms.
