In traditional medicine, treatment of cervical spondylosis tries to restore the oxygenation
and the local metabolism, eliminating the accumulated residues and toxins; to release the micro-fragments of muscle and to reabsorb the osteophytes. The herbs used in the treatment programmes help to recover the muscle tone and the articular mobility and to rehydrate the intervertebral disks. The acupuncture and Tibetan thermotherapy sessions play a major part in releasing the pressure exerted upon the medullar belt and the spinal roots. Regeneration of the medullar lesions or lesions of the spinal nerves may be done where the degree of damage allows it.
