Chang Haiyuan, Director of Orthopaedics Department of Dongcheng Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and founder of massage department of Beijing Sixth Hospital, has been engaged in research and clinical treatment of bone injury diseases for more than 40 years. He has rich experience in massage and massage, masters various external treatment methods of orthopedic related diseases, and is good at treating cervical vertebra, lumbar vertebra related diseases and scapulohumeral periarthritis. Headache, dizziness, knee osteoarthritis, low back and leg pain, etc.

Dizziness, headache, arm pain, shoulder sinking, hand numbness, deafness and tinnitus, visual impairment, memory loss... These symptoms, most likely caused by the same disease, are cervical spondylosis. According to Chang Haiyuan, cervical spondylosis was relatively rare 20 years ago. But in recent years, with the change of lifestyle, especially with the popularity of electronic terminals such as mobile phones, more and more people are suffering from cervical spondylosis. Cervical spondylosis is likely to occur in the elderly up to 80 years old and in children under 8 years old. If you have dizziness, headache, arm pain, shoulder sinking, deafness, tinnitus, visual impairment, memory loss and other symptoms, after excluding serious underlying diseases, you should consider whether cervical spondylosis. "Take an X-ray or CT scan of the neck, and you can see the curvature of the cervical spine clearly." Mild cervical spine deformations will pull muscles leading to various symptoms, serious will affect the head blood supply, appear more serious symptoms. Conservative treatment is the first choice for the treatment of cervical spondylosis. "Can be conservative as far as possible conservative," Chang Haiyuan said, Chinese medicine manipulation treatment of cervical spondylosis has a long history, effective.

TCM treatment of cervical spondylosis is divided into teacher acceptance school and Academy school. Chang Haiyuan studied with teacher when he was young, and belonged to a typical teacher acceptance expert. Since then, he has summed up Chang's massage techniques based on his own experience. The Changhaiyuan studio has now received nine apprentices nationwide and two foreign apprentices. Chang Haiyuan has a unique way to treat cervical spondylosis. Simply speaking, the "rolling" method is used to open the meridians and collaterals of the neck and shoulder, the "point" method is used to open the sclerosis, the "shaking" method is used to dredge the fascial ligaments beside the cervical spine, and finally the "pulling" method is used to restore the dislocated facet joints. Manipulative therapy, combined with physiotherapy, acupuncture and unique hot compress of traditional Chinese medicine package, can thoroughly improve the symptoms of patients. Chang Haiyuan's treatment method is very gentle and gentle. "In fact, the treatment of manipulation emphasizes flexibility and rigidity, focusing on promoting channels and collaterals." Therefore, although the patient feels gentle and gentle, manipulation therapy has a strong penetration, which not only has a good effect on the spot, but also has a more lasting effect in the later period. The occurrence of most cervical spondylosis is related to chronic strain, so the prevention of cervical spondylosis should first prevent chronic strain. Among them, incorrect working posture has greater damage to the cervical spine, such as bowing head for a long time must be raised regularly at work; bad lifestyle can also cause chronic cervical spine strain, such as long time bowing head to watch mobile phones, bowing head to watch electronic tablet computers, playing video games for a long time, and the high incidence of cervical spondylosis is also indicated. Home use of mobile phones and other electronic terminals should be moderate. Strengthen the exercise of neck and shoulder muscles is helpful to prevent and treat cervical spondylosis; pillow with moderate rigidity can also help prevent cervical spondylosis. Some people think that "pillow without worry", in fact, pillow will make the head forward bend, increase the stress of lower cervical vertebra, and may accelerate cervical degeneration. In addition, the prevention of cervical spondylosis should pay attention to the neck and shoulder warmth, avoid excessive fatigue.
