Stabilization Surgery
When it comes to treating spondylosis, stabilization surgery is another surgical option that is often performed after decompression surgeries. The main purpose of this procedure is to prevent any unnatural movement of the spine caused by the removal of tissue during the decompression surgery. The most commonly used method for spinal stabilization is fusion. During this procedure, a surgeon will utilize a bone graft or another type of biological substance to facilitate the fusion of the spine over time. To maintain stability during the fusion process, screws, pins, and wires may be employed by the surgeon.
Light Exercise for Cervical Spondylosis
For individuals with cervical spondylosis, engaging in light exercise can aid in the treatment of their condition, but it is crucial to consider the severity of the condition. Before attempting any exercises, it is essential to seek approval from a medical professional as even gentle forms of exercise may lead to further damage in certain cases. Chin tucks and side-to-side rotations are examples of exercises that can help strengthen the neck muscles. However, it is important to be cautious as overstraining or fatigue in the neck can potentially exacerbate cervical spondylosis symptoms.
