You Need To Consider Doing This If Your Cervical Spondylosis Is Not Improving With Tuina

Cervical spondylosis—commonly referred to as neck arthritis—can be a debilitating condition that affects your daily life in numerous ways. The stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility in the neck can make simple tasks like turning your head, looking over your shoulder, or even resting your head on a pillow incredibly difficult. Whether it’s caused by age-related changes in the spine or a previous injury, cervical spondylosis can severely limit your range of motion and cause constant discomfort.

The emotional impact of cervical spondylosis can be just as challenging. The ongoing discomfort, combined with the frustration of being unable to move your neck freely, can leave you feeling anxious, stressed, and isolated. If your pain is not improving, it may be time to explore a non-invasive, holistic treatment option like Tuina to target the root cause of your discomfort and help restore your mobility.

Tuina: A Powerful Approach to Treating Cervical Spondylosis

Tuina is an ancient form of therapeutic massage used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to treat musculoskeletal issues, including cervical spondylosis. By using techniques such as kneading, rolling, and pressing, Tuina works to release muscle tension, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation in the neck area. It helps to relax tight muscles, ease joint stiffness, and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, providing significant relief from the pain and discomfort associated with cervical spondylosis.

However, while Tuina can be highly effective for many individuals, it may not offer long-lasting results if the underlying cause of your cervical spondylosis has not been properly diagnosed. Without identifying the root cause of your neck pain, treatments may only provide temporary relief rather than addressing the deeper issue.

The Need for Imaging to Get a Precise Diagnosis

It’s important to understand that cervical spondylosis cannot always be accurately diagnosed through symptoms alone. Imaging techniques such as X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans are essential to assess the extent of degeneration, the condition of the discs and bones, and the health of the surrounding tissues. These imaging tools provide healthcare providers with a clear picture of what’s happening in the cervical spine and allow for the development of an accurate treatment plan.

What To Expect When I Visit The Pain Relief Clinic

A typical visit will involve our doctor first understanding your medical history, concerns and previous experience with other pain treatments.

For patients who have consulted many people but have yet to receive a clear diagnosis, selecting an affordable imaging scan might be recommended to confirm the cause of your pain..

Some patients have already done scans with other doctors for their pain condition but are still not clearly told what they suffer from.

Dr Terence Tan is happy to offer you a second opinion and recommend how best to manage your condition.

We also see patients who already have a confirmed diagnosis from specialist pain doctors, but are "stuck” because treatment options offered are not practical or acceptable.

We can help by discussing options that you might have potentially never been told of.

A common experience is when a patient has already consulted a specialist doctor for pain management and is told to consider orthopaedic surgery which they find too aggressive.

Or they may have seen doctors for their pain and were prescribed painkillers with potential side effects which made them feel uncomfortable.

Many of our patients have also first tried complementary treatments or acupuncture with traditional Chinese pain doctors.

They look for a second opinion after finding any relief experienced from other treatments to be temporary or requiring repetitive treatments, which add up to time and cost.

Especially in such situations, we emphasize using non-invasive medical technology you likely have not been told about .

This can make a big difference to your results.
