Lanzhou cervical spondylosis experts explain in detail: What are the benefits of soaking in hot springs for cervical spondylosis?
At present, soaking in hot springs is not an affordable activity for normal people, but do you know that hot springs can be used to treat cervical spondylosis? What are the benefits of hot springs for treating cervical spondylosis? Next, Director Tang Bin of the Cervical and Lumbar Vertebral Disease Treatment Center of Lanzhou Hengdao Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine will introduce the benefits of this hot spring for the treatment of cervical spondylosis, hoping to help everyone. There are many therapeutic effects of hot spring bath on cervical spondylosis, which can be summarized as follows: (1) warming effect: cervical spondylosis is mostly related to wind-cold, or wind-cold is its inducement. When soaking in hot springs, the warmth acts on the body, which can normalize the major life systems. (2) Hydrostatic pressure: When the human body is under the water, the surrounding water will exert a certain pressure on it. Hydrostatic pressure can directly stimulate soft tissue, reduce muscle tension, promote blood circulation, accelerate the excretion of metabolites, and relieve soft tissue swelling. (3) Buoyancy: When soaking in hot springs, the load on the moving organs is obviously reduced. With the help of warmth, it can reduce muscle tension, improve muscle spasm and stiffness, relieve myalgia and promote joint function recovery. If you can take active or passive exercise in the bath, the treatment effect on muscle, joint and nervous system diseases will be better. (4) Massage function: In the immersion bath, due to the flow of mineral water molecules and the continuous escape of gas in the water, the peripheral nerves of the body can be continuously massaged and pressurized. This mild stimulation can have a good sedative and analgesic effect on the rich external receptors on the skin. This effect can also dilate skin blood vessels, improve blood circulation, and thus regulate skin metabolism. (5) Chemical action: The chemical action of mineral spring is unique to mineral water bath. Because mineral water contains different components, salinity, colloid, osmotic pressure and radioactive substances, it has different effects on human body. Generally speaking, chemicals cannot enter the body, and only chemicals in ionic state can enter the body through the skin. Radioisotope tracing studies have confirmed that Na+, Ca++ and fe++ ions can penetrate into mineral water through the skin. Organism is a highly ordered system, which always keeps a certain dynamic balance with crustal materials, that is, life balance. Chemical elements are its most basic material connection, and energy and matter can be exchanged with the external inorganic environment through metabolism. From this perspective, mineral water treatment can be regarded as an "exchange system". In short, soaking in hot springs is an all-round exercise. The physical characteristics and chemical components of water enter the human body through the skin, and then act on the human body, which will cause extremely complicated biophysical changes in the body, thus regulating the body function and normalizing the functions of various systems in the body.
