Myth 1: Cervical spondylosis must be operated.
Got cervical spondylosis, is surgical treatment the best method?

Experts say that more than 95% patients with cervical spondylosis with dizziness as the main symptom do not need surgery, and they can be well controlled through conservative treatment. However, once the patient has numbness, he should go to a regular hospital for a detailed examination and ask the doctor to propose a reasonable treatment plan.
Myth 2: Knee joint pain, exercise more.
Should middle-aged and elderly people strengthen physical exercise because of knee pain and difficulty in walking? Experts pointed out that middle-aged and elderly people are prone to knee osteoarthritis, so they should reduce their activities after the symptoms of knee pain appear, and activities such as squatting and climbing mountains will induce and aggravate the condition. Experts also suggest that middle-aged and elderly people with knee osteoarthritis should take exercise by walking, swimming and cycling.

It's a big problem.
