Abstract

Objective: Evaluate the results of treatment of neck pain due to cervicalgia due to spinal spondylosis using spinal manipulation combined with electro-acupuncture and infrared therapy. Subjects and methods: 70 patients aged 30 years or older, regardless of gender or occupation, were diagnosed with cervicalgia due to spinal spondylosis according to Traditional Medicine and liver-kidney deficiency combined with wind-cold Bizheng according to traditional medicine. Research group (35 patients): electroacupuncture, infrared therapy, spinal manipulation. Control group (35 patients): electroacupuncture, infrared therapy, acupressure. Results: After 15 days of treatment, the level of pain according to the VAS scale and the range of motion of the cervical spine between the 2 groups both improved well (p<0.05 compared to the time before treatment), and were similar (p> 0.05). The group of patients with limited range of motion of the cervical spine had poorer treatment results than other groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: The spinal manipulation method combined with electro-acupuncture and infrared therapy is a safe method, has the effect of reducing pain, improving spinal range of motion equivalent to the acupressure method combined with electro-acupuncture and Infrared therapy. Patients with limited range of motion of the cervical spine will have poorer treatment results.
