Neck paralysis, also known as cervical spondylosis, is a disease with head and neck pain, limited movement, and shoulder and back pain as the main symptoms. Patients often experience numbness and pain on one or both sides of the limb, lightheadedness, and even weakness in the lower limbs, unsteady gait, or muscle atrophy. In traditional Chinese medicine, this disease belongs to the categories of "Bi syndrome", "impotence syndrome", "Xiang Qiang", "neck and shoulder pain" and so on. The occurrence of neck paralysis is related to a variety of factors, such as old age and physical decline, long-term strain, invasion of external evils or injuries caused by falls. The location of the disease is mainly in the neck, involving the meridians and tendons of the Du Pulse, the Foot Sun Bladder Meridian, the Hand Sun and the Hand Yang Ming Meridian. The basic pathogenesis is cold and dampness in the neck, which leads to qi stagnation and blood stasis or liver and kidney insufficiency, which in turn causes musculoskeletal and muscular dystrophy. In Western medicine, Xiang Bi is equivalent to cervical spondylosis. According to the clinical manifestations, cervical spondylosis can be divided into cervical, radiculological, vertebral artery, spinal, sympathetic and mixed. Different types of cervical spondylosis have different symptoms and methods. For example, cervical spondylosis is dominated by neck pain and stiffness, and is dominated by rest and physics; Cervical radiculopathy, on the other hand, presents with radiating pain and numbness in the upper extremities, requiring cervical traction and medications**. For the ** of Xiang Bi, both Chinese medicine and Western medicine have certain methods. Traditional Chinese medicine** is mainly based on acupuncture, massage, internal and external application of traditional Chinese medicine, etc., aiming to relax the muscles and activate the blood, warm the meridians and channels; Western medicine mostly uses drugs**, cervical traction, physical** and surgical**. The appropriate method should be selected according to the specific situation of the patient to achieve the best ** effect.

Acupuncture** cervical spondylosis has significant effects, especially for cervical, radiculopathy, and vertebral artery cervical spondylosis, acupuncture can quickly relieve symptoms and reduce the pain of patients. For other types of cervical spondylosis, acupuncture can also play a certain role in improvement. In order to enhance the curative effect, it can be combined with traction, massage, external application and other methods. If the patient's neck pain is severe, it can be combined with the neck spine needle knife and thread lifting**, which can relieve the pain more quickly. For people who work at the desk or with their heads bowed for a long time, they should pay attention to the health care of the cervical spine. After 1 hour of work, you should get up and move your neck, or do a self-massage to relax your neck muscles. Usually, we should maintain a correct sleeping position and choose the right pillow so that the height of the pillow matches the physiological curvature of the neck. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the warmth of the neck to avoid the invasion of wind and cold. Modern studies have shown that the mechanism of action of acupuncture** cervical spondylosis is related to promoting local microcirculation, improving vertebral artery blood supply, coordinating the movement of muscles and ligaments around the intervertebral discs, and regulating nerve function. Improvements in these areas can help alleviate the symptoms of cervical spondylosis and improve the quality of life of patients.
