Cervical spondylosis is very common in our lives, it used to often occur in middle-aged and elderly people, with the increasing number of "bowed heads" now, the age of onset of cervical spondylosis is gradually younger, in addition to the cause of external forces, basically related to irregular sitting posture and occupation. Therefore, we must first pay attention to changing bad habits, do not be a "bowed head", and often do some neck exercises. For example, head and hand fighting, shrugging shoulders, etc., pay attention to the amplitude when doing it, and the speed should be slow.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there is another internal cause of cervical spondylosis, insufficient liver blood, deterioration of liver and kidney function, blood and qi can not circulate smoothly, and muscles can not be well nourished, thus causing cervical spondylosis. Finger numbness, neck and back pain, dizziness, vomiting, weakness in the limbs, and even rapid heartbeat and blurred vision may occur.

1. Wind Pond Cave
The Fengchi point is on the neck, under the occipital bone, at the level of the Fengfu point, in the depression between the sternocleidomastoid muscle and the upper end of the trapezius muscle.
Traditional Chinese medicine says that "the leader of the wind pool" is because the wind pool acupoint can treat most of the wind diseases, and rubbing the wind pool acupoint can effectively relieve cervical spondylosis, external wind cold, headache caused by internal and external wind evil, and neck fatigue caused by long-term work with the head down.
Press the thumb and fingertips on the Fengchi acupoint to make the acupuncture point feel sore, rotate and press it, or pinch the index finger and thumb on the two Fengchi acupoints respectively to carry out the pinching action.
Every time you bow your head to work at the desk for a long time, or look down at your mobile phone, press and rub the Fengchi acupoint for 5 minutes, which can improve blood circulation in the brain, clear your mind, and eliminate the symptoms of headache and dizziness.

3. Shoulder well point
The shoulder well point is at the midpoint of the line between the large vertebral point and the acromial end, which has the effect of channeling and relieving pain, invigorating blood and improving qi.
