How to treat headache caused by cervical spondylosis

There are many causes of headaches caused by cervical spondylosis, and different causes require different treatments. The specific situations are as follows: 1. The occipital nerve in the cervical region originates from the upper cervical segment of the cervical spine. If it is compressed, it will cause cervical headaches and radiate to the top of the head. Rest, changing bad living habits, medication, local massage, and physical therapy to relax muscles can relieve occipital nerve compression and treat headaches. If conservative treatment is ineffective, minimally invasive interventional treatment can be performed to perform cryoablation at the site of occipital nerve compression to completely relieve the symptoms of occipital nerve compression and improve headaches; 2. Bone hyperplasia or small joint degeneration compresses the vertebral artery or other blood vessels, which can lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain and cause headaches. Through bed rest, appropriate physical therapy, and the use of drugs that nourish nerves and dilate blood vessels, the blood supply to the head can be improved to achieve the purpose of relieving and treating headaches.
