by, Msc. Remina KARRIQI

Abstract

Introduction: Cervical Spondylosis (SC) is the most common disorder of the cervical spine. Intervertebral discs can degenerate as a result of natural aging. Other degenerative changes include osteophyte formation, facet joint hypertrophy, longitudinal ligament calcification, and ligament flava thickening. Aim: The aim of this study is to show the different methods of physiotherapy used for the rehabilitation of cervical spondylosis and to compare among them the combined methods to see which of the methods is most effective in terms of relieving the main symptoms of cervical spondylosis. Methods: In this study we investigated 33 studies that have used different treatment methods of patients with cervical spondylosis. The elected studies ranged from 2002 to 2020. For this review articles have been taken from official sources like PubMed, Google Scholar, Medscape and Cochrane library. Results: During the analysis it was observed that the combination of different therapeutic methods is more effective than a single method. Combining exercise therapy with other methods seems to be the most effective program for relieving the symptoms that come from cervical spondylosis. Conclusion: We concluded that exercise therapy combined with other methods is one of the most effective methods in the rehabilitation of cervical spondylosis
