Cervical spondylosis is the primary stage of cervical spondylosis, clinically characterized by neck pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. Its onset is closely related to daily lifestyle. Currently, conservative treatment, especially orthopedic manipulation combined with acupuncture, is the mainstream approach for cervical spondylosis. This article is based on clinical research literature in recent years. It summarizes the theoretical basis, mechanism of action, specific operation methods, and clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine bone setting techniques combined with acupuncture at the neck and spine acupoints for the treatment of cervical spondylosis, with the core idea of "bone alignment and tendon flexibility, qi and blood flow". Comprehensive analysis shows that this combination therapy can synergistically enhance the efficacy from the perspectives of biomechanics and neurophysiology, effectively restore cervical curvature, relieve pain, improve function, and has high safety, reflecting the unique advantages of traditional Chinese medicine's "balanced treatment of muscles and bones, and comprehensive treatment of symptoms", providing a basis for optimizing clinical treatment plans.
