Increasing progress has been made in the research and treatment of cervical spondylosis. Traditional Chinese medicine has been shown to be effective as a complementary alternative therapy for the treatment of cervical spondylosis. However, the intervention mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of cervical spondylosis is still unclear. The aim of this review is to sort out the current knowledge on the mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of cervical spondylosis, including acupuncture, needle-knife, manipulation, herbal treatments, and commonly used animal models of cervical spondylosis. Finally, the review will discuss the dilemmas faced by traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of cervical spondylosis, as well as the shortcomings and future directions of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of cervical spondylosis.
