The prevalence of neck and shoulder pain in Shanghai’s youth population is 41.1%, and the overtime use of electronic reading devices such as tablet computers is the culprit affecting spinal health. Blue alert: 6 hours a week facing electronic screens “from outpatient clinics in the forties and fifties mainly cervical spondylosis, lumbar spine pain patients, into 23 to 25 years old mainly young people, cervical spondylosis is also gradually as common as the affluenza diabetes. It is due to this phenomenon that we conducted a survey interview with 2,842 primary and secondary school students in Shanghai to find the most important causative factors.” The survey showed that facing electronic screens for 6 to 10 hours a week is a risk factor for neck and shoulder pain. Especially with tablet computers, the possibility of neck and shoulder pain is higher, because using a tablet computer requires one hand to touch the screen, an action that causes the two sides of the shoulder not to be at the same level, and the force is uneven, causing greater adverse stimulation to the cervical spine. It is recommended to reduce the use of tablet computers as much as possible. Yellow warning: whack a whack soreness disappears Many people sit in front of the computer for a long time, neck and shoulder will have a sore feeling. If there is a sense of soreness, pounding with a fist, hot towel or hair dryer blowing, feeling soreness disappears, this time, can not be careless, should pay attention to whether there is a spinal disease? If you can change bad habits at that stage, reduce the time of using the computer, and at the same time do more exercise, the damage to the spine can be restored. Orange warning: soreness does not go away easily If the soreness is not relieved even after adjustment, it means that there is a muscle imbalance, insufficient blood supply, and a large release of some inflammatory factors such as interleukins, cyclooxygenase 2, etc., which stimulates the nerve endings and leads to a further increase in soreness. At this time, it is still too late to make up for it, in addition to more exercise, acupuncture, massage and other physical therapy, but also under the guidance of a doctor, the flexible application of drugs to intervene in the treatment. Red warning: the soreness lasts for months to six months If this symptom lasts for months to six months, it will lead to changes in the physiological zone of the cervical spine area, bending and deformity, and a series of symptoms such as neurogenic pain in the upper limbs and weakness in both lower limbs. Physiotherapy and medication alone can no longer help, only surgery. The incidence of spinal disease is higher in children from families with tense family relationships, and parents should pay more attention to the physical and mental health of their children.
