What are the rehabilitation methods for cervical spondylosis

  The modern high pace of life makes people drive to and from work every day, take the elevator up and down, and even work overtime, not to mention what physical exercise, self-care, not do not want, just no time. Many people are often busy after a long day, feel like a mountain behind the neck, very uncomfortable. Experts reminded that this is the cervical spine for a long time by the “compression” of the protest, over time, cervical spondylosis will find up.  Cervical spondylosis, also known as cervical spine syndrome, is a series of degenerative pathological changes mainly in the vertebrae and intervertebral discs of the neck and the total sum. In recent years, it has been observed that its incidence is age-related, generally showing an increased incidence with age, with 27.9% of people around 50 years of age having suffered or being affected by the disease as reported in the literature. At present, according to clinical observation, there is a trend of younger people suffering from this disease due to high work pressure and poor living habits.  Often sedentary work rarely exercise people is the high incidence of cervical spondylosis, experts suggest that these people, should especially cherish the opportunity to walk every day. Because the long-term sitting makes the spinal disc pressure increased significantly, a survey shows that if the pressure of the intervertebral disc in the standing position is calculated at 100%, the pressure of the intervertebral disc in the sitting position is 150%, and the pressure of bending and bearing weight is up to 270%. In the long run, the damage to the intervertebral discs of the spine is great, easily causing loss of water in the intervertebral discs, early aging, ligamentous laxity of the annulus fibrosus, disc protrusion. The normal spine of the human body has four physiological bends, cervical convexity, thoracic convexity, lumbar convexity, sacral convexity, these four bends have a great physiological function under normal circumstances, can maintain the body’s center of gravity in the center, so that the body achieves a perfect balance, if you keep sitting for a long time, it will make the normal four bends of the spine deviate from the center, when the cervical convexity deviates from the maximum. This will cause the physiological curvature of the cervical spine to straighten or even disappear over a long period of time. The patient can have discomfort in the muscles of the neck, and cervical spondylosis will occur in the long run. However, if you can pay attention to regular activities in daily life and maintain the correct standing, walking and sitting posture, you can prevent cervical spondylosis and maintain good health.  Correct standing posture Whenever we walk in the street as long as we pay attention, we will find that some people are used to being in a natural slack state, head down, bending, hunchback, etc. so that the spine, cervical spine for no reason to bear more pressure, accelerate its degeneration. In fact, the correct posture should be: when standing, the whole body from the center of the feet slightly up, that is, the abdomen and chest; shoulders open and slightly backward; hands slightly folded, naturally drooping; jaw slightly tightened, eyes level, the top of the head, such as a bowl of water or a book; back waist tightened, pelvis up, leg muscles tense, the inner knee clenching, so that the spine to maintain the normal physiological curve. From the side, the ears, shoulders, hips, knees and ankles should be in a vertical line. With the adjustment of breathing, should find a slightly tense in the relaxation of the confident, comfortable feeling. Correct standing posture can be trained from the back against the wall, once a day in the morning and once in the evening for 15 minutes each time, with a book on your head. Maintaining the correct standing posture is important for a healthy life Correct walking posture When walking, keep in mind the main points of standing, hands slightly thrown behind you. Clench your legs and try to walk with your feet in a straight line. Walk with your heels on the ground first and your feet on the ground afterwards, and produce a slight rhythmic twist in your hips. The correct walking posture should be based on the correct standing posture. The first month is the most difficult to adhere to, if you can adhere to practice three months, then the correct standing posture, walking posture will make your cervical and lumbar spine lifelong benefits.  Correct sitting posture Many office white-collar workers are used to hunching their backs and waists when sitting in the office, coupled with long periods of time, so that the cervical vertebrae are in a state of prolonged forward flexion strain, the posterior cervical muscles are in a straight state, contrary to the physiological curve of the cervical vertebrae convex, thoracic vertebrae convex. The correct sitting posture is actually an extension of the correct standing posture and walking posture, should be as close as possible to the distance from the workbench, the height of the table and chairs to the best state with their height ratio appropriate. Waist straight, shoulders are still back, work intervals should often do with breathing natural shoulder lifting action, every 5-10 minutes should be raised back to rest for a moment, so that the head, neck, shoulders, chest in a slightly tense normal physiological curve state, and try to avoid excessive head and neck tilt or back; tracing, drawing and other professional design staff can adjust the table tilt 10 -30 degrees, to reduce sitting fatigue. The hips should be in full contact with the chair surface, can often use the back of the chair to hold the back of the waist for a short rest. Special reminder of the head left or right writing habits of white-collar workers should pay attention to correct “bias”, such as a moment to change, can slowly turn the head every hour for a moment to eliminate the “partial neck” state of muscle fatigue.  Start from the details, little by little accumulation, you can stay away from cervical spondylosis!
