Cervical spondylosis is a disorder based on degenerative pathological changes. It is mainly due to long-term strain and osteophytes of the cervical spine, or disc prolapse and ligament thickening, resulting in compression of the cervical spinal cord, nerve roots or vertebral artery, and a series of functional disorders of the clinical syndrome. The incidence of cervical spondylosis is increasing year by year, and surveys show that 25% of people under the age of 50 have suffered or are suffering from cervical spondylosis. But the clinical findings of many white-collar office workers also have a high incidence of the disease. Second, the reason: 1, chronic strain to accelerate the degeneration of the cervical spine, easy to induce cervical spondylosis. Copywriters work in the office for a long time with their heads down, causing relaxation of the neck joint capsule, ligaments and other weakness, accelerating the degeneration of the cervical spine. 2, “superior” work environment for the health of the cervical spine to lay hidden worries, when the office air conditioning after a long time open, bad cold wind stimulation easily lead to insufficient blood supply to the vertebral arteries, once this state is not corrected in a timely manner, it is easy to cause “microthrombosis”, resulting in cervical muscle spasm, neurological problems. Causes neck muscle spasm, neuroedema, resulting in neck and shoulder pain, head and neck activities are restricted; In addition, when personnel focus on something for a long time sitting still, will accelerate the cervical degeneration process, triggering “cervical cervical spondylosis”. Preventive measures: 1, always pay attention to the posture of the neck: low work back as straight as possible, the head is not too low. 2, work in front of the computer for a long time: it is best to place the computer monitor on the same level as the eye. Try to keep the neck in the same axis with the torso. Regularly change the posture of the head and neck, after an hour with the computer should be active neck, head up and look away for half a minute, both to help relieve neck muscle tension, but also to eliminate eye fatigue; check the height and tilt of the desktop, adjust the proportion of suitable individual height. The conditions can be made with the desktop is 10 ° ~ 30 ° oblique work board, ambulation work can reduce the cervical flexion and cervical interstitial pressure. 3, “work exercise” promotion: in about an hour of continuous low work should be done to raise the head, neck back stretching movement for ten minutes, you can also do “rice word exercise”: head as a “pen”. Through the rotation of the neck in the air to draw a “rice” character. At the same time, use both hands to lightly rub and knead the muscles on both sides of the neck, and use your thumbs to press the painful points on the back of the neck, and then continue to work or study.
Cross the fingers of both hands together on the occipital neck, tilt the head back and keep tugging the hands gradually in the direction of the top of the head for about 10 seconds, 3 to 5 times in a row to improve the symptoms of neck pain or shoulder and back, upper limb radiating pain. People who themselves have such symptoms can use similar such braces when studying, and the effect is also good. 4, when sleeping, to use the pillow correctly: the height of the pillow is after the head pillow down, in the side position to see the lower edge of the head not higher than the neck and shoulder combination. The bottom of the pillow should be below the neck and shoulder combination, do not make the neck and shoulder combination overhang. When lying down, the head should have a mild backward tilt to be appropriate. 5, often participate in physical exercise: exercise to swim, play badminton, jogging is most appropriate. Appropriate massage can be used to relieve neck discomfort. But pay attention to gentle techniques, do not do the kind of neck trigger therapy. 6, do not snooze on the moving bus, do not sleep on the table, read a book, etc.
