First of all, it is necessary to understand some of the factors leading to the onset of cervical spondylosis in order to take effective preventive measures in a targeted manner. At present, there are still different understanding of the etiology and pathology of cervical spondylosis at home and abroad, but many factors are certain for its development, such as head and neck trauma, strain, pillow, wind and cold, infection, poor posture and improper pillow, etc. can lead to or induce cervical spondylosis. These factors may sometimes be very minor and therefore not easy to pay attention to, but over time, they can lead to the onset of the disease. From clinical and relevant research data, it can be seen that although many people have a late onset, there are certain pathogenic factors, that is to say, the pathogenic pathological basis is already present in the months or years after the onset of the disease, so it is highly emphasized that the prevention of cervical spondylosis should be done early, starting from the adolescent period; secondly, it should be persistent. Common causative factors and preventive measures: (1) do a good job of labor, sports, performance before the preparatory activities to prevent injury to the cervical spine and other parts, such as those engaged in sports, martial arts and other occupations and students in physical education, do a good job of preparatory activities, so that the joints and muscles can be fully stretched, coordinated, and make the body’s stress capacity with it, so as to prevent or reduce the injury in sports. (2) engaged in accounting, writing, proofreading, typing and other work, often due to work position and posture or long-term head down, so that the muscles of the neck in a long-term non-coordinated stress state, the ligaments and muscles of the back of the neck is easy to be strained, strain, and vertebral body due to mutual wear and tear of the front edge of the hyperplasia, and therefore engaged in this type of work and students first of all, the correct sitting posture, should generally take a natural sitting end Position, the chest to maintain a straight, slightly forward head, eyes and desktop to maintain a distance of about 33 cm. In addition, the height of the table and chairs will also affect the human posture, such as the table is too high or chair is too low, it will make the person’s head too back and shoulders up, so that the distance between the eyes and the desktop shortened, both easy to cause strain on the neck and shoulder muscles, but also easy to lead to vision fatigue and myopia; on the contrary, if the table is too low or chair is too high, it is too much forward leaning forward, more likely to lead to strain on the neck muscles. In addition, the neck can be used to hold the back to exercise the neck muscle, eliminate fatigue and prevent strain injury. That is, the crossed fingers of both hands, held in the back of the neck, when the neck is stretched backwards, the hands put the neck forward against the force. This exercise is simple and effective, especially suitable for work and reading in between, 5 to 10 minutes each time. Some other occupations, work in a standing position or semi-standing position, in the work not only to bend the body forward, but also to neck back, this posture is most likely to cause lumbosacral muscle and back strain, so that the back and neck pain, mainly by taking the whole body exercise, such as boxing, gymnastics and other sports activities to enhance muscle strength and stamina, and through physical exercise to adapt the body to this special posture phase posture. (3) Correct the uncomfortable pillow and sleep posture. What kind of pillow is the most ideal? Simply put, it is the most suitable pillow that conforms to the physiological structure of the human cervical spine. We know that the cervical spine is composed of seven vertebrae, during which there are intervertebral discs, muscles, ligaments and small joints connected, in order to maintain the balance of the human body when standing upright and walking and cushioning walking, jumping oscillations, to protect the brain. The human cervical spine is not a vertical superposition of seven vertebrae, but a more rounded and smooth, protruding to the front of the arc, the distance between the center of the line at the ends of the arc and the top of the arc about 12 mm, such a smooth arc in the medical known as the physiological curve, referred to as the “cervical curve”. Pillow is padded under the neck, lining and maintain the neck curve, visible pillow should make its pivot point is located in the back of the neck is appropriate, the lower back and the upper back of the head part is not appropriate. The length of the pillow to more than their shoulder width 10 to 15 cm for the appropriate, the height to compress and their fist height equal or slightly at the bottom as appropriate, and the back of the neck in contact with the highest fulcrum parts, and to have some flexibility to set off the neck curve, and the back of the head in contact with the parts to be lower, softer, only to play a supporting role. About one-third of life is spent in sleep, in these long years, sleep posture reasonable or not, will have a huge impact on the human body, due to the sleep habits formed by each person from childhood. What kind of sleeping position is reasonable? As long as it does not affect or increase the burden on the heart, does not cause deformation of the body, especially the head and neck and spine, can make the muscles of the whole body fully relaxed, conducive to the rest of the sleep position is reasonable. Generally speaking, it is better to sleep in the supine position or right side lying position. (4) prevent the neck from wind and cold, and actively treat trauma to the neck, infection, tuberculosis, lymphadenitis and intervertebral discitis, etc., is also an important part of the prevention of cervical spondylosis, such as wind and cold often lead to muscle spasm and stiffness, resulting in drop pillow, cervical small joint disorder and myofibrosis. Another example is that certain neck trauma, especially coughing, sneezing, sudden turning back and sudden braking when riding in a car, etc. cause neck sprain and flash injury, which presents mild symptoms at the time, but often becomes an important factor in triggering cervical spondylosis. Therefore, timely and thorough treatment should be given. (5) Strengthen exercise and physical fitness. Life is exercise, health is exercise. Both Chinese medicine and modern medicine have recognized the great role of exercise. Experiments have shown that exercise can enhance the functions of the whole body, which can make the bone protrusion at the muscle attachment increase, thicken the dense outer layer of the bone, increase the strength of the bone, improve the blood circulation and metabolic process of the bones and joints, muscles and ligaments, thus delaying the degeneration of the bones and joints and other tissues, thus playing a preventive role. (6) Chinese medicine believes that walnut, dogwood, raw earth and black sesame have the function of tonifying the kidney and benefiting the marrow, which can play a role in strengthening the tendons and bones and delaying the degeneration of bones and joints when taken in small amounts in a reasonable manner.
