Be careful to avoid cold and damp: the spine is the most concentrated part of the body’s Yang, the Governor’s vein for the Yang will, the bladder meridian for the internal organs of the person’s Yang pass parts, the so-called “Yang Qi, such as the sky and the sun, lost its place will be broken life and not manifest”, only sufficient Yang Qi to ensure the flexibility of our spinal system and the formation of the body’s full support. The evil of cold and damp has always been the natural enemy of yang, easily entangled with the wind evil then “wind, cold and damp three gas mixed to combine and become sick”, forming a fatal damage to our body’s yang. The so-called “cold main collection”, “cold win then bone pain and flesh rot”, feeling cold often afraid of pain; “dampness heavy turbid sticky”, feeling dampness often heavy pain such as wrapping, after a long time difficult to heal; “wind is good at moving a number of changes”. “The wind is good at moving several changes”, mixed with the wind evil is often painful to change around, sometimes pain when not pain, these are all typical characteristics of our cervical spondylosis pain.
The winter weather is cold, we often know to wear more warmth, but the hot summer is the most likely to cause people paralysis season.
Sweating like rain outside, once indoors to turn on the air conditioning extremely low, the door always can not resist a cold war, some people simply never leave the air conditioning, the office has air conditioning on the back of the neck blowing, car subway has air conditioning on the top of the head blowing, home has air conditioning on the belly blowing, the whole is “months without seeing the sun”, and is not willing to Exercise sweat, this is not even, cold drinks always gulp, is extremely prone to cervical spondylosis and lumbar spondylosis, especially you will find that the incidence of acute lumbar sprains in the summer fallen pillow rather than higher than winter. Here to women to take special “care to”, young on the basis of their “young and vigorous (in fact, may not be vigorous)”, the cold winter wear super short skirt, not to mention the summer, a variety of umbilical cord dresses, backless dresses and even buttocks dresses are prevalent everywhere, only care about the style but The most important thing is that you have to pay back your overdraft when you are young and old. Many people have neck and back pain, knee osteoarthritis, menstrual disorders, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, and even all kinds of inexplicable pain and lesions. The first thing you need to do is to start lamenting the injustice of fate, not knowing that you have overspent too much when you were young.
The correct approach is to prevent cold and warmth everywhere and at all times, careful to avoid cold and damp.
Usually clothes should try to wear a little more, at least to ensure that the neck and lumbar vertebrae, knee joints, navel around and other important parts do not long exposed to the wind, cold and damp. Don’t forget to put a scarf around your neck when you go out, you can also tie a scarf in summer to look good and keep warm, killing two birds with one stone. Winter we will keep warm without too much advice, summer whether at home or in the unit, the temperature of the air conditioner should never be lower than 26 ° and never blow directly on their own, take the bus or subway must also remember to turn off the wind on their own. Every day home can do a spinal hot compress or moxibustion is the best thing. Chinese medicine believes that “movement can produce Yang”, exercise is the best way to avoid the invasion of cold and damp evil in the body, exercise to modern aerobic exercise and Chinese medicine health exercise, avoid too intense competitive sports, so as to achieve the purpose of a slight sweat to produce Yang.
Standing posture such as pine.
Many people like to stand in a resting or hooked back and waist posture, or even abdominal front, that only this is the most comfortable, in fact, this precisely shows that their spine has problems, some people will say that now almost everyone likes to stand in a resting posture, does everyone’s spine has problems? Good, if this is true enough to show that everyone’s spine has problems, but the problem is large and small, the American Chiropractic Association has publicly declared that everyone in their lifetime is often prone to spinal joint misalignment, so it is recommended that from birth on the spine of the baby adjustment, until old age, although there is a certain amount of marketing propaganda, but it also shows that everyone in their lifetime to Spinal misalignment problems occur, if you can adjust in time is not to cause disease, otherwise there is a risk of serious neck and back pain and other diseases. Correcting the daily standing posture is one of the most simple and easy methods.
Correct standing posture
When you stand, the back of your head, back, back buttocks and heels should be in a vertical line, if you can not understand this posture, you can stand with your feet slightly apart about the same width as your shoulders back to the wall, so that the back of your head, back, back buttocks and heels against the wall, and then keep the posture step forward and stand on your feet, is your correct standing posture. General spinal misalignment of people at first to maintain this posture will be more difficult, you need to adjust the state of the body with breathing, but also appropriate chest and abdomen, jaw slightly tucked so that their forehead and chin basically in a vertical line. If after a period of adaptation is still very hard or even painful, it means that your spinal misalignment is more serious, you should first find a doctor to adjust the spine.
Sitting like a bell.
Leaning in bed to read or watch TV, half leaning on the sofa crossed legs to enjoy the music, dozing on the table, or just sitting on the front of the chair to listen to the leadership lecture, these positions look either very comfortable or very comfortable or very respectful, but for the spine are a harm. Studies have found that in the human body in a sitting position when the pressure on the spine is the largest, if the posture is incorrect then invariably add more burden on the original basis, so that the cervical and lumbar spine is overwhelmed, sooner or later is to strike.
Correct sitting posture is to sit in front of the choice of height adjustable back chair and writing desk (if you need to office or study).
The whole person’s hips and back are all sitting full of backrest chair, and keep the lower legs and the ground, the knee and hip joints are vertical at an angle of 90 °, if you feel that the backrest support is not enough to add a cushion behind the waist to ensure that the entire waist and back are all leaning against the backrest chair, keep the jaw slightly closed state. If you need to study or office, you should adjust the height of the desktop and chair surface to ensure that the elbow joint is vertical at an angle of 90 °, the shoulder joint is naturally lowered, the wrist joint is naturally straight. If you use a computer should keep the top height of the monitor and eyes in the same plane.
Reclining shape like a bow.
Chinese medicine says “side dragon lying tiger back stand corpse”, that no matter what kind of posture, as long as the sleep is comfortable is a good posture, and because the body is always in constant change of posture during sleep, it is difficult to maintain a fixed posture. But for the prevention of spinal disease, the sleep position is still very careful, which is the most prone position is the most important, the biggest damage is the cervical spine, because the person in prone to avoid bed surface pressure on the oral cavity nasal cavity leading to asphyxiation, the natural head and face to one side, over time caused the cervical spine misalignment and the typical symptoms of cervical spondylosis.
The best sleeping position for cervical spondylosis patients is supine, with a suitable pillow to maintain the normal physiological curvature of the cervical spine.
The best sleeping position for patients with lumbar spondylosis is lateral, it does not matter to which side, but it is best not always fixed side to side, it is best to be able to often alternate side lying, side lying requires flexion of the hips and knees to maintain a baby-like natural flexion state. If you are unfortunate enough to have both cervical spondylosis and lumbar spine pain, then you can choose to lie on your back with a suitable pillow under the knee to keep the knee in a naturally flexed position, then the pressure on the back increased because of supine is effectively dispersed.
Sleeping on a hard bed.
The hardness of the bed is really too important for the spine, people used to buy that very poor quality Simmons in order to greed for a moment of comfort, either all sponge or spring is very little, people sleep on the whole body all trapped, a night of sleep down the back pain is very uncomfortable. Now the good Simmons to much better, very fine workmanship, very many springs, can form an effective support for all parts of the body. There are more popular memory mattress, the brand is good to do the pressure test is also very good, can form an effective dispersion of the body’s gravity. We generally recommend the better quality of the brown mattress bed or a good elasticity of the wooden bed, after adding a mattress on top is the best softness, both to ensure the comfort of sleeping and will not hurt our spinal system, generally speaking, fat people sleep on the hard side of the bed, thin people sleep on the soft side of the bed.
Scientific pillow.
Pillow for cervical spondylosis patients is the most important, it accompanies us for the longest time, almost 1/3 of our life to accompany the cervical spine. Influenced by the traditional “high pillow” thinking, most of us sleep on the pillow is always on the high side, is a major factor leading to our cervical spondylosis, many people also appear hunchback phenomenon. Or some patients after hearing that high pillows are not good for the cervical spine and go to the other extreme, not to pad the pillow, which is also the wrong approach, will cause the cervical spine no support, resulting in cervical curvature disappeared and lead to cervical spondylosis.
For sleep with a pillow the correct attitude should be “avoid high pillow, not without a pillow”.
In the supine position, the appropriate height of the pillow is padded in the back of the neck just enough to fully support the entire neck but not too high, to determine whether too high or too low is the position of the forehead and chin in the supine position just on the same level, so that the cervical spine is the most comfortable, walking in the cervical spine neurovascular and will not be compressed. When lying on your side, the height of the pillow should be the same as the width of your unilateral shoulder, so that your cervical spine is in a neutral position and not tilted to one side. As for the texture of the pillow to buckwheat hull pillow is the most appropriate, both to ensure the appropriate hardness, but also to ensure good ventilation state. Now on the market to sell a better brand of memory pillow is also very good, both to form enough support for the neck, but also to disperse the gravity of the head and neck off. Of course, for the cervical spine physiological curvature straightening or even anti-arch patients, should sleep on a suitable size of round pillow, sleep on the pad for half an hour a day, generally about 3 months to form a good orthopedic effect on the cervical curvature. Chinese medicine pillow can also play a certain therapeutic effect on different types of cervical spondylosis.
Lie in bed do not see.
Lying in bed watching TV or reading a book is a very bad habit, not only destroyed the bedroom, living room and study different functional partition, but also formed a serious injury to our spine, because this lying in bed half-lying posture on the cervicothoracic lumbar spine are formed a lot of pressure and destructive force, over time developed into cervical and lumbar pain. The only function of the bed is to sleep and rest, so unless absolutely necessary, do not lie in bed to read or watch TV, in the need to read or watch TV when we try to study or living room to “sit upright” or leisurely.
Do not sleep on the sofa.
Home from work too tired or drunk directly on the sofa to see the TV, unconsciously head on the armrests of the sofa into a sweet dream, but first thing in the morning suddenly found that the neck can not move, the pain is intense, which we often encounter in the clinical patients, do not want to covet a moment of saving but brought a big injury to the cervical spine, once or twice it does not matter, if always so eventually always develop into irreparable The cervical spondylosis is irreversible.
The function of the sofa is to sit, not sleep, so when you feel tired must wash clean and honestly lie down to bed, so as not to bring unnecessary pain, regret is too late.
Driving do not labor:
There are cars naturally convenient a lot, but fatigue driving also brings great harm to our cervical and lumbar spine, especially on the highway or car a lot of attention needs to be highly concentrated, our cervical and lumbar spine always have to fight with all kinds of pain and discomfort, this is not even, if in over fatigue and then a sharp brakes, resulting in our cervical spine whipping injury, that is not a joke, enough pain in your life.
The correct way to drive is to adjust the seat to our most suitable position.
To hand steering wheel and foot on the clutch, brake and gas pedal are not effort for the degree, if necessary in the seat installed a cushion and a small round pillow, in order to facilitate us to do in between driving proper neck and lumbar relaxation and rest. Do not drive for more than one hour at a time, then get out of the car to take a break, breathe fresh air and drink water to the bathroom is a good choice, absolutely forbidden to drive alone more than 4 hours of fatigue. In the car start or emergency braking should be highly concentrated, so that the cervical spine is fully prepared to prevent whiplash injury.
