Cervical Spondylosis The cervical spine is mildly anteriorly convex on a normal lateral cervical spine radiograph. The presence of the physiological curvature of the cervical spine reduces and cushions the shock of gravity and prevents damage to the spinal cord and brain. Wind and cold, humidity, improper pillow or lying posture, cervical muscle strain, prolonged single posture of the head and neck, poor posture or excessive fatigue can cause strain on the cervical intervertebral discs, interprotrusive joints, muscles and ligaments, which in turn can cause the anterior convexity of the cervical spine to gradually disappear and its physiological curvature to straighten or even become retroflexed. Cervical spine physiological curvature straightening is a pre-cervical spine disease lesion, the patient’s cervical spine stability is poor, once fatigue or excessive strain, muscle tension, pain, some people will also appear dizziness symptoms. Common people Clinically, there are three groups of people who are most prone to cervical spine physiological curvature straightening, namely, long-term head-down workers; long-term bed-bound TV watchers; and long-term high pillow sleepers, with teachers and bank workers being the most common among various occupations (long-term computer users such as family doctors and community nurses are also very common). Attention Many people neglect cervical spine treatment and do not take neck and back pain seriously. The “cervical spine”, which is attached to the skull and the trunk, has a dense neurovascular distribution and is an important part of the nerve center of the human body, and is a necessary route for cerebral blood circulation. Therefore, once the disease occurs, it will certainly affect the blood supply to the heart and brain and the central nervous system, resulting in various cervical diseases, leading to serious consequences. To avoid straightening the cervical spine, it is necessary to straighten the back. When you have to work and study on the computer, adjust the height of the desk and chair to the best state in proportion to your height to avoid excessive head and neck backward or excessive forward flexion to reduce the fatigue caused by prolonged sitting; it is best to choose a low middle and high pillow at both ends during sleep, which is good for maintaining the physiological position of cervical convexity. Treatment In order to prevent collapse of the waist, hunchback, you can pad a ten-centimeter-thick lumbar cushion in the waist, head end, facing the front, so that the entire spine to maintain the natural physiological curvature. Massage and tui-na therapy has the effect of relaxing tendons and channels, activating blood circulation and dispersing stasis, relieving swelling and pain, slipping joints and rectifying misalignment. You can also strengthen some neck stretching exercises, exercise the strength of the neck muscle, and ease the weight on the neck caused by long-term head down. Tilt back stretching Hands together with palms crossed behind the neck, head back, to the maximum, while the arms forward against the force. Back stretching and pulling Cross your hands behind your back and hold both sides of your scapulae as far inward as possible, push your hands downward and tilt your head and neck back as far as possible to the maximum. Look back at the moon Take the right side as an example, right foot in a lunge, right hand crossed, head and neck turned to the right as far as possible, tilt back to the maximum, while the left hand downward force.
