Prevention of cervical spondylosis, lumbar pain Modern society, people work under pressure, life is stressful, a variety of “civilization disease and office syndrome” also came one after another, there is a text message said “not high wages, not high level, high blood pressure; work is not outstanding, political performance is not outstanding, the disc prominence “, and recent statistics show that the incidence of spinal disorders is increasing and gradually becoming a common social problem, why do we have so many problems with the spine? This is to be found in the evolutionary history and structure of the spine. From an evolutionary point of view, more than 2 million years ago, apes and monkeys are crawling, the weight of the whole body is evenly distributed throughout the spine, and from crawling to walking upright, only 10,000 to 20,000 years, the spine is too late to fully adapt to the needs of upright walking, however, after the industrial revolution, we stand less and less time, sitting more and more opportunities, could have climbed the stairs, prefer to take the elevator, could have walked However, after the industrial revolution, we spend less and less time standing and more and more time sitting. From the structure of the spine: at birth, our spine is straight, walking upright before the formation of four physiological curvature, they are like a spring cushion the longitudinal pressure, of which the cervical and lumbar curvature activity is the most, but also the most vulnerable to injury. And the intervertebral disc after 25 years old, it began to dehydration degeneration, under the action of various stresses, it is easy to damage, just like a girl after 25 years old to take care of the skin seriously, our intervertebral disc also need the same care. Once it protrudes, a series of problems will ensue. Do humans have to go through this ordeal? We can’t help but ask “what can I do to save you, my spine”. In fact, the old ancestors had a legacy, the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, “the sage does not treat the sick to treat the sick”, “prevent the sick before the sick, the sick to prevent change”, this “treat the sick” idea has been passed down for thousands of years. This idea of “treating the disease before it happens” has been passed down for thousands of years. There is a popular saying that “medicine is better than food, and food is better than movement”. And a thousand years ago, the Dharma ancestor to prevent meditation after the Qi and blood, has created a set of Shaolin fitness exercises — is the legendary secret book of martial arts “Yi Jin Jing”, we look like today’s seventh set of radio gymnastics. Today, the modern medical model has evolved into a mind-body-social medical model, and Chinese and Western medicine have finally come together after thousands of years, and people are increasingly aware of the importance of preventive medicine. For example, 22 states in the United States have legislation requiring spinal health screening for children aged 10-14 years to achieve early prevention. In addition, the United States, Canada, Switzerland and other countries have set up BACK SCHOOL (Low Back Pain School) to train a group of professional orthopedic consultants to teach people how to protect themselves with proper posture to prevent low back pain before they go to work, saving tens of billions of dollars in health insurance spending each year. On the contrary, on the one hand, China’s public health knowledge is not enough, improper prevention, on the other hand, the lack of medical resources, the concept of treatment is more important than prevention, in order to let the people suffer less, less money, we put forward the concept of “comprehensive spinal health care”. How should we do it? Then we must start from sitting, lying, standing and walking, people may be surprised, walking and sleeping who can not ah? In fact, we have many misconceptions. Take sleep, we all know that the pillow is worry-free, but how high is worry-free? Pillow should generally not exceed 12cm that is, a fist high, otherwise it will cause fatigue of the cervical muscles, resulting in straightening of the neck curvature or even anti-tensor. Some people love to sleep on their stomachs, not knowing that sleeping on their stomachs, the cervical spine is in a state of rotation, the torso spine is also twisted, and often this is inevitably detrimental to health, so the correct posture should be lying down, side lying. Then how to sit is correct? We can look at each other, whether someone in the hunchback “pile sitting” it? Such a sitting posture for a long time will lead to lumbar back muscle fatigue, spinal mechanics imbalance, the correct practice is the back of the chair to hold the waist, to maintain its convexity curvature, and continuous sitting is best not to exceed 1 hour. Sitting workers all day long, during the work period should stand up 4 to 6 times, so I recommend that we resume the “workplace exercises” to protect our spine. Let’s talk about how to stand correctly. Why “back good” sold fire, because many people “one stop on three bends”, that is, hunchback loose belly standing. At this point, the spine mainly depends on the tension of the ligaments to maintain balance, over time, there will be a deepening of the lumbar curve, increased load on the low back muscles, so it is recommended that we do people to be “good”. A similar problem is the high heels, high heels make the spine center of gravity shift forward, waist curvature deepened, hips up, although highlighting the beauty of women’s curves, but the pain of “who wears who knows”. So your heel should not exceed 5 centimeters. So, in everyday life, how exactly should we protect ourselves? When we lift heavy objects, we should try to avoid using waist strength, but the use of lower limb strength, due to the principle of leverage, the weight through the force arm, the action to the waist will increase by several times or even a dozen times, so hold heavy objects when the center of gravity must be as close to the body. In short, sitting, lying, standing and walking together, or the old saying “stand like a pine, sitting like a bell, walking like the wind, lying like a bow”. How should we exercise in our daily lives? Many generations of doctors have left a lot of valuable heritage. Such as Hua Tuo’s “five birds play”, mainly imitating the tiger, bear, deer, ape, bird, these five animal movements, respectively, corresponding to the five organs, five elements, not only to exercise the limbs of the muscles and bones, but also the internal organs to get a full range of movement. In fact, spinal health care is a huge systemic project, but the most basic procedures exist in our daily lives. Here, I call on all colleagues here to seize the opportunity to popularize Chinese medicine and combine the scientific methods of modern medicine to spread the new concept of spinal health to thousands of families. Let’s start with ourselves, start with our spine, strengthen our backbone and welcome a healthy future!
