In late summer and early autumn, the weather turns cool, at this time, a variety of cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis and other “old problems” and to the peak of the attack. Especially in the hot summer, blowing air conditioners, greedy cold drinking, sleeping cowhide mat, etc., a cool autumn, these “persistent diseases” also to “after the autumn account”. And in the market, high-grade pillows, traction apparatus, health care necklace, magnetic bed water bed, etc. “can cure cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis,” the product is endless, but some “old patients” repeatedly try, but no effect, improper method but also aggravate The disease. Sleeping high-grade pillow why still “pillow” Mr. Guo recently very distressed. Since the cervical spondylosis, has been using his daughter to buy him a cervical spine treatment pillow. However, the cervical spondylosis not only half improved, but also the pillow. The longest time is a week is not better, the shortest also has three or four days. This has brought Mr. Guo endless troubles. The reporter found in the interview, the market on the treatment of cervical spondylosis pillow a lot, sales are also good. Generally visible on the market are mainly two kinds: one is “shaped pillow”. Both ends are high, low, curved; the other is a “memory pillow”, it will change shape according to the person’s sleeping position. After a few uses, it will automatically “remember” and make the shape fixed according to the individual’s sleeping posture. But in comparison, the price is much more expensive. Professor Zhan Hongsheng, director of the Orthopedic Institute of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shuguang Hospital, said that because the shape of the “plastic pillow” is fixed, the softness and shape of the pillow can not be adjusted according to the needs of individuals. Therefore, in the use of “plastic pillow”, the time should not be too long, generally controlled in half an hour to 1 hour between the best. Pillows on the market are rarely equipped with instructions to indicate the use of time, some patients are often unaware of the situation all night to sleep on the pillow, it is easy to suffer from the “pillow”. In addition, there are buckwheat pillow, soybean pillow and other such hard and can not be shaped pillow, not only sleep on the hard, and the treatment of cervical spondylosis is not very useful. There are many elderly people suffering from cervical spondylosis, often filial children gullible advertising, bought a high-grade pillow for the elderly. In fact, buy a pillow does not have to be expensive, the key is the size, height, soft and hard, etc. suitable for you, is a “personalized” pillow. Professor Zhan Hongsheng said that the pillow suitable for cervical spondylosis patients is the need for a certain degree of softness and height. The most suitable pillow height, should be when the person is sleeping on the side, so that the height of the pillow and the height of one shoulder in line. In addition, use a large clean towel at home, roll it up, adjust it to the right height, pad it under the neck and sleep flat for half an hour. For the treatment of cervical spondylosis, not only the effect is obvious, but also to avoid the pillow, and does not need to spend a lot. Traction treatment of cervical spondylosis to “vary from person to person” Ms. Chen suffered from cervical spondylosis for many years, and recently she bought a traction machine to do traction at home every day. But not only is the condition not improving, but there are signs of aggravation. Ms. Chen not only has pain in her neck every day, she can’t even lift her head up. What’s going on here? The main reason for this is the fact that the company’s products and services are not suitable for everyone. If the traction method is not correct, it may also be counterproductive. For patients with vascular cervical spondylosis and lumbar disc herniation, traction is useless for them. On the contrary, traction is relatively suitable for cervical spondylosis patients with nerve root inflammation. Because through traction, not only can the nerve root space in the cervical spine be stretched, so that the pressure becomes smaller, thus relieving the inflammation. Generally speaking, the clinical manifestation of patients with nerve root inflammation is mostly numbness in the upper limbs and pain like electric shock. However, traction should not be done too much, too much may lead to muscle spasm. Usually a course of no more than 10 times will relieve the symptoms. Do not continue to do traction after relief, otherwise it is easy to aggravate the condition. In addition, buying a traction device at home and doing traction at home by yourself may also aggravate the condition because the traction is not done correctly. If you do traction in the hospital, the doctor will stretch the patient’s neck upwards by 10 degrees; if you do traction at home, the patient’s neck is often stretched vertically upwards. Once the direction is not right, it is also easy to strain the neck. It is recommended that when patients choose a traction device to treat cervical spondylosis, they should also choose a method suitable for their use under the guidance of a doctor. Health care necklace for cervical spine is mostly “psychological implication” Miss Zhang recently “fashionable”, also bought a beautiful, allegedly cured cervical spondylosis health care necklace. Miss Zhang complained: “every day in the company to work on the computer, not only no opportunity for activity, but also often feel sore neck, and in serious cases even numb. See around many friends are wearing health care necklace, it is said that can also prevent and treat cervical spondylosis, so also to taste.” Zhang Weibin, chief physician of the orthopedic department of Ruijin Hospital, said that the so-called health necklace that claims to cure cervical spondylosis has no scientific basis in clinical medicine. A certain strength of the magnetic field can play a role in the growth of the bone, but for the elimination of bone spurs, treatment of osteophytes, lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, etc., does not work; on the contrary, if the magnetic field strength is too large, the human body will also cause some harm. Professor Zhan Hongsheng also said that the so-called health care necklace claiming to be able to treat cervical spondylosis, there is no research in medicine. Probably it can play mostly or the role of psychological suggestion. Often sun mattress so that dry, flexible “old” can naturally recover Today, there are many water bed, magnetic bed and other products on the market. Because of its alleged benefits to the human bone, attracting many people to buy. Professor Zhan Hongsheng especially reminded everyone, in the prevention, treatment of cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis at the same time, can not blindly put all the hope in the material of these beds, and ignore the mattress itself “maintenance”. In fact, the mattress itself “maintenance” is also very important. Especially in the summer, the body is easy to sweat, so the mattress is easy to moisture. If not timely drying, will make the mattress has been in a damp state, sleeping on this wet mattress every day, equal to “long sleep wet”, cold and wet invade the body, but aggravate the disease. Experts suggest that a variety of mattresses can be padded with a layer of cotton wool pad quilt. This layer of cotton wool pad can be often dried, keep the mattress dry, but also has a certain degree of flexibility, some cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis and other diseases, it will naturally get good. Do not “sedentary” work, exercise to take into account Now, many white-collar workers in the office during the day to sit in front of the computer is a whole day. At night back home, but also sitting in front of the computer to work overtime, such as: sending and receiving e-mail, network meetings, MSN chat. Even if you take a break, you are sitting in front of the TV watching TV, watching DVDs and so on. Not only is life irregular, but there is also no time for exercise. Professor Wang Weili, director of orthopedics at Renji Hospital, said that prolonged sedentary, not only will cause muscle strain, in the long run, will also suffer from cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis, etc.. In fact, the “office family” as long as attention to strengthen the movement; daily office hours sitting for about 1 hour, get up and walk around; and then try to take some time to do exercises, running, to maintain a regular life, pay attention to rest.
