Busy morning you, first with the life of the gentleman to do a small action: head gently tilted back, and then try to turn to the left, and then turn to the right. If you feel neck pain, stiffness, or even make a sound, it means that your cervical spine is suffering from “torture”. The cervical spine consists of seven bones that form a heavy cross with the shoulders, supporting the weight of the head. Injury to the cervical spine will trigger a series of “chain reaction”, affecting the health of the whole body: 70% of headaches related to the neck; insufficient blood supply in the neck is prone to dizziness; cervical spondylosis can be caused by swallowing; cervical vertebrae subluxation leading to cervicothoracic syndrome; …… Life Times interviews Authoritative experts, listed your injury to the cervical spine of all kinds of “sins”, teach you to protect this fragile health key road. Cervical spondylosis, measure you in the first few levels Cervical spondylosis is a common disease among doctors, teachers, white-collar workers and programmers, cell phone enthusiasts, mahjong enthusiasts, the following cervical spondylosis is divided into ten grades from light to heavy, to see how much you are similar to, in the first few levels? Level 1: Neck pain and stiffness. (It is recommended to look up at the ceiling to see if there is any feeling at the back of the neck.) Level 2: Soreness and stiffness in the neck, shoulders and back. Grade 3: Frequent sleep falls. (Falling pillow is a kind of light cervical spondylosis) Level 4: arm is not strong, pain, numbness. (From this level to go to the hospital basically) Level 5: walking, running away. Sixth level: writing begins to change. (From this level onwards, you may need to have an operation.) Level 7: Eating starts with a spoon, not daring to use chopsticks. Grade 8: Walking like stepping on cotton, one foot deep, one foot shallow. Grade 9: Difficulty in urination, defecation and sexual function. (Surgery from this level is no longer effective.) Grade 10: Cannot get out of bed. (From this level onwards, the risk of surgery is very high.) If you have cervical spondylosis, you may have to “blame” yourself. Chronic strain injury is the main cause of cervical spondylosis, such as prolonged low head work or computer, sleeping on a high pillow, leaning on the sofa and watching TV, which will cause the neck muscles to be in a state of fatigue for a long period of time. In other words, the main blame for whiplash is yourself. 1, blame you sit without sitting phase, stand without standing phase Stilts legs, neck forward, almost did not stick to the computer screen; hunchback, ha ha waist, only sit in the front third of the chair; lying on the table lunch break; commute to and from work to play with a cell phone; sleep at night with a pillow too high …… When we keep a bad posture for a long time, it is equivalent to give the cervical spine of the front convexity a reaction force, the cervical spine needs to resist your reaction force to maintain physiological curvature, which will involve the ligaments and muscles around the cervical spine. In the long run, the ligaments and muscles will be damaged, resulting in soreness and pain, and limited cervical spine activity. If you do not correct the posture in a timely manner, and pay more attention to the maintenance of the cervical spine, it will further injure the cervical spine, resulting in cervical spine subluxation, hyperplasia, etc., then you will really suffer from cervical spondylosis. 2, blame you do not take a break in time Many office workers sit for two or three hours or half a day, and so back to God’s time, you are often found that the neck can not move, a little hard to turn, click click click click click; pinch the back of the shoulder, hard than slate. 3, blame you do not more activities neck Many people are busy, eight in the morning and six in the evening, and even late seven, eight, nine …… simply do not have time to specialize in sports, not to mention the activities of the neck. 4, blame you for what heavy to carry on the body In order to figure out a convenient, hang the phone on the neck; favorite fashion shoulder bag, umbrellas, cell phones, snacks, and even lunch boxes are also stuffed, cervical vertebrae will be under pressure. In fact, the neck is very weak, can only withstand your head, the top plus some headgear and hats. 5, blame you want to wind do not temperature Chinese medicine believes that wind and dampness can invade the tendons along the meridians, resulting in cervical and lumbar spine. You did not find the winter, you do not wrap a scarf, or hot days blowing on the fan or air conditioning, the neck is particularly sore, and even inexplicably pillow it? But there are also some causes of whiplash and their own bad habits have nothing to do, can not be prevented. 1, chronic infection Some seem to be completely unrelated to the cervical spine parts of the inflammation, especially chronic infection, may increase the incidence of cervical spondylosis. Common pharyngitis, followed by dental caries, periodontitis, otitis media, etc., these parts of the inflammation can directly stimulate the soft tissues of the neck, or through the lymphatic system to cause cervical occipital soft tissue lesions. 2, aging degradation As age increases, the body parts of the injury is also increasing, the cervical spine will also produce a variety of degenerative changes, compression and stimulation of nerve roots and vertebral artery, resulting in cervical spondylosis. Therefore, early attention to the correct posture, do not sleep high pillow, more running, swimming, etc., can make the cervical spine “old” slower. 3, head and neck trauma 50% of medullary cervical spondylosis etiology and neck trauma. Some cervical spondylosis patients, due to cervical spine osteophytes, cervical disc bulging, soft tissue lesions in the spinal canal, so that the cervical spinal canal is in a narrowed critical state, once traumatized, it is likely to become “the last straw that breaks the camel’s back”, triggering the production of symptoms. A set of “rehabilitation exercise” to raise a good cervical spine Disease three points to treat seven points to raise. Functional exercise is particularly important for the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of cervical spondylosis. Here to introduce a set of cervical spine rehabilitation exercise, but in the exercise must pay attention to: 1, the beginning of each action, neck and shoulder relaxation, the neck upward slow pull stretch; 2, the action of gentle and slow, similar to the speed and taijiquan; activity from small to large, to remain within the physiological range, that is, the forward flexion, backward extension, lateral flexion of 40 degrees or so, about 75 degrees of lateral rotation; 3, the activity of mild acidic heat to the neck and shoulder, the pain can be tolerated, avoid fast, drastic, too hard; 4, fast, drastic, too hard. Fast, large-scale, too hard; 4, the exercise is to insist on, each group of about 10 minutes, 2 ~ 4 groups / day. Rehabilitation exercises are as follows: 1, forward flexion and backward extension of the neck slowly forward flexion, up to the maximum extent, hold for 5 seconds, and then back to the original position; cervical spine slowly backward, up to the maximum extent, hold for 5 seconds, and then back to the original position. Repeat 10 times. 2, rotate the neck and look at the heel, cervical spine slowly upward stretching, head and neck left rotation, both eyes to the back of the lower part of the best effort to look at the opposite side of the heel, up to the maximum extent of the force to stretch the neck, hold for about 5 seconds, restore the other side to repeat the same action. Repeat 10 times. 3, look back at the moon, head and neck left rotation, eyes to the left side of the back on the 45-degree view, up to the maximum extent of the force to stretch the neck, hold for about 5 seconds, restore the right side to repeat the same action. Repeat this 10 times. 4, fledglings take off standing position, feet apart and shoulder width, hands behind the hands, stretch backward; at the same time the head and neck try to tilt back, neck and shoulder back muscle contraction, hold for 5 seconds; and then neck and shoulder muscles to relax, return to the original position. So repeat 10 times. 5, rocking shoulders hands down naturally, shoulders in turn from the neutral position to the back, after the upper, before the upper, before the neutral position, do the largest slow rocking 10 times, and then from the front to the back of the opposite direction slow rocking 10 times.
