Are you still staring at your cell phone? Are you still playing games or working all night in front of your computer? Give yourself a break, and most of all give your neck a vacation! Don’t let your young face, but behind the cervical vertebrae hidden premature aging. Recently in the outpatient clinic in the fall of the pillow patients are common, and the majority of patients around 30 years of age, some are the first time onset, some are repeated many times. Asked the lifestyle, the common feature is the office, daily life, in addition to the computer is low to take the phone to play games, shopping online, brush the circle of friends, and so on, did not give themselves a moment to relax the activities of space. Of course, the boring leisure time to be filled at the same time, the cervical spine of early aging also came quietly. Whenever these young people come back from X-ray, what we see is a cervical spine that is not similar to their actual age. First, let’s look at a relatively normal cervical spine in the lateral position. A normal cervical spine has a perfect physiological curvature, smooth and aligned vertebrae, and equal gaps between the vertebrae (except for congenital factors). In my work, I have collected a few patients aged around 30 years old to visualize some of the X-ray data, so that we can compare: This is a 35-year-old patient, the first diagnosis, long-term work at work, now suffering from a pillow, and can not rotate his head to the left side. Osteophytes at the posterior margin of the vertebral body (red circle), anterior margin osteophytes (blue circle) This is a 29-year-old female patient, the first visit, long-term ambulatory work, usually like to play cell phone games, shopping online shopping malls. At the time of presentation, the head could not be rotated on the left side, accompanied by soreness of the left hand. The data showed that the physiological curvature disappeared and became inverted, and the anterior and posterior margins of the vertebral body were osteophytic. This is a 14-year-old patient, student, first consultation, usually study pressure, long time low head writing homework reading, now the neck pain can not backward tilt head, and can not to the right side of the flexion. x-ray shows that the vertebral body curvature is still OK, the posterior margin of the posterior edge of the C1-7 osteophytes. Note: This patient is only 14 years old. There is a lot more information of this kind, so I won’t list them all. In fact, I personally believe that the above information shows that the situation should not have occurred at this age, especially for 14-year-old students, and should not allow the cervical spine to overdraw its own capital early. In fact, the aging process of the cervical spine can be completely controlled by ourselves. Although we can also find traces of aging, but this is a nearly 70-year-old gentleman’s cervical spine, and his secret lies in the fact that when he rests alone, he swims, runs, retires every day with his old friends to play shuttlecock, but also to participate in a choir, often performances around the world, the life arrangement is both full and active. So, throw away your cell phone, get moving and protect our cervical spine!
