How should I proceed to protect my neck?

Neck, is the human body in the skull and torso connected to the bridge and “traffic” hub; cervical spine, is its rich mobility “spring-loaded pillars”. If the cervical spine, the neck is sick, then the person wants to live in peace is very difficult. Therefore, how to protect the neck, cervical spine in daily life, work and study, not to be traumatized or suffer from a variety of cervical spondylosis, it is very urgent and important. The neck and cervical spine are not easy to protect. The cervical spine is a large degree of activity in the spine, and very flexible part. Usually inadvertent movements and persistent bad posture, easy to cause chronic strain or acute injury to the cervical spine, thus promoting degenerative changes in the cervical spine. As age continues to grow and poor posture continues, it can lead to a variety of cervical spondylosis. So, how to prevent neck trauma, correct bad posture, slow down or eliminate the occurrence of cervical spondylosis? One should pay attention to the neck posture. Keep your head up and walk posture, eyes looking straight ahead, don’t always bow your head and walk; cultivate a good sitting posture, avoid occupational “low head syndrome” occurs. Long-term engaged in low head work, such as teachers, medical personnel, accounting and financial personnel, office clerical staff and scientific research workers, etc., in the course of the work should be appropriate, intermittent, rhythmic adjustment of the neck position, and regularly do some of the neck after the extension, rotary movements and expansion of the chest, stretching and shrugging activities, to improve the fatigue state of the neck, to prevent cervical spondylosis sprouting. Second, to prevent neck trauma. Elderly people should not be too sharp, too fierce and too large when turning their necks back to avoid fainting, fainting, cervical spine injuries and other accidents. Most of the cervical vertebrae of the elderly have bone spurs and narrowing of the intervertebral space, transverse foramen arrangement is not necessarily neat, and the vertebral artery also has different degrees of sclerosis, the diameter of the tube becomes smaller, on this basis, the cervical spine sharp turn, will make the artery suddenly compression, resulting in supply of blood flow to the brain stem is reduced drastically, very easy to cause vertigo and fainting, or secondary cervical spine injuries and other bone fracture. Usually take a cab to fasten the seatbelt, to prevent emergency braking or bumps and oscillations due to the inertia of the neck dislocation injury. Experts pointed out that the moment before the injury, if the accident early premonition, timely prevention, can reduce the inertia of the head shaking, reduce or avoid cervical spine injury. Participate in a variety of sports activities, such as running, jumping, jumping, swimming and diving, etc., are required to do sufficient preparatory activities, correctly grasp the essentials of the action, can avoid the occurrence of accidental neck injury. Three to reduce the pressure or pressure on the neck. Men’s shirt collar, tie and bow tie can not be tied too tight. Once the neck pressure, the carotid artery first suffer, and then make the vertebral artery blood supply is insufficient, will cause the patient bradycardia, blood pressure drop, resulting in brain ischemia and fainting. For middle-aged and elderly people, it is easier to complicate the carotid artery ball allergy, after a series of chain effects, it will make vision loss. Persistent pressure on the neck becomes one of the root causes of vertebral artery-type cervical spondylosis. In addition, the improper height of the pillow during sleep will also bring pressure to the neck and cervical spine. Data show that in the consultation of cervical spondylosis patients in about 250 people have like lying high pillow bad habits, in fact, is not desirable. But the pillow is too low or do not use the pillow sleep is also not appropriate. Usually must develop good sleeping habits, to prevent “pillow”. In the face of cervical spondylosis increasingly younger trend, we must strengthen in the above three aspects of the neck, cervical spine health care, as well as the prevention of cervical spondylosis. To prevent from the young, from the life of small things to do, never forget to protect the neck. Only in this way, your “transportation” hub can be unimpeded, your life will be peaceful and comfortable.
