The World Cup in South Africa is here, and it can be a holiday for the majority of fans. As a spine surgeon, I can’t help but be a little worried after the celebration – there may be more patients with cervical spine pain. Due to the time difference, most of the World Cup matches in our country at night, I believe that many fans will lie in bed at night to watch TV, and lying in bed watching TV on the cervical spine can be very bad. The reasons are as follows: 1. It is easy to make the head and neck a point of emphasis. Many patients who come to the clinic to see the cervical spine have one thing in common – leaning on the back of the bed to watch TV. In itself, if you sit up straight against the back of the bed is okay, but because half of the bed is relatively soft and flexible, gradually the neck will nest into a “C” shape, this posture is precisely contrary to the physiological bending of the cervical spine, and therefore prone to neck pain. 2, the height of the TV set is not appropriate. Some people’s bedroom television set is too high or too low, people lying watching television too tilted or head down, a ball game for nearly two hours, the neck muscles in a posture for a long time, it is easy to fatigue and produce pain symptoms. 3, easy to happen neck sprain. When people are lying down to watch TV, no matter what position to take, compared to the sitting position, most of the neck muscles are in a relaxed state, but the World Cup soccer matches are often exciting, sudden goals, it is easy to make fans excited, once a jerk a head or get up, it is easy to trigger a mild dislocation of the neck arthrosis, muscle sprain, thus inducing cervical spine disease. Dr. Kangnan suggests: bad posture is an important factor in triggering cervical spondylosis, watching the World Cup is best to sit on the sofa, online viewing is also appropriate to adopt a sitting posture. Fans with cervical spondylosis, pay attention to the activities of the neck between games, so that the local muscles and joints to relax and rest, and pay attention to avoid the air conditioning temperature is too low when watching the game, so that the neck is cold. In the hot summer, accompanied by the World Cup is very pleasant, athletes should pay attention to health, fans should pay more attention to health.
