Prevention of cervical spondylosis, these actions are very reliable

  The New York Spine Surgery and Rehabilitation Center published a report in the journal “International Surgical Science and Technology” stating that playing with a cell phone with the head down can put the cervical spine under 60 pounds (about 27 kilograms) of pressure, heavier than a 7-year-old child. The cervical spine is like the mast of a sailboat, and the muscles that control the movement of the cervical spine are like the ropes that hold the mast in place, so if there is a problem with the rear ropes, the mast will not be stable. Under normal circumstances, the muscles controlling the four directions of the cervical spine are in a state of dynamic equilibrium, but when the head is repeatedly lowered for a long time so that the center of gravity of the head is shifted forward, the posterior cervical muscles are overloaded by the need to pull the head forward. The muscle equilibrium is broken chronic strain injury, over time the cervical spine curvature change will produce cervical spondylosis.
