In late summer and early autumn, the weather turns cool, at this time, a variety of cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis and other “old problems” to the peak of the attack. Especially in the hot summer, blowing air conditioners, greedy cold drinking, sleeping cowhide mat, etc., a cool autumn, these “persistent diseases” also to “after the autumn account”. And in the market, high-grade pillows, traction apparatus, health care necklace, magnetic bed water bed and other kinds of “can cure cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis” products are endless, but some “old patients” repeatedly try, not only no effect, improper method but also aggravate The disease. Sleeping high-grade pillow, why also “pillow” on the market about the treatment of cervical spondylosis pillow a lot, sales are also good. Generally, there are two main kinds of visible in the market: one is “shaped pillow”. Both ends are high, low, curved; the other is a “memory pillow”, it will change shape according to the person’s sleeping position. After using a few times, it will automatically “remember” and make the shape fixed according to the individual’s sleeping posture. But in comparison, the price is much more expensive. As the shape of the “plastic pillow” is fixed, the softness and shape of the pillow can not be adjusted according to the needs of individuals. Therefore, in the use of “plastic pillow”, the time should not be too long, generally controlled in half an hour to 1 hour between the best. Pillows on the market are rarely equipped with instructions to indicate the use of time, some patients are often unaware of the situation all night to sleep on the pillow, it is easy to suffer from the “pillow”. In addition, there are buckwheat pillow, soybean pillow and other such hard and can not be shaped pillow, not only sleep on the hard, and the treatment of cervical spondylosis is not very useful. There are many elderly people suffering from cervical spondylosis, often filial children gullible advertising, bought a high-grade pillow for the elderly. In fact, buy a pillow does not have to be expensive, the key is the size, height, soft and hard, etc. suitable for you, is a “personalized” pillow. Pillow suitable for cervical spondylosis patients is required to a certain degree of softness and height. The most suitable pillow height, should be when the person is sleeping on his side, so that the height of the pillow and the height of one shoulder in line. In addition, use a large clean towel at home, roll it up, adjust it to the right height, pad it under the neck and sleep flat for half an hour. For the treatment of cervical spondylosis, not only the effect is obvious, but also to avoid the pillow, and does not require a large cost. Traction for cervical spondylosis For cervical spondylosis patients with nerve root inflammation is relatively suitable to do traction. Because through traction, not only can the nerve root space in the cervical spine be stretched, so that the pressure becomes smaller, thus relieving the inflammation. Generally speaking, the clinical manifestation of patients with nerve root inflammation is mostly numbness in the upper limbs and pain like electric shock. However, traction should not be done too much, too much may lead to muscle spasm. Usually a course of no more than 10 times will relieve the symptoms. Do not continue to do traction after relief, otherwise it is easy to aggravate the condition. In addition, buying a traction device at home and doing traction at home by yourself may also aggravate the condition because the traction is not done correctly. If you do traction in the hospital, the doctor will stretch the patient’s neck upwards by 10 degrees; if you do traction at home, the patient’s neck is often stretched vertically upwards. Once the direction is not right, it is also easy to strain the neck. It is recommended that when patients choose a traction device to treat cervical spondylosis, they should also choose a method suitable for their use under the guidance of a doctor. The so-called health necklace that claims to cure cervical spine disease has no scientific basis in clinical medicine. A certain strength of the magnetic field on the growth of the bone can play a role, but for the elimination of bone spurs, treatment of osteophytes, lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, and so on, does not work; on the contrary, if the magnetic field strength is too large, the human body will also cause some harm. Often sun mattress dry, elastic, “old” can be natural recovery Today, there are many water bed, magnetic bed and other products on the market. Because of its alleged benefits to the human bone, attracting many people to buy. Professor Zhan Hongsheng especially reminded everyone, in the prevention, treatment of cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis at the same time, can not blindly put all the hope in the material of these beds, and ignore the mattress itself “maintenance”. In fact, the mattress itself “maintenance” is also very important. Especially in the summer, the body is easy to sweat, so the mattress is easy to moisture. If not timely drying, will make the mattress has been in a damp state, sleep on this wet mattress every day, equal to “long sleep wet”, cold and wet invade the body, but aggravate the disease. Can be in a variety of mattresses and then put a layer of cotton wool pad quilt. This layer of cotton wool pad can be often dried, keep the mattress dry, but also has a certain degree of flexibility, some cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis and other diseases, it will naturally get good. Do not “sedentary” work, exercise to take into account now, many white-collar workers in the office during the day to sit on the computer is a whole day. Back home at night, but also sitting in front of the computer to work overtime, such as: sending and receiving e-mail, network meetings, MSN chat. Even if you take a break, you are sitting in front of the TV watching TV, watching DVDs and so on. Not only is life irregular, but there is also no time for exercise. Professor Wang Weili, director of orthopedics at Renji Hospital, said that prolonged sedentary, not only will cause muscle strain, in the long run, will also suffer from cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis, etc.. In fact, the “office family” as long as attention to strengthen the movement; daily office hours sitting for about 1 hour, get up and walk around; and then try to take some time to do exercises, running, to maintain a regular life, pay attention to rest.
