With the popularity of cell phones, people are using them for longer and longer periods of time, meeting with friends, eating, and before going to bed, cell phones will not leave their hands! What harm will cell phones bring to the human body has also been a topic of discussion! Will long time playing with cell phone lead to cervical spondylosis? What is the damage to the cervical spine caused by playing cell phone? Playing cell phones on the cervical spine harm 1, causing cervical strain Playing cell phones, the neck droop excessive, the body does not naturally bend, the neck is more and more leaning forward. This makes the human body neck sternocleidomastoid muscle and then constantly stretch forward, after a long time will be in a chronic state of congestion, and over time it is easy to compress the vertebral artery and cause chronic strain. 2, cervical spine arch normal people have cervical spine physiological curvature, if there is no physiological curvature, or even to the opposite direction of the curvature, known as the “arch”. “Cervical arch” is the most common pathological basis of cervical spondylosis. Lying high back watching TV and long time surfing the Internet, lying down to play cell phones and other bad habits, long time pulling the cervical spine, will lead to its curve convexity decreasing, straightening or even reverse arch. 3, pull the cervical spine muscles, accelerate cervical degeneration lying on the sofa with a cell phone to play, arm muscles have been pulled to the neck muscles, long time to keep this action, not only for the cervical spine muscles to produce pull, the formation of cervical ligaments, tendons and muscles tension, affecting the blood circulation in the neck. Similarly, it is also easy to lead to accelerate the degeneration of the cervical spine, leading to the onset of cervical spondylosis, for this imbalance of tension is the causative factor of cervical spondylosis to have a correct understanding, to avoid the onset of cervical spondylosis caused by this. 4, induced lumbar intervertebral disc herniation The lumbar spine has a normal physiological curvature, under normal circumstances, the lumbar spine of the force point is generally in the lumbar and sacral position. When semi-recumbent position, the back waist is suspended, the lumbar spine is in a folded state, and there is no support, the weight of the upper body is all pressed to the lumbar vertebrae on this point of stress. Standing, lumbar back muscles, ligaments will help the lumbar spine to support the weight, but semi-recumbent position muscles, ligaments are in a state of relaxation, the loss of the original fixed role, spinal deformation, physiological curvature straightened, over time will cause the connection of lumbar vertebrae of the disc bulging. 5, lumbar muscle strain Due to the semi-lying posture for too long, aggravate the burden of the lumbar spine, easily lead to lumbar muscle, ligament strain, resulting in aseptic inflammation, easy to suffer from chronic lumbar muscle strain, resulting in the triggering of chronic lumbar discomfort. From the above analysis, it is not difficult to see, long time playing cell phone on the cervical spine caused by the damage is not small, and even lead to cervical spondylosis! Cell phones bring convenience to people’s lives, there is no excuse, but if there is no degree of use, it will only add to their own troubles and bring harm to their bodies! How to develop good habits, do not do “low head”? 1, away from digital products for cell phones, tablet computers and other digital products, due to the lack of self-control, often into dependence, psychological can not be extricated, at the same time to the cervical spine to bring a heavy burden. Away from electronic products, go outdoors more close to nature, is the best treatment of cervical spine disease is also free of special drugs. 2, appropriate massage Massage has the effect of relaxing the tendons and channels, the role of blood circulation, it can effectively relieve the muscle tension of the neck and back muscles. Neck and back discomfort and even cervical spine activity is often limited with the neck and back muscles of high muscle tone. In addition, local hot compresses and hot water rinsing have a very good effect of soothing the neck and back muscle tension. 3, appropriate physical exercise Some sports programs can not only exercise physical fitness, but also exercise the neck muscles. For example, patients with cervical and lumbar spondylosis are suitable for swimming, especially breaststroke. Swimming is a whole-body exercise, when people swim, their upper limbs, neck, shoulders, back, abdomen and lower limbs of the muscles to participate in the movement, which can promote the blood circulation of the whole body muscles, the buoyancy in the water can relieve the tension of the whole body muscles. Breaststroke tilts the head and inhales the action, not only can effectively exercise the neck muscle strength, but also can move the cervical spine joints, promote the repair of the damaged muscles and ligaments.
