Can the “magic” titanium collar really treat cervical spondylosis? Nowadays, cervical spondylosis has become a common disease and high incidence of modern white-collar workers, the market has given rise to a variety of products claiming to cure cervical spondylosis is also increasingly popular, such as health pillows, “magic” titanium collar, etc. Titanium collar is really as “magical” as advertised by the business Is it? Is it really able to treat cervical spondylosis? ”Magic” titanium collar favored by white-collar Recently, a titanium collar claimed to have a “magical” effect, can relieve fatigue and subhealth, prevent computer and cell phone radiation, and can even quickly treat cervical spondylosis, sciatica, arthritis and premenstrual syndrome The city’s major supermarkets and shopping malls in the bottom of the hot hot sale, by the public’s wide attention. I saw in the Carrefour supermarket on Baiji Road, sales staff are holding a brand of “magic” titanium collar to the customer, claiming that the product is mainly made of medical silicone, containing 99.99% high-purity titanium, is 16 times the energy of ordinary titanium necklace, high concentration of negative ions can relieve body fatigue, accelerate blood circulation, and Treatment of cervical spondylosis caused by insufficient blood supply to the brain, eliminate dizziness, dizziness, upper limb numbness and other symptoms. The original price of 398 yuan / strip, the current price of 198 yuan / strip. Office white-collar Ms. Li listened to the salesperson’s introduction and was very impressed. She told me that her work all day with the computer, long-term ambulatory work, suffering from cervical spondylosis has been 3 years. Usually always appear stiff neck, stiffness, pain, dizziness, nausea, upper limb numbness and other symptoms, this titanium collar is in line with their various symptoms, but whether there is really such a “magical” effect, she expressed doubts. But under the strong attack of the sales staff, Ms. Li finally chose to buy. It is observed that most of the consumers who come to buy are white-collar people with a high level of education. The idea that there is a miraculous effect is mostly psychological implication in the blame Why do some consumers think that the “magic” titanium collar has a curative effect? Or know that there is no magical effect, but still choose to buy it? Director Wang Yongqing said, titanium is not a special material, it is a conventional orthopedic built-in material, in the medical commonly used titanium to produce orthopedic surgery with steel nails, plates and other body built-in, as a tool to fix fractures, it is used in the human body because of the stable nature of titanium, non-magnetic, non-radioactive. However, it is advertised as a metal object that can treat cervical spondylosis, sciatica, arthritis and other diseases, and there is no relevant medical conclusion. And pure titanium is the original metal, so businesses promote the efficacy of the “magic” titanium collar to treat cervical spondylosis, consumers should not blindly gullible. Some people wear titanium collar after feeling “effective”, in fact, is the role of the consumer’s own psychological implication at play, after wearing the collar, with effective expectations of people will generally feel the effect. Some people buy collars, is a herd mentality. Director Wang Yongqing said that cervical spondylosis is mainly divided into neurogenic, spinal cord, vertebral artery and mixed types, many white-collar workers tend to treat cervical spondylosis as a minor problem, not knowing that if allowed to develop, serious disability, especially the spinal cord cervical spondylosis is more common, the consequences are more serious. This cervical spondylosis is caused by cervical disc degeneration and herniation, ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, and posterior compression of the spinal cord, which is the cervical spondylosis with the highest disability rate, and serious patients may be paralyzed at a high level and unable to take care of themselves. Therefore, Director Wang reminds that once symptoms such as numbness, weakness, stupidity, inflexibility in writing and inadmissibility of typing and keyboarding appear, you should go to the hospital for regular examination and treatment in a timely manner. Good lifestyle can prevent cervical spondylosis Director Wang Yongqing said that bad habits are the culprit of cervical spondylosis. If you choose an unprofessional medical institution massage or massage, but will bring cervical spine damage, easy to cause acute cervical spine injury. For patients with cervical spondylosis that seriously affects their work and life, they should also go to a regular hospital in time to receive professional and correct orthopedic treatment. Director Wang said that white-collar workers should change their bad habits in life to prevent cervical spondylosis, do not work for a long time with their heads down, and often relax in between work. When working at a desk, using a computer, every hour must stand up and take a break, move your shoulders and neck, and do chest expansion. You can try to do the following activities in between your usual work: first, slowly tilt your head back as far as possible, maintain it for two or three seconds after tilting it to the maximum angle, then slowly reset it, then slowly turn your head to the left, reset it and then slowly turn it to the right. Such action can be repeated 5 to 10 times, and a day to do three or four times can play a role in relaxing the muscles. After that, you can also cross your arms after holding the back of the head, head backward force, while the hands to hold the head, which can train the strength of the neck muscles, such action each time to do 10 to 20 times, the best to repeat three or four times a day. You can also use a large bag of heated salt grains, hot compress neck discomfort, but be careful not to burn the skin; or make a round spindle-shaped pillow with buckwheat bark, sleep at night in the middle of the pillow supine, side-lying pillow on both sides, not only can relax the neck muscles, but also play a relative braking and fixing role.
