When it comes to cervical spondylosis, there are thousands of people who suffer from cervical spondylosis. In the past, we thought that cervical spondylosis was due to degenerative lesions of the cervical spine, that is, the cervical spine began to degenerate and proliferate, and it was easy to happen only when you were older. Now this argument does not hold water, the age of onset has been greatly advanced, those children also began to get cervical spondylosis, cervical spondylosis has become a disease of both young and old. Some experts estimate that the number of cervical spondylosis patients in China may have reached 150 million, which means that at least one in 10 people is a cervical spondylosis patient. Statistics show that about 25% of people around 50 years old suffer from cervical spondylosis, around 60 years old is 50%, and around 70 years old is almost 100%. Moreover, the incidence tends to be younger, and the incidence of cervical spondylosis among primary and secondary school students is rising rapidly. Four small movements to test the health of your cervical spine, a test of the health of the cervical spine, you can also try in front of the screen: 1, slowly tilt your head forward 45 ° (the standard is to see whether the chin can be attached to the body); 2, slowly tilt your head back 45 ° (the standard is to see whether the eyes can look directly at the ceiling); 3, slowly turn your head to the left 80 ° 4, and then turn to the right 80 °, to see whether you can freely complete. These four small movements if you can not successfully complete, or pain, that you have been possible cervical spondylosis “on the”, to prevent early. Remember: high pillows are no longer “worry-free” In recent years, the onset of cervical spondylosis has shown two main characteristics: first, the incidence is rising; second, the proportion of young people in the onset of the population is gradually increasing. Previously, the onset of the population is mostly concentrated in older people over 60 years old, but now 40 years old is guilty of neck pain and shoulder acidity are everywhere, and even some young people in their early 20s also cry out “head and neck pain”. Careful analysis of the occupational background of such patients, you will find that the vast majority of these people are eating “mental labor” bowl of rice, so cervical spondylosis is called “mental labor occupational disease”, to stay away from cervical spondylosis, active prevention is most important. Tips: 1, the height of the pillow is a matter of concern. Pillow too high, so that the neck forward flexion, resulting in tension in the neck muscles and ligaments, which can trigger or aggravate the disease, so in the choice of pillow, avoid high pillow, but should use not high and soft pillow, can just maintain the natural state of the cervical spine, so that the pillow and the physiological curve of the neck in a line. 2, to change the poor working posture, whether writing or operating in front of the computer, should be chest up, waist and thighs, thighs and calves to maintain an angle of 90 degrees. At the same time, the seat is adjusted to the right position, so that the display height and eyes equal. 3, prolonged sitting office is not good for health, it is best to get up every one to two hours to do some activities, do the neck health exercises, breathe fresh air. 4, to do a good job of keeping the neck warm, because the cold is easy to trigger muscle contraction and spasm, which is “worse” for people who already have discomfort in the neck.
