Cervical spondylosis is a common clinical disease, which used to be seen in middle-aged and elderly people but has a tendency to become younger in recent years; it used to be an occupational disease for accountants and teachers, but now it is a common disease in offices. The main symptom of cervical spondylosis is painful stagnation in the neck accompanied by painful numbness of the upper limbs, but modern medical research shows that cervical spondylosis also produces symptoms such as headache, dizziness, tinnitus, eye swelling, chest tightness and shortness of breath, and weakness of the limbs. There are many ways to treat cervical spondylosis, such as tui na, acupuncture, traction, physical therapy, local seal, drugs, etc., and surgery, all of which can have a good effect. However, if the patient does not cooperate with the treatment and does not pay attention to self-maintenance and functional exercise, it will delay the disease and make it easy to relapse. A, maintenance 1, with the pillow appropriate One third of life is spent in bed, the pillow height soft and hard has a direct impact on the cervical spine, the best pillow should be able to support the physiological curve of the cervical spine, and keep the cervical spine straight. Pillow should be elastic, pillow core to wood cotton, hollow high elastic cotton or grain bark shell is appropriate. Like supine, the height of the pillow is about 5 cm (after the height of pressure); like side lying, the height of about 10 cm. Supine position, the lower edge of the pillow is best padded in the upper edge of the shoulder blades, not to make the neck off the empty. In fact, the real name of the pillow should be called “pillow neck”. Pillow is not suitable, often causing the pillow, repeated pillow is often a harbinger of cervical spondylosis, to timely diagnosis and treatment; another thing to note is the pillow seat, pillow seat to the grass is better, bamboo mat one is too cool, two is too hard, it is best not to use. 2, neck warming cold stimulation of the neck will cause muscle vascular spasm, aggravating the pain of the neck plate. In the autumn and winter, it is best to wear high-collared clothes; the weather is a little hot, and care should be taken to prevent the neck and shoulders from getting cold when sleeping at night; in the hot season, the air conditioning temperature should not be too low. 3, correct posture The main cause of cervical spondylosis is the incorrect posture of work and study, good posture can reduce strain and avoid injury. Head down for too long, so that muscle fatigue, cervical disc aging, and chronic strain injury, will be secondary to a series of symptoms. The best posture is to keep the neck straight, slightly leaning forward, do not twist, tilt; work for more than an hour, should rest a few minutes, some neck exercises or massage; should not lean on the head of the bed or sofa armrest to read, watch TV. 4, avoid injury Neck injury can also trigger the disease, in addition to pay attention to posture, take fast transportation, encounter emergency brakes, head forward, “whip-like” injury will occur, therefore, pay attention to protect themselves, do not doze off in the car, sit in the seat can be appropriate to twist the body, side forward; sports competition more to Avoid cervical spine injury; cervical spine to reduce the activities of acute attacks of cervical spondylosis, especially to avoid rapid head turning, if necessary, with a neck brace protection. Exercise The exercise of the cervical spine should be cautious, avoiding purposeless rapid rotation or swaying, especially in the acute stage of cervical spondylosis, vertebral artery cervical spondylosis or spinal cord cervical spondylosis. The methods we recommend are simple and easy to implement, but they must be persistent in order to achieve the purpose of disease prevention and treatment. 1, head neutral position, forward flexion to the limit, back to neutral position; back extension to the limit, back to neutral position; left rotation to the limit, back to neutral position; right rotation to the limit, back to neutral position; left flexion to the limit, back to neutral position; right flexion to the limit, back to neutral position. The movement should be slow and slightly hard. Exercise, some patients can feel the ringing in the neck, if accompanied by pain, should reduce the number of exercises or stop exercise; if there is no pain, you can continue to exercise. 2, the head in a neutral position, hands crossed fingers held in the back of the neck, the head to do a slow forward flexion and backward movement, at the same time, the hands force against the movement of the head, in order to exercise the muscle strength of the back side of the cervical spine.
