Why is there a high incidence of cervical and lumbar spondylosis in winter?

Many cervical and lumbar spondylosis patients are afraid of winter, because with the decreasing temperature, the whole body bones and joints will be wind pain, the colder the weather, the more intense the pain. If cervical and lumbar spondylosis patients are not treated in winter and choose to “snail”, it is likely to miss the best time for treatment, and the possibility of suffering in the spring of next year will be even greater. Cervical and lumbar spondylosis treatment in winter has a medical basis On the one hand, the temperature is lower in autumn and winter, the wind and cold take advantage of the deficiency, which in itself will affect the body’s functions, the person’s ability to move, the ability to resist disease will also decline. On the other hand, when the cervical and lumbar spine is cold, the local soft tissue contraction spasm, muscle stiffness and atrophy, resulting in paraspinal nerve compression and local blood circulation disorders, poor supply, and thus produce symptoms such as pain, stiffness, and weakness. The intrinsic biomechanical balance of the spine is disrupted, and compensatory mechanisms are generated in the relevant parts of the spine, inducing various problems, causing relapses in patients with lumbar spondylosis, and some potential problems with lumbar spondylosis also emerge. The warm weather in the spring and summer, the lumbar spine problems will be moderated is due to the fact that at this time the body’s ability to move and metabolism is relatively strong, the back muscles, ligaments and joints are also in a relaxed and tense state, the protection of the spine is relatively much in place. The correct treatment in winter is the key Because of the cold weather in autumn and winter, both indoors and outdoors should pay attention to the waist warmth, timely clothing, so as not to take advantage of the wind and cold, causing the waist and surrounding muscles and ligaments stiffening and hardening, hypertrophy calcification, intervertebral disc atrophy and degeneration. At the same time to pay attention to supplemental nutrition, timely supplemental protein, especially collagen intake, reasonable nutrition can improve the body’s function, to resist the invasion of disease. Eat more milk, eggs, soy products, vegetables and fruits. In addition, when the weather is cold, many people love to nest in the nest watching TV, half lying posture easy on the lumbar spine muscle burden, over time, easy to cause muscle strain. The right amount of exercise and health care is conducive to improving inflammation, for people who do not have lumbar spine problems, can prevent the occurrence of disease. Reminder: If it is the acute onset of symptoms, local rest is required, and it is not suitable for increased exercise stimulation. Warm up fully before exercise, the frequency and amplitude of exercise should not be too large, and pay attention to warmth before and after exercise to prevent the waist from getting cold. Avoid prolonged sitting and standing. People who work in a sitting position for a long time, easy to waist fatigue, so after sitting and standing for a long time to pay attention to the activities of the waist, you can do interval exercises, classroom exercises, etc.. In addition, a car should constantly adjust their sitting posture when driving, so that they are in a comfortable state, especially the back of the seat should be against their waist, so that the lumbar muscles are supported. Pay attention to sleep posture. The ideal sleeping position should keep the waist in a natural physiological curvature. When lying on your back, you can put a soft pillow under both lower limbs so that both hips and knees are flexed. When lying on your side, flex both hips and both knees to eliminate lumbar back extension.
