How to prevent cervical spondylosis?

  Cervical spondylosis has become a veritable white-collar occupational disease due to long-term chronic strain injury. Please follow us to do a test: tilt your head back gently, then try your best to turn to the left, and then to the right, you will definitely have a sore, stiff feeling.  It is never better to mend than to save for a rainy day. Instead of waiting until the cervical spine is injured, and then to receive long-term tedious treatment, it is better to pre-empt and take the initiative, so that the cervical spine is carefully taken care of by us and no accidents occur.  Four questions about the cervical spine: 1. What is cervical spondylosis?  Cervical spondylosis is a common and prevalent disease in clinical practice. Cervical spondylosis is a series of complex syndromes caused by degeneration of the cervical intervertebral disc causing injury to the cervical spine bone joints, cartilage and its surrounding ligaments, muscles and fascia and their secondary changes, such as joint hyperplasia and narrowing of the vertebral space, which stimulate or compress the nerve roots, spinal cord, vertebral artery, sympathetic nerve and its surrounding tissues.  2.The causes of cervical spondylosis?  Age factor: people are like a machine, with age, the wear and tear of the tissues and organs of the body increases; trauma; improper sleep posture; improper work posture; repeatedly falling pillow; bone and joint deformity.  3.How many types of cervical spondylosis are clinically classified?  Cervical spondylosis is divided into cervical, radicular, spinal cord, vertebral artery, sympathetic nerve and mixed types according to clinical manifestations.  4.Can cervical spondylosis be prevented and recurrence be prevented?  The prevalent age of cervical spondylosis is middle-aged and old, which shows its late onset, but the pathological basis leading to its degenerative changes is a chronic aging process. In this process, cervical spondylosis can be prevented if preventive measures are actively taken to eliminate the pathological pitfalls or control its progress. And prevention must be early, starting from adolescence, be persistent and persist for years or even decades.  Causes: 1, poor sleeping posture 1/3 of a person’s life is spent in bed, lying in bed should make the lumbar muscles and intervertebral discs in a natural relaxed state. It is recommended to choose a hard bed or put a hard Simmons and other flexible sleeper on a wooden board. In addition, the posture of sleeping on the side, the lower extremities slightly bent for good; if you sleep like supine position, you can also be a pillow under the knee, which can also keep the lower extremities slightly bent.  2, high pillows have worries too high pillow in addition to neck diseases such as fallen pillow, the lumbar spine also has a certain degree of impact. Pillow is the main tool to maintain the body in the recumbent position, the natural physiological curve of the cervical and lumbar spine, if we use the pillow is too high, it is easy to cause excessive tension and fatigue of the cervical spine, soft tissue of the neck. Over time will also cause the cervical spine physiological curvature straightening, which affects the mechanical balance of the spine, so that the lumbar back is also in a state of high tension, which leads to compensatory physiological protrusion of the lumbar spine straightening or disappearance, lumbar soft tissue strain.  3, sedentary human body in the forward leaning 20 degrees when sitting, lumbar intervertebral disc pressure is the largest. This is exactly the posture we often maintain when working in front of the computer, surfing the Internet, playing games. Long-term so sitting, lumbar spine pressure overall sinking shortened, the body’s central axis followed by the backward shift, so that the intervertebral disc protrudes backward.
