Prevention is one of the most important elements in preventing the development of cervical spondylosis. It is commonly believed that the intervertebral discs of the spine begin to degenerate after development into adulthood. In fact, the degeneration of each disc varies greatly from person to person. Prevention of cervical spondylosis should be based on both etiology and triggers to effectively reduce the incidence and prevent recurrence in cured patients. The cervical spine is a part of the spine, and prevention should be based on the spine as a whole. Infants and adolescents have the most opportunities for spinal trauma, so prevention of cervical spondylosis should begin in childhood. Strengthen the physical exercise to promote the soft tissue around the vertebrae strong and powerful, which helps to enhance the stability of the spine. Pay more attention to the prevention of trauma and correction of poor posture in work and life. In addition to trauma, common triggers of cervical spondylosis include pillow, cold, overexertion, forced posture work, poor posture and other diseases. The causative factors of cervical spondylosis are complex, but in general, they can be divided into internal (internal factors) and external (acute and chronic trauma), and the two can be causative to each other. Prevent acute head, neck and shoulder trauma, head and neck bruises, bruises and whiplash injuries. They are prone to cervical spine and its surrounding soft tissue injury, directly or indirectly cause cervical spondylosis, so should be actively prevented, once it occurs should be timely examination and thorough treatment. Some trauma is not easy to draw attention to, for example, dozing in a car, encounter emergency brakes, head suddenly back, can cause cervical whip injury; someone angry at random to twist the child’s ears, the child in order to defend and acute twisting neck, or with a slap strike on the back of the child’s head, etc., can cause cervical muscle and its surrounding soft tissue injury; infants and young children’s neck muscles are still underdeveloped, soft neck, such as premature pick up or hold the child’s posture is not Some adolescent sports do not know the essentials or do not pay attention to the preparatory activities before exercise, such as top bull, head stand, forward roll and ride the neck recreation, etc., can cause sports injuries. Prevention of trauma is a powerful measure to prevent degeneration of the spine. Once trauma occurs, in addition to treating soft tissue injuries, it is also necessary to promptly treat small joint misalignments of the cervical spine to prevent the development of cervical spondylosis. Correct the bad posture in life. Prevent chronic injury to the soft tissues of the neck and shoulder chronic strain, is the pathological basis for the occurrence of cervical spondylosis, bad posture in life is one of the main reasons for the formation of chronic strain, so correcting the bad posture in daily life is of great importance to the prevention of cervical spondylosis. For example, some people like to lie prone, in order to breathe, can only twist the head to the side, which will occur 1 ~ 4 cervical spine sprain. When the cervical axis is scoliotic and reaches a loss of compensation, symptoms such as dizziness, headache and eye, ear, nose and throat will occur. Due to damage to the normal mechanical imbalance of the cervical spine, will accelerate the degeneration of the intervertebral discs of the cervical vertebrae; someone usually posture is still good, but when reading novels, watching TV, the habit of leaning the head on the bed rails or sofa armrests, resulting in flexion of the neck and back twisting waist, etc., which will cause the spine intervertebral ligament damage to the section of the spine instability; women with children to sleep, often facing the child lying on his side, if the pillow does not fit the height of the body, will set the cervicothoracic vertebrae in forced Position, the formation of scoliosis, can lead to spondylosis. Reasonable pillow pillow is a protective tool for the cervical column. An adult, sleep 6 to 9 hours a day, that is, 1/4 to 1 ~ 3 of the time is spent in sleep (on the pillow), so the pillow must be suitable for the physiological requirements of the neck. After sleeping, the neck and shoulder muscles are completely relaxed, relying only on the elasticity of the intervertebral ligaments and joint capsule to maintain the normal relationship between the intervertebral structures, if the long-term use of unsuitable height pillow, so that the cervical vertebrae somewhere in the flexion is excessive, it will be here the ligaments, joint capsule stretch and injury, and cause cervical instability, joint misalignment, and then develop into cervical spondylosis. These patients often show symptoms such as neck discomfort, pillow, dizziness, headache or stubborn insomnia during sleep or when waking up in the morning after sleep. A reasonable pillow is very important for the treatment and prevention of cervical spondylosis, which cannot be replaced by medication, but should be applied on a long-term basis. Reasonable pillow must have two: scientific height and comfortable hardness. The height of the pillow, domestic and foreign scholars are very important, and put forward a variety of data. Our research believes that the pillow should not be too high, nor should it be too low. Most people take their own jaw and shoulder line (the distance from the angle of the jaw to the peak of the shoulder) or palm transverse diameter, as the height of the side or supine, this height is suitable for the vast majority of people; a few people need to appropriate high pillow, such as sphenoid development deformity, kissing spine, the pillow is too low can make the symptoms aggravated. Pillow should have appropriate elasticity or plasticity, not too hard, to wood cotton or grain crust is better, the application can form a saddle shape. Sleeping in a good position is very important for the health of the spine. Human trunk, shoulders and pelvic part of the transverse diameter is large, when lying on the side, the spine due to the influence of the mattress and bending, if long-term preference for a side lying position, the spine will gradually side-bending, the lighter wake up stiff back discomfort, the need to get up to resume normal activities, the heavier can develop into spondylosis. Sleep should be mainly supine, side lying as a supplement, to alternate between the left and right, the left and right knee slightly flexed when lying side to side. Prone, semi-prone, semi-supine or upper and lower body twisting and sleeping are bad sleeping posture, should be corrected in a timely manner. The head should be placed in the center of the pillow to prevent the pillow. Patients with spinal disorders should be boarded bed is appropriate, spring bed is not beneficial to the physiological balance of the spine. Prevent chronic strain injury some jobs require special posture or work in a forced position for a longer period of time. If not taken seriously, the committee is prone to chronic strain injury, and gradually develop into spondylosis. For example, long-term microscope personnel, pit operators, accountants, sewing and embroidery, dentists, aircraft mechanics, typists, telegraph operators, such as flexion of the neck, sloping neck, twisted neck, shrugging shoulder workers, as well as long-term ambulatory work of learning people, if you do not pay attention to the height of the table and chairs to suit their body, and do not pay attention to the balance of spare time exercise (the opposite of the work posture exercise, such as ambulatory workers for Stretching action), over time will occur in the shoulder and neck soft tissue load, not only easy to occur in the lumbar back soft tissue strain, and can further develop into cervical, thoracic, lumbar spine joint dysfunction. Prevention of chronic strain injury, in addition to work or spare time for balance exercise, but also according to the different age and physical conditions, choose certain sports, to enhance muscle strength and strengthen the body exercise. Sleep in a car, when the emergency brake, is very easy to cause cervical spine injury, so should try to prevent. Swimmers dive in shallow water, often causing serious cervical spine injuries, so diving should go to deep water. Prevention of elderly people over 50 years old, the spine has more degenerative changes, so more attention should be paid to the prevention of spondylosis. Pillow must be selected in accordance with personal specifications (health pillow is divided into king size, large, medium, small, extra small 5 specifications, men according to personal shirt number with the same number of pillow; women according to shirt number with a small pillow), whether at home or out, we should pay attention to the pillow; cold weather to pay attention to the neck and waist warmth, reduce shrinking neck, shrugging shoulders, bending and other bad posture, winter should pay attention to prevent neck and shoulder cold, especially Sleeping neck and shoulder to keep warm, to avoid cold stimulation and pillow, induced cervical spondylosis and frozen shoulder. Talking with people, watching TV, watching movies or reading books and newspapers, you should look at the front as much as possible and not over-twist the neck. In short, to maintain the normal physiological curvature of the spine, straight, to prevent cervical spondylosis induced by poor posture. In recent years, domestic and foreign research has proved that cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and chronic diseases that endanger the lives of the elderly are related to the spine, so as the prevention of spinal disease in the elderly, but also to prevent hypertension, coronary heart disease, arrhythmias, cerebrovascular disease and other effects. The most positive way to deal with diseases is to prevent them before they happen, especially in the current era of increasing therapeutic drugs, it is especially important to pay attention to preventive medical education.
