Avoid cold and dampness.
The human spine is the most concentrated part of Yang, the Governor’s vein for the Yang will, the bladder meridian for the internal organs of the person’s Yang pass parts, only sufficient Yang to ensure the flexibility of our spinal system of movement and the formation of full support for the body. The evil of cold and damp has always been the natural enemy of Yang, and if wind and evil entangled together to form wind, cold and damp three gas mixed to the combined disease, then our body’s Yang Qi to form a fatal injury. The so-called “cold main collection lead”, “cold win then bone pain and meat rot”, feel cold evil often afraid of cold pain; “dampness heavy turbid sticky”, feel damp evil often heavy pain such as wrap, after a long time difficult to heal; “The wind is good at moving several changes”, mixed with the wind evil is often painful to change around, sometimes pain when not pain.
The right thing to do is to prevent cold and keep warm everywhere, and avoid cold and dampness carefully. Usually clothes should try to wear a little more, at least to ensure that the neck and lumbar vertebrae, knee joints, navel and other important parts do not long exposed to the wind, cold and damp. Don’t forget to put a scarf around your neck when you go out, you can also tie a scarf in the summer to keep warm and look good, killing two birds with one stone. Winter we will keep warm without too much advice, summer whether at home or in the unit, the temperature of the air conditioner should never be lower than 26 ° and definitely not blowing directly on their own, take the bus or subway must also remember to turn off the wind on their own. Every day home can do a spinal hot compress or moxibustion is the best thing. Chinese medicine believes that “movement can produce Yang”, exercise is the best way to avoid the invasion of cold and damp evil in the body, exercise to have modern oxygen exercise and Chinese medicine health exercise, avoid too intense competitive sports, so as to achieve the purpose of a slight sweat to produce Yang.
Standing posture such as pine.
Many people like to stand in a resting posture or hook back waist, or even abdominal front, that only this is the most comfortable, in fact, this just shows that their spine has problems, someone will say that almost everyone now likes to stand in a resting posture, does everyone’s spine have problems? Good, if this is true enough to say that everyone’s spine has problems, but the problem is large and small, the American Chiropractic Association has publicly declared that everyone in their lifetime is often prone to spinal joint misalignment, so it is recommended that the top of the baby from birth on its spine adjustment, until the old, although there is a certain marketing component, but it also shows that everyone in their lives are To occur spinal misalignment problems, if you can adjust the timely is not to cause disease, otherwise there is a risk of serious neck and back pain and other diseases. Correcting your daily standing posture is one of the easiest ways to do so.
The correct standing posture is when you stand, the back of your head, back, back hip and heel should be in a vertical line, if you can not understand this posture, you can stand with your feet slightly apart about the same width as your shoulders against the wall, so that the back of your head, back, back hip and heel against the wall, and then keep the posture step forward, is your correct standing posture. General spinal misalignment of people at first to maintain this posture will be more difficult, you need to adjust the state of the body with breathing, but also appropriate chest and abdomen, jaw slightly tucked so that their forehead and chin basically in a vertical line. If after a period of adaptation is still very hard or even painful, it means that your spinal misalignment is more serious, you should first find a doctor to adjust the spine.
Sitting like a bell.
Leaning on the bed to read or watch TV, half leaning on the sofa crossed legs to enjoy the music, dozing on the table, or just sitting on the front of the chair to listen to the leadership lecture, these positions look either very comfortable or very comfortable or very respectful, but for the spine are a harm. Studies have found that the human body in a sitting position is the pressure on the spine is the largest, if the posture is incorrect then invariably added more burden on the original basis, so that the cervical and lumbar spine is overwhelmed, sooner or later is to strike.
Correct sitting posture is to sit in front of the choice of height adjustable back chair and writing desk (if you need to office or study), the whole person’s hips and back all sit full tight against the back chair, and keep the lower legs and the ground, knee and hip joints are vertical at an angle of 90 °, if you feel that the backrest support is not enough to add a cushion behind the waist to ensure that the entire waist back all leaning against the back chair, keep the jaw slightly closed state. If you need to study or office, you should adjust the height of the desktop and chair surface to ensure that the elbow joint is vertical at an angle of 90 °, the shoulder joint is naturally lowered, the wrist joint is naturally straight. If you use a computer should keep the top height of the monitor and eyes in the same plane.
Sleeping shape like a bow: Chinese medicine speaks of “side dragon lying tiger back stand corpse”, that no matter what kind of posture, as long as the sleep is comfortable is a good posture, and because the body is always in constant change of posture during sleep, it is difficult to maintain a fixed posture. But for the prevention of spinal diseases, the sleep posture is still very careful, which is the most prone position is the most important, the biggest damage is the cervical spine, because when people are prone to avoid bed surface pressure on the oral cavity nasal cavity leading to asphyxiation, the natural head and face will be biased to one side, over time caused by the cervical spine misalignment and the typical symptoms of cervical spondylosis.
The best sleeping position for cervical spondylosis patients is supine, with a suitable pillow to maintain the normal physiological curvature of the cervical spine. The best sleeping position for patients with lumbar spondylosis is lateral, it does not matter to which side, but it is best not always fixed side to a side, it is best that often alternate between left and right side lying, side lying requires hip flexion and knee flexion to maintain a baby-like natural flexion state. If you are unfortunate enough to have both cervical spondylosis and lumbar spine pain, then you can choose to supine position in the knee under the appropriate pillow to keep the knee in a natural flexion position, then the pressure of the lumbar area increased because of supine is effectively dispersed.
Sleeping on a hard bed.
The hardness of the bed is really too important for the spine, people used to buy that very poor quality Simmons in order to greed for a moment of comfort, either all sponge or spring is very little, people sleep on the whole body all trapped, a night of sleep down the back pain is very uncomfortable.
Now the good Simmons to much better, very fine workmanship, very many springs, can form an effective support for all parts of the body. There are more popular memory mattress, the brand is good to do the pressure test is also very good, can form an effective dispersion of the body’s gravity. We generally recommend the better quality of the brown mattress bed or a good elasticity of the board bed, after adding a mattress on top is the best softness, both to ensure the comfort of sleeping and will not hurt our spinal system, generally speaking, the bed next to sleep to the hard side, thin people sleep on the soft side of the bed.
Pad science pillow.
Pillow for cervical spondylosis patients is the most important, it accompanies us for the longest time, almost 1/3 of our life to accompany the cervical spine. Influenced by the traditional “high pillow” thinking, most of us sleep on the pillow is always on the high side, is a major factor leading to our cervical spondylosis, many people also appear hunchback phenomenon. Or some patients after hearing that the high pillow is not good for the cervical spine and go to the other extreme, do not pad the pillow, which is also the wrong approach, will cause the cervical spine no support, resulting in cervical curvature disappeared and lead to cervical spondylosis.
Lie in bed do not see.
Lie in bed to watch TV or read a book when very bad habits, not only destroy the bedroom, living room and study different functional partition, but also on us to remember to form a serious injury, because this lying in bed half-lying posture on the cervical thoracic lumbar vertebrae are formed a lot of pressure and destructive force, over time developed into cervical lumbar pain.
The only function of the bed is to sleep and rest, so unless absolutely necessary, do not lie in bed to read or watch TV, in the need to read or watch TV when we try to study or living room to “sit upright” or leisurely.
Sofa do not sleep: home from work is too tired or drunk directly on the sofa to see the TV, unconsciously head on the armrest of the sofa into the sweet dream, but first thing in the morning suddenly found tight neck can not move, the pain is intense, which is something we often encounter in the clinic, do not want to covet a moment of saving but brought a big injury to the cervical spine, one or two times does not matter, if always so eventually always to The development of irreversible cervical spondylosis.
The function of the sofa is to sit, not sleep, so when you feel tired, you must wash clean and honestly lie down on the bed, one side brings unnecessary pain, regret is too late.
Do not drive to labor:
There are cars naturally convenient a lot, but fatigue driving also brought us a great deal of damage to the lumbar spine, especially on the highway or a lot of cars need to focus on a high degree of attention, our lumbar spine always have to fight with a variety of pain and discomfort, this is not even, if the over fatigue and then a sharp brakes, resulting in our cervical spine whipping injury, that is not a joke, enough pain in your life.
The correct driving method is to adjust the seat to our most suitable position, to hand steering wheel and foot on the clutch, brake and gas pedal are not effort, if necessary, installed in the seat cushion and a small round pillow, in order to facilitate us to do in between driving proper relaxation and rest by the waist. Do not drive for more than an hour at a time, then get out of the car to take a break, breathe fresh air and drink water to the bathroom is a good choice, absolutely forbidden to drive alone more than 4 hours of fatigue. In the car start or emergency braking should be highly concentrated, so that the cervical spine is fully prepared to prevent whiplash injury.
