1, long hair can also lead to cervical spondylosis
First of all, let’s look at a news item that has been hotly debated not long ago: “Dalian woman with hair for 11 years suffers from cervical spondylosis”. The story is that a 32-year-old woman in Dalian, because her husband praised her long hair more beautiful, and insisted on 11 years only trim the tips of hair storage. In the past two years, she often felt dizzy and went to the hospital to check before she suffered from cervical spondylosis. The doctor said it was related to repeated, long-term, unilateral strain on the neck.
It turns out that women with long hair often have hair blocking their vision troubles, as hair are prone to slide to a certain side, and over time the action of shaking hair has become repeated, long-term, unilateral cervical spine movement.
Long-haired women at work or study is best to first tie up the hair, or use hair bands to fix the hair, gradually reduce and quit shaking the hair action.
2.Experiment: what low head does to the cervical spine
A study found that head down will lead to a surge in pressure on the cervical spine; the greater the bending angle of the neck, the greater the cervical spine load-bearing. The angle in daily life when playing with the phone with the head down is usually more than 45 degrees, or even up to 60 degrees. And
In the head down 45 degrees, the cervical spine will have to take up the “big job” of 22 kg; when the head down to 60 degrees, your cervical spine will have to bear the weight of 27 kg. This is not a small amount, it has even exceeded the average weight of a 7-year-old child!
The average weight of a child!
Compared with the hair that has been left for 11 years, 22 to 27 kg, seems so amazing. The damage caused to the cervical spine by lowering the head is obviously much more than long hair. Experts stress that the extra pressure on the cervical spine, if too much, will cause muscle strain and back pain, and once the disease continues to worsen, it will easily lead to cervical spondylosis or cervicitis.
3, even if you do not like to “head down and play with the phone”, do not be too happy too early
Long-term desk-bound employees, sedentary drivers, and geeks who spend their days indulging in computer games, online shopping or social networking are also “target groups” for cervical spondylosis.
Consciously improve their posture in life, avoid half lying half sitting posture, every buried head for about 30 minutes, do the head tilt action. In addition, should also actively participate in all kinds of exercise neck muscle sports, such as swimming, badminton, taijiquan, etc.
4, vigilance: cervical spondylosis “involved very wide”
Scholars at home and abroad have found in recent years that common middle-aged and elderly diseases, such as neurasthenia, abnormal blood pressure, coronary heart disease, cerebral ischemia, cardiac arrhythmia, etc. are related to cervical spondylosis.
If your body sends you the following signals, go to a regular hospital to have your cervical spine checked quickly.
Signal 1: Neck, shoulder and back pain
Signal 2: Frequent head weight and numbness, weakness of limbs
Signal 3: Frequent pillow fall
Signal 4: Digestive, respiratory and endocrine system disorders
Signal 5: Long-term snoring
Signal 6: Hearing loss, blurred vision
Signal 7: Headache, nausea, tinnitus
Signal 8: insomnia and dreaminess, memory loss
5, prevention: more “small movements”
Neck small action 1: stand with your feet at shoulder level, hands high, arms backward drawing circles, rotate to their maximum pressure, and then return to the original position, a total of 50 times.
Neck small action 2: back against the wall, both hands flat against the wall upward flexed, and then back down, back and forth 30 times.
Neck small action 3: eyes look directly at the ground, according to the clock hands 5 points, 6 points, 7 points, 10 points, 11 points, 12 points direction to move the head, and then the opposite direction to repeat once for a group, each time to do 10 groups.
Do not let the spine keep the same posture for a long time, do more “small movements” in life, you can help us prevent neck and shoulder disease.
