Hello, I am glad to answer your question. Cervical spondylosis has become a common and frequent disease, and it is not suitable to be cured and easy to recur. Here is to tell you what patients with cervical spondylosis usually have to pay attention to?

First of all, cervical spondylosis is a chronic aseptic disease, mainly due to long-term posture is not correct, such as long-term low head work, low head to play the computer, play cell phones, play games, etc., will lead to cervical spine long-term in a state of continuous tension stimulation, muscle ligament began to appear exudation, degeneration, adhesion, contracture, scarring, sclerosis, calcification, ossification, and so on a series of changes, and finally led to the formation of cervical spondylosis. Formation of cervical spondylosis.

Similarly, if long-term sleep pillow high, the pillow will also lead to the occurrence of cervical spondylosis because everyone has 1/3 of the time every day will be in a sleep state, if because of the pillow has a problem, such as the pillow is too high, will lead to the cervical spine of the muscle ligament fascia in a high-intensity tension, began to appear on a series of changes, and finally led to the cervical spine soreness and discomfort, headache and dizziness, and so on, a series of clinical manifestations.

There is also a point that so many people will have this bad posture, like half lying half lying, always like to lean on the head of the bed, the sofa, look at the phone to play games, this posture is in fact the most injurious to the cervical spine, which does not belong to a natural state of bowing the head, belongs to a kind of forced violence, pulling the cervical vertebrae must pay attention to, to avoid this kind of this posture.

In this way, the considerations that lead to the formation of whiplash and the prevention of its attachment and aggravation are the following!

First, avoid prolonged low head, play cell phone, play games, look at the computer, it is best to move the cervical spine about half an hour. If the work needs, the computer can be too high to the line of sight on the level of 10 - 15 degrees is best.

Second, avoid pillow high pillow, must choose a healthy cervical health pillow, conform to the physiological curvature of the cervical spine.

Third, avoid half lying half lying, do not lean on the bed head sofa. This habit is the most injurious to the cervical spine, must pay attention to.

Fourth, to avoid the cervical spine cold, good cervical spine good warm measures to avoid the summer air conditioning fan directly to the cervical spine blowing cool air.

Fifth, often do cervical spine health exercises, often physical exercise, for example, swimming, playing badminton.

Sixth, avoid frequent cervical fallout, which can lead to aggravation of cervical muscle ligament strain.

Seventh, if the problem occurs, it is important to make timely adjustments, such as massage, physical therapy, acupuncture and moxibustion adjustments and so on, to avoid aggravation of the condition.

Dr. Liu talks about bones and tendons 🎤What people with cervical spondylosis should pay attention to in general 🎤

Many people's neck difficulties are caused by cervical spondylosis, and it will be found in outpatient clinics that the high incidence of cervical spondylosis is mainly among people who work with their heads down. Especially with the popularization of smartphones, people can surf the Internet anytime and anywhere with their heads down. Everywhere you look, you will see people with their heads down. Even before going to bed lying down to look at the cell phone for a while. All of these will cause the onset of cervical spondylosis. For cervical spondylosis in addition to formal treatment, what should we pay attention to in daily life? The following will give you some advice.

What is cervical spondylosis?

Cervical spondylosis refers to a series of symptoms and signs caused by irritation or compression of nerves, spinal cord, blood vessels and other adjacent tissues on the basis of degenerative changes in the cervical intervertebral discs secondary to herniated discs, degeneration of intervertebral joints, hypertrophy of the soft tissues, osteophytes, and cervical spine straightening. In layman's terms, it means that there are tissues in the cervical spine that are compressing the nerves and blood vessels.

Cervical spondylosis is a general term which is categorized into seven types.1. Cervical cervical spondylosis.2. Nerve root cervical spondylosis.3. Spinal cord cervical spondylosis.4. Vertebral artery cervical spondylosis.5. Sympathetic cervical spondylosis.6. Esophageal compression cervical spondylosis.7. Mixed cervical spondylosis.

Symptoms of cervical spondylosis also vary depending on the type, the main ones being dizziness, nausea, neck pain and discomfort, numbness and weakness of the upper limbs, unsteady walking, unsteady holding, difficulty in swallowing, and various other conditions.

Prevention of cervical spondylosis

For the treatment of cervical spondylosis, the doctor will give a detailed treatment plan, which varies from person to person. I won't overstate it here. The following is mainly about how to prevent it from happening.

1. Acquire knowledge about cervical spondylosis and adjust your mind to face it positively. Check a lot of books and learn the knowledge. The purpose of doing this is to keep us from being deceived by the miracle cure.

2. Correct poor working posture. The cervical spine is under the greatest pressure when working with the head down, and it is easy for degeneration to occur, and then further develop into cervical spondylosis. Maintain a good posture at work, and if you can only bow your head, you should move your neck at regular intervals.

3. Improve and adjust sleep posture. One third of a person's life is spent sleeping. If the sleeping posture is not correct, it is easy to cause and aggravate cervical spondylosis. It includes the height and softness of the pillow, the sleeping position and the choice of bed. The affected position should be such that the whole spine is in natural curvature, the hips and knees are naturally flexed, and the whole body muscles are relaxed.

4. Strengthen neck muscle exercise. Cervical vertebrae rely on muscles to maintain its stability, strong muscles can promote blood circulation to slow down the rate of degeneration, and can protect the cervical spine from trauma. You can do neck exercises.

5. Keep your neck warm. Don't let your neck get cold because cold stimulates vasoconstriction and can slow down blood circulation.

6. Protect the cervical spine from injury. Especially in patients with cervical spinal stenosis, traumatic injuries such as braking in a car can easily cause whiplash-like injuries. Numbness and pain in the upper limbs, or even paraplegia.

These methods are simple, but can significantly reduce the occurrence of whiplash or alleviate the symptoms. However, you have to insist on it, not a day or two to see the presentation. I hope these can bring help to everyone.

Nowadays, "whiplash" seems to be more and more common, and there is a clear trend of "lower age" and "younger age". With the popularity of smartphones, almost everyone has experienced neck discomfort, and some are even so severe that it affects their lives.

So, back to the question of the subject:

What do we need to be aware of in our lives in order to prevent whiplash, or if we already have it?

1. Remember that "looking up is good, looking down is bad".

This is very clear and very important, whiplash or no whiplash, always keep this in mind and tilt your head up as much as possible and down as little as possible.

Simply put: the physiological curvature of our cervical spine determines that tilting the head is good to increase the curvature, and lowering the head is bad to make the curvature disappear. Therefore, you will see that the most common manifestation of cervical spondylosis on radiographs is "loss of cervical curvature" or even "reverse bowing".

With this principle in mind, everything is simpler, such as minimizing head bowing, which means playing with cell phones as little as possible, working at the desk as little as possible, adjusting the height of computer monitors and desks and chairs to ensure that you don't bow your head, etc.

2. Remember that "regular activity is good, but inactivity is bad".

For the cervical spine, there are two best postures. In addition to "tilting the head" as mentioned earlier, the second best posture is "changing the posture frequently". The same goes for the lumbar spine.

In order to maintain the position of the head, the muscles of the neck need to be continuously contracted to maintain a certain level of tension so that our 'head' can be held in place. This is fine for short periods of time, but if the head and neck remain immobile in one position for a long period of time, it means that the muscles of the neck are constantly contracting with tension all the time. This can become strained and inflamed, manifesting itself in neck and shoulder ummm discomfort. The vast majority of whiplash in young people happens this way in the beginning.

Therefore, generally half an hour to move the neck, especially to the rear side stretch stretch, to maintain the health of the cervical spine muscles, only then the cervical spine can be stabilized, the cervical disc is not easy to protrude, the spinal canal is not easy to proliferate narrowing.

3. Keep in mind that "neck braces should not be worn for long periods of time".

"Neck brace" is an important measure to immobilize the neck to relieve inflammation and pain during the acute pain stage of cervical spondylosis. However, it must be kept in mind that it should not be worn for a long period of time, otherwise it will cause atrophy of neck muscles and aggravate the instability of cervical spine. The same goes for the lumbar spine.

4、The condition has a tendency to aggravate, timely consultation and review

If you experience localized discomfort in your neck (cervical spondylosis), or if you experience pain or numbness in your arms or hands, or if you experience walking on your lower extremities as if you were stepping on cotton, or even if you experience abnormal urination or defecation, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible. Because the condition has worsened

Whether it is outpatient clinic or ward, or friends and relatives, people often ask me what to pay attention to when suffering from cervical spondylosis, which shows that there are still many people around us who suffer from cervical spondylosis. I think it may be due to the prosperity of electronic technology, in normal times, and even when walking and eating, we often see some people with their heads down.

Cervical spondylosis refers to the corresponding symptoms and signs of damage to the spinal cord, nerves, and blood vessels caused by cervical intervertebral disc degeneration, and secondary degeneration of the intervertebral joints. Its clinical manifestations are diversified, and the symptoms are different depending on the type. Neck and shoulder pain is common, aggravated in a short period of time and radiating to the upper limbs, and may be accompanied by numbness of the skin, inflexible movement of the fingers and long-term dizziness.

Patients with cervical spondylosis need to pay attention to the following points in their normal life:

1, self-care therapy: long-term ambulatory workers at work need to regularly change posture, for the neck gentle activities and upper limb movement, massage the neck muscles, conditions can also be regularly go to massage relaxation, to promote local blood circulation, thus regulating the neck and shoulder muscle relaxation, relieve fatigue. Choose a flat bed to sleep, pillow height is moderate, try not to let the head overstretch or overflexion.

2, diet: due to cervical spondylosis is caused by vertebral hyperplasia, bone degeneration and osteoporosis. Therefore, in the usual diet, appropriate supplementation of protein, vitamin C and vitamin E and so on.

3, quit bad habits: has suffered from cervical spondylosis friends, cervical spine again injury is undoubtedly worse, usually pay attention to avoid the neck and shoulders of the violent twisting or straining, develop good sleeping habits and posture, choose the right pillow to avoid pillow aggravation of cervical spondylosis. Pay attention to the warmth of the neck, try not to be in the fan, air conditioning cold air and humid environment for a long time, because the high temperature difference is also one of the main causes of cervical spondylosis.

4, do relieve neck pain gymnastics: mainly at home or at work usually feel tired can be resolved on the spot, such as doing shoulder neck, swinging movements, the amplitude should not be too large, and do not recommend twisting the "click" sound, so that although easy for a time, but it will aggravate osteophytes.

5, massage: can improve local blood circulation, the technique should be gentle, the number of times should not be too much, otherwise it is counterproductive. By non-professionals for the cervical pulling and stretching, push plate and the cervical dislocation resulting in quadriplegia cases can be seen from time to time.

We hope that the above suggestions will be helpful to those who have cervical spondylosis to avoid being plagued by it.

There are many types of cervical spondylosis, the most common of which are nerve root cervical spondylosis and spinal cord cervical spondylosis. It mainly occurs in people over 40 years of age, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.4 to 1.

The cervical spine has seven sections in total, and there is an intervertebral disc structure between each adjacent two vertebrae. Various factors lead to the degeneration and protrusion of the intervertebral disc and produce the corresponding neurological symptoms, which is the lesion basis for the onset of cervical spondylosis.

Factors in cervical disc herniation

1. Prolonged low head movement

Poor posture in daily life, such as prolonged bowing of the head (white-collar workers in offices, gamers playing handheld games, and people who like embroidery, etc.), is a high-risk factor for the development of cervical spondylosis. Therefore, you should try to avoid such bad postures and habits in your daily life.

2. Driving a car for a long time

Some studies have shown that continuous driving for more than 4 hours, the muscles and structures around the cervical spine will continue to exist in a state of ischemia and hypoxia, and the risk of degeneration to the normal person increased by 3 times. For fatigue driving, we should say no, not only for the cervical spine, but more importantly, safety.

3. smoking

It has been confirmed that this bad habit has a direct relationship with the onset and progression of cervical spondylosis. If your cervical spine is not good, it is better to quit earlier.

4. heavy duty

Lifting heavy objects is also one of the high-risk factors for cervical spondylosis, especially weightlifters cervical spondylosis can become an occupational disease. So in the gym fitness exercise, lifting weights similar movements or should try to go as little as possible.

I am orthopedic surgeon Lao Niu, welcome to pay attention to bring together knowledge。

Cervical spondylosis is a common disease. It seriously affects the patient's daily work and life. Patients suffering from cervical spondylosis should pay attention to the following points in their lives:

1. Adopt good living habits. Don't keep your head down for a long time. Especially long-term play cell phones, Internet, and hobby mahjong players and desk workers must pay attention. Prolonged bowing of the head will make our neck muscles and ligaments in a state of tension for a long time, no rest. Over time, ligament and muscle strain degeneration will occur, aggravating the progression of cervical spondylosis.

2, to learn to take breaks, for long-term need to work low head of the crowd, to learn to self-protection. In the work to intermittent rest. Usually work or study 40 minutes to rest about 10 minutes. You can do "rice" exercises to relieve the fatigue of the neck ligaments and muscles.

3. Sleeping position should be correct. Sleep accounts for a lot of time in a person's life. So the posture of the neck during sleep is very important. The correct sleeping posture is the cervical spine and head basically maintain physiological curvature, head, shoulders, back three points should be supported. Pillows should not be too high and too low. The neck should feel comfortable on the 2nd day after sleeping.

4, avoid neck injuries, once the neck is injured, seek medical attention in time to avoid delay. Avoid bad sports, such as inversion with head and neck support.

5, go to the regular hospital, refuse to rough, non-professional manipulation massage therapy.

When you have cervical spondylosis, the first thing you should be reminded of is that you should not go to the street or some informal massage parlors for neck massage at will. Sometimes, the irregular treatment may bring further damage to the cervical spine.

Cervical spondylosis occurs mostly as a result of maintaining a posture for a long period of time, and this posture is determined to be detrimental to the normal physiological curvature of the cervical spine. In modern life, the most common lifestyle that affects the health of the cervical spine is the low head, or smartphone addiction. If you are in a city with a subway, you may want to look into the subway car, half or even more people are playing with their cell phones on the subway, this ratio is definitely not an exaggeration.

And nowadays, many people stay up late, lying on their sides or backs in bed to play with cell phones, and this posture is also damaging to the cervical spine.

What do I need to be aware of when I have whiplash?

The first one reminds you to stay away from cell phones as much as possible. Compared to cell phones, computers and televisions have become "cute" because they at least ensure that the cervical spine is in a relatively normal physiological curvature.

There are many ways to relieve cervical spine symptoms, the first is formal Chinese medicine physical therapy and massage, but the premise is formal, to go to a formal hospital, Chinese medicine hospitals are the best.

The second one is to have more exercises, and these exercises have swimming as the most prioritized option. Swimming can promote the blood circulation of the body in general, and it is effective for the relief of cervical spine, which has been proved by many people in practice to be really effective.

You can also try flying a kite flying a kite, the action of tilting your head can relieve the pressure on the cervical spine, the opposite of looking down at your cell phone. The constant slight movement of the cervical spine while flying a kite can reduce the effects of carotid artery stenosis and even the symptoms of insufficient cerebral blood supply.

The third point is that people with bad cervical vertebrae should strictly forbid strenuous exercise of the neck. The reasoning here is self-explanatory.

Cervical spondylosis, also known as cervical spine syndrome, is a general term for cervical osteoarthritis, hyperplastic cervical spondylitis, cervical nerve root syndrome, and cervical intervertebral disc prolapse, and it is a kind of disease based on degenerative pathological changes. It is a disease based on degenerative pathological changes. It is mainly due to long-term cervical spine strain, osteophytes, or disc prolapse, ligament thickening, resulting in the cervical spinal cord, nerve root or vertebral artery compression, and a series of dysfunctional clinical syndromes. The symptoms include instability and loosening of the vertebral joints, protrusion or prolapse of the nucleus pulposus, formation of bone spurs, ligamentous hypertrophy and secondary spinal stenosis, etc., which stimulate or compress the adjacent nerve roots, spinal cord, vertebral arteries, and cervical sympathetic nerves and other tissues, causing a series of symptoms and signs.

Correct bad posture and habits: cervical spondylosis is now a lot of young into, especially office a cluster of easier to suffer from the disease, the younger obvious. Cervical spondylosis has a considerable impact on the patient's work and life, so prevention should not be ignored. Prevention of cervical spondylosis, daily life should correct the bad posture and habits, so that the burden of the cervical spine is not too heavy: to prevent persistent single posture, to avoid muscle fatigue is a major principle, pay attention to the head, shoulders, neck posture, do not deviate from the head shrugged shoulders, talk, read a book to focus on the front, to keep the spine straight. Pay attention to the neck and shoulders to keep warm, avoid head and neck heavy objects, avoid excessive fatigue.

Reasonable diet and balanced nutrition. Patients with cervical spondylosis should usually have a diet rich in calcium, protein, vitamin B, vitamin C and vitamin E. Among them, calcium is the main component of bone, with milk, fish, pig tail bone, soybean, black bean and other content. Protein is also an indispensable nutrient for the formation of ligaments, bones and muscles. Vitamins B and E, on the other hand, relieve pain and fatigue.

Maintain an optimistic spirit, long-term repression of feelings, sentimental people prone to neurasthenia, neurasthenia will affect the bones and joints and muscle rest, in the long run, the neck and shoulders are prone to pain. So we must often keep optimistic and good mood.

Cervical spondylosis is one of the most common diseases among modern people, mainly related to life habits and long-term bad posture, such as looking at the computer for a long time and looking down at the cell phone. Half lying in bed reading books, watching TV.

These poor posture will lead to long-term relaxation of the neck and shoulder muscles, stiffness, so that the cervical spine force is not normal, which leads to soreness, numbness, severe can be accompanied by dizziness, nausea and even numbness of the limbs and other symptoms.

Cervical spondylosis is subdivided into many types, such as the nerve root type, which mostly manifests increased pain, soreness and swelling of the back, neck and shoulders, and weakness of the limbs;

There is also the vertebral artery type, often manifested as dizziness, tinnitus, hearing loss memory loss; spinal cord type is often due to cervical vertebral hyperplasia, compression of the nerves, limb dysfunction; cervical type manifested as neck soreness and swelling, can be aggravated by exertion, easy to fall on the pillow, the symptom is easy to alleviate after physical therapy.

So how to prevent and treat cervical spondylosis? First of all, we should change the previous bad habits, such as when you keep a position to work, be sure to take a break in the middle, do a cervical spine health exercises, and move the neck muscle groups;

A proper neck massage can relax muscle spasms, improve blood circulation in the neck and eliminate neck fatigue.

Also pay attention to the cold and keep warm, whiplash patients with a cold neck, the muscles are more stiff, the pain will be more obvious;

Choose a suitable pillow is very important, you can buy the kind of often cylindrical pillow, pad in the cervical spine after the center part, for cervical spondylosis treatment and prevention has a very good effect.

Cell phone is a great invention, especially the emergence of smart phones make us more and more inseparable from the phone, although the phone has brought us a lot of convenience, but it also triggered a lot of human diseases, cervical spondylosis is one of them. I believe that many people have such a feeling: whether on the bus or subway, or friends dinner gathering, crossing the street, or even go to the toilet or lying in bed, etc. are looking at the phone, people are almost always looking at the phone. These cell phone party is young, and cervical spondylosis is getting younger and younger.

So why does long-term cell phone watching cause cervical spondylosis? Normally people's neck is only bearing the weight of the head, about 5 kg, and when people look at the cell phone often head tilted forward, then the neck to bear the weight of 25 kg or so, fully 5 times the normal range. In the long run, there will be stiff neck muscles, neck pain, limited movement, neck, shoulder and upper limb numbness and other symptoms of cervical spondylosis, serious dizziness, numbness of the limbs, paralysis symptoms.

Therefore, to prevent cervical spondylosis, it is important to avoid looking at the cell phone for a long time, and this is especially true for those who suffer from cervical spondylosis. In addition, such patients also need to have what to pay attention to? 1. Choose the correct sitting posture, sitting neck and shoulder muscles should be relaxed state, and avoid sitting for a long time, timely activity of the neck and shoulders, so that it can be relaxed. 2. We sleep about one-third of the day, so it is very important to choose a proper pillow, and choose to lie down flat or side sleeping position, do not recommend lying on the stomach or curled up to sleep. 3. Avoid neck cold, pay attention to the neck warmth. 4. Avoid cold neck, pay attention to neck warmth. 4. Choose a suitable neck and shoulder health exercise to utilize the recovery of cervical spondylosis.
